I posted something about this to the list a few days ago, but I think
it might not have arrived because I inadvertently sent it to the old
address. Anyway, here is what I wrote. Hope it helps:
Hey folks,
Just thought I'd relay some stuff I discovered after the move to
google groups. Although I have a gmail account, the email address I
use for this list is non-gmail/google, so I wasn't sure how to
change my group/user preferences. Turns out we have to create an
account at google first, using the email address that we're using
for the list.
To create an account go here:
https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount
Again, put in the same email address that you're using for the
list, i.e. the one that is now being used for the google group.
Choose and re-enter a password. Enter the optional information if
you want and enter the CAPTCHA. Press the I Accept button at the
bottom.
It'll send an email confirmation, etc. to you. Reply to it, and you
should be all set. Then, when you're back at google.com, look for
the set of links in the upper-right corner. If you're signed in,
you'll see My Account, as well as sign-out and some others (if
you're not signed in, you'll see a sign-in link that you should
click). Clicking on My Account will get you to a page where you can
change your personal info, password, etc. It also has a link for
Groups. Click on that one to see jQuery (English) listed in the My
Groups section. You can manage your membership (change email
preferences, etc.), add more groups, and much more.
Okay, maybe this is all really basic stuff that people can figure
out on their own. Still, it took me a while to find my way and get
everything set up the way I want it, so maybe this will help
someone else avoid the momentary confusion that I had.
Cheers,
--Karl
