That did not work - I could not locate those tabs on my group page - I think that is more something for you as the administrator's page. On Ning I did see further down how to send a message to a group.
One of my group did reply finally - she said that the messages are going to their personal email. I, myself don't read email from just anyone. Is there anyway we can get those group messages to appear on this website.
Hi Catherine, I have left SEVERAL messages to my group (Texas Moms) since joining N4M's. I was not getting any response or comments - so this time I asked one in a personal comment if she was receiving my comments - and she said NO!!!! Even though I get a message saying that my message has been sent to the group.
Is there any way you can check into this???
Thanks,
Brenda
I had 283 emails when we went on vacation a week ago...my husband truly HATES this site!!! Yes, all of our family is still in MI, we were there in June and will be back sometime soon but right now I'm heading to Cal. on business, Gulfport next week to see my nephew at A school and GL on 4/25...busy month!
Smart move Catherine, I know it can be a great money making machine! Can I order my sweatshirt now?!! If I set it up for the Navy, do you think they could advance my son from boot camp to Admiral?!! LOL!
What part of Michigan are you from? That's my home girl...Livonia. But we live in sweet Atlanta now...enough of that snow and ice!
FYI...heading to California tomorrow for the rest of the week...just in case you wondering where is all the traffic this week! I'll be out of the loop until Friday pm.
Hi Catherine, you may have read that I am organizing a dinner for the 4/25 graduation families and I think it is going to be a pretty strong turnout. So now, I'm thinking that I will be making name tags and even trying to organize the tables by divisions - maybe ambitous but everyone has been so supportive and I just know we are going to love to connect the names with the faces.
Don't know what side of the country you are on...but you are welcome to join us!!!
My thinking is - NavyforMoms.com could become a profit center! It would be wonderful if we have sweatshirts, tshirts, decals, etc. with the NavyforMom logo on them. I think every family would order one! I know you can order items like this on line and at the exchange but it would be really cool to have one from "our club". Just a thought :-)
Hi I'm just a little confused about the "add a friend" page or link thingy. I don't understand "adding a friend requests??"
What is that?
and when I receive a request for "someone wants to add you as a friend, view here" do I just go to that page, or must I do something else?
Thanks so much...love, love this site...its been the best support!

Thanks-the actual error is "error on page" message in the bottom left corner, I adjusted my browser several times previously just to be able to "personalize" my page which helped but not upload of photos.
Thxs.
Yes, thanks Catherine. I'm going to take it off until I have rebuilt it. Long story. Hired a guy and he put our domain in his name and fought to get it back, now I have to rebuild with different program with a new hosting company, and I'm not that good with website building - but I did all the text and photos myself.
Dearest Moms: The family and I are taking a mini-vacation this weekend! I will be back on Sunday evening to answer questions and approve photos. If you have a chance, please talk to the new moms that join. :) Don't break anything. (ha, ha) Sincerley, Catherine
