Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Many members of , Lyme-Documents, and -Offtopic (about half) still have not " converted " their eGroups account into a account. While this does not NEED to be done in order for you to receive email, it does need to be done before you can access any of the features from the web (including the archives). I HIGHLY encourage ALL members to convert their accounts as soon as possible! Since the merge has already changed their conversion instructions at least once. Because I have already converted my account, I can't " re-convert " to see if my original instructions are still precisely accurate. If you wait much longer to convert your account, I may not be able to help you much if you run into problems. I will have to refer you to . Maybe the instructions work well and aren't at all confusing, but why take that chance? PLEASE take the time to convert your account now. If you have any questions I'll be glad to help. The following instructions should work just fine. The language may have changed just a bit, so the words I have put in quotes may no longer be the exact words found. I'm sure where the words have been changed, you will find something that sounds the same. This looks complicated, but once it is done it becomes very simple to sign in to the webpages and find information. Thanks! Robynn -Owner Start at this webpage: local/news.html . Feel free to read this page for a little bit of information about the merger. Then go to the bottom of the page and click on " Link my eGroups account to a ID " . You will be asked for the email address and password you used for egroups. (If you don't know your password, put your email address in the box below, " Don't have a password? Forgot your password? " and click Continue. Your password will be sent to you by email in about a minute.) Then you can choose either the " I have a account " hyperlink or the " I don't have a account " hyperlink. If you choose the " I have a account " hyperlink you will be asked on the next page to enter your ID and password. Once that is done, BOTH your egroups and your accounts will be merged into ONE account. You will have a ID identical to the ID you had. (If you already have a ID then this should all look familiar to you.) If you click on the " I do not have a account hyperlink, you will be given instructions on how to create a new ID for . Follow the step-by-step instructions. When that is done, your account will now be a account. Please note, once you convert your account, you will need your ID to access the webpages. You will no longer use your email address to sign in. Please write this down in a safe and easily accessible place.
