Hi Martin or anyone else who can help. Our list is apparently very
frustrating to join. Any advice?
Bill, I may be totally inept but it is really all too difficult for me to
work out what is happening. I went to the link , gave my details and
clicked on "regular" to subscribe. I was then told to wait for a message.
After a couple of minutes the following arrived:
OK B074841C
The B074841C confirmation code does not correspond to any pending command. A
command can only be confirmed once, after which the confirmation code is
deleted and can no longer be used. If you are sure that you did not already
confirm this command, then check the confirmation request to make sure that
the code is the correct one. Also, check your mailbox for a message with the
subject "Command confirmation request cancelled". Commands must be confirmed
within a certain time frame or they will expire. If all else fails, then you
can always send the command again to get a new confirmation code.
I have not got any email "Command confirmation request cancelled". If by
"pending command" they mean my request to subscribe, then the confirmation
code is, I suppose, the one above. I don't have any way of checking that
it is the correct one, whatever that may mean. I will make a second
request (= send the command again?) and see what happens. First I must
have some lunch.
A subsequent email might give some idea why our list is so static.
Bill
Here's the latest: I have tried again twice and each time I have gotten the
same message I showed you earlier. At this point I think I will give up.
I'm finding it quite ridiculous. It just sends me round in circles. I
have to say, I have a certain aversion to websites that muck me around like
this. It makes me wonder if they really care about poetry. Thanks for
trying for me, but I think this is not a site for me.
Cheers
Rory
