Dear all,

With a good person's help I moved my three Yahoo lists over to groups.io and all has been splendid. I'm writing because I still go over to Yahoo once a week a so to see if say anyone has emailed there by mistake. This morning I tried to go over because I saw a repeating nonsensical email had turned up on one of my lists and discovered I couldn't reach Yahoo? groups at the portal I had used because I was confronted by a demand I sign up for an account as a yahoo person. I am not sure I should do this lest that means I sign out on my regular gmail address (above).?

Can anyone tell me what is happening? is this a ploy to force me to have a different email at Yahoo? would I lose the email that enabled me to be a listowner/moderator of these three yahoo sites for a number of years? Or just click yes and go on? Or should I now forget yahoo exists? I have been on other lists there where I have a few friends and am used sometimes to go over to these few. I'd have to give them up or just hope to maintain contact through gmail.

Just like groups.io, Yahoo has always forced me to re-login periodically.

Another point of view. (To my last message.)

AFTER you get in, I would set up an extra Co_Owner in a different Yahoo Profile
with a different e-mail address (non-Yahoo) or with some very trusted friend.

Think of this as YOUR other way in...
This assumes Yahoo is working a little now, or then <grin>

That is what they changed the message to on the login screen a while back. I also found it confusing and not really appropriate to the situation. Just ignore the message and use the address and password on your Yahoo account to login.

Yes,? you can do this if you just click on your name or user ID, it will then take you to the regular login screen.? I just did it now, I had the same screen you did.

Ellen,

I see only Easily switch, add, or remove accounts on this computer.
Then below: ellen.moody@...

This is part of Yahoo's new and somewhat confusing way of letting you stay signed in to more than one account at a time. You can then switch between signed in accounts without having to sign out and sign back in.

Is there a list of accounts to choose from or just the one? The list should include your normal Yahoo ID "ellenmoody" or "ellenmoody@..." (without the dot in your name). If that's not in the list I'm not sure why, unless you are using a computer or browser you haven't used before, or have cleared the cookies in that browser.

below that: Add account or sign out all accounts.

Click Add account. That won't be creating a new account, but adding one of your existing accounts to the list of accounts in use in this browser session.

After you click Add account it should prompt you to sign in. On that page, where it says Enter your email, enter "ellenmoody" or "ellenmoody@..." - without the dot in your name, either should work, they both mean the same account.

On the next page enter the password for that account.

The next time you see this "easily switch" page you should see more than one account listed - the ellen.moody it showed you today, plus the ellenmoody you just (re-)added to this browser session.

I just clicked on my name and it took me to the regular log in page.? Not sure why this is happening but just click on your name.??

Thank you to all. I went over today to Yahoo groups, and found I could simply click on "add account" and then I got an opportunity to "sign in" using my usual email and then password, and voila, I was back to my usual portal.
