Cortney75 0 Posted August 31, 2009 I did start a yahoo group for all of us in September. I am including Aug & Oct, specially the ones at the end of Aug and beginning of Oct. My thought...those in August are a little more ahead of some of us and then we can help the ones in September. One big happy family and push and encourage each other. I choose Yahoo over, Windows Live and Google groups (I created a group on each one) because Yahoo has the biggest storage of photos!!! Also their storage for files is also pretty big and does not count against your photo storage space. I will still come to the board to post. But I thought this would be a really nice way to keep in touch, share recipes, encourage, do challenges with each other, photos, etc. Since we are all going through this together and at the same time. Plus you can get everything emailed to you and reply right through the email to the whole group. So if you would like to join and have a nice Bandster family come on over and sign up! You do have to have a Yahoo ID to be part of the group. To get one sign up here - https://edit.yahoo.com/registration?...oups.yahoo.com Also when you apply to be a member just let me know you are part of the lap band forum or when your surgery date is/was. I don't just want to let anyone join at this time. Okay hope everyone had a great weekend. If the link to join below does not work I will edit until I can get it to work. :wink2: Click to join banded909 - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/banded909/join Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimr 37 Posted September 8, 2009 what happened to our Yahoo group???? Kim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cortney75 0 Posted September 8, 2009 I don't know what is going on with the group. I emailed Yahoo Tech Support. I am going to be upset if Yahoo deleted it. I see no reason why they should have. As soon as I hear from them I will let everyone else know. When I was setting everything up I did also set up groups with Windows Live and Goggle Groups. Sorry about this everyone...I will let you all know what is going on as soon as I can. Thanks, Cortney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cortney75 0 Posted September 8, 2009 Update to the Yahoo Group... Doing a little bit of research tonight it appears that all new groups created in the last week have been deleted by Yahoo. This is just by reading a ton or post from other people this happened too. I have not heard anything back from Yahoo yet, I did submit a ticket to tech support that says they have 24 hours to respond. I have everyone's info that joined so far. Pending Yahoo being able to hopeful set the update or whatever they did to wipe us all out...hopefully everything will be put back the way it was. If for some reason Yahoo tells me I have to reset up the group I will send each of you and individual invite to resign up for the group. Frustrating Frustrating Frustrating... At least I kept all the emails that came in on needing to approve so I have everyone's email address. Also most of you will notice if you use Yahoo Messenger I have added you as a friend. Hopefully all will be fixed soon. (crossing fingers and toes!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cortney75 0 Posted September 8, 2009 The group is back up. Yahoo deleted a bunch of groups in error that were just created. Everything should be good to go.
