When you get the emails from the group, choose the Reply via webpost option. You

don't actually have to reply, this will get you to the online Yahoo group.

When you do this, you will see a menu on the left. It looks like a vertical blue

box with these options:

Home

Messages

Files

Photos

Links

and so on.

If you click Files, it will bring you to the files section of the group. There

is a plethora of information available there.

If you click Messages from that same menu, you will be brought to the online

message board. When the message board populates on the screen, at the very top,

you will see two boxes. One says message# (each message we post has a number

associated with it) and one says search. In this search box you can type

anything you want.

If you click Advanced you can set criteria like:

date - if you click the drop down menu you have date options

author - if you know who posted what you are looking for, you can type their

name here

subject - if you know the subject of the post, you can type this here. if you

type LSCDL here it will pull back any posts that have that " word " in the subject

line

message body - if you know that you are looking for a specific word that would

be in the message you can type this here. if you typed LSCDL artichoke, it would

pull back all messages with both of those words in it.

The search option at the top of the page searches all subjects and messages and

will give you the most results. Use the advanced options if you know exactly

what you are looking for. To find Marilyn's LSCDL recipes, I went to advanced

and set these options:

Date: left it alone because I wanted all results

Author: I typed Marilyn

Subject: LSCDL

When I clicked search every recipe Marilyn's ever posted with LSCDL in the

subject line was there (she always puts LSCDL in the subject of her recipes

she's posting).

Hope this helps. I wish the site let you post pics in the message body instead

of being plain text. I am a computer support tech and my job centers around

sending out instructions to users. I use screen shots (pictures of the screen)

and highlight what I'm explaining so even the most novice user can follow them.

Or, at the bottom of the emails I get, there's a little link that says 'Visit your Group' and when you click that it takes you to the homepage =) Cheers!Alyssa 16 yo UC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Prednisone 10 mg 1x per day (trying to wean!!!!)
