"Do 'Photos' HAVE to be binary images like .jpg or whatever, or could they be text files? If text were a possibility, an 'Album' could be created, containing some number of 'Photos', which would really be text files that would display as text in the Web browser when someone clicked on the title."
I'm guessing that scheme, although ingenious, won't work.
Here's why: whenever you upload a photo, Yahoo automatically creates a thumbnail version by scaling down the JPEG image. That's a dead giveaway that it *requires* a JPEG in this area--if you tried to feed it a text file or any other kind of file, it would no doubt choke when it tried to create the thumbnail image.
But this needn't stop us from having a FAQ. Having just spent the better part of a week plowing through all 3,000+ messages, I like the idea (setting aside the issue of who will compile and maintain it!)...but we don't have to shoehorn it into the existing Yahoo Clubs structure.
All of us have Internet Service Providers, and virtually every ISP offers several megs of server space to each customer for personal web pages.
Why not park a FAQ page there? From a user's point of view it doesn't matter whether it's hosted on Yahoo or some other webserver--it's only a click away, and that's what matters.
I have at least three different chunks of server space from various ISPs that I could put a FAQ page on, and I'm sure the founders could easily do the same with their ISPs. Once the FAQ is there (in the form of a web page, please--let's not ask people to download and decode text files), all we need is a link to it on the club's "Links" page. Simple.
I'd be glad to host the FAQ. But since whoever does this will need to maintain it via FTP, it probably makes sense for that person to do it on his or her personal server space. Any volunteers?
