BOUNCING If group messages sent to your email address are returned to Yahoo! Groups as undeliverable ("bouncing"), your Yahoo! Groups account may be temporarily disabled.

Messages can be returned for several reasons: 1. Your mailbox may be full -- try deleting messages from your Inbox. 2. Your ISP may have a backlog of email to process -- contact your ISP. 3. Your ISP may be blocking email from Yahoo! Groups -- contact your ISP.

In many cases, Yahoo! Groups can automatically reactivate your account once the delivery problem is solved. However, in some cases you will need to manually reactivate your account: 1. Visit your My Groups page. 2. Look for a bounce alert near the top of the page. 3. Click the Alert link to reactivate your account.


EVENT POSTING If you have an event coming up in your area that you may want other girls to either partcipate in or attend, be sure to post it in the 'calendar' section and it will automatically be sent to everyone in the list. We are here for each other and to promote our fundraising and entertainment efforts in the gay community. For legal purposes and to comply with yahoo regulations the following must take place:

All posted events must state the minimum age of attendees where the event is taking place. If the event is licensed (alcohol available), the posting must include: "Attendees must be [insert minimum age required] or older and have valid identification."
