I want to add a link to the welcome message. First I created a custom page “Emails To The Class” to post emails I sent to the class. I would like to inform new members to go and read old emails since they would not have received them. Anyway would the following be correct; To get caught up with what you missed visit the $Emails_To_The_Class$. Also is there any way to test the welcome message without creating a new member and signing up as them.

No, $Emails_To_The_Class$ wouldn't work because this isn't a system variable. What you would want to do is right-click on your custom link on the left-side menus. Choose "Copy Link Location" (depending upon which browser you are using, the option might be different). Then paste the link in your welcome e-mail. It is probably best to create a new user to test the e-mail. That way, you can see exactly what will be in the e-mail. Kyle

You could try using the HTML Link code like this: Then you would have to test it again. Also, I am not sure how different e-mail programs would deal with the HTML code.

Thanks again, I will try this but I think it will be unsightly for people that don’t read email in html format. Maybe I can resolve this another way.

I wouldn't worry about those not viewing the e-mail in HTML. Your "Email the Class" that you sent out already has a link to your "We Need Your Help!" page, which is a HTML link code.
