How to make a TAKEN or RECEIVED post

To send a TAKEN/RECEIVED message:

My.Freecycle was designed so that when a TAKEN message is sent to the board, the original OFFER is automatically removed from the board. This way, members can visit the site and quickly see what OFFERs and WANTEDs are open without having to search through the board for a TAKEN message. Members may also choose to view all posts, including Takens/Receiveds by clicking on "view all posts" at the bottom of the Posts page in your local group.

If you have an open OFFER or WANTED on the board, and need to mark it as TAKEN or RECEIVED:

Login to your local, on-site group, click on My Freecycle and then on "MyPosts". To the left you will see your open posts, with two options available for each post: Mark as TAKEN/RECEIVED or Remove from My Freecycle. Choose "Mark as Taken" (Or received if it is a Wanted). You will be brought to a new screen that has a default Taken message. You can edit this message if you choose. If you do not, simply click "Send Taken message". Your OFFER/WANTED will then be removed from the board. Those who choose to receive emails will also receive an email notification with your Taken message.
