What's New with Yahoo! Groups Yahoo! Groups Photos 2.0 Starting November 21st, we will be upgrading Yahoo! Groups photos. Not all groups will be affected immediately; the changes will take place gradually over a 4-6 week period. Here is what you'll see with the upgrade: Photos Vitality
When new photos are added to a group, we will alert you on the Group Home Page in the same way that we already do for new messages, members, files, and links. New Photos Page To make it easier to find the new photos, we're also creating a special "New Photos" page, which will display all the photos uploaded to a group in the last seven days. Increased Moderator Power *********** Rick look at this ***************** Moderators who want to approve photos before they are uploaded to the group will have the power to do so. Bigger Views ************************************************* Currently, photos can only be viewed as thumbnails and a "screen size" view (approx. 400 x 300 pixels). We will be offering a new "large" view that will be up to twice as big! More Photos Currently, we store the original photos posted to Groups even though we don't display them to anyone but the Group Moderator. Now, we will only store the smaller display images, rather than the originals, which will mean more space for more pictures. Albums Not Folders Photos will now be stored in "albums" rather than folders. Albums will now look better, they will display the first photo in the album as a cover photo, and the owners of an album will have the ability to resort the photos. However, the change also means you will no longer be able to place a photo album in another photo album, nor add photos to a group without putting them in an album. For existing groups that are using these features, folders in your group's photo area that are currently stored in other folders will be brought to the top level; while photos that are currently not in any folder will be automatically added to a new album called "Miscellaneous". Let Us Know What You Think We hope you enjoy the new photos features. If you would like to tell us what you think, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Outage Advisories Yahoo! Groups will be performing critical database maintenance on Tuesday night, December 27th from 9:00 pm - 2:00 am Wednesday (California time). During that time 25% of groups will be offline. Messages sent to affected groups during that time will be queued and delivered once the groups are back online. If you want to be notified about planned downtimes in advance by email, join Yahoo!
