Yahoo Groups Changing
|
following the links below i am not sure what exactly they are going to be downloading. seems it might only be your own personal data? does anyone have any information on downloading the posts and files themselves?

I've found a help page on downloading content: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/download-data-privacy-dashboard-sln28671.html
Which eventually got me to a download page https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/getmydata#
It says I'll get an email when my download is ready.

I noticed that at the top of this and other Yahoo Groups there is a message saying:
Starting December 14, 2019 Yahoo Groups will no longer host user created content on its sites.
This means after that date all photos, files, links, etc. will be gone, and probably all historical messages. If anyone has any ideas how we can copy all of it to another place accessible to letterboxers please let Choi know so we can get started before it is too late. If not, I guess just download things you want for private access. If nothing else, everyone who cares should at least look at these files one last time before another letterbox memory is gone forever 😢

i just found this link which explains what verizon is doing to the yahoo groups. from what i am reading there is a way to archive the whole group posts etc. using automated scraping tools. i might or might not could figure out how to use the programs it, but alas, only an admin can actually do it not a mod. maybe one of our more techie people can become an admin (if not already?) and come to the rescue?
lol ignore what the url title is! the article is " Yahoo Groups Is Winding Down and All Content Will Be Permanently Removed"
2 links to the programs and more info.

I'll see if LbNA can handle to files from letterbox-usa. On Fri, Oct 18, 2019 at 1:22 PM sileagle@windstream.net [letterbox-usa] <letterbox-usa@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
Any idea where you can put the information that can be accessed by the letterbox community? If so, it would be great if we could do the same for interested regional Yahoo Groups.
