Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Yahoo acquired eGroups, but please don't ask when. <g> Actually, it happened awhile back, but they're just now changing the name on things. I'm told that it won't change any of the functionality, but looking at the bottom of the posts, it seems to me that they're only messing things up. LOL! Teri Re: Yahoo?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Well, I just converted, and it was easy. What I didn't see was filters or my profile, so I'd say they have a ways to go with this conversion thing. Sure hope Yahoo doesn't screw this up like they did with the webrings!

V. Realistically, if you never want to add any groups, or do anything within this group like polls, etc, then nothing I guess. If you want to be able to control things, go to http://www.groups.yahoo.com and register as a Yahoo member if you've never done it. Then you can go where it says to convert your Egroups and when you complete that you're all set. -- Dave - 8:24:43 PM T2 - 8/98 Glucophage, NPH - Davors Daily Aphorism: Support bacteria - it's the only culture some people have! -- Visit my HomePage: http://dorcutt.homepage.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
