There are a lot of basic questions on Mail Art that are often asked and answered. This group might be the first place to look for answers. I will do my best to answer, but hope that other members can help out as well.
Allison, I think: if you look at the top of the page, there's 'My Page' i the menu. click on that, it'll take you to your personal page. Scroll down a little and there will be a section called 'Profile Information'. To the right of that, there is a little grey 'edit' box. Click on that and you can edit your address details. I'll post this on your comments wall too.
Melanie Reed--- on the photo page of your home page, choose (click on) the photo you wish to delete. On the upper right hand side there will be a button that says "options" (it also has a pic of a couple gears) there are three choices in the drop down menu: edit details, add tags, delete .
I received some nice Mail Art from Russell Manning in Dallas, but it didn't have any personal message with it. I looked him up in the IUOMA artists' profiles and he doesn't seem to be there. I'm wondering how he got my name and address. Does anyone know him?
I only send to mail artists who have a postal address on their page. I don’t send electronic mail to request an address. it’s the way I’ve been doing it for years.
got this envelope approx 14 Aug 21 and am not sure who it came from... MY decryption of the return addresses has me responding to Chuck Welch but I see it could also be Nick Johnson. Can anyone out there help me?
21.08.21 Dare Ms. Coco Muchmore, ...If one is in the game-- then, "posting a comment" is the same as "tagging someone". Of course, sometimes one feels the need to tag someone twice in order to declare that they are in fact "it." I think Mister de Culla is saying something somewhat similar. SinCelery, Richard Canard
I am frustratec. I have added many photos to my groups. I have spent an hour today and can't remember how to do it. I go to the icon above for photos but I can't get to photos on my fire tablet. I can get to camera but when I take a picture I can't attach it.
I saw a mail art call recently that was something like "Words and Images, Images and Words" but I lost track of the address. Anyone know anything about that call?
I got this 26 August and was preparing to respond but do not know who sent it. Valdor? It appears to be a response to a submission of mine but I am not able to recall one.
in response to the question on how to post a picture to a group I've done it here. put cursor inside the message window and then click on the icon for 'add image'.
I saw something here (in IUOMA) about "Train Art mail" and would like some information about it. Unfortunately, I can't find my way back to where I saw it to begin with!
Wow, I totally missed that mail art call so thanks for posting the link to the book by Paulo Teles, William M. That is just wonderful. I love how he created that book.
If you think they may be on IUOMA, go to the 'Mail Artists Profiles' tab at the top of this page, choose 'Overview All Members' then 'Advanced Search' and select Romania. There are 33 on the list to choose from.
Dame Mailarta, Dorian passed away on November 26, 2021.

Sharon, I was confused by this too at first. But you can just send mail.
The advantage of the friend thing is you can send messages privately.
