Glad to hear your solved your problem, Greg. And I'm sorry you had trouble getting onto plone-users. FYI, subscription to plone-users is not moderated, but you do have to respond to an automated "confirm your subscription" message from the listbot. Perhaps that wound up in your spam filter?
In any case, thanks for posting your solution back so it can be found! Do take another stab at getting on plone-users, it's a tremendous resource. :jon On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 9:13 AM, Greg Delisle <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for your advice, Jon and Alan -- after more than a week of > waiting, I still haven't been admitted to the plone-users list by the > moderators.
