New CMOTC Site Info

CMOTC has moved to our new online home at findsmithGROUPS! Please visit us there: www.CMOTC.findsmith GROUPS.comThere have been some common issues and questions that have come up in the past 48 hours; I hope to address them below.

Issue #1 Login is rejectedThis is a separate site and registration process from our Yahoo! group. If you aren't sure whether you're registered or how to get started follow these 3 steps:1) Go to www.cmotc.findsmith groups.com2) Click the "Get Status Email" link at the bottom of the Member Login box3) Type your e-mail address and push "send"This will either send the invitation with links or confirm you're registered. If you have issues email clgerst@gmail. com

Issue #2 Lost e-mails, trouble logging onFor members who use Yahoo e-mail, Yahoo has recently revved up their spam filters. If you are having problems try the following steps:Log into Yahoo Account and ...1. Click Options.2. Click Filters3. Click Add4. Type: "Safe List" into the Filter Name Field5. Type: findsmithgroups into the field where it says "From header: contains"6. Select "Inbox" where it says "Then ... Move the message to:"7. Click "Add Filter"Once you add findsmithGROUPS to your Safe filter, you should be able to receive all email from the site. If still unable to receive findsmithGROUPS email, check Bulk Mail folder to see if the email was filtered there. If it was, it must be opened and the Not Spam button must be clicked (bottom of window). The email will be moved to your Inbox and Yahoo should approve all ensuing correspondence from findsmithGROUPS.

Issue #3 DuesDues are due next Tuesday, September 1st. The last deadline to receive dues and still shop/sell at the Fall sale is Friday, September 11th. Annual dues can now be paid by credit card on the website, or you can still mail in your check. Checks can be mailed to: Columbus Mothers of Twins Club, PO Box 2843, Columbus, OH 43216-2843. Please write in the memo portion of your check: annual dues YOUR NAME. This will insure a speedier processing of your dues.

Issue #4: Messaging questionsYou can choose to receive e-mails for 3 classes of content (messages, directory, classifieds) at one of four frequencies: individual items as posted, daily, weekly or no contact at all. You can change this using the "My Profile" tab of the top menu bar, scroll down to the bottom of that page and change your preferences. You choose how much contact you have from the site, or you can always log in to read or search the messages just as we did with yahoo.

Open issues that I'm researching with our site provider:moderator e-mails are not delivered computer setup for cookies dues requested even after paying by credit cardIf you're unsure what to do, I suggest you should try:1) Go to www.cmotc.findsmith groups.com2) Click the "Get Status Email" link at the bottom of the Member Login box3) Type your e-mail address and push "send"This will either send the invitation with links or confirm you're registered.
