and thanks to another (in my opinion) unnessecary upgrade to
yahoo, I can now no longer add or remove anything to the photos,
since the display is totally out of wack.

Yahoo! in their wisdom have decided to flatten the Photos section of
every Group such that every photo is in an album, and albums may no
longer contain subfolders.

So if a folder X in the Photos section used to contain a subfolder Y
and a subfolder Z, these will have been mapped to albums called "X",
"X/Y" and "X/Z".

I have just tested the new Photos interface on a Yahoo! Group of
which I am only a Member:

It allowed me to add a new photo to an album (of the form "X" above)
that I had created, but I couldn't delete it because the Delete
button didn't appear in the places where I see it in Groups of which
I am the Owner (viz. when viewing the photo, and in List view).

It didn't allow me to add a new photo to an album of the form "X/Y",
even though I had created the folder X and its subfolder Y.

I have just written to Yahoo! Customer Care, asking them to give
Members a Delete button for photos which they uploaded themselves.

In the meantime, I have the power to delete or rename any photo or
album in this Group, and to move photos from one album to another.
