Problems Sending An Important Message To My Membership.

I'm administrator of the "Wizards of Watercolor". I'm trying to set up a contest, but every time I get a message together I get the message from FAA "oops, you are only allowed 5 members to be recipients. More than that could cause you to be ejected from FAA for voilating the SPAM regulations" (May not be the exact wordage but the 5 members is there). I have tried several times. Can somebody "walk me through" how to reach your membership?
Thanks, Gerald Bienvenu

Isabella. Same thing happened again. The whole groups photos are in the recipiants place, but I get the same "OOPS" message that I got before. Would you please walk me through it. step by step. Thanks, Gerald Bienvenu

Hmmm logging out works normally.

Silly question...what browser are you using?

I'm using Bing.

Bing isn't your browser...Internet explorer or Mozilla or Chrome - those would be a browser.

Gerald, can you be more specific on how you are preparing your message- are you doing an email or creating a contest with a description etc.?

If you're doing an email are you selecting group as the recipients?

Fran. I'm a dummy when it comes to the internet. I know just enough to get in trouble. I have tried everything she said, logging out. Logging in. Starting over. Still get the OOPS message about violating the SPAM code they have. The browser is Internet Explorer.

Yep. I enter group in the first square. Then "Wizards of Watercolor" comes up on the screen and I click on it. Then the visuals and names comes up and asks if I want to select all of them, I click yes, and their pictures then appear in the colored square. Then I click on the blue arrow. And I get OOPS.

I don't know what to do. Their directions are very clear. I appear to be doing the right thing. The visuals all make sense.
But then at the very end it all falls apart.

At this moment, I'm trying to see how to work their email. I'm just writing my membership to tell them I'm planning a show to get them thinking. Then if one of them has an idea they can discuss it with me. I don't figure to get anything started until just before Thanksgiving.

So, you're here http://fineartamerica.com/groups/the-wizards-of-watercolor.html?tab=members and then go to send message to all members?

Don't worry, we will get it sorted :)

Abbie. Thanks so very much for helping me out. I feel very stupid that I had never gone to the "contest" section. It would have been much simpler than the way I selected.
I knew you could help me out. I'll try not to bother you too much whenever I have a quection about my FAA activities. I enjoy being a member, and I'm sure I will begin to sell more once I figure out how everything is supposed to work. Jerry Bienvenu
