NFG Community Forum E-mail Discussion List

 

What is it:  The NFG Community Forum gives NFG members an easy way to share tips with and get helpful information from other NFG members.  Information about the list is at: http://www.communityforum.net/mailman/listinfo/nfg.  Members’ e-mail addresses are available only to the list administrator.

 

Posting messages:  To post a message, address your e-mail to nfg@communityforum.net . Only registered NFG members are allowed to post messages to the list.  Messages from others are discarded without notice to the sender or the list administrator.  Postings are controlled to block spam and other inappropriate messages. 

 

Receiving messages:  You can receive messages from the list either one by one as they are posted (permitting easy sorting, retrieval, or deletion based on the subject line) or in daily digest form (reducing the number of separate messages you receive).  You can also choose not to receive mail from the list, such as when you are away on vacation.  (However, note that meeting notices and other communications are generally sent via the Community Forum, so you could miss some needed information.)

 

Replying:  You can reply to the individual sender (the default action) if your information is of particular interest to that person or, if your answer is of general interest or future archival value, you can choose “Reply all” to send it to all list members and the list archives. (If you initiate a topic and receive off-list replies that you think are of general interest, it is a courtesy to your NFG colleagues to summarize those replies in a message back to the list.)  Replies sent to the list are preserved in the list archives for future reference.

 

Archives:  List members can search the list archives by subject or date to retrieve information from past postings.  To access the archives, go to http://www.communityforum.net/mailman/private/nfg/ and enter your email address and password.

Getting a reminder of your password:  At the bottom of the http://www.communityforum.net/mailman/listinfo/nfg page is the message “To change your subscription (set options like digest and delivery modes, get a reminder of your password, or unsubscribe from NFG), enter your subscription email address:”.  Enter your e-mail address and click the ‘Edit Options’ button.  This will take you to a page that includes the message “Forgotten Your Password? Click this button to have your password emailed to your list delivery address.”  Click the “Email My Password to Me” button to receive a reminder of your password.  You will also receive a monthly email reminder telling you your password.

Changing list options:  You can change your password or list options at http://www.communityforum.net/mailman/listinfo/nfg or by sending an e‑mail request to Nfg-request@communityforum.net with Help as the subject line or message text.  You will also receive a monthly email reminder telling you how to unsubscribe or change your options. 

List administrator:  The list administrator is Melinda Look at Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest.  You can contact her at lindy@rmhtwincities.org or 612-767-2782 if you have questions, problems, or special requests (such as registering an alternate e-mail address in addition to your regular e-mail address).
