Since Yahoo took over what used to be the eGroups system, unfortunately they've made things more complicated than they really need to be. The short explanation is that you have to create yourself a Yahoo ID first, then you have to associate your Yahoo Group(s) with your Yahoo ID. A Yahoo ID is a sort of universal login for (almost) all Yahoo services. In any case, if you follow these instructions, you should be able to log in OK. 1. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tallpeople 2. Click on the link "Register" on the top right of the screen. (This is to register for a Yahoo ID, not for the group.) 3. Fill out the Yahoo ID sign up form. You should untick the option "Contact me occasionally about special offers and Yahoo! features" if you don't want to be pestered by Yahoo marketing messages. It's worthwhile picking an ID that's fairly obscure, as most commonly desired IDs have already long since been taken. Click on "Submit This Form" 4. Once your form has finally been accepted, you will see a "Registration Completed" page. Click the "Continue to Yahoo! Groups" link. You will then arrive back at the TallPeople group page, but you will be logged in with your Yahoo ID. 5. On the right hand side, you'll see a message which says: "You are not recognized [sic] as a member of this group. If you are already a member, you may have joined with an email address not linked to this Yahoo! ID. If so, link that address to your Yahoo! ID now using our conversion wizard." Click on the "conversion wizard" link. 6. On the conversion wizard page, enter the e-mail address that you currently receive TallPeople messages to in the form at the bottom labelled "Don't have a password? Forgot your password?" Click "Continue". An authorisation code will be sent to the e-mail address you've entered within a few minutes. 7. When you receive the e-mail with the authorisation code, copy the code from the e-mail and paste it into the form on the "Enter authorisation code" page. Click "Continue". 8. You will now be prompted to enter your Yahoo password - this is the one you chose for yourself a few minutes ago when creating your ID. Enter your password into the form and click "Continue". 9. You will be shown a "Congratulations" page. Click the "View my groups" link. 10. You'll see a list of all of the Yahoo groups currently associated with your Yahoo ID (there should be just one if you've just created a new ID). 11. Click on the "tallpeople" link. 12. That's it you're logged in. Make a note of your Yahoo ID and password, because you have to log in each time you want to access the groups area.
If you already have a Yahoo ID, you can follow the same procedure to associate the TallPeople group with your Yahoo ID—you just need to skip steps 2 - 4. And also, if you've completely forgotten your Yahoo ID and password (and therefore can't retrieve the info for it), you can just create yourself a new Yahoo ID and associate the group with it using the full procedure above. |
