How can I subscribe to a Yahoo! Group?

Question

Is sending a blank e-mail to the group's subscribe address enough or does the moderator still has to approve my subscription??? (At the group's settings writes that "Membership does not require approval".) I am a member of the group and we want to add new members but our moderators are so busy to add, so are there any other ways to join a Yahoo! Group? Pleaseee HELP!

Answer 1

Depending on how the group is set up even after a person sends an e-mail to the group's subscribe e-mail address the owner or moderators will have to approve the new member.  Potential members can join at the group site by clicking on the "Join this Group" that shows up in the group's homepage in the upper right hand corner.

Answer 2

send people the link of the group and have them click the 'join this group' link which is in the far top right of the homepage for non members.

you as a member cannot add members.

Here's how you can subscribe to a yahoo group: ( I hope this will help you!)

Join via the group’s page:

Once you’ve located a group to join (at groups.yahoo.com, you can browse the Groups directory or search for a group by topic), click Join This Group in the upper-right corner of the group’s page.

Haven’t signed in yet? You’ll be asked to enter your Yahoo! ID. If you don’t have one, register by clicking Sign Up at the top of the page.

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 group messages, and more.

Join the mailing list only:

Yahoo! Groups recommends that you join a group via the group’s page (above). But if you want, you can simply sign up for the mailing list for the group. When you’re only on the mailing list, you don’t get access to all the group's web features (Photos, Files, Links, Polls, Calendar.)

To subscribe to a group's mailing list via email, send a blank email to:

groupname-subscribe@yahoogroup...

Make sure to replace "groupname" with the actual name of the group (e.g., pastry_chefs-subscribe@yahoogr...

When you get the confirmation message, just reply to it…and your subscription will be complete!

Respond to an invitation to join:

If someone sent you an email invitation to join a group (and you’d like to join), click Join this group!
