Sticky - Help becoming a member and posting to the group

[christian r]

You are not required to have a Google account to post to this group, but you are required to be a member of the group.
Members with a Google account may post to this group using the web interface, non-account holders may only post by sending email addressed to rvhpa[at]googlegroups.com.

• If you don't have a Google account but would like to get one,

click either "New Topic" or "Sign In", then on the following page click "Sign Up".
Note: You don't need to use Gmail to sign up for a Google account, any email account will do.

• If you have a Google account,

Sign in to your account.

Press the blue button "Apply to join this group".

Select a Display Name and confirm the email address is correct.

Press the blue button at the bottom to submit the application.

A confirmation email will be sent when you have been approved, this may take from a few seconds to a few hours.

• Become a member without making a Google account,

The easiest way to become a member without a Google account is to contact a manager and request to be added manually.



Alternatively you can follow these instructions to make the request:

Send an email to rvhpa+subscribe[at]googlegroups.com  You don't need to include a subject or body, just mail it.

You will then receive an email where the Subject line reads something like    "Join request for rvhpa [{EOG7zpEFTsn7Bnhwxxs0}]"

DO NOT click the tempting blue button. Instead, reply to the email. Don't change anything, particularly the Subject line, just reply to the sender. The return address will be rvhpa+subconfirm[at]googlegroups.com
 
A group manager will approve the request and you may receive a confirmation email, or you may not, I've seen it go both ways.

You may now post to the group via email with the address rvhpa[at]googlegroups.com




*** Please note there are some limitations when joining without a Google account: 

• You cannot use the web interface to make posts, all posting must be done by email
• To reply to individual posts (as opposed to starting a new topic) you will need to receive each post as an individual email and reply to it.
