Everything's working as it should - I can see the messages under the
Conversations tab. Woohoo! Let the fun begin! :)

Audrey, I'll look at your membership settings vis-a-vis the page settings and
see what I can discover. It will probably be tomorrow since it's nighttime
here now...Bill!

I can get into every one of my groups, except for this one. I keep getting the
"You need to be a moderator to perform this action" notice when I click the
Conversations tab. Perhaps it has something to do with the settings. I've
signed out and in twice - that doesn't seem to work for me. Hopefully all the
bugs will be ironed out soon.
Emerging from my lurker cave,

Subject: [Zen] Problems Accessing the Yahoo! Zen Forum
Everyone...
There has been a drastic drop-off in traffic since Yahoo! implemented a new
format for its Groups including the Zen Forum. I assume this is mainly due to
difficulties in accessing the forum and not a lack of interest.
There are two ways to interface with the Yahoo! Zen Forum, by email and
through the website.
I'm ASSUMING the email interface, both sending and receiving, is working okay.
If not please advise me of any problems.
I myself have had some problems accessing the website but think I have figured
out how to navigate around the in the new format. Here are some tips:
There are two versions of the "Home Page". One is just and "Info" page for
non-members to view. It looks like the live, "Home Page" but most of the
links, like CONVERSATIONS, are not live. I get this page sometimes when I
navigate to the website. If you do get this page and the links aren't working
you must SIGN-IN to Yahoo! You might have to sign-out and then sign-in again.
I haven't diagnosed this problem to this detail yet, but signing-out and then
signing-in works for me. Then I'm taken to the "Home Page" which has live
links.
Once you're in the "Home Page" with the live links you should go to the
CONVERSATIONS link in the top left of the main section. Clicking on it will
give you a pull-down menu with 4 choices, 2 of which are TOPICS and MESSAGES.
Either of these will have the Messages, one arranged by Topic and one arranged
separately and chronologically with the latest one on the top of the list.
I won't go into more detail on all the other features. You can explore them
yourselves, but the CONVERSATIONS with the TOPICS and MESSAGES options are the
one's you'll need to read and post Messages.
Please give feedback on difficulties using this TOPIC (Thread) by just
REPLYing to this Comment or other Comments in this TOPIC. Also you can always
email me at BillSmart@... with any other comments or concerns.
Thanks...I hope this helps and I hope to be seeing more posts soon...Bill!
