Freecycle.org, anyone know how to get on it?

Question

i tried to sart up a membership and it's been pending for about a week, and i replied to the e-mail they sent me. i'm confused, shouldn't it be easier to recycle than they are making it?

Answer 1

Could it be that your membership has been accepted but you haven't set up your Yahoo Group membership preference to get messages by email (rather than by checking the website)?



To check if your membership is already active and if so, set up your mailing preferences ...



Log into Yahoogroups with your YahooID.

Go to the Freecycle Group website from here:  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/  

Set your membership preferences.

Choose a profile you'd like to display to the group

Select the email address at which you'd like to receive group messages

Choose how you receive messages.

If that doesn't work then it probably is human error (the group mods). But they're all volunteers, so have a bit of sympathy if you have to remind them you're still not up & running. My freecycle group has 40,000+ members -- I'm just grateful I'm not a mod myself!

Answer 2

sounds like lazy moderators did you go to the groups page and see if you can change your message settings to daily
