Yahoo Groups - Cannot access old messages

2002-12-12 by Kip Babington

I would like to look over some older messages, which I thought was possible 
through the Yahoo Groups site.  When I go there, either independently from 
a bookmark or by clicking on the link at the bottom of each message, I get 
a screen that asks for a password, and when I enter it I get a Select 
Profile screen that says (in more words) "this is the profile that will be 
displayed" and there are "Continue"  and "Cancel" buttons, but neither of 
them do anything - I just stay stuck on that screen.  It happens no matter 
which of the several groups I belong to I use to try to get somewhere.

Am I forgetting something obvious, or is Yahoo just screwed up again?  (I 
recently cancelled all of my group memberships because Yahoo wouldn't let 
me into any of them after setting up some sort of bounce flag on my account 
- even after I cleared the bounce problem.  I resubscribed to most of those 
groups, including this one, but now can't seem to get into any of 
them.)  Any advice is appreciated, as it's very frustrating to hit a wall 
with no obvious explanation, and of course there's no way I've found to ask 
Yahoo anything directly.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Kip
