This is for all Houston
Illini Club officers who need help getting to the Yahoo! Groups Page.
The Houston Illini Club
officers has a page that handles all of the group emails, files, etc... you can
get to that page by clicking on the following link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HoustonIlliniClub
Click on that link, when you
get there you will our main group homepage. Note near the top whether it says
either,
If it says
'Welcome, Guest' skip to Section
1.2. Otherwise, make sure the person being welcomed is you. Computers
sometimes remember who was using them last and it may think you are your son,
daughter, wife, strange person who stopped by to check their email at your house
last week... you get the idea. If it is not you, click the link on the right
hand side of the page that says, "Sign Out" and proceed to the next
step. If it is you, skip to Section
1.3
On the right hand side of
the page find and click the link that says, "Sign In". If you are an
existing Yahoo! user, sign in using the blanks provided for your Yahoo!ID and
your password. When you log in you will be automatically taken back to the main
page. If you have signed in successfully, skip to Section
1.3.
If you do not have a Yahoo!
ID, click the link that says, "Sign up now." This will take you to the
registration page. Follow the instructions on the page and fill out the form to
get a Yahoo! ID. You do not have to activate Yahoo! Mail if you do not want to.
You may use your current email address to send and receive group mail. If there
were any errors processing your form, you will be taken back to the form and the
problems will be highlighted in red. Fix the errors and submit the form until
you have successfully completed the registration process. Now that you have a
Yahoo! ID, you can access the group page.
In case you are lost, here
is the link again...
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HoustonIlliniClub
Ok... we are very close now. Click the link that says, "Join This Group," and fill out the form on the next page. Your best bet, unless you understand what this form is asking, is to choose the email address you use most often, do not check the hide email box, choose "Individual Emails" and choose "Convert to HTML." Now double check to make sure everything is correct. If it is, Click the Join button at the bottom of the page. Your request for membership in the group will be forwarded to the moderator for quick approval.
Yes, well now, this is a tough spot you are in, is it not? I am not ready to write this part of the page. Just look around. Post a message to see what happens. Upload a file or picture to the site. Whatever you want to do is fine. Don't worry about messing something up. It's set up to keep the data fairly protected. If you have any questions you can email me at webmaster@houstonilliniclub.com
