No go with Yahoo Groups despite...

...using the yahoo_group.plp template, following the 'how to' tutorial and searching for clues here.

When I click [Start] there is a pause and Picaloader then responds with the dialog:

Project Completed:
0 web page(s) were read and 0 picture(s) were saved to disk.
1 errors occurred, you can switch to Report Pane for detail.

Unfortunately nothing is listed when I switch to the Report pane nor on the webpage that opens when I click [Error Log]. However I see an Error of "404:Object not found" listed when I open project.log with Notepad. This is strange as whichever group's Photo URL I try appears correctly (i.e. as "http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/[group name]/lst").

I noticed some discrepanices between the the Page URL filters shown in the 'how to' screenshot of the Options settings and those set when the yahoo_group.plp project file is loaded:

Yahoo_group.plp sets the Include Filters as lst;vwp;yahoofs and the Exclude Filters as greet;slideshow;multi_upload;add_briefcase;view=l;rlst

...whereas in the screenshot the Include Filters appear as lst/;vwp/;yahoofs and the Exclude Filters as greet/send;slideshow;multi_upload;add_briefcase;view=l;/rlst

I tried downloading with the filters amended to those in the screenshot, but no joy :(

Yes, I checked "Remember my ID on this computer" when I signed into Yahoo Groups. I'm using Picaloader v1.47. My firewall (ZoneAlarm) is set to permit Picaloader internet access.

I hope I haven't missed anything obvious - thanks in advance for any help.

I'm also having trouble with Yahoo.

Here is an example of the URL that I'm trying to view


http://photos.yahoo.com/angelplays2003

No matter what I do, I only goes to one page and stops. I have signed on and checked to keep it active.
