MODERATOR MESSAGE -- Notice from Yahoo!

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Below is a message I just got from yahoo regarding changes to

the photo albums.

Dear Moderators,

Starting the week of November 21st, we will be upgrading

Yahoo! Groups photos. Not all groups will be affected

immediately; the changes will take place gradually over a 4-6

week period.

The upgrade will:

* allow for moderation of the photos uploads (in the same way

you currently can moderate messages);

* alert users on the web site when new photos are uploaded;

* display all recently posted photos on a special " new photos

page " ;

* offer a larger display option for photos.

In addition, thanks to some help from the Yahoo! Photos team,

photos will now be stored in " albums " rather than folders. The

good news is that albums will now display the first photo in the

album as a cover photo, and the owners of an album will have

the ability to sort the photos.

However, the change also means you will no longer be able to

place a photo album in another photo album, nor add photos to

a group without putting them in an album. For existing groups

that are using these features, folders in your group's photo area

that are currently stored in other folders will be brought to the top

level; while photos that are currently not in any folder will be

automatically added to a new album called " Miscellaneous " .

If you want to preview the new Yahoo! Groups photos

functionality, you can test drive it at the special photo upgrade

beta group we have created. Please feel free to jump into the

group and tell us what you think or simply email your feedback to

groups-feedback@...

Thank you,

Gordon Strause
