Are they talking about the photos in your Yahoo email acct or something else? I have 500 photos to transport if they are. Anyone?

I got an email from yahoo and was required to transfer or delete my photos. I have noticed that my photo gallery on my groups are still intact.

Alan is correct...it's only the images you've uploaded to photos.yahoo.com are affected by this.
