I wonder if I can post the link here? Would it be breaking any forum rules?

It is not ok to post links to discussion groups that are closed to the public - meaning you have to join to see that is posted. You can set your Yahoo group to Read Only for non-members (like adoption.com) and then it would be OK to post. This allows anyone to read posts, but not post themselves or see other areas of the site (files, photos, etc...). However, posting a link to a group that you have to join to read is not allowed.


Also, if you have any doubt at all if something is ok to post or not, please, please, please ask before posting - a moderator is almost always on line to ask... it will keep you safe from being given breaks for not following rules!
