Update: 12/4 11:20 AM PT- We’re aware of the problem some groups are having approving pending messages with images and are working on a fix. This issue is unrelated to the coming change with attachment storage (no code for that has yet been pushed to production).
Back by popular demand and coming soon — Yahoo! Groups will be enhancing and reinstating a feature that will give moderators the ability to archive/store email attachments in Groups (removed 2003). This will allow your group members to retrieve attachments along with the original message at any time and not have to store them on their computers.
Benefits at a glance:
- Adds valuable content to the group archive accessible by current/future users
- Enables users to upload content (photos, files etc.) with an email vs. having to upload each file
- Reduces the size of emails, optimal for low bandwidth, dial-up users
- Enables digest and web only members to have access to attachments
Please keep in mind that this new feature is still in early beta, which means:
- You can expect to see bugs
- You can expect to see missing features and usability problems
- You can expect down time and even the removal of the feature (if it turns out there are unforeseen technical problems)
This feature will be available in the next few weeks; we’ll post more information as we get closer to the release date with details.
We look forward to hearing about how you like this feature and what we can do to make it even better.
Thanks!
Yahoo! Groups Team
How can I set this feature? In the posting/archive options I only have these…
Attachments
* Include in emails (exclude from site)
* Exclude from site and emails
since few weeks i could not see messages or pictures… what problem actually is posed for transmitting by yahoogroup is unknown.please see that i would get messages asusual
yahoo rules!!no bugs for a long time!
Big bug today.. None of the files at my group are accessible when I’m logged in and then click on them. They are not readable. It’s unknown if anybody can see new uploads or links remotely via email.
The error message received is..
This file is not accessible. on a generalized Yahoo! website 404 page.
LOL, techs check it out. You have permission to access owner options.

Great, but more than a few weeks have passed (its now 6 weeks) and no new news on what is happening. Plus this list contains spam so it looks like yahoo is not even monitoring this list………. I hope yahoo keeps its word and delivers this service. But given the lack of response I hope that yahoo is not running out of money to implement this service upgrade.

Nice to hear its solved.
Thewaiter and Bryan Ex: There will be thumbnails in the emails and on the web for image files (aka photos). Many users are on slower bandwidth connections so this will hopefully help reduce the email sizes. It also helps users see a preview of the image before actually clicking on them.

Having started my first list on Onelist.com which later became eGroups.com which later became Yahoo Groups, I have to agree with two previous posts here.
1) I understand why attachments were dropped at the time but it’s been way too long to re-instate the feature. I too will be glad to see the return of stored attachments. Btw… anyone else remember uploading files to “The Vault”?
2) I would also hope that attachments are thumb nailed as they are in Yahoo Mail. Many people don’t resize images before posted which can often blow the web page out of proportion or you may be only looking for one of two specific images or files.

Hi dear Gordon
there is still a bug
the images in pending mails are visiblenow yes
but it’s not the good image beside each name of image
for exemple if you have 3 image the last one is beside the 1st name
they are all mixed
so if we need to delete one image and we clic to delete on the name beside it we don’t delete the good one
i hope i explained well
can you fix this too
thanks a lot
lovez and regards

Jake what is the url to your site of?
and Gord, this is really getting frustrating not approving messages in the group and leaving them pending grrrr.
How are other group members handling this right now?
Charmaine
Hi Nubia…
My group is having the exact problem as yours. Neither myself or my mod has been able to see the images that comes with the messages and we own a PSP Tubes group and generally we like to see what goes thru the group (to prevent it being that of Adult or other tubes we do not allow and other types of tubes)…
We are getting red x in a box and/or [IMG] [IMG]
This however has been going on for us for going on 3 days now.
Gordon, can you please give us approx. how long it will take to get a fix for this. Our group gets approx 500 + emails per day, cannot imagine holding on to that many pending messages.
Thanks so much. Charmaine Jensen Voisine (Group Owner) and Auline (Moderator)
Thanks Y!group for letting moderators to add atachments ! THANKS !
It’s about time this feature was reinstated.
2003 seems like ages ago … and I don’t even remember what the reason was for removing it. What was it again?
I hope you will have “thumbnails” for attachments while accessing messages through the web. I hope the picture attachments are not going to be full-size with each message … I would rather click a thumbnail to open up the full-size image.
Thanks.
Dear Gorden there is an other bug
each time we approve mails size bigger than 5 mB they arrive in twice in the mail box of our members
this happen for ALL mails size bigger than 5 Mb
this is a problem
can you fiw this also
thanks
Lovez and regards

this is vital for the moderators to see the pictures as attachement in pending mails

Will there be a Management control over this?.
I would suggest adding a) Include in emails and store on site, and b) Store on site (exclude from emails) to the two existing choices for Attachments in the Posting Options page. Preserve the choice between the other two options already made by each group to prevent unnecessary disruption in groups. That is, don’t automatically change group behavior as a result of the push — let the group management decide to change it.
Nubia: We’re aware of the problem some groups are having approving pending messages with images and are working on a fix. But it’s unrelated to the coming change with attachment storage (no code for that has yet been pushed to production).

this is really a great news !
but the problems begin already today
since tonight we can’t see the pictures as attachement in the pending mails
so how can we manage the mails and know if the pictures are correct or not if we can see them like before
you must show the pictures attachement in pending this is VITAL for the work of moderator
thanks

WOW!
It’s about time.
So many times I have been so angry for Yahoo taking over egroups simply because of that one thing….. stopping storage of attachments.
NOW YA GONNA FIX THAT!
HOORAY!
