Having just had a few people tell me they have trouble getting through
to the files area (and knowing it is a PITA for me too) I am wondering
if there is a viable solution?
There seem to be a few of problems...
* People forget their id/password details since they are hardly ever
used or required.
* Firewalls (is this a problem just with Yahoo, or with any website?)
* Yahoo only lets you get through with cookies - which for some of us
means reconfiguring the browser to access the site. (Actually I run
two browsers; one with nothing activated for everyday use, and one
with cookies and few other items just for sites like yahoo.)
* Others?
Any suggestions on how we can make file sharing easier and more
reliable/accessible?
