LDSClerks is back!! The list is up and operating again, and you are welcome
to post away.
There have been a couple of changes that you need to know:
1. The list address has changed slightly. It is now
ldsclerks at lists.mormonstoday.com
The extra "lists." in front of the domain name is important, and
messages won't get to the list without it. As before, messages sent to the
Yahoogroups address are forwarded to the ldsclerks at lists.mormonstoday.com
and will await moderation before being sent to the list.
2. If you were on both the digest and regular list on the old host (this
was true for 40 addresses), you will no longer be able to get both the
digest and the regular list at the same address at the same time. I put all
the 40 addresses on both on to just the regular list.
AND, you may want to know about the following new benefits:
1. There is now a web-based interface for those who have subscribed through
mormonstoday.com. It does require a password -- which no one has at the
moment. The software assigned a random password to you when your address
was added to the new software. You can get the password by visiting the web
interface at:
http://lists.mormonstoday.com/listinfo/ldsclerks
and entering your email address in the "Unsubscribe or edit options" box on
the bottom of the page. The page you get by clicking on this button allows
you to have your password mailed to you. You can then log in and change the
password to whatever you like.
2. I've loaded the complete list archives since the list began in December
1998! Its not yet searchable (I can probably set something up using Google
soon), but it is mostly complete. We are nearly at 20,000 posts over the
almost 10 years that LDSClerks has been active.
You can see the archives at:
http://lists.mormonstoday.com/pipermail/ldsclerks/
3. The new list software also makes it easier for me to name additional
moderators to assist in running the list. If you would like to volunteer to
help out, please let me know. I will also ask longtime list members if they
would be willing to help on this front. More on this later.
For the next week or so, I'm happy to allow questions on the list about how
the list software runs and about the web pages for the list. I appreciate
any and all feedback, and I'll try to respond to any questions.
