	Several years later we are dropping using Yahoo. Along the way life and technology has moved on, so Freegle has built it's own platform - Freegle Direct - to provide a 'Yahoo free' option of hosting groups. Our support for Yahoo Groups for local Freegle groups ends in September 2018.

	Edward previously provided an application for members of Yahoo local groups to use to help them get the best out of their group. But unfortunately, he didn't get any offers of support to keep it running. It has now been withdrawn, but Freegle Direct provides a more integrated and simple solution for members.		=== Yahoo!
