Hi ZICG,

ZICG is run through Yahoo Groups. We've been with Yahoo since May 2000. Yahoo made an announcement a few days ago that they were pulling back a lot of the Group features.



"Yahoo has made the decision to no longer allow users to upload content to the Yahoo Groups site. Beginning October 28 you won't be able to upload any more content to the site, and as of December 14 all previously posted content on the site will be permanently removed. You'll have until that date to save anything you've uploaded."

What does that mean for ZICG?

I'll backup the Yahoo archives before they are deleted, but we can still post to the ZICG list after the December deadline. In other words, not an emergency, but a huge nuisance. I will look around for free or cheap alternatives. If anyone knows of some options, please email me directly.

Regards,
Michael Moffatt.
