posting an OFFER and wish to include a photo there will be a new box open at
the bottom of the message maker. Use the "Browse" button to choose the photo
from your computer that you want to upload. (For your safety, you are asked to
not include your telephone number, email address or home address.. Your email
is protected, and only your username is displayed. This prevents phishing and
your being targeted for spam. If you include your phone number or address, you
do so at your own risk.) Click on "Make the post."
HOW TO READ AND REPLY TO OFFER AND WANTED POSTS:
Log into My Freecycle and click on "View the Posts." ADMINs are posted at the

your original message will "automatically" be removed. If you have posted an
item by mistake, you can delete it using the same process. Click on either "
Cancel and Remove." Please do not remove the post until the item has actually
been picked up to avoid having to re-post. You can also log in and go to
http://my.freecycle.org/home/posts
HOW TO ORGANIZE THE E-MAILS YOU'RE GETTING:
Your group has a default setting for email delivery. When you join the group,
your account will automatically be set for that preference. For example, if the
group default is set to receive individual emails, you will begin receiving
copies of every post made in your email.
You can reset your personal email delivery preferences by signing in to
my.freecycle.org and then click on "Change settings." There is an Email
preference section with a dropdown box. In the drop down list, select your
email delivery option. Then click on the green button, "Change email
preference."
Please note, if you choose to receive no emails, you will still receive
ADMINs/special notices from the moderators.
How TO REACH THE MODERATOR:
If you have a question, problem or complaint, click on "Contact the ModTeam" at
the top of the messages page. A message box will open. Type in your message and
click on "Send messsage."
