OOC- Report of a Yahoo Snafu'ed Whitewolf

Whitewolf has been having trouble logging onto the new Yahoo account and
expressed a wish to let you all know the problems he's had in case anyone
else is having the same thing happen to them.
If anyone can help him out then please e-mail him
(tim.sireno@...) or me and hopefully be able to sort this
damned yahoo change out together. A copy of his message is below:
> Hi Onion/Cmdr Niples!
> Well, Today turned into a real bugger when I followed Yahoo's instructions
> on how to fix my yahoo account. (So my account name is cmdrwhitewolf, as
I'm
> known to my quake 3 arena teammates, and not cmdr_whitewlf.) I was able
to
> "re-convert" my old egroups email address to the correct yahoo account,
but
> it seems that all my email message base subscriptions are gone! So, I have
> to re-subscribe and get re-approved by the group owners/moderators again.
> (What a mess! I'm going to have do this for each of my rpg I'm subscribed
> to, darn good thing I have the moderators email addresses for most of
'em.)
>
> So this is my official message to you (regarding getting re-approved)
since
> I don't have morbid's/Major Harris's full email address handy. In the
> meantime, until I'm re-approved, I'm essentially locked out of the BD
> message group and can't posted or anything. Could you do me a favor and
pass
> the word along to everyone else so they know why I'm not posting and have
> gone missing? Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it!
>
> Now I'm going to have to go and send messages to the moderators of my
other
> subscribed RPG's. And to further add to my frustration for today, I think
> I'm going to have to jettison (as in delete) my own personal egroup (and
> possibly recreate it later) along with the incorrect yahoo account,
because
> it sounds like it's going to be too much of a hassle to get it fixed when
> only myself, my wife and two close gaming friends are members of it right
> now. (My mistake was creating it just before the change over. <Duh!
forehead
> slap> I should have waited...) I'll just have to put up with losing it's
> message archive. *Sigh*
>
>
> Ah well, you probably had enough of my griping about Yahoo's Mega-Snafu. I
> just hope your having a better day than I am!

> - Tim Sireno/White Wolf

> P.S. - Pasted below is the exact instructions they had me follow, in case
> your wondering what I did to get myself into this morass, and hoping to
> spare someone else from this horrid situation.

> What if I link the wrong address to the wrong Yahoo! ID?
> Go to the My Preferences page <http://groups.yahoo.com/myprefs>. (Make
sure
> you are signed in as the "wrong" Yahoo! ID.)
> Go to the "Email Accounts" section and click on the Edit button.
> Click on the "Remove" link for the address you'd like to link to another
> Yahoo! ID. The email address will no longer be linked to that Yahoo! ID.
> Sign out and go back to the conversion wizard
> <http://groups.yahoo.com/convwiz> and follow the instructions in the
> conversion wizard to link the email address to the Yahoo! ID you prefer.
