Photos inaccessible August 28, 2005, 12:32:01 pm Yahoo Message Number: 57400I do not seem to be able to access the photo file here. I have been trying since yesterday. I used a different browser and got the same error message. Is this a Yahoo glitch?Cindy

I can get into the Photos section now without any trouble, so I'm guessing it was a temporary Yahoo glitch.Andy Baird

Re: Photos inaccessible Reply #6 – August 29, 2005, 07:23:47 am Yahoo Message Number: 57427"FWIW, I'm getting this error message still:Error GROUP_CHECK gpg9.bc.scd.yahoo.com:GROUP_CHECK" I figured it out. That completely cryptic error message means "Your photos section is FULL--no room for any more! So, we're restricting users from getting in there to prevent them from uploading any more pictures." Yahoo limits our photo storage to thirty megabytes. Normally we moderators keep track of the amount of stuff in the Photos section and prune files and folders as we approach our limit. This particular problem occurred almost overnight because a couple of members who had rigs for sale uploaded more than ten megabytes of pictures, and a few others uploaded files that were way bigger than they needed to be. Mind, I'm not blaming them! There's no warning when you upload that says "This image is 972K--that's too big." But when people upload images straight from their cameras without scaling and compressing them for the web, we get these monster files that can fill our storage to its limit in a matter of days or even hours. I've deleted the multimegabyte folders, and we're back down to 2/3 full. This isn't the first time this has happened, unfortunately. And it's not fair to have access to all photos cut off for everyone just because somebody forgot to scale images to a reasonable size before uploading them. So as of now, I'm going to ask that:1. No photos of rigs for sale be uploaded here. There are plenty of other places to put photos you want to share, including elsewhere on Yahoo...and if you have an internet connection, you have an ISP who gives you megabytes of personal web server space where you can upload pages of photos. There are lots of alternatives...so when you're selling your rig, please use them rather than filling up this group's Photos space.2. No photos over 100K be uploaded here.There's just no need for any image file bigger than that here--if you really have to put a five-megapixel image of your new curtains online, you can use one of the photo-sharing services mentioned above. From now on, any file in the Photos section larger than 100K is at risk of being deleted when we do routine housekeeping. (Bumpersoar, Reciprocityfactor and others, take note.) I don't mean to be draconian about this...but as I said, we just can't have the whole Photos section suddenly going dead simply because somebody uploaded five megs of images and in one fell swoop put us over our thirty-meg limit. Common sense tells you that you wouldn't email a 900K file to all your friends--so don't upload it here.Andy Baird
Too many emails! Reply #7 – September 06, 2005, 10:22:33 pm Yahoo Message Number: 57809Hello Andy, I'm enjoying the lazy daze group site immensely. I've armed myself with much info from the site for my negotiations with the dealer last week.One thing tho: emails! I'm getting all the emails, as well as a digest. I suspect this goes back to when I joined the group and kept the default for emails. When the change didn't take, I unsubscribed (I can't recall why) and rejoined. Looks like the settings for my first membership remain, even tho I'm using the same account.I only want the digest of emails.Thanks.Bruce[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Since you resubscribed, you probably have 2 accounts now -- did you use the same email address, same User Name and Password? I'm assuming, since you're receiving BOTH the digest and individual emails, you had to have used different User Names and Passwords. So, that means you're going to have to go into BOTH accounts and set both of them to "no email," or set one to "no email," and the other to "digest."

Re: Too many emails! Reply #16 – September 12, 2005, 11:15:53 pm Yahoo Message Number: 57959Hello Andy, Well, I've removed this group from one yahoo account, and changed to Digest for my second. Still getting Digest plus all the email. I can't find another account among the Members list that I recognize. Is it possible to get a listing of members that doesn't require 82 screens of review (2432/30)? Or can you tell me the names of the members who registered within a few days of my membership?Yours in frustration.Bruce J. Brod

If you tell me what account to look for, I can look for it. But as others have pointed out, you can do this yourself using the search function of the members page. Your incoming emails have an address header (you may have to ask your email program to show you "full headers" to see it) that tells what account the mail came in on. All you need do, then, is search this group's member page for that account. You can do this faster than I can, since you have the information at your fingertips.Andy Baird
Re: Too many emails....now Andy in OHIO! Reply #24 – September 15, 2005, 01:18:40 am Yahoo Message Number: 57996"Welcome to Ohio! How long are you going to be in Ohio?" I'm long gone, sorry to say--stayed in Indiana yesterday and Illinois today. I am doing exactly what I always said I don't like to do: driving hundreds of miles a day on interstates without stopping to see the interesting sights. My excuse is that I have a date with a friend who's going to show me the fall colors in Colorado...and then with some balloons in Albuquerque in two weeks. But I won't be doing this kind of long-distance run again soon, I promise you! "What do you think about the camping fees in Ohio's State Parks these days? I see where Buck Creek is one of the Ohio Parks that is available through Passport America, do you belong? Oh, yes. If you don't belong to any other campground discount system, I think it makes sense to belong to Passport America. It's so cheap that you make back your annual fee the second or third time you camp. As for Buck Creek S.P., I very much regret not being able to stay longer there. At the PPA discount rate, I paid something like $13 a night with electric and water hookups, and it's a beautiful spot. Sites are level and paved (!), and there's lots to do. I hope to stay there again someday, and really get to see the place.Andy Bairdcamped next to a cornfield in south central Illinois
