Yes, you should see an "Options" area on the forum, with a dropdown next to it that says
"email subscriptions". I also get everything by email, so hopefully this should work for
everyone (although Karen has indicated that it might not be working for her)

If my post was not clear enough, here is a page from the Nabble support forum:

Re: How does this new thing work?

I have used that button but I am not given options of daily or individual. Maybe that is what the problem is with Karen??
I haven't used the email before but am trying it now to see how that works out.

It would appear that Yahoo Groups is never going to be what it used to be.
And with Yahoo now requiring cellphones to activate your Yahoo ID, it
doesn't seem to be an appropriate place for an electrical sensitivity
group.

Yes, I have that problem with many forums as well... I simply never think to
go check on them. I think Nabble's email notifications are better than how most
other forum software works.

Re: How does this new thing work?

I know I get that message to give your cell phone number but there has always been a place to click 'not now' or something like that. Has this changed?

I wonder if MSN.com has groups?

The email notifications have started but I chose daily digest and it is emailing all replies to me

I also had a time there where it was sending me emails, but not what I requested
(digest vs. individual emails). I fixed it by unsubscribing and trying again.

Apparently it has changed for people who are just getting a YahooID
for the first time.

> I wonder if MSN.com has groups?

They did, but disbanded in 2009.

There certainly are a lot of options out there, and I must have looked at least 20
of them in the past couple weeks, and also did something similar 3 years ago
when Yahoo temporarily tried to "modernize" YahooGroups. And this is where
we ended up. :-)

Facebook seems to be where all the "groups" have moved to.
Everything else just seems to be for people who don't want to
use Facebook, either because they hate Facebook in general,
or they don't want their Facebook friends to know that they
are a member of an electrical sensitivity group.

Marc, not to mention the privacy issue. No way will I give out personal info like that.

Marc,

I changed my message delivery to emails that I am used to.

I miss seeing email addresses, but I understand this is to protect our privacy. If anyone wants to contact someone privately, we can ask whoever we'd like to talk to to email us & put our email address in the email .

You can email people through the es-forum.com website interface. You just
click on the their username/avatar/"hidden email" link, and it will let you send
an email.

But yes, it appears to protect your email addresses much better than
YahooGroups did.
