I have a new consultant trying to buy a subscription but the site is telling her that she her email address is banned and her aol account. I told her that I would post a question for her.

Thanks in advance!!;)
 
I had to set up a yahoo account because I, too, have AOL. It was inconvenient since I "live" on AOL and rarely check yahoo.

I think somehow chefsuccess was reported as spam....not sure?? I did send about 4 emails to Greg back when it first happened but no reponse. That was quite a few months ago. Maybe you will get an answer this time :)
 
I am trying to post a new thread, but I never see it come up as new posts. What am I doing wrong? I see my responses (like this one) but not my new questions. Help!
 
Have her set up a free forwarding account like pobox or bigfoot. That's what I did. I have AOL and I have it forwarded right to my AOL account, so I don't have to check anything. You can also do a search for "free email forwarding", too.
 
Yahoo will forward too won't it??
 
I will admit, I'm not too computer literate. I will look into it. But for now, I just want some non food trifle bowl ideas for a wedding shower. Could someone post that as a new thread? The shower is tomorrow!
 
Last I checked you had to pay a fee. Its been a while, so maybe they changed it, but I had yahoo for a while and cancelled it when they started to charge.

I paid a fee---is it a one time fee or an annual one? I have only paid once and it has been over a year ago.
