Subject: Fwd: Important Yahoo! Groups Service Changes

From: Steve Greenfield <alienrelics@...>
Date: 2003-08-01

Note: Important changes. For those of you on lists that allow
attachments, your lazy days of attaching files rather that
uploading them to the files area will no longer work to store
files. ;') Yahoo will delete them as of Aug 7th and from then on
attached messages will not be stored at all in the archives.

Please see other changes below.

I note that some of you send replies with the quoted portion
attached rather than inline, some even send your whole message
attached. These will disappear, too.

Steve, moderator on some of the lists seeing this and glad I've
never allowed attachments.

Dear Yahoo! Groups Moderator,

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
You are receiving this notice because you are a moderator of one or
more groups. As part of our efforts to ensure that all Yahoo!
Groups users enjoy the same high-quality service, we will implement
the following service changes on Aug. 7, 2003:

- Message Attachments: Yahoo! Groups will continue to deliver all
attachments sent via email, however, the attachments will no longer
be archived within the Messages area. You may continue to upload
files and images to the Files and Photos areas of your groups.
Please re-upload any attachments you would like to preserve to the
Photos or Files areas of your group. On Aug. 7, all attachments in
the Messages area will be removed, and Yahoo! will be unable to
retrieve such data.

- Add Members: The "Add Members" feature will now allow you to add
10 new members per day (e.g., the ability to directly add your
friends and family to your group). You may still use the "Invite
Members" feature to invite others to join your group.

- Files and Photos: Groups web membership will be required to
access a group's Files and Photos areas.

Thank you for your support as we make these changes that will allow
us to continue offering a compelling, high quality, free service.

For more details on the service changes described above, please
visit our help section http://help.yahoo.com/groups/groups-56.html.
Please do not reply to this message via email, as responses will
not be read.



Sincerely,

The Yahoo! Groups Team
