Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 You may want to post the following in the NTH Adrenals Group: Unfortunately, there is a great deal of controversy going on right now if you signed up for a service called GROUPLY (a website which manages your memberships), gave them your ID and password, and had your email changed to " @grouply.com " . In other words, you are now participating in what is awfully similar to a Phishing scam, even though they will firmly deny it. Namely, when you sign up for the grouply service, you have potentially given EVERYONE on Grouply access to this group and its files...AND EVERY SINGLE GROUP YOU BELONG TO, including those that are very confidential. And...that is a violation of Yahoo's Terms of Service: para 5: “You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account” So, it is being recommended to group owners and their moderators that no one should be allowed to use the grouply.com email address, and we are now requiring that you change your email address. If not, we will be forced to remove you, and that will occur by next weekend. I will continue to monitor the information about grouply, and if there are any changes, will let you know. Janie p.s. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL. THIS GROUP IS ABOUT ADRENAL TOPICS. If you need to email me directly, just press reply, then click on the down arrow on the right, then my email. Thanks. *************************************************** HOW TO CHANGE YOUR EMAIL SETTINGS: Click the link that says EDIT MEMBERSHIP which is located just above the colored banner that says the group's name. Once you are at the Edit Membership Page, find the heading Email Address. Here you will choose the email address you would like to use. If your email address of choice is not listed in the drop down menu, click the link that says Add New Email Address and follow the instructions from there. Yahoo will have to send a confirmation before the change can take effect. Log back in to the group after confirming new email address. Go through the steps again and your new email address should now be in the drop down box. Click Save Changes. If you belong to several groups, like most of us do, then the easiest way to change your email address preferences is to: Log in (if you're not already) to: http://groups.yahoo.com/ mygroups. Click the link on the right side that says EMAIL PREFERENCES. The page that comes up will show what email addresses you have listed and will have links to either ADD or REMOVE email addresses. Click either one to either add a new email address or remove one. YOU SHOULD DELETE THE GROUPLY ADDRESS IF YOU HAVE ONE. If adding a new email address, Yahoo will need to send you a confirmation email to verify your email addy is valid. After you have completed the confirmation go back to http://groups. yahoo.com/ mygroups. Click the Tab that says EDIT MY GROUPS. Here you will be able to change your email address to ALL of your groups or those of your choosing. You can also change the way your emails are delivered for all your groups such as Individual Emails, Daily Digest, Special Notice, etc. Other options available on the Edit My Groups page is Leave Group, and Yahoo Profiles. If you scroll to the bottom, you will see there are options to Set all of the above with one click. Save Changes. You do not need to unsubscribe and then re-subscribe to any of your groups to change your email address. If you are a Grouply member, you will have to write to them directly to close your account, if you want to do that. For your protection, you should IMMEDIATELY CHANGE YOUR YAHOO PASSWORD & YAHOO GROUP EMAIL SETTINGS!! -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
