In view of these new Yahoo problems, I thought I should mention a situation 
with cookies.

I used to set my cookie prefs to "ask for each site". This way I could easily 
decline marketing cookies and accept needed ones (subscriptions, accounts 
etc).

A few months ago, Yahoo changed its behaviour and locked me out of its 
groups unless I set my prefs to "accept all cookies". This was clearly a new 
move on their part as it didn't affect  getting to my account settings or yahoo 
email. Just the groups. IOW, with cookies set to "ask", neither my group 
membership was recognized nor my moderator or owner status.

The moral of the story - besides how aggressive Yahoo has become with its 
marketing practices - is to check your cookie prefs in relation to any changes 
of status to your Yahoo groups. 

It's getting weirder....
