MyProspectorLITE User Group
Oct. 23, 2006 | Wayne Hohler, MyProspectorLITE.com
When we started MyProspectorLITE last summer, we also began a MyProspectorLITE
User Group on Google Groups for mortgage professionals using our
system. If you are already a member of this user group, then you have
probably seen some of the announcements we've posted there in an
email from the group.
We started the MyProspectorLITE User Group for several reasons. We thought
it would be good to have a forum for us to communicate to everyone
about upcoming features in MyProspectorLITE and get feedback. More importantly,
we thought it would be a great way for originators to have ongoing discussions
about the mortgage industry and our software with other originators.
It is important to note that we do not want the Group to be a portal
for spamming messages to the members or for members to flame each
other, so
we made it a moderated user group. Anything that looks like spam
we try to catch and remove
before it ever gets posted. Anything else, we pretty much let go
through and get posted to the forum.

 Signing Up
If you are not already a member of the Group, you can subscribe by
using the Google Groups box at the bottom of just about every page
at MyProspectorLITE. Simply enter your email address and click the
"Subscribe" button.
 You
will be directed to page that tells you you are Almost There! This
page tells you that an email has been sent that you will need to reply
to to activate your account on the MyProspectorLITE Group. You will
not be able to post to the Group until you reply to the email.
This step is necessary to ensure that the users in the Group are who
they say they are and that the email addresses are valid to keep the
list clean.
When the email arrives, it will come from
no-reply@googlegroups.com and the Subject will be "Confirm
your subscription".
Click on the confirmation link provided in the email message. If the
link does not work for any reason, you can copy the link and past it
into the address bar of your browser.
 You
will be brought to a "Congratulations" page that tells you that you
can
now Join or Sign-In to the Group. You can begin posting as soon as
you sign in.
Creating A Password
Unfortunately you aren't done yet. The way Google Groups is set up
you will still need to create an account on Google groups and create
a password. When you get to the Congratulations page click the "Join"
link near the bottom of the text.
The "Join" link will bring you to the New Account page. If
the "Join"
link does not work or you are directed to a different page, you can
go directly to the New Account page using this URL: https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount.
Enter the same email address you used to subscribe to the MyProspectorLITE
User Group and create a password. You will need to enter your password
twice for confirmation. You will also need to complete any other required
form fields on the page.
 When
you have completed the form, click the "Create my Account" button at
the bottom of the form. Google Groups
will send you another email to verify your account. You will need to
click the
link in the new email message to activate your account. Once you have
confirmed your account, you are ready to Sign-In and start posting
to the MyProspectorLITE User Group.
Getting to the User Group
 The
easiest way to get to the MyProspectorLITE User Group is through the
"Browse Archives" link on the bottom of the MyProspectorLITE pages
in the Google Groups box. This link will take you directly to the MyProspectorLITE
User Group. You do not need to sign in unless you plan on
posting a message to the Group.
 To sign in use the link located on the upper left corner of the page,
under the Google Groups logo. Once you sign in you will be able to
start a new topic or reply to a topic that is already there. We only
moderate messages we believe to be spam or counter-productive to the
Group.
We invite all members of the MyProspectorLITE community to participate
in the Group forum. If you know anyone who has not signed up for MyProspectorLITE but
would like to join the forum, we have no problem with that. The forum
is open to everyone in the mortgage industry. And we would appreciate
if you let them know they can sign up for MyProspectorLITE anytime,
it's FREE!
