Hey Barry, I want to share a tip with you (and anyone else who runs a google group or would want to join one):
People can join just by sending an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (where GGname is the Google Group name) So for yours, they'd send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The user will receive an email from google asking them to confirm their interest in joining. Once they confirm, they're in, and the next email to the list will come to them (and they can reply to it). If the group requires the manager's permission to join, this won't work and they'll be told they have to request permission to join via the group's home page. Of course, they should send that email from whatever email account whose address they want to join from. And as you said, they don't need a google account for it (nor a gmail address), though if they do subscribe through the group's web interface (and create a google account, whether for a gmail address or any other), that will give them access to the google group's web interface, which will allow them to search the archives and provide access to any calendar or files area. Most groups don't seem to bother with those, so for many, this quick subscription by email can be a help. And it should save you needing to be the middle man to subscribe them, Barry. :-) PS And yes, I just tested it and did indeed join the group. /charlie -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barry Beattie Sent: Friday, July 20, 2007 4:14 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Are You A Queenslander? the Queensland ColdFusionUserGroup is inviting ALL Queenslander CF people to become members of the QLDCFUG.
