How to Subscribe

In order to subscribe to the TOLIFALS-Chat group, you must be registered with Yahoo!Groups.

If you are already registered with them, skip STEP 1 and proceed to STEP 2.


STEP 1:  Register with Yahoo!Groups.

To register, head to the Yahoo!Groups main page at http://groups.yahoo.com/ and click on the Click Here to Register link on the upper left hand side of the page.

Once there, you will need to provide your email address, a limited amount of other information, and select a password for yourself.

Once you have successfully registered, you will receive an email from Yahoo! Member Services confirming your account with them.

If you were previously a member of any eGroups mailing list, then you will need to follow the instructions on how to link your eGroups account to Yahoo!Groups.

Open the confirmation email that was sent by eGroups and reply to it. It is not necessary to enter any text in the reply.

This will activate your account on Yahoo!Groups to allow you to proceed.


STEP 2: Subscribe to TOLIFALS-Chat.

Head to the TOLIFALS-Chat page at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TOLIFALS-Chat and click on the SUBSCRIBE button in the Membership column on the right hand side of the page.

You will see a screen describing your membership options. Change any of these that you wish, then click on the JOIN button at the bottom of this screen.

The TOLIFALS-Chat page should reappear and the text in the right hand column under Membership should now read “You are a member of this group.”

You can access the chat room from the Chat button on the left hand side of this page, from the link on the left hand side of the TOLIFALS-Chat webpage, or by clicking here.

Troubleshooting

What to do if...

  • You get to the TOLIFALS-Chat page to subscribe, click the SUBSCRIBE button and instead of the screen indicated above you get the Welcome to eGroups page.
    The chances are you are not signed in. Check the right hand side of the golden/yellow banner at the top of the page. If you see a message reading Welcome Guest, then you need to log in using your email address and the password you selected earlier.

    You might want to check the box under the Password field that says “Remember me.” This will place a cookie on your computer so that the next time you visit eGroups you will not need to log in again.
  • You get to the TOLIFALS-Chat page intending to enter the chat room and the Chat link on the left hand side of the page is not “clickable.”
    The chances are you are not signed in. Check the right hand side of the golden/yellow banner at the top of the page. If you see a message reading Welcome Guest, then you need to log in using your email address and the password you selected earlier.
