Hi Madge,

I don't receive these ads, however, I received the following from another

list I'm on. Maybe it will help to get rid of the ads. Let me know.

Eunice

From another list

If you're reading this and have a big full-color ad at the bottom

there IS a way to get rid of it if you have internet access (for those

without internet access, you're out of luck - it cannot be changed via

email).

The first step is to make sure that you have a Yahoo! ID and that your

email addy is connected to it.  If you never go to Yahoogroups or

haven't done this, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/memwiz.

One you're in Yahoogroups and you can see the list of the lists you're

subscribed to (My Groups), click on Email Preferences (near the top).

Then click Edit off to the right side of your screen.  Under Message

Format, choose *Do not convert to HTML. Don't change the format of

email sent to me*.  This will make all messages - from my groups at

least - in plain text and the big ads will be just fairly minor

ignorable ads.

It would also be a good idea under Group Invitations to check the

second option:  *Allow group moderators to invite me to their groups.*

This will make sure no one adds you to a group without your

permission.

---I tried following the directions sent to get rid of it but

couldn't do it. Not sure what the linking meant. Not computer

literate here!

I don't want to go to mail sent to home box as I will never be able

to have room for all the groups messages that I belong to. I'll put

up with it for now and hope it goes away once Christmas is over.

Thinking its just a holiday ad and will disappear!!!!

As far as off topic stuff, I feel its good to be off topic once in a

while, it breaks the frustration I feel many times. It is good to

laugh. However, one cannot please all the people all the time or

even some of the time. Someone is bound to be offended if something

is revelent to their background or current status. I for one am not

offended at jokes unless they are really off color and then I don't

care for it. So that is my preference. That is certainly not a

problem with this group so of no concern here.

I do not like to be regimented. I won't stay in a group where I am

not allowed to be me. I won't stay where the atmosphere is so strict

that I am afraid to move. I don't need that type of group. I am

sure there are plenty around that are so strict that one feels

totally restricted but that is not for me. This group tries to stay

well rounded and that is what life is supposed to be, well rounded.

We have a good group here, the people make the group. So we have

great people here!!!!!

I don't remember seeing them when I've read messages from another group

online. Maybe, I just didn't pay any attention to them. I'll check the next

time I read them.

I think if you get the messages in digest form or only read them on-

line you will still get the ads. They are showing up in my group as

well and others I belong to also. I guess Yahoo needs more $$$ to

keep going. It is distracting but, considering the group is free,

we have to make due.

Which ads are we talking about? I own 5 different email lists on Yahoo and

don't get any ads popping up at all.

Madge mentioned the WalMart ad. I haven't seen it either.

Eunice

[Guest guest]

Hi Ric,

I spoke too quickly. Just went to to another list I read web

only. There they were big as life - advertisements.

Eunice

[Guest guest]

I see the Walmart ads too. They are to the right of each message.

Yahoo Groups must have changed their website recently. The ads

started appearing several days ago.

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see what you're talking about now!!!

I receive my posts via Individual Mail so I don't see those ads

you're all talking about. I just came here to the Web Site to read

the messages and " there they are! "

If you read your messages from the web site, you get those ads, if

you receive Individual Mail, you don't.

How about all of you who are on Daily Digest? What are you seeing?

Ads or No Ads?

I just set mine up -- thanks! I hope it works. That was great

(and hidden enough that I never would have found it

otherwise)...

---They must have heard all the complaining cause they have

diminished those ads!!!!! Not located on the screen to annoy me as I

am reading!!

Things like that turn me off and I won't patronize an annoyance!
