I'm a horrible moderator, and haven't stuck my head in here for
months. Hope that everyone is getting along OK. :-)

The reason that I'm here is that I got a message from Yahoo!
today about the usage of groups. They're taking down some
features, so I figured that I should tell you.

Here's the body of the message:




Dear Yahoo! Groups Moderator,

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
You are receiving this notice because you are a moderator of
one or
more groups.  As part of our efforts to ensure that all Yahoo!
Groups
users enjoy the same high-quality service, we will implement the
following service changes on Aug. 7, 2003:

- Message Attachments: Yahoo! Groups will continue to deliver
all
attachments sent via email, however, the attachments will no
longer be
archived within the Messages area. You may continue to upload
files
and images to the Files and Photos areas of your groups. 
Please
re-upload any attachments you would like to preserve to the
Photos or
Files areas of your group. On Aug. 7, all attachments in the
Messages
area will be removed, and Yahoo! will be unable to retrieve such
data.

- Add Members: The "Add Members" feature will now allow you to
add 10
new members per day (e.g., the ability to directly add your friends
and family to your group). You may still use the "Invite Members"
feature to invite others to join your group.

- Files and Photos: Groups web membership will be required to
access a
group's Files and Photos areas.

Thank you for your support as we make these changes that will
allow us
to continue offering a compelling, high quality, free service.

For more details on the service changes described above,
please visit
our help section http://help.yahoo.com/groups/groups-56.html.
Please do
not reply to this message via email, as responses will not be
read.



Sincerely,

The Yahoo! Groups Team
