Difficulty accessing SHADO YahooGroup

Since Yahoo was amalgamated with BTBroadband, BTBroadband has been transferring Yahoo usernames into the BTBroadband system. As a result, with such members including me, any attempt to log in to any Yahoo email group (including SHADO), to read its archives and files, instead results in logging in to BTBroadband's services, and there is no access that I have found to the Yahoo email groups' archives including to SHADO group's. I am one of the many Yahoo members who tend to join email groups in "no email" mode and access the messages from the group's archives. I am a member of about 30 Yahoo email groups, and all of them are suddenly out of my reach. Many Yahoo email groups are still very active. I don't know if BTBroadband are trying to phase out the Yahoo email groups root and branch. The more of you protest to BTBroadband, perhaps the more likely they will reinstate ability to access the Yahoo or ex-Yahoo email groups' archives and files on logged-in mode.

I'm rather surprised that Yahoo hasn't deleted the SHADO YahooGroup at this point,
as it was essentially disabled awhile ago.  Although I can still see it...

... maybe using a virtual private network (VPN) will override this behavior?  I don't
know...

Plus, I'm assuming that all of the archived messages on the SHADO yahoogroup have
been copied over to shado-forum.com.  So it would only be the files that aren't here.

I didn't have any problem accessing the old Yahoogroup site today, although it is certainly not as 'used-friendly' as it used to be. Much prefer the new site. ;)
