FFML Is Back - jpub - 07-01-2007 I received this email this morning. I've resigned from Mod duties and quit the FFML, but I thought I'd pass it on to you guys anyway. ----------------------- Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. After about 3-4 months of being down, we're back operational. Just have to unpack a few things and get back up and running. First, I want to make something clear: I'm not planning on acting in a moderator capacity. I'll leave this to the moderators already in place. My job is to run the machine the list is running on. I'm more likely to get into writing again, if anything - and hope, in fact, to do exactly that. =^^= Most of everything is going to be the same protocol, but what is winding up changing is the interface. We're running Mailman here (rather than Listar/Ecartis, which the FFML ran on for over a decade), so the interface is a little different, and is pretty much done through the web. First and foremost, CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR THE WELCOME MESSAGE. If you have to, look in your spam traps. In this email are complete instructions for how to log in and change your subscription options. If you have multiple welcome messages, use the MOST RECENT one. If you have misplaced this email, go to this URL: chez-vrolet.net/mailman/options/ffml ...and follow the prompts. Full documentation for Mailman can be found here: www.gnu.org/software/mailman/users.html As we here on the 'net are prone to saying, RTFM. For those of you who had digest or vacation flags on your addresses, you'll possibly have to replace them at your option. For those who were hidden, by the time you get this, I'll likely have replaced your flag. Please make sure you have your configurations set accordingly. There are probably going to be a few quirks here and there, so please bear with us as we get this mess ironed out. If, for instance, you got a duplicate welcome message, sorry 'bout that - apparently the software freaked out when loading all three thousand of you through the web interface. Of course, that's what the command line is for. =^^=;; In closing...well, I really wish I had something more to say about Philip's passing, but all I can say is that he will be missed, and that I'm glad he picked up the ball when we left fanfic.com something over five years ago. Now it's my turn, and as corny as this sounds, I hope that I can do as good of a job as he did. -Dennis-- Christopher Angel, aka JPublic The Works of Christopher Angel "Camaraderie, adventure, and steel on steel. The stuff of legend! Right, Boo?" Re: FFML Is Back - Jeanne Hedge - 07-01-2007 Please note - he's not kidding about using the latest Welcome Message that you might get (I got 2). The passwords in them are different, and if you try to change your user settings using the password from the earlier message, you're not going to get anywhere.
