Can the system automatically remind me to make my picks?

When games happen on Thursdays we always get a few people that write to tell us how the dog ate their keyboard and they were unable to make their picks in time.   Of course we feel bad about this, because a keyboard can be an unhealthy snack for ever the largest of dogs.

Click this firstAt the start of the season we played with the idea of auto-reminders, but went with a group controlled process instead.  For this to work, you must edit your profile to allow either text or email to be sent to you.   Here's how you do that -- after you login you would click the Edit Profile icon from the control panel.

 

Then slide on down the screen and click yes to at least one of these two items. 

 There are 2 alerts you can select

 (If you click yes to text messages, put in whatever email address would hit your phone ... not just your cell number.)

Now *anyone* in your group can remind others in their group of early games.    All you need to do is click the link at the bottom of the Your Group Member screen.    (Of course in a highly competitive group, nobody would do this as missing your picks can only help the others.   However, in a perfect world... people will care about you and your picks. :) 

One click and all three would be reminded
