Please forward the email address of anyone you know who has tried and failed to join the group to me. I'll get them set up. As I mentioned in an earlier message it seems that one of the settings for joining got changed to 'invite only' and I have now put this back. It's still not a public group

Hi! I think I've joined other google groups before, that I later decided to unsubscribe from, and I don't think I had to have a google account to do this. I think when I subscribed, it just told me an address where I was supposed to send an email to with the subject of subscribe me or something,

I never joined this list with a Gmail account. Why not go to Google and put in the E-mail address you prefer as that is what I did and had no problem at the time. Kawal. Sent from my I phone > On 22 Oct 2013, at 03:50 pm, Alex Hall wrote: > > I have been telling people to email > macvisiona

I have been telling people to email macvisionaries+subscr...@googlegroups.com, and they all get the error message about not being able to join. People shouldn't need a Gmail account to join a list. What, then, is the correct subscription address? Joining has always been a huge problem for this l

Sorry for the delay. I was traveling this weekend and am just now catching up on email. Anyone can join the group, there is just an approval process to weed out spammers. I have not found any join requests in my inbox to approve. It's been years since I joined this list so I'm a bit fuzzy on t

Hi all, A few people on the ViPhone list want to join this list. They are getting errors from Google saying that this is an invite-only list and they cannot subscribe. Why is that? I thought this list was only moderated, so new subscribers would have to be okayed by a mod. How are people suppose
