Re: [NS Cavalry] Subscribing to 50th Year list without Yahoo account

[Eowyth þa Siðend]

Ah. OK. I didn't realize that was a "new feature". I've had a yahoo account for many years now (because of these types of lists) and have always been able to "skip" adding my cell phone. :-/ I'm sorry to hear that's not a universal thing.

From what Terafan and Doe have said, these updates WILL NOT be posted regularly on other pages. 

HOWEVER - I just did a test, and you *can* subscribe to the Yahoo List without becoming a yahoo member. You might have some difficulty when it comes to files & photos, but this will at least allow you to RECEIVE e-mails and SEND e-mails. You're going to have difficulty accessing anything on the yahoo group website itself unless you sign up for a yahoo account, but at least this way, you can send & receive e-mails to the group.

First - Send an e-mail to: ' sca-eq-50ye...@yahoogroups.com ', subject line "Subscribe" (not necessary, but useful)

* You should receive a "Please confirm your request to join SCA-EQ-50YEAR" e-mail from Yahoo Groups

Second - click on the link given under "TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE GROUP"

* This will take you to the yahoo group page. Insert any information you feel like giving. I would suggest telling the List moderator what type of Delivery you would like for your e-mails (Individual e-mails or Daily Digest). 

* Doe or Terafan should approve within 24 hours

* You will receive a "Yahoo Groups: Welcome" e-mail once you are approved

​I just ran this test on another group that I manage/coordinate and this allowed me to send AND receive e-mails. However, it does not allow me to see files or posts on the website itself, unless I want to create a yahoo account.​ However, this should solve your issue of receiving the information from the list. :)

​Let me know if you have any issues.

In Service,

Eowyth​

Yahoo has been doing this for “some time”. If you have an existing account, you can “skip it”, but they are apparently adamant on this when you try to create a new account. I am on a lot of Yahoo Groups and totally hate going there to see photos, documents and such because I always have to jump through the hoops to get to see the pretty pictures (ALWAYS asks me to change my password and ALWAYS asks for a phone number). This is just a “feature” of Yahoo that they use to increase security (they say). Funny that my Yahoo email address gets the most spam.

In trying to sign on as a member on the yahoo page, its requesting I become a yahoo member.  When I tried signing up for a yahoo account, it insists I give my cell number so they can send a "verification code" so I can complete my membership.

 

So I was wondering, is the pertinent information and updates for horses at SCA 50th going to be on a location other than the yahoo page?

Anna, what information are you talking about? I have a yahoo account, but have never had to provide a phone number.
