Doesn't have to be one-liners.  I can dictate them via microphone and 
the app turns them into text.  It even does it locally now with the last 
OS update.


Yahoo probably put a priority on getting it working on mobile. The 
desktop version will probably get fixed too.


The old banner was probably the wrong dimensions and they put the 
Kremlin placeholder there. I'll have to check other groups to see if 
they got the same placeholder.  Obviously they didn't tell moderators 
they might need to provide a different picture.

This is a reply to obba. When I first tried to reply, I noticed that the reply 
would be addressed to nore...@yahoogroups.com. That was obviously not going to 
go anywhere. Obba, I don't know how you need to do this, but if you want to be 
able to see a reply, you've got to set or click something before you send your 
post to make sure the reply goes to fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, not your own 
email address--especially if you've chosen to use the anonymous and completely 
nonfunctional "noreply" address!

For this reply, I had to Start a New Topic or nobody would ever have seen it.

Anyway, you said you didn't see the three dots. The dots that show you the 
quotes when you click them are in the Reply window only, and you see them only 
after you've clicked that you want to reply to a post, i.e., only after the 
Reply window opens for you to type into it. They're in the lower lefthand 
corner, right above the SEND button (this is all on the Web site; when I use 
Yahoo email, the quotes are all visible from the start).

NOTE: Those same three dots appear under other circumstances depending on how 
you're reading the posts; they will either expand or contract whatever you're 
looking at, depending on whether it's already expanded or contracted (in other 
words, it's a toggle).

If you hover the cursor over the three dots in the Reply window, a pop-up box 
will say, "Show message history" (that means the quotes). If you hover it over 
the three dots anywhere else, the pop-up will say either "Show more" or "Show 
less," depending on which is already showing.

If any of this isn't clear, my apologies. Maybe someone else can explain it 
better.

The one thing that Google Groups does that Yahoo could adopt is you have to 
select the "Quote original" option to have prior post included when you write a 
post.  And if that option has been selected you still only get the reply but 
there is an option to display the quoted text.

However I'm not sure members here would like Google Groups any

You're probably right.  Groups are probably not a profit center but they 
do know if they drop them there will be a big stink.  Some companies run 
a Group for their products which is kinda cheapo.  Driving folks away 
would be a method of doing it gradually.

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.

Is it possible for anyone to explain to me about the difference between Digest 
and Web site? When I go to the archives, which is that?

How about Digest, do you know?

I think they pay attention to that feedback as it is again possible to visit 
later pages by clicking on an arrow rather than scrolling down which a lot of 
people complained about. But it's taken them some time to respond.

If Yahoo is reading the feedback forum that they provided, they surely have an 
inkling that people are NOT happy with it:

The main Yahoo Groups page has a box in the upper right that says, "Thank You! 
Thank you for being a great customer. We made changes to your Y! Groups 
experience. Take a quick tour", and there's a button to click for the product 
tour. Apparently, for moderators, it nukes the moderator access and controls.

Email is fine. In fact, can now get to later pages either by scrolling or by 
clicking a little arrow for Next Page. BUT for getting to a url, an extra step 
is now needed.

So, I installed Thunderbird on the advice of Alex and Barry2 - it's much 
better  - and intuitive as well. Did I mention that Thunderbird is free?
