[pianotech] Hmmm?

[Joseph Garrett]

Thanks David,
I've encounter some of that already. The more I use  the New System, the more I hate it! Grrrr!
Regards,
Joe

Joe:
 
If you are posting a new message you have to go into the website my.ptg.org to do it from there.   Go to Discussions and in the drop down menu click on Post a Message.  
 
For the moment, however, with the old list system still in place you can simply post to pianotech at ptg.org like you used to.  The only thing is that people who are no longer using the old list system (those who have unsubscribed and are only subscribed to the my.ptg.org list) will not see that posting.  Similarly, if someone is only subscribed to the old list and not the new one, then a posting from my.ptg.org will not reach the old list.  For those still subscribed to both lists, they will see it no matter which way you post it.   For the time being it makes sense to remain subscribed to both lists if you want to see postings from both.  
 
If you are responding to a message that was sent from the website and that you received in plain text format (you can select that option in the notifications settings link which is accessible from the Home Page—not from the My Profile page as you might logically expect) then you have to scroll to the bottom of the message and click on the link to either respond to the sender (if you only want it to go to the person who sent the message) or to the discussion which will take you to the specific discussion from where it emanated on the website where you will respond in the website format.
 
As many have suggested, the better option when responding to a plain text emanation from the website is to hit reply on your own email system which will give you your normal email formatting.  Type your message where you can more easily edit it (the new site format is not nearly as good as most email programs).  When you are done copy the text and then go to the bottom and click on the link to take you to respond to sender or discussion as you choose.  When you get to the website where the reply will be posted then just paste it into the reply box and hit send.

Enclosed is an email I've tried to send several times. Have a feeling I'm being censored.

Subject: Responding to email queries via The New System
Whoa!!! I just responded to an email querie. Has to be the slowest thing on the internet! I could have responded quicker with a 4 year old and a box of crayons and delivered it by way of the trade winds via a paper airplane! Total FUBAR! Oh, that's lovely! I just tried to send it to my.ptg.org and the damned thing is said to be "not a valid email address"! Gawd, I'm having fun.....NOT
