Dear Freecycle(TM) Members,
So sorry for yet another ADMIN about this but we wanted to let you
all know that the Member Plugin is now up and running!
It has so many awesome features that we know you will all love! We
encourage you all to install it and try it out. You won't need to do
anything with it but install it to your computer and then log onto
the site.
Now onto our previously scheduled ADMIN rerun...
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 sent 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):

Are you thinking, "Why bother?" Here are a few more good reasons to
use the plugin:
1.) It shows you your recent OFFER and WANTED posts, so you can keep
track of what items you're still offering or looking for.
2.) It allows you to easily mark your posts as TAKEN or RECEIVED
with just a few clicks - so you can keep other people informed
without having to compose a whole new post.
3.) It 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.
4.) It is pre-configured so that you will always remember how to set
up your subject lines and messages. It will drastically reduce the
need for moderators to send reminder emails to you and have you
repost your items.

We sincerely hope you all try out the Member Plugin. It's a wonderful
tool that will make posting a snap!
