Re: Need help with a Yahoo Groups issue

[Guest guest]

It sounds to me like you might have a separate Yahoo account set up

(somehow) that is tied to the Windows Live account and only the two

groups in question are subscribed through that Yahoo identity. Try

logging in using that email address and if you can't figure out the

password, use the " forgot my password " link and get a new one. If

that's not it, I'm stumped. Sometimes Yahoo gets things messed up. But

because they remain free of cost to users, we live with the problems.

There are also Yahoo help forums that you can seek help from.

few months, since I was hacked and had to change my password and things, now

Yahoo has been somehow thinking I want my group mail to go into two different

mail boxes. Certain groups have gotten extremely busy lately and so I have taken

some measures.

The result is, I do not have access anymore to that group. My " membership " is

ended, but I still get their individual emails every day in my windows live

account and I can reply to any of those posts. So Yahoo cancelled my

subscription in the one selected account in my membership. (My Frontier

account.) But still send emails to windows live.

there are no problems with my 4 other groups. I can't figure out why Yahoo even

sends any of these to the two different email boxes because I only have one

selected in my membership and one is all you can select in the first place.

That sounds like a logical idea. I am not clear on what you mean, tho, by

signing in. Sign in to what? I do not need to sign in to the groups. I just

access them freely as a member by the link. And it seems that I can only sign in

one way to the main yahoo page to get into my mail and things. And I don't use

either of the emails in question to sign in on that page.

Those are my only two guesses. So what do you mean me to sign into.

There are a number of ways of creating an account on Yahoo. One is to

use an email address. I was suggesting to go to the home

page and click on log in or sign in. My point was that you might have a

" ghost " account that is separate from your regular account because you

seem to have two separate subscriptions to each of the two groups in

question. If it were me I would try logging in with both the email

addresses directly to try to discover if there is an inadvertent

account, but that's probably a long shot.

I think you should go to the Yahoo help forums and ask there and not

waste any more time with " maybes " . It's painful enough to have to spend

time on this. It can be really hard to get Yahoo glitches straightened

out.

I tried logging in to the Yahoo home page with my windows live email address,

but it said that the email was not on file.

This all happened a few monts ago when I closed one of two Yahoo accounts and

reassigned those group emails to go to either my internet provider's email

(Frontier) or my windows live account. Most of my other groups are split between

the two. It's just these two that did not split. Instead they populate both

groups.

And I know I would not have used either of these two emails as sign-ons to

yahoo. I do agree with you that I have a ghost account. I just don't know how to

access it.

I guess what I'm saying is, you may not have thought you used either of

the two addresses, but somehow a ghost account was created, that's the

problem is that it's not what you did, but what happened on Yahoo's

end. It has to involve those two adresses one way or another, so

detective work would be, try signing on using each of those and asking

for help with the password and see what happens. Otherwise, go to the

Yahoo help forums, surely they have seen this before.
