Subscribing

To subscribe to Pub-Forum, go to http://www.pub-forum.net/subscribe. It’s by far the simplest way.

If you do insist on subscribing by e-mail, send a message to pub-forum-request@pub-forum.net. Put the word “subscribe” in the body of the message (no quotes). If you want to receive the messages as a digest, use the command “subscribe digest” instead of just “subscribe.” You’ll get a confirmation message by return e-mail (This is to ensure that somebody else isn’t subscribing you as a prank.) Follow the directions in that message and you’ll be subscribed. After that, you’ll receive a welcome message, which will contain a password. You’ll need this password to make any changes to your subscription.

Unsubscribing

To unsubscribe from Pub-Forum, send a message to pub-forum-request@pub-forum.net with “unsubscribe <password>” in the body (no quotes, and replace <password> with your own password), or better yet, go to http://www.pub-forum.net/myadmin.

March 15, 2002 to October 31, 2003

During this period we used a provider that hosted our list on Majordomo, a very reliable, but primitive list server package. Archives were available only as huge monthly text files. Special thanks to Wendy Woudstra for converting them to a format much more useful to Pub-Forum members. We have password protected the directory to prevent spambots from harvesting e-mail addresses from the old messages. You will need username “Pub-Forum” and password “archives” to get in. Click here to access the archives.

May 15, 1999 to March 15, 2002

Pub-Forum was hosted by Onelist, which was later absorbed by Yahoo Groups. You can access archives from that period (going back to May of 1999) at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pub-forum/messages. You do have to be a member of Yahoo Groups, and subscribe to the Pub-Forum group in order to access the archives. If you were not a subscriber before, you can still subscribe, even though messages are no longer being delivered through that medium. Follow the directions on Yahoo Groups for access. We cannot provide technical support for problems with Yahoo. That’s why we don’t use them any more.

Prior to May 15, 1999

The list adminuistrator during this period did not keep archives.

Help

You can always go to http://www.pub-forum.net/myadmin to administer your subscription and change your options. To get help by e-mail, send a message topub-forum-request@pub-forum.net with “Help” in the body (no quotes). If all else fails, send a message to the List-Moms and ask us to step in, but remember, we have lives and businesses and families, and we aren’t on call 24/7. We’ll do what we can as soon as we can.
