Hi folks.
Are you aware that Yahoo is making big changes to Groups? It seems that these have been instigated by a new member of the Yahoo team out to make her mark. However she is leading the project to turn Groups into Face Book - that is rather than being a topic based system, Groups is to become a people based social networking look-a-like. Along with this will be the loss of many features including rich-text messages (no HTML / formatting), no databases, possibly the loss of links and files and photos. The new system's pages are also so top-heavy with s/w that it is causing computers to freeze and to crash. In its arrogance Yahoo is refusing to listen to the thousands of Group moderators that have in some cases spent many years developing their Groups with their thousands of members. CJB.
You should read some of the comments here and post your own, too:

Some comments on the new Yahoogroups look:
1) The list activity box is gone. This was useful when deciding if one wanted to join a group or not.
2) The search function is gone. This was useful if it was necessary to show what someone had actually said. This may come back later, but it only took 2 YEARS to get that one fixed last time.
3) The "greater than" and "less than" symbols no longer are treated as delimiters showing what someone said. As a result entire sections of posts are deleted with the comment: "Non text portions removed"
4) Internet Explorer is encountering frequent lock-ups when accessing messages.
5) If you do happen to have a post number and try to use it, you will get an entire page of posts, not just the one you want to see.
6) No one seems to like it (link:
http://suggestions.
7) If you want to "vote" on it, it seems like the only option is "thumbs up".
8) It is much less than ready to use. Many functions, when accessed, give a message along the lines of "the piant is still drying on this one".
In short, it's horrible.
