Re: Transferring Yahoo group after October 28
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýLarry,I'll have to try to remember my old login. In Yahoo Groups a memberships (including its Role crown, if any) is known by two identifiers: an email address and (optionally) an account, aka Yahoo Profile. When signed in either your new or old account the Membership menu may give you access to alternate memberships, held by that account under different email addresses: Some of the addresses may have crowns the others don't. Switch to one that does in order to have the page show the Management menu. If you can't sign in to your old account for whatever reason, you may still be able to transfer the membership holding the crown to your new account. But that requires that you both remember what that email address is, and that you can still receive messages there. That latter may be the killer if your crown is held by an Yahoo Mail address that you can no longer sign into. I can't see the membership list. I do have several other addresses, but I don't know if I used any of them to post messages. I know that I only used one address to start the group and manage it over the years. If you have a group message in your email folders, one sent by you using the address used to manage the group, there's a header field that will show you exactly what it's Yahoo Profile is: X-Yahoo-Profile: That's the profile you need to enter into Yahoo's Sign in page. Exactly as it is written there (most likely without any @yahoo.com? or other email address decoration - that applies only to newer accounts). Of course you still need to remember the password, or try going through the password recovery mechanism.
