WebRing is
integrating with Yahoo!
Webring is now
part of the Yahoo! network. The Yahoo! WebRing system has a new user
interface, new
features, and a simplified Ring management system. The new system is streamlined
and extremely efficient.
We will launch the new Yahoo! WebRing system on Tuesday, September 5,
2000 at 11:00 a.m. PST. The WebRing system will be closed to managing Rings
and editing sites for 24 hours prior to launch. All links on the
existing WebRing system will continue to work during this period.
Please continue reading for detailed information on the Yahoo! WebRing
integration.
Yahoo! WebRing Questions and Answers:
Q: Why do I need a Yahoo! ID?
A: The new system is automated to make Ring navigation easier. The
Yahoo! ID is key to simplifying the system and replaces the old, difficult-to-remember
passwords and Ring IDs.
You need a
Yahoo! ID to edit your site or delete it from the Ring. All changes to your
site must be made in the new system.
Note: You can associate all your sites with just one Yahoo! ID.
Q: How do I sign up for a Yahoo! ID?
A: Sign up for a Yahoo! ID by going directly to the Yahoo! WebRing
front page. In the yellow box titled "Current WebRing
Users," click the
"Sign In Here!" link. The next page will prompt you to sign up
for a
Yahoo! ID or log in if you already have one.
If you bookmarked the WebRing login page, the system will automatically
lead you through the steps of associating your site. If you've forgotten
your Ring or Site ID, use the links provided, and we'll email the
information to you.
Q: What about my HTML fragment?
A: Your HTML fragment will continue to work for now. The Ring you
belong to will still be intact and will include all existing members.
Q: What is the server-side navigation bar?
A: The server-side navigation bar simplifies the installation of the
HTML code. Just copy and paste the code onto your page. Existing
WebRing members and RingMasters are not required to use the new
navigation bar, but check it out. It's customizable and really
simplifies Ring management. You may want to become a RingMaster
yourself.
Q: What happened to Ring locking?
A: Locked Rings were frustrating and wasted time. In the new system,
we
have completely eliminated Ring locking. Now accessing the Ring is
easier, faster, and more fun!
Q: What else is new?
A: A handy new page called "My Rings" lists all the Rings
you belong
to. The user interface is fresh and clean. And joining a Ring is
simpler than ever.
Q: Need more help?
A: Help links are included on every page. All features and
requirements
of the new system are explained in the Help section.
We are very excited about the new WebRing system and think you will be
too. As always, we appreciate your input and feedback. Just email us
webring-help@yahoo-inc.com.
Thanks for your ongoing participation in Yahoo! WebRing, and stayed
tuned -- more new features and tool are on the way.
