If you
are subscribed to a Lyris™
Mailing list you can interact with that list
through a web interface. You can access the
discussion forum interface by going to the
server's main discussion forum URL.
Examples:
http://cts.dundee.net/read/?forum=listname
or
http://cts.dundee.net/read/
Depending on the
forum you are subscribed too the forum may
require that you log in to view messages. Other
forums may require that you log in to post a
message to the forum. If this is the case, you
will be prompted to provide your email address
and password. Clicking on "My Account" in the
left navigation menu will take you to the login
screen.
Once logged in
any lists you are subscribed too will be listed
under "Name" with a description of the
list next to it.
To view and
browse the different sections, click one of the
buttons in the left navigation bar.

Clicking on the Messages tab allows you to see
an overview of the messages for the current
forum. From there, you may read messages, reply
to messages, or create a new message.
Search: Search the message archives for
the current forum. Whether or not a forum is
searchable depends on the settings for that
forum.
My Account: On the My Account page, you
can change your members settings. On the
Essentials tab, you can change your email
address, name or language. On the Advanced tab,
you can also change your password and specify

you all the forums for the site you logged into,
or for the default site if you did not specify a
particular forum when you accessed the
discussion forum interface.
