2. Purchase Credits – To use the E-Mailer you will need to purchase credits. Each email sent is worth one credit (each credit is 1p). If you have credits available the total amount will be displayed here (You currently have 2000 credits). If you don't have any credits on your account you can purchase some by selecting the 'Click here to purchase more' link.

   If you have the sign up form displayed, visitors can submit their own details. They will automatically be sent an email asking them to confirm that they want to be added to the mailing list. They have 3 days to activate their subscription by clicking on a link contained in the email they are sent. This is called 'opt in confirmation' and helps prevent people receiving your mailings complaining that you are sending them unsolicited mail. These entries will be highlighted red in the 'Edit/Remove Contacts' area and after activation by the user, turn black indicating they are ready for use.
   
   If you don't want the sign up form displayed as part of your main menu un-tick the box. A link showing the name of the page, will appear 'Your Mailing List Join is located at: http://www.yourwebsite.uki.net/mailing_list.php'. You can use this link to access the sign up form whilst it is not linked from your main menu.
   
   
4. Name of Mailing List Section – Type the name into the text box. This will display on your menu button and as your page title on the sign up form.
