   I’m becoming a FlyBaby again after a year or so away from the other email group. I’d grown weary of the emails and reminders with the old group, and this one sounds like it will be so much better, just what I’m looking for. Thanks so much for setting this up for all of us that struggle with this sort of thing, I’m really looking forward to jumping back on board and getting my home and my life in order and out of CHAOS.

   Thanks,

   Unable to join this group from my BlackBerry and Bolt Browser. Love, FLYlady, it’s a great program, but guess I can’t get the messages. Very disappointed with the move, Yahoo Groups is much easier to use and I can do it on my BlackBerry.

   Hi Trina,

   This is Mia at BigTent. On behalf of our team, I apologize that you are not able to access the new FlyLady group through your Blackberry browser.

   Our team will be working in the future to make BigTent more compatible with more handheld devices.

   In the meantime, you will still be able to receive FlyLady emails like you did on Yahoo!, with choices to receive a daily digest or individual emails.

   Please let us know if you have any other questions or feedback. We appreciate your thoughts and look forward to continuing to improve our site.

   Best,

   Mia @ BigTent

   If the email invitation happened to get deleted *whistles innocently*, what should we do?
5. 5 BigTent September 17, 2009 at 8:14 am

   Hi Michelle,

   It’s not a problem if somehow your email invitation was deleted .

   You can just visit the FlyLady public page (https://www.bigtent.com/groups/flylady) and click the “resend an existing invitation link” which is located in the right-hand column, under the submit button. A new invitation will sent right out to you.

   I am happy with the new group it seems to be better , because I don’t have to have a yahoo e-mail account and all. I just joined , but I haven’t received any e-mail from flylady yet , is that normal? Maybe it’s because of my subscription to a daily digest?
   If you know why , please let me know , I am excited to start the program and start FLYing.
7. 7 Helen September 17, 2009 at 9:22 am

   I have received nothing from Bigtent as of 12:00 PM CST on Thursday. I have nothing from Yahoo today either. I’ve checked spam; nothing. Should I have received something by now?
8. 8 LadyB September 17, 2009 at 2:15 pm

   ok invitation didn’t have a link ( clickable one ) and I can;t remember my password to login. Now what ?
9. 9 BigTent September 18, 2009 at 1:12 pm

   Hi LadyB,

   Just looked up your email in our system and sent you another invitation reminder to join FlyLady on BigTent. The email has a subject line, “REMINDER Welcome to FlyLady”. Please click on the link in the email and follow the steps to activate your BigTent account. You’ll then be able to log in and check out FlyLady on BigTent.

   Hope that helps,

   Mia

    Hi again LadyB,

    Also, if the link that shows up is not clickable for some reason, please copy and paste it into your browser. You’ll have a BigTent password after you follow this step and use the link to activate your account.

    Sorry for any inconvenience and hope to see you on BigTent soon.

    Hi Mel, Helen,

    Since you activated your BigTent accounts for FlyLady so quickly (woohoo!), you may have joined the new BigTent group before they started sending emails through it.

    FlyLady has sent a few emails now and you should now be getting messages.

    Best,

    Mia @ BigTent

    I, too, don’t seem to have received an invitation to join at BigTent — and would really like to! The site looks great.

    Hi ,I tried twice to join under BigTent but I got two messages saying my URL wasn’t working so I assume I am not joined. What does that mean,

    Hi Leslee,

    I just sent you an invitation reminder to activate your BigTent account and start accessing FlyLady on BigTent. Look for an email with the subject line, “REMINDER Welcome to FlyLady,” and be sure to add the email address to your email “safe list.”

    Hope this helps,

    uhmm..nevermind…made a mistake
18. 18 Carolyn September 22, 2009 at 6:42 am

    HI -

    As of last night I stopped getting emails from the old site & I never got the invite to your big tent group. Can you resend it to me… thanks!

    also checked junk mail, wasn’t there.
19. 19 Cheri September 22, 2009 at 6:25 pm

    I actually ‘unjoined’ big tent for Flylady, as the emails I had received were not clearly formatted with paragraphs and everything was all crammed together making it very hard to read.

    At least with Yahoo, there were paragraph formattings allowed so that you knew when a paragraph ended and a new one began.

    When I ‘unjoined’ I was given a message that this was an irreversible option. You might want to verify that your email writing can actually be formatted and have bigger fonts so people with bad vision can easily read them.
20. 20 KimberlyB September 22, 2009 at 6:30 pm

    Loving Big Tent! Much better than Yahoo! Much more colorful! Can’t wait to see what’s next! Kudos for having the courage to change!!!
21. 21 BigTent September 23, 2009 at 1:08 pm

    Hi Carolyn,

    I just checked our system, and it looks like you successfully joined FlyLady on BigTent. You were also sent several emails yesterday. Have you checked your spam folder and added “no_reply@lists.bigtent.com” to your email safe list?

    Let us know if you have any other questions. Glad to have you on BigTent!

    Best,

    Mia @ BigTent
22. 22 BigTent September 23, 2009 at 1:17 pm

    Hi Cheri,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with our team. We are looking for ways to increase the font size in our emails and make them easier to read. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Should you find yourself interested in rejoining FlyLady, please go here and fill out the form: https://www.bigtent.com/groups/flylady

    You can also read her messages on BigTent, and it’s possible to increase our font size in your browser by pressing Ctrl and + on your keyboard (on a PC).

23. 23 Valerie September 24, 2009 at 4:43 am

    Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I love the look of the site, but I have not received any Fly Lady email. I have “no_reply@lists.bigtent.com” listed in my safe list. I miss my emails!! Please help!
24. 24 AC September 24, 2009 at 8:13 am

    I was initially quite pleased that we could continue receiving our emails from Flylady and Saving Dinner without joining Big Tent as I have no desire to join yet another website. I really, really didn’t want to join Big Tent. Yahoo was so convenient as it was right on my toolbar with the rest of my groups – everything all together (no I don’t want another toolbar)

    However, I was very upset that in order to change my email address for those mails I had no choice but to join anyway. It even made me consider cancelling completely.

    In the end, I ended up having to join anyway, since some of my mails went to one, and some to the other (My address was changed during the transition). I had to join with one address, and then cancel the membership of the other one as I couldn’t just change one to the other as it said it was taken (because half my mail was going to each). Very frustrating.

    When everything was in Yahoo, all I had to do was change my Yahoo address, and voila! This time, that only worked for half the mail.

    Oh well, it is just very aggravating to have to join a new website just because I changed my email address back to the original one I was using when I first joined …
25. 25 BigTent September 25, 2009 at 12:30 am

    Hi Valerie,

    System records show that you received three emails from BigTent this morning, a few hours after you left this comment.

    If you are still experiencing issues with email, please let us know.

    Best,

    Mia @ BigTent
26. 26 BigTent September 25, 2009 at 12:33 am

    Hi AC,

    Sorry for any inconvenience the transition to BigTent has caused. To help change your email address, please open up a support case and tell us what your other email address is: http://www.bigtent.com/help (Click “Submit a support case”).

    We can remove the conflicting account from our records, and then you’ll be able to update your email address for your BigTent account.

    Hope this helps,

27. 27 Melanie September 25, 2009 at 9:39 am

    Hello!
    I signed up for BigTent on Thursday, Sept. 17th. I recieved my first content email on Friday, the 18th, but I have not received another one since then. I thought that they were supposed to start coming daily. Did I misunderstand or do I have a problem?!! (I did put BigTent on my safe senders list.)
    Thanks,
    Melanie
28. 28 BigTent September 25, 2009 at 10:00 am

    Hi Melanie,

    Thanks for contacting BigTent. I checked your account, and it looks like we turned off email delivery to your address because messages were bouncing.

    The best way to remedy that is to change your email address to something else that isn’t bouncing (we recommend Gmail). If you are getting other emails but not FlyLady messages, you may want to check with the person managing your email domain. It’s possible that BigTent emails got blocked, and a system administrator on your end would need to put us back on the whitelist.

    Sorry for any inconvenience. Hope you can get messages from us again soon.

    Best,

    Mia @ BigTent

    Hi Darlyne,

    Thanks for contacting BigTent. I checked our system records – looks like you do not have a FlyLady account on BigTent.

    To join her group, please fill out the form on her new group page: https://www.bigtent.com/groups/flylady

    After you fill out the form, you will receive an email with a link to continue signing up on BigTent. Please add no_reply@lists.bigtent.com to your email safe list to ensure delivery of this and other messages.

    Hope this helps. For additional technical support, please visit our help center and submit a case if needed: http://www.bigtent.com/help

    I guess I am confused. Actually know I am confused. What is the purpose of Big Tent site if we are still getting emails at yahoo?
34. 34 BigTent September 30, 2009 at 8:22 am

    Hi Deborah,

    The official announcement has been posted on FlyLady’s Yahoo! Group that the group is officially closed and moved over to BigTent. You should only receive group emails from BigTent at this point.

    If this is not the case, please let us know.

    Thanks,

39. 39 Camilla October 4, 2009 at 2:40 am

    Hi!

    I love this idea, and I joined last week! I am getting mail – such as flightplans testimonials etc. I thought however that I was supposed to get some welcome messages, and some babysteps to start with, but maybe I got ot wrong…? Or did I make some mistake when joining? I am a bit overwhelmed, and don’t really know where to start FLYing =)
40. 40 BigTent October 4, 2009 at 10:06 pm

    Hi Deborah,

    Can you forward a copy of the FlyLady email you’re still getting from Yahoo? Please send it to support@bigtent.com. I am not part of the FlyLady community on Yahoo so it is hard for me to diagnose what is going on with your account.

    I have heard that the FlyLady team is considering creating forums on BigTent, but I don’t have any details on when they’ll make this change.

When I’m on the login page and enter my email address and temp password, I click submit, and get returned right back to the login page. Not sure what it happening. Help:)

43. 43 BigTent October 5, 2009 at 8:19 am

    Hi Camilla,

    FlyLady doesn’t send out specific babysteps to new members. Our recommendation is to read the weekly flight plans and jump in wherever you can. Just doing part of a flight plan or learning something from a testimonial counts as a babystep!

    Hope that helps. If you feel like you are getting too much email, you may also want to log in and change your email settings to get a daily digest of news messages. You can learn how to make this change here by reading this help article.

    I’ve been getting Flylady’s e-mails for many years. I got a few e-mails from BigTent when the change over happened but they have been few and far between and I’ve not been receiving any posts such as testimonials at all. My e-mail accounts are working fine, nothing is being filtered into ‘junk’. What must I do now to get e-mails back to normal?
52. 52 Sheri October 14, 2009 at 9:02 am

    I’ve joined BigTent, first with the NoExcusesWorkout…but how do I add the flylady site to my group? I’m already a member of both, an receive the emails without problems. I deleted my “invitation” back in September, not thinking I’d need it!
53. 53 BigTent October 15, 2009 at 10:28 am

    Hi Sara,

    I just checked our system records – your email notifications for FlyLady are set to “Web Only.” Please log in and change your settings on this page to resume receiving FlyLady emails: https://www.bigtent.com/home/settings/notification/news

    Hope that helps!

54. 54 BigTent October 15, 2009 at 10:55 am

    Hi Sheri,

    I just checked our system – looks like you still have an open invitation to FlyLady. You can get to it in two ways:

    1. Log in and check for an enrollment task in the box where it says, “Good Morning, Sheri!”. Click the enrollments link and you’ll go through the quick steps to activate your FlyLady membership on BigTent.

    or

    2. Visit https://www.bigtent.com/groups/flylady. Click the “Not a member yet? Sign up” button. Then click the “Resend invitation” link. You’ll be able to enter your email address and get a new email to join FlyLady.

    Hope that helps! More technical support can be found in our help area: https://www.bigtent.com/help

    Hi Deborah,

    I’m not a member of MSP so I’m not super familiar with how their group is set up. However, it looks like there’s a lot of photos in the group “photos” area. Have you checked there?

    Sorry I don’t have more information.
