Oops, back to old problem:
Yahoo planning shutting down Yahoo groups from 15 December 2020.

https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.co ... 5/78653299

Yahoo was one of the first bases for hosting the various groups, including those associated with The Avengers/TNA and their performers.

Yahoo groups finally closed, but not quite on schedule.

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo

Recently, the internet was filled with news that this would happen on December 15th, but when I looked in there the next day at a certain time when I already had confidence that it should have been closed - it was still available!!! Only I began to gradually come to the conclusion that they could change their plans for the better :) - the closure happened. :(

Alas, the Internet Archive is not help.

Basically, there is this massage:

Using the Wayback Machine looking at phones at Dianarigg.net under the files for the Avengers/TV, I noticed some of the photos were not available under file 12. Would anyone have them? I believe some of them were rare. Thank you

It looks like the missing pictures are in File 11 and not 12; however, on of the pictures that I was looking for was only seen on that website. It was a photo of Diana Rigg/Pamela Ann Davy performing a fight scene for the "Living Dead" episode even though it was not used. The photo showed six little scenes of them going through the motions of fighting. Have not seen that photo around. Thank you for your assisting.

They're mostly on Shutterstock in better quality, they are all on the bluray extras from memory.
