I just started a folder in the egroup board. Now, how do I get the posts from PB and put them in the egroup folder. Could someone explain that to me, keeping in mind that I am not very computer saavy? Thanks.

Hi, Cass,
When you go into your eGroups folder, there are two hypertext buttons near the top, one that says "add link", and another that says "add folder."
If you want to get a PB link into your folder, I find it's easiest to open two windows in your browser (I use Netscape). So one window will have your eGroups links page on it, and the other one will have the Psychobabble page. Call up the Psychobabble thread that you want linked. Go to the top of that page once the post is showing in the window and copy the netsite address (http// blah, blah, blah...). then go to your eGroups links page and click on the button that says "add link." A window will open that has three boxes: a space for what you want to call the link, then a space for its address, then a space for a description. Fill in the top one with whatever you want to call it, then paste the address you copied from the PB posting into the second box. Add a description in the 3rd box if you want to elaborate more. then click on the gray button on the bottom that says "add link" and you're done.
Hope this helps. Lemme know how things go.
Allison

Hi Allison,
Your instructions were really clear, but I'm having a problem. When I copy the URL from the post I want to copy, I can't get it to paste into the egroups folder. I know how to use copy and paste. I usually don't have a problem with it. Next, I tried to just write the URL in the box myself. I then clicked "Add link", but the post did not show up in the folder. So I haven't had any success so far.

This sounds like a case for Dr. Bob...
Any ideas, Dr. B?

Weird, I thought I responded to this, but I guess not...
You did succeed in adding a link, but to the "top" level rather than your folder. Click on your folder first to "enter" it, then go through the Add Link business, and you'll be in business!
Thanks for helping with this project,
Bob
