On Monday, April 13th, 2009 Yahoo! Groups will undergo scheduled maintenance.
During this time your group will be unavailable for 30-60 minutes.

The outage is currently scheduled to begin at 1 pm PT, 8 pm GMT. At this time,
1/4 of all Yahoo! Groups will become unavailable while the team services these
groups. Once maintenance is complete on that 1/4 of Groups, they will be made
available again, and the next 1/4 will become unavailable until all of the
groups have been serviced.

In total the maintenance period should last around 5 hours, with the maintenance
concluding around 6 pm PT, midnight GMT.

While your group is being serviced, all features of your group, including
messages, photos, attachments, etc. will be completely unavailable. However,
once your outage time concludes, your group and all of its features should
return and any messages that were posted to the group via email during this
downtime will be sent out. Please note that your group's outage should only last
around an hour.

In an effort to better communicate to all of you, a blast message will be posted
to all groups starting today and continuing on through April 13th, 2009, linking
to this message on the blog. This blast message is visible on all groups to all
members and moderators.

Thank you for your patience—during the outage, the blog
(http://www.ygroupsblog.com) will remain up (and comments will remain open) and
we will update you all as information becomes available.
