I'd like to encourage everyone to join our group in Aimoo as soon as possible. I realize the group might not be fully active for a couple more weeks but its easiest if you join now. I currently have the group available to the public, where everyone can view the group and everyone can post without membership. That will change very shortly and we will go private. Once we go private, you will have to go through the application process to get in to Sidebar. I don't want any of our current members to have to do that. I'm not advertising our group yet, so we won't be getting any newbies during this time... or at least its unlikely. Those who know the link and have it can get in while its easy.
Some groups in MSN have already closed, or at least, malfunctioned to the point that they are gone. MSN is no longer doing any maintenance on groups and as you might have already experienced, we are frequently getting that "Hmmmm Can't Find That Page" screen... so I feel we're at high risk for losing Sidebar prematurely.
I KNOW it will take some getting used to for a lot of you and I will work with you as much as I can. If you have ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL OR COMPLAINTS (such as Paul's problem with the screen width), I can probably help work it out. I promise, it will take a couple of days for you to get familiar with the functions, but we have every single option there that we have here, and much much more.
Here is our group link once again...
ALSO.. YOU WILL NEED TO BE A REGISTERED AIMOO USER (similar to MSN Passports) to access all the functions of Aimoo.
