[Lexicog] If you are unable to access our list website features

[List Facilitator]

> An off-list message from a list member has prompted me to check out an
issue
> some of you will experience if you try to access any of the features of
our
> list website, such as Links, Files, Messages, etc. Apparently Yahoo
requires
> that you have filled out a Profile on yourself before you can access the
> list website features. You can receive messages from the list and post to
> the list without a Profile.
>
> To create Yahoo Profile for yourself go to the list website (address at
the
> bottom of this message). If you do not have a Profile yet, you will be
asked
> for your Yahoo ID and password. If you do not yet have a Yahoo ID or
> password, or if you have forgotten either, click on the link labeled
> "Sign-in help" below the Sign In button and follow the instructions on the
> next page you get.
>
> Ultimately, you should get to a place on Yahoo where you can create a
> Profile for yourself. I'm not clear on this process myself since I already
> had a Yahoo ID, so maybe some of you who have gone through this process
> recently can inform the rest of the list how to create a Profile.

> Many of us want to keep information about ourselves to a minimum on the
> Internet, for security or to reduce the amount of spam email we receive.
On
> your profile it is not necessary to put much information about yourself.
You
> can even put in some pen name information, if you wish. I know that it is
> not necessary to state your gender (besides, in some languages there are
> more gender options than Male and Female, right?!!). I think it is
necessary
> to fill in only one of the Profile blanks and that can be of a pen name
> (anonymous) nature. Click the Finish button or whatever button it is that
> tells Yahoo you are finished. Then you should get a message saying that
you
> can now access all the list website features.
>
> If all this is quite confusing for you, let us know, preferably on-list so
> that whatever is learned can help others.
