Hi Bruce,
There shouldn’t be a magic handshake really. I just
dropped the pics I posted today in my mail program (Mac Mail
on an iMac).
You can always upload them to the photos area of this group
and post a link to them. A bit more involved unfortunately.
Did you try to post from the web forum, or did you use a
mail program? If so, which one?

I'm looking for a
"magic bullet" just to SEE the attached photos. On
this site, all I've ever gotten was about 3 pages of
code "representing" a photo. Anyone know why
that is and what I can do about it? I feel SO LEFT OUT!
HA! (-: (Joking, but a legit question. Code is really
pretty boring. Looks nothing like Mellotron innards!)
Cheers!

Hi Vance,
Your message came through, and also in the Yahoo Group. It’s probably Yahoo’s servers acting up if you didn’t see it earlier. I see the same problem in another group I moderate.
Thanks for the link to groups.io. I’ll have a look at it, sounds interesting!

Not only will the essential functionality of the groups be gone for present and future use (including adding new members) starting this coming Monday, but all the files, photos, previous postings, history, etc. will be wiped away in less than 2 months.
I know that the mellotron group is very, very quiet these days, but I do recommend that we not lose some of the information that is stored on Yahoo's servers.
Please note that the alternative 'groups' site, https://groups.io/ , has a migration function for shifting the mellotron list from Yahoo over to their platform. (Also note that the groups on Groups.io to which I belong are now more active because the site and platform is easier to use...)
Thanks!!

PS - Read the groups.io origin story.... https://wingedpig.com/2014/09/23/introducing-groups-io/Hi Vance,Your message came through, and also in the Yahoo Group. It’s probably Yahoo’s servers acting up if you didn’t see it earlier. I see the same problem in another group I moderate.Thanks for the link to groups.io.
