Of course you do have to be a member of Yahoo! to do this, so if you haven?t signed up ?. Stefan just recently included the instructions, maybe you could repeat them Stefan ?..
Here they are:
REGISTER YOUR "CONNECTIONS": ?members who are survivors or who have family that was killed, deported or repressed are invited to post their location details in the CONNECTIONS DATABASE on the website http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kresy-Siberia/database ?The purpose is to enable connections between members with families who were in the same place at the same time. ?This requires registration with Yahoo as a member of the group.
POST YOUR FILES: ?members are invited to post any relevant files that they may have in the FILES section of the website http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Kresy-Siberia/lst ??This requires registration with Yahoo as a member of the group.
CONTRIBUTE YOUR PHOTOS: ?members are invited to post a photo of themselves at http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/kresy-siberia/lst?.dir=/FACES-TO-NAMES ??This requires registration with Yahoo as a member of the group.
Members can also visit our gallery and post any photos they may have, or any images of maps, documents, or anything else relevant in our GALLERY at http://www.aforgottenodyssey.com/gallery/ ??While anyone can visit the gallery, contributing photos requires a gallery login ID and password from the moderator (just ask for one at ?Kresy-Siberia-owner@...). ?Photos should be accompanied by a description (names, dates, events, locations) and by the source of the photo.
HONOR YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS: ?members are invited to submit names for the KRESY-SIBERIA MEMORIAL WALL of their family members and friends who went through the experience of repression, imprisonment, or deportation under the Soviets - including their time in USSR forced labour, Persia, the Middle East, Italy, and countries throughout the British Commonwealth. ?Please visit http://www.aforgottenodyssey.com/memorial and follow the instructions for your submission.
GET A YAHOO GROUPS ID: ?to manage your membership options and get full access to the group website to post photos, files, participate in polls and access the connections database requires a Yahoo ID. ?To get one and to link it to your e-mail address, please follow this process:
1. ?Go to http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_register and REGISTER your personal Yahoo ID
2. ?Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kresy-Siberia and SIGN IN to the group, selecting "remember my ID on this computer"
3. ?On the Kresy-Siberia home page, select Already a member? Find your membership
4. ?VERIFY your membership by entering your e-mail address. ?Yahoo will send a confirming e-mail to your mailbox
5. ?Go to your e-mails and open the message from Yahoo Member Services. ?Click on the confirmation link given in the e-mail.
6. ?This takes you to a www sign-in page. ?Enter your Yahoo password again.
7. ?Yahoo will check your e-mail for verified subscriptions. ?It should find Kresy-Siberia now. ?Click on "Edit this membership"
