Re: *** IMPORTANT*** Shydrager: Converting from eGroups to Yahoo

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I'm only going by what they tell me (the guys from eGroups) and what I've

seen for myself on the YAHOO website. eGroups and YAHOO have merged which

is why this change is happening. As far as I know if you receive the digests

or regular emails to your mail INBOX nothing will change and you DON'T need

to do anything different. It's only if you want to use the web site where

we store LINKS, can have CHATS, or browse message ARCHIVES. If you want to

use those services on the web you have to have a YAHOO account. The

eGroups URLs are still valid, they just automatically take you to the YAHOO

website and the pages looks a bit different as far as colours. The same

functions are there and there are some additional functions. So yes

/group/shydrager is still valid, it forwards us to

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shydrager and when we click on " Sign IN " we

have to enter our YAHOO login ID. So you must first get a YAHOO account.

When you click on " Sign In " it will tell you, if you are an eGroups users to

click to convert your account.

Hope this helps. I'd encourage everyone to the website and check it out

because there are lots of great things on the site that we all should be

taking advantage of.

Regards,

Pam
