on one of the pages yesterday when i was playing around, i got a page that DIDN'T have the automatically filled in @yahoo.com sign-in page, but it was after i'd just signed out.....
i think that people didn't have to have a yahoo id/profile in the early days, but at some point they made it a requirement--and based all their further "refinements" upon the assumption that only those with yahoo ids mattered. since we know that you CAN post to the group, why don't you ask how folks without yahoo ids sign on? i know that on some of the lists i monitor, most of the people from the old days without yahoo ids aren't currently active, tho..... and no, when you get a yahoo id, you do NOT have to have group mail sent to your yahoo address. i never use my yahoo address for anything--i have six or seven alternate addresses, depending on what the topic of the lists are. once you get the yahoo id, there's a place to set email preferences--you put in the email addy you want to use, and go through a verification process (they send an email to that address for you to confirm that you really want your group mail sent there), and then that's where everything goes.

I tried that link and it drives me straight to the usual "wizard" page, nothing new unluckily... >You can subscribe to yahoogroups if you want to, you just refuse to do it > Phaewrin, I tried *all* the links you provided me, but I assure you that nothing worked... On the other hand, you are 50% right: I am not refusing to create a new ID, simply I don't want to have that kind of Email sent to *any* "webmail portal", because saving it on my local disk, merging everything into a *single file* would be atrocious! I want it sent to my regular account! BUT... I have just noted that many subscribers of Feline Anemia have a non-Yahoo address, so meaning that IT IS POSSIBLE!!! And so, in the page for creating a new ID (http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/4528/screenshotqo1.jpg) why the "Yahoo ID" is pre-filled with the @yahoo.com domain? Is the "Yahoo ID" the address where they will send the posts of that group, or not? So how did the non-Yahoo subscribers to put in their address?!? I am confused... Renee, thank you very much for the photo, it has been very helpful (and Emily is beautiful, and has got some amazing paws, I always fall in love with cats with large paws!!!) Paolo
