Should I create a Yahoo profile?
Definitely. If you don't have one, and are subscribed to the list, it means you receive messages of the list but do not have access to the group's web features.

Groups web features include:
Message management -- easily control the frequency of email messages you receive.
Membership management -- easily join or leave groups, all in one place.
More -- get access to message archives, photos, files, calendars, polls and more.

What's more, when other members look at the members list, they can identify you. Only list members with a profile can go to the website and post to the list.

How do I upload or download files on the site?

You must have a Yahoo Profile
Once you have one, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eTeachNet/
Click Files in the lefthand side menu and click Add Files*
You will be asked to Click Browse to select a file to upload. If you do not see the Browse button, your browser does not support file uploading. In fact, for some reason, the Browse button is a Parcourir Button
You may want to put your file(s) in a folder, so before uploading the file, create a folder and give it a name.

I uploaded a file into the wrong folder. Can I move it?

Yes! Just use Yahoo's cut-and-paste functions to move the file.

Click on the Cut link next to the file you want to move. You'll notice the file will move to your "clipboard."
Go to the folder where you'd like to move the file.
Click on the Paste link.
