Re: Changes to Iris-species group

 

Not shutting down but no longer allowing users to upload data (files, photos) to the group website and attachments (photos) will no longer be archived. (I assume that posts will be archived.)  In mid Dec the existing data will be deleted and there will some changes to the functionality. Members will still be able to post to the group and attach photos but the photos will not be stored on the web site. We went through this once before so I had the group archived on hort.net.

Rod,

I read that Yahoo Groups was closing down 28 October.  Yet, it still works.  Did something change?

Hi All,

I've had a chance to look at the changes coming to Yahoo Groups. There should be no change to the group's basic function as a list server. We will be losing a trove of photos from the Yahoo site. However our posts have been archived with attached photos to Hort.net since 2004, and I don't see a need to move the group. All of the iris-species group photos sent as attachments are available there. Hort.net also has a good search tool, and I've always used it to instead of the Yahoo Groups site to find things in the archive.

The archive on Hort.net is here:
