I've been using yahoo groups with no problems. Definitely, there are problems with dumping all things Vans on Vansairforce. Posting pictures on yahoo is the easiest, and yahoo foots the bandwidth. Using your hardrive as a bulldozer doesn't work for everyone, especially people who don't know how, share a computer, or use the library computer. My favorite linking system is save a yahoo groups email on an account, click on it, then switch to the group you want. I don't even save a link. It's that easy.
