Looks like Yahoo is at it again!

Are you running a firewall?

Hi,

"server name or address cannot be resolved."

this is the message PGO throws when it can't access the internet. This is usually because of a firewall or privacy software or because Yahoo are doing routine maintainance and their site is down.

If you try again a day later and you still get the same error, its unlikely to be  routine maintainance.

Please install PGO on another PC you have access to. If you get the same error then it may be because Yahoo have recently altered the format of their site but I feel this is unlikely your problem as no one else is reporting this error.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Well, mine's working just fine now, for whatever reason.  However, I still can't get photos from Yahoo groups' Photos sections.  Each folder has the link to my briefcase.  Same thing for my "Photo Downloader for Yahoo Groups" app.    I've left a message at Mozillazine some time ago and have yet to get a reply back.

I guess you know Yahoo is updating the Photo Sections:

Dear Moderators,

Starting the week of November 21st, we will be upgrading Yahoo! Groups photos. Not all groups will be affected immediately; the changes will take place gradually over a 4-6 week period.

The upgrade will:

allow for moderation of the photos uploads (in the same way you currently can moderate messages);
alert users on the web site when new photos are uploaded;
display all recently posted photos on a special "new photos page";
offer a larger display option for photos.

In addition, thanks to some help from the Yahoo! Photos team, photos will now be stored in "albums" rather than folders. The good news is that albums will now display the first photo in the album as a cover photo, and the owners of an album will have the ability to sort the photos.

However, the change also means you will no longer be able to place a photo album in another photo album, nor add photos to a group without putting them in an album. For existing groups that are using these features, folders in your group's photo area that are currently stored in other folders will be brought to the top level; while photos that are currently not in any folder will be automatically added to a new album called "Miscellaneous".

If you want to preview the new Yahoo! Groups photos functionality, you can test drive it at the special photo upgrade beta group we have created. Please feel free to jump into the group and tell us what you think or simply email your feedback to groups-feedback@cc.yahoo-inc.com

Thank you,

Gordon Strause

Interesting -- I tried the new version as soon as it came out and I kept getting Invalid Page formats.  So, I tried it again this morning and it's working!

Its in the nature of how Yahoo upgrade their server software. My Get Groups still isn't working but it will start working once my servers have the latest version.

Cheers,

Wilson.
