Hi, it is possible that the group requires the owner to admit you and that
it has died, otherwise you are stuck and should find alternatives with other
providers. Yahoogroups is still, essentially, inacessible unless you already
have a yahoo ID, and even then,the only way of subscribing to groups is via
the email method due to the capture issue. This is why I have moved all
groups I possibly could, which does number quite a few now, away from yahoo.
Cheers
Dave

Subject: [access-uk] Problems with Yahoo Groups
Hello,
I want to subscribe to a couple of Yahoo groups, but the e-mails that
I sent have got no response. So I logged on to the Yahoo groups
website, found a link to one of the groups I am interested in and
clicked on the "Join this Group" button. This took me to the page to
sign up for a Yahoo ID.
Signing up for a Yahoo ID involves the dreaded captcha, but there is
an alternative for blind/VI users, which is to send a Help message to
Yahoo. I have done this, and the e-mail which I received in reply
tells me to phone a number in the U.S.A.!
Has any of you without a Yahoo ID successfully subscribed to a Yahoo
group by sending an e-mail request during the last six months? If
yes, then I suspect that the problem is caused by my ISP Virgin
Media, (formerly NTL). If I have to set up a Yahoo ID, is there an
alternative to phoning the States?
I am already a member of two Yahoo groups and can send and receive
e-mails to and from them. However, I cannot change settings by
e-mail, such as going nomail. This started happening about six
months ago. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Christopher
