Dear Freecycle(TM) Members,
I'd like to take the time to welcome our newest volunteer moderator
Charene. Please welcome her and show her the same kindness and
patience that you all showed me when I first came on board. =)
Now onto some exciting news!
Are you looking for an easier way to post messages? The chances are
that at some point, you've had a moderator ask you to correct
something in your post - for example, you might have gotten the
subject line wrong. That creates extra work for you and the moderators
and creates delay hassles, because you only find that out after
you've send your message.
So wouldn't it be great if you could get the messages right in the
first place? That's what this is for - it's a tool to help you create
suitable messages for Freecycle(TM) groups!
An easy way to get your message formatting right is to use the
Freecycle Member Plugin for Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
Here are some relevant links (also found on our Links page):

Member Plugin for FF or IE

Why Bother?:
You get tools to work easily with your recent posts. It shows you
your recent OFFER and WANTED posts, so you can keep track of what
items you're still offering or looking for. It also allows you to
easily mark them as TAKEN or RECEIVED with just a few clicks - so you
can keep other people informed without having to compose a whole new
post. And it also hides posts you probably don't want to see. And
once you've installed, all this works within Yahoo's web pages - so
you don't need to remember to go to another site, or sign up anywhere
else - it all just comes for free.

We sincerely hope you all try out the Member Plugin. It's a wonderful
tool that will make posting a snap!
If you need to reach the volunteer moderators, please send an email
to the address listed on the front page of the site towards the
bottom.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
