I just checked my account and sure enough, I had all Yes checks. I
hope this will cut down on the amount of junk mail I have been
receiving lately.
The following was on the Albin Cruisers mail:
From another group:
YahooGroups has made the obnoxious decision to reset everyone's
marketing preferences to receive marketing Spam e-mail, snail mail
and even phone calls based on your preferences.
In order to re-establish your desire not to be inundated by SPAM from
YAHOO, you will want to make the following changes:
1) Go to your groups home page.
2) In the upper right corner you will see a link named "Account
Info".
3) Click on this link.... you may need to provide your log-in
password.
4) This will take you to your YAHOO ID CARD.
5) There is a link called "Edit Your Marketing Preferences" Click
on this link.
6) This will take you to your marketing preference page where you
will notice that you are now set up as "YES" on every option.
7) Go down through the list and mark "NO" on each subject that you
would not want to receive offers.
8) Make sure you go down to the bottom where you are also set up to
receive offers by snail mail and phone ... Mark this "NO"!
9) At the bottom of the page there is a box called "Save
Preferences". Make sure you click on this box to save the changes
you've made.
