TIPSters, As I had indicated in a previous message, the computer and software that runs TIPS is going to quit running soon. The university has recently purchased some new software (LYRIS) and has been testing it. It is a major improvement from what we have been using and will allow you to view TIPS mail in 3 different ways: 1. Receive TIPS mail as an email message - same as you do now including DIGEST and other options 2. View TIPS mail on a website instead of receiving it 3. View TIPS as a newsreader instead of receiving it My hope is that many of the people that have left TIPS over the years because it generated too much mail may consider rejoining us by using one of the last 2 options. In any case, I am just starting to play with the software and I would like to invite each of you to help test it. We have created a test listserver called TIPSTEST for you to subscribe, unsubcribe, view website, newsreader, change your options, etc. and give me feedback and what seems to work well and what doesn't. If you are interested in helping test the new software that will be used for TIPS (probably by the end of August), instructions are below. The software allows you to do many things (e.g., subscribe, unsubscribe) by either email, website, etc. However, to keep it simple I am only providing the basics below and encourage you to try out all the options you find from whatever format you are using. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ TO SUBSCRIBE BY EMAIL SEND A BLANK MESSAGE TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE BY EMAIL SEND A BLANK MESSAGE TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO SEND EMAIL USE THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO CHANGE MEMBER TYPE: Send messages to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] With messages as follows: set tipstest Nomail set tipstest Mail set tipstest Digest set tipstest MIME Digest set tipstest Index review tipstest help WEB ADDRESS - TRY EITHER http://acsun.frostburg.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl http://acsun.frostburg.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=tipstest&text_mode=0&lang=english NEWSGROUP - TRY news://acsun.frostburg.edu/tipstest TO SEND THE LISTOWNER EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***************************** Bill Southerly, PhD Department of Psychology Frostburg State University Frostburg, MD 21532 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (301)-687-4778 *****************************
