Newsletter Signup - How to set it up?

[PalmTalk]

I'm sure I'm missing something - and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I have moved the Newsletter SignUp block to my sidebar. It says something like it will not be visible until I set it up. I have added text to the "reply box," but apparently I need to set something else up somewhere.

Please Help.

There is nothing else to set up. But in order to see it, you need to log in with an account that is NOT currently a bulk mail subscriber. Otherwise it just won’t show.

Thanks - but I am really missing it then. I don't think I have anyone setup as a bulk mail subscriber - might that be it?

Once a month I am to be given a .pdf Newsletter by a site's owner. All I see in the Edit for the "Newsletter Signup" is a "text reply" box. I don't see any settings for having it sent to Users on a schedule. 

Is there a place to upload the .pdfs and then have it sent to the Subscribers when done so?

I don't see it as a Guest either.

The widget only controls who is or isn’t a subscriber. 

The newsletters are sent in the ACP under → Members → Bulk Mail.

Ok - thanks for quick reply. 

I thought there was some feature that would manage my Newsletters if I just uploaded them. 

Keep and display the old ones, and then automatically send a new one when uploaded. Something like that.

I guess I was dreaming. 😀

You cannot upload them. You would type them within Members->Bulk mail.
