Hello Jen, I've pasted a recent message below which gives instructions
on how to change what you want. Did you give these things a try? If you
still can't make the change, write me privately and I'll change it for
you. The message follows.

Hello Jana and others, just so you know, Esther recently posted a
message on how to do this. I've pasted her message below. For anyone who
is reading this, please save this message even if you don't think you
will ever use it. That way when you do need it even though you weren't
sure, you will have it, <smile>. The nice thing is this method works for
all Google Groups.

I'm pasting in the reply I gave Teresa three months ago about how to
change all membership options, including your mail preferences,
nickname, and the email address you want to use for receiving list
subscriptions for all mailing lists that you subscribe to via Google
Groups. This and related questions have come up frequently enough of
late to warrant a full post, but I personally use the search facility of
the Mail Archive site to find these and other answers, including my own
previous posts. I'm cc'ing this post to the viphone list, since it has
the information on changing email subscription options, too.
The mail-archive page for groups that are archived there is simply the
posting address appended to the "www.mail-archive.com" address, so for
macvisionaries the URL is:
http://mail-archve.com/macvisionar...@googlegroups.com
and for the viphone list the URL is:
http://mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com
I also use these web pages to read the list contents if I am traveling.
If I am using an iOS device, I can type my search term in to the text
box and press enter to find results, and then copy the URL of the
relevant post to an email reply. If I am at my computer, I can read up
and down the threads with access key combinations (Control-n for next
message and Control-p for previous message in Safari on a Mac; for other
browsers and platforms substitute the appropriate access key prefix --
such as Alt-n and Alt-p for Internet Explorer, or I think it is
Alt-Shift-n and Alt-Shift-p for Firefox, etc.)
Instructions on changing membership options follow:

Hi Teresa,
You can find a single page listing of all the Google Groups you belong
to using the URL:
http://groups.google.com/groups/mysubs?hl=en_US&pli=1
This page has the entries for "Manage My Memberships". There's a link
to "My Google Account" that will let you change your email address,
password, or nickname. Continue to navigate through the page to find
your entries, which are form controls, for each one of the Google Groups
you subscribe to, with your nickname, and pop up menus for your email
address and subscription type. Here you can change your subscription
options, for example, to "No email", "Digest email", "Abridged email",
or "Unsubscribe". For some of the other options, you have to use the
"My Google Account" link. The pop up menu for changing your email to an
alternate email address on this page only works if those alternate email
addresses are available from your main "My Google Account" settings --
you can't type in a new option directly on this page for managing your
settings if you're entering completely new information for your account.
But you can visit this page to turn off email temporarily while you're
away on vacation, or opt for the digest format. And if you want to
shift the list subscription email to a different email, you can visit
the "My Google Account" link, make the changes and add other valid email
addresses, and then come back to this page and set the pop up menu for
that address.
If you are not logged into your Google Groups account, when you try to
use the URL link for managing your membership settings, you'll be
prompted to log in with your email address and password. The email
address you type in here is the email address you used when you created
your Google Groups account. It does not have to be a gmail address, and
it may not be your current email address. The current email that you
want to use by default is one of the account settings that you can
change in this process, if you use the "My Google Account" link on the
page for managing your membership settings.
To log out from your Google account, you need to navigate to the menu
pop up link that has your name. (This is in the old Google Groups page
layout, so it might be different for you.) You could use item chooser
menu (VO-I) and type in your name (e.g., "Teresa"), then navigate to the
first match in the menu and press return, which will be the menu pop up
link in question. Then VO-Space or else simultaneously press the up and
down arrow keys if using Quick Nav mode to activate the link. The
navigate to "sign out" and activate that option with VO-Space, etc.
Alternatively, you can set your rotor to links, and use your arrow keys
to navigate through your links menu entries. On the old Google Groups
layout I see links for "Mail", "Calendar", "Documents", "Photos",
"Sites", "Groups", "Search", "More", and then my name, and "Options",
followed by a link for "Switch to the new Google Groups". That menu pop
up link for "Options" is what shows up as the "gear menu" in the Google
Groups help descriptions.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi,
I am trying to change my delivery status of this group to read from the
web while I’m away.
I use my address of jen.col...@shaw.ca <mailto:jen.col...@shaw.ca> as my
address for my email to come in.
I recently created a google account to access youtube.
When I signed up for the group originally I am unsure what I used to
create a google groups account.
Now that I have a new sign in, it says that my membership to this group
is pending.
All I want to do is change how my email gets delivered to me and don’t
want to create another membership but rather continue to use my current
email address I’ve been using for the group.
How do I fix this mess?
Sorry just frustrated.
Jen
