  1. yahoo doesn't store attachments, you need to set your group mail to individual mail in order to see them.


  2. Also please note that many groups do not allow attachments to posts at all -- I have all mine set to "delete attachments" in management settings because I don't want someone sending out spam or viruses via the group. Check with your group moderator/owner to see if this is the case, and if they will allow you to upload photos in the "Photos" section. Best of luck!

  3. Unfortunately, Yahoo doesn't store attachments like it stores the text of messages.  This means us Yahoo Group members can never see the attachments when we read messages on the Group web site.  To see the attachments, we have to set our Message Delivery settings to Individual Email and look at the messages (with attachments) in our e-mail inboxes.

    To change your settings in a Group so that you get the Individual Emails, log in to the Yahoo Groups web site.  Then go to the home page of the Group whose attachments you want to see.  Then click Edit Membership in the middle of the top line (just below the ad if there is one).  Then scroll down to Step 2 Message Delivery. Select Individual Email there.  Don't forget to click the Save Changes button when you're done.

    EDIT : Don't worry about the first part of DC's answer, nice g - the Group you mentioned clearly does allow attachments.  If it didn't allow attachments, you wouldn't even see the "Attachment (not stored)" box when viewing messages on the Group web site.
