Sew What’s Up Presents

The Sew What’s New Archive

I started a yahoo group.Here is the information

sew-whats-newfriends
Group home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sew-whats-newfriends
Group email: <email address removed for privacy>

when you go to the Yahoo group you must ask to join. Please use your site name in your request so I know who you are. It isn't as nice as what we have here & I will probably ask a few people to help me moderate. Only moderators can accept people into the group & delete messages

Barb, that's great! I am talking to my husband about setting up my own boards (DH is a computer programmer and knows a lot about such things), but I'm not sure when we will be able to get things started. I'll certainly join everyone over in the yahoo groups and keep you posted. Thanks!

I've just joined your group :)

I also just wanted to add that I use a free forum for another group that I started, it is easier to use than yahoo groups imo, it is not the same as this site but similar. If anyone is interested in being the administrator for it I could share the info (I'd offer to do it, but I already run one site and just don't want to be responsible for two LOL:bolt: ).

Kaitlin if you get something started feel free to post it as a link on the Yahoo site. I am open to anything as long as we don't lose contact. I hope Jan gets back from her trip before this site closes!!

I love it! Thanks so much, you guys. This is all going to work out great. Wish I knew more about such things but I'll do my best, if not with the technicalities then with support and LOTS of posts. (I'm good at that! :up: )

Going to go sign up right now, Barb.

I have changed the site so now you have to ask permission to join. There will be a spot for a message just send me your screen name from here & I will approve you. I will try to check in every couple of hours for the next few days so you don't have to wait too long to post.

If you want to make it easier just PM my your e mail & I can invite you. I go back to work in 2 weeks so I won't be able to be on as much then. If anyone else would like to be a moderator let me know I will add you so you can invite or accept people to the group.

I joined the Yahoo group, my yahoo id is cshortteach. However, I have a concern about the messages being available for everyone to see instead of for members only. When I joined groups with public messages before I started getting a lot of of spam. Would it be possible to make the messages available to members only.

Carol - the messages on this site are available for people to see without necessarily being members. You just can't post unless you are a member yourself.

Yahoo is supposedly getting better on the spam - don't know myself. Just make sure you keep an email address private for yourself is probably the main thing.

Everyone else has been approved. I am working on making it private so no one but member can read the messages but I can't find it right now. I will check with my nephew in the morning.

I did it it is now private you must be a member to see anything.

Maybe the ones of us with a different user name than here should sign all our posts with our original usernames. Less confusion that way.

Just a reminder for everyone. Once you open the site for Yahoo make sure that you save it to your "Favorties". You can then put a Icon fro ther onto your desktop so you can go to the site from that. For those who are "computer challenged" just ask and someone will help walk you thru how to do it.

Vickki I just approved you.

I know that the Yahoo group is hard to follow sometimes. I think it is more for groups or families to spread news not really for the kind of thing we do here but I just wanted to make sure that we could find everyone if a new site was started.I like Weny's site. I will check into threadstop more later. Right now I feel disloyal going somewhere else before this site closes. I know I am being silly but I just can't make myself do it.

Barb, if it is all private except for members only now, would it be better to use the database section to keep track of who is/was who, and even an email address? I didn't like the idea of it when anyone could see it.

I must admit, I don't like the overall layout of the yahoo groups, and can't wait to see what kaitlinn can organise. I guess I don't really want to share a board with other groups either. Geez I am selfish!
Cheers, Soph.

Barb, a billion thanks to you. I realize it was a knee-jerk, ":shock: , what can I do right now" reaction for you to go to Yahoo. But I do find Yahoo difficult.

I checked out Wendy's forum (and joined) and it looks very, very nice and also very similar to this one. Kaitlinnegan is also a very savvy girl so maybe between the two of them something perfect will arise.

I'm just a little lamb. I'll go where ever the flock goes and just be happy to be there with all of ewes :love: .

Thanks, Lennie

I joined this group about 10 days ago and it is closing.

I just signed up for the new Yahoo group. I had a user name with Yahoo for another group so I used that
Barbararaboin.
Raboin was my maiden name and I have never had it rejected as a user name. :)
I like to use the KISS method in life.
I am Barbara Span here.
Thanks,
Barbara

Hi I just joined this group, hope I'm allowed in. Thank you for keeping us together, I've just joined Wendys site too, so one way or another I'll be able to catch up with everyone. I want my name to be Bruna as on this site but I couldn't figure out how to organise that, maybe one of you more computer literate people can help me?
Regards, Bruna

Bama,OK, am I blind or what, but where on the yahoo boards is the simplify button?
I found it above the posts. I think it was little blue letters. It made the posts go to subject lines only and then you can click on each post to read it instead of having to scroll down.

I am "membership pending". I too find it hard to navagate thru Yahoo groups but at least it keeps everyone together.

I just accepted all pending members.

Lennie I also find Yahoo more difficult than the boards. I really like Wendy'd site & will visit there more when I get this house situation settled. I almost think it is harder to move people within the house than to move to a different house. I will try to take pictures of the progress tomorrow. I want to sew!!!! Maybe next week.

I will try to set up a data base tomorrow if my grandsons cooperate. 6Yo is trying to finish his library minutes to enter a drawing. It needs to be done by friday & he still needs 2 hrs. So Maybe!!!

Not sure what you're talking about with the database but here is a list of people who haven't (at the time I looked so it's probably already out of date) joined at yahoo. If anybody has contact with these people we should probably point them to the group if they want to keep in touch. Sorry if I've missed anybody - I just went through the most prolific posting list and thought of a couple more (there's also a few here who aren't around as much these days).

Smessier
Siwian
Venus Elaine

Have looked briefly at Wendy's site - looks good.

we still need Mary & how about Dave ( I like looking at his wooden creations). Jan is on vacation I PMed a few people & invited them I haven't heard from Motherinlaw or Bren & I am not sure who else we are missing.
I opened a database. Anyone can add their own record to it. The catagories are name, email, location, SWN name. You can fill in as many fields as you are comfortable with leave any blank if you don't want to answer.

Oh, some of those people are my favorite posters...I hope we can get them notified in time. Some of these people may be on vacation, considering the time of the year...

Maybe Mary would mention the new site in her newsletter after these boards shut down?

Thanks Beachgirl, for your PM and help. I've just sent Mom of Six a PM and am now waiting to see what happens. Hope to see around on the boards. Thanks again.

Hi Barb, got your PM and sent you another one, gosh all this change is hard to cope with but I'm going to persevere and eventually I'll get there. I just hope I don't mess up too badly as I'm not real good with computers. In fact, when I master something new I get so excited that I can't sleep! Thanks again, you're all wonderful people.
Regards, Bruna

Bruna have you registered here yet http://sewingfriends.activeboard.com/
Wendy started a board that is similar to this one. Much easier than Yahoo.
