Thanks Frank,

So if one did have a photo for discussion etc., one could post it in
the Photos section and separately post a message that it was there to
be looked at but that all comment/discussion is to be on the Message
board.

Sounds a safer way to go - the last thing I need is any sort of virus!

cheers Phil

Phil,

Yes there are two methods, attaching to emails - which is generally
considered a risk, and uploading to the files section in Yahoo

groups,

which is generally considered to be safe.

Gents,

Being a total novice to any sort of online group, can I just re-cap
here? Are there two ways of putting photos on the group site?

One in the Photos tab and one by attaching them to a posting?

If the attachment option is a security risk, can I take it that the
Photo section is safe/safer?

thanks Phil

Brad,

I don't think attachments should be allowed to emails to this

group.

I think there is a security risk with this relating to viruses

etc.

Most groups I belong to don't allow it, and I am reluctant to

join

groups

that do.

Regards,

Frank

Morning all,
Just wanting members views on whether or
not photographic attachments should be accepted on
group posts or whether it be limited to the
files/photos sections?
We are able to permit them so photos can be posted
occasionally for discussion.
Otherwise they can be placed into the other sections
where members who actually have a Yahoo account can
view them.

Interested in your thoughts. THe group is currently
set up with the default setting of allowing them.

Brad
