I haven't read enough to see if anyone at Yahoo has responded.

I don't know. Basically, the neo interface is the Yahoo Groups version
of Yahoo's new webmail interface, where it loads more posts as you
scroll down. Any current web browser should be able to handle it.
Heh, I checked the site on Chrome where I maintain the web login and I
wasn't logged in so clicked on "My Groups" and it said there were no
groups associated with this email. That isn't true or I wouldn't be
able to post via email or receive posts via email. Yet another Yahoo
fuck-up.
Yahoo has been a long time joke in the Bay Area and known for their
shitty programming. Hell, they still can't keep my location in place
even though on Yahoo News it clearly shows me logged in and my account
info says where I'm from. Just shit poor engineering by cheap 20
somethings fresh out of college who think they know everything and know
next to nothing. Like the little shit I talked to a year ago at tech
show who was at the YouTube booth.
When many of us grew up we had folks a little older than us boxing our
ears in our early twenties. It was their way of saying "you think you
know something but you don't know that much yet." Today's kids grew up
with the "you always win" bullshit which was perpetuated in the
educational field starting in the 1980s to fend off teenage suicides.
And speaking of YouTube they keep harping at me when I visit there about
using MY real name from my Gmail account for the channel name. I keep
clicking on the choice of leaving the channel name as it is. The little
dumb shits have never heard of "stage names."
Or how about LinkedIn treating me, a senior citizen, like I'm a 20
something starting out "my career." We could all teach those little
shits a thing or two.
