Darryl Myers tried to send me a PM but my profile wasn't accepting. This
is not the first time I have had a report of this and I don't know what to
do about it.
My viewing of this site is on the email list if that makes any difference.
Now, what can I do and where do I go to make the changes so PM's will be
accepted?
Thanks
Mike

Mike,
PM, implemented or not, is a feature of the forum, not applicable to us
heathen direct emailers. What lots of folks don't seem to understand is
that they can easily extract our email addresses from the message header
and send messages directly to us. I presume there's an opportunity to do
that from the forum also.

Dear heather emailer.
What you are stating is not possible. As a security and anti-spam procedure we NEVER see your addresses unless you go in to the forum and allow such in your profile.
I helped Rob set up his forum profile a while back. We turned on PM and email notification. We also listed his email ther so people can see and send direct emails. This way he gets an email notification if someone sends him a PM. He never has to go check his own.

Thanks for the PM info guys...now if I want to make a change it has to be
done on the Forum, but since I don't use the forum, do I dare venture into
uncharted waters ??
Hmmmmm...perhaps mañana

Sure you can do it.
Your used id is:
Kingsley Coach (it is case sensitive)
The url is:
http://gmc.mybirdfeeder.net/GMCforum/
On the first screen click on "Login" in the upper right area of the screen. On the next screen enter your case sensitive user id and click on "forgot password".
If you do not know your password, simply click on "forgot password" The forum will send you a password to your registered email address.
With that password you will be able to sign in.
The forum says you have been enrolled since 2009. I think that was the last time Eugene did a reset to the database.
If you need step by step instructions, post that request here here and I'll type some up for you.
BTW, once you sign in, you will not need to you sign in again in the future from that machine because your user id and password will be stored in the cookies on your machine.
Here again is the web site to get you started.

Ken
Every message posted shows the email address of the sender. One can just copy that email address to send an email to them.
For example the message that you just posted shows it came from
n9cv@comcast.net
So I could send a private email to you just by using that address.
Emery Stora

Not true.
Email addresses are NEVER shown on the forum. We see that the email came from GMClist and your user id. As an example this posting came from user id "Emery Stora". I have no idea from this posting what your email address is.
Please DO NOT put my email in the text area of a posting on GMCnet again. It exposes me to SPAMERS. I get 3 or 4 emails per day only from people I have given out my email address to. I prefer to keep it that way.
If you know how to sign on to your forum account, I would appreciate it if you would sign on and edit your posting to remove my email address from it.

I am fully aware that the fForum works like that. Which is the reason that I don't use the Forum.

The only email addresses that forum users see are the ones that the mail list subscribers fail to remove when trimming replies, or the ones that people deliberately insert into the text of their posts. We can't see your email address in the post to which I am replying, but we see the one in the text of your post.

If an user chooses to allow his email address to be published on the forum he can check that is his profile. It puts the control of the dissemination of his/her address under his control.
Most of us are very sensitive to the unwarranted distribution of our addresses.
Please remove my email address from the previous posting you made with my address in the text.
BTW, I'm getting SPAM from the Branson KOA as a result of our rally there.

Ken,
Emery doesn't use the forum, so he can't edit the post to remove your email address from it.
Unfortunately, trying to keep our email addresses off the forum is a lost cause. Check the second post in this thread (by Ken H.) where his reply caused an inadvertant posting of the email address of the person to whose post he was replying.
It happens over and over again by lots of email list subscribers.
|
I know, but we have asked repeatedly that they not do that. I regard both Emery and Ken as good friends but I still do not want Nigerian and phishing scams and all of the other crap that goes along with open email accounts. Right now I only get email from people and companies that I want to receive it from. I do not want to have to maintain SPAM filters and folders, etc. because someone published my email address. This is also why my phone number has been unlisted for years. It is located only one place that it is Internet accessible and that is buried in the Black List.
There is nothing preventing Emery from signing on editing my address out of his posting. He intentionally put it there. It was not inadvertent.

Hi Ken
You might want to go to the forum pages and do a search for n9cv before you get too upset with Emery.
My search shows 'about 176,000' returns.
