Hi, there's a simple way. Take the group to Googlegroups.

It is difficult to subscribe to Yahoogroups is you are unable to see the
image verification.  I am a moderator of one Yahoo group and we have serious
problems when attempting to subscribe new members to our list.  There are no
ways of getting round this problem that I know of up to the present.
