Thread: Download your files NOW

Hi all,

I'm absolutely unable to login to YahooGroups. Attempts to recover said access have been stymied by Yahoo and AT&T. Yahoo is offering to try and help recover my access provided that I'm willing to pay them. Having had bad customer experiences with Verizon (Yahoo's new master) and AT&T in past years, I have no desire to risk getting monthly charges that I will have to jump through hoops to cancel.

At some point tomorrow (12/14/19), Yahoo is deleting all uploaded files, so if you want them and haven't already done so, grab them NOW. This includes all email threads, too! Yahoo refuses to host anything anymore. YahooGroups will be an email distribution only service.

If you haven't already done so, please consider joining us over at Groups.io: https://groups.io/g/Traveller-TNE

This will very likely be my last announcement here.

Thanks for the memories.

I grabbed everything (files, phots and messages. For the files &
photos, I can just send them to you. The message may be a bit
trickier.

I also requested the yahoo-provided downloads (and have finally found
a way to actually get them downloaded). So I'll have a double check
of my own.

The yahoo downloads don't have the photos and have the messages in
mbox format. But it's all dealable.

Wish I'd known that they'd get grab for groups where your membership
was only pending. I could have gotten several other traveller groups
that way. :-(
