This is another test of the email response method of reply to a post in the forum. I successfully replied to a topic and can see the other conversations once again when on the forum webpages directly.
In that response I mentioned that when hitting reply via the web link at the bottom of the email it took me to the original post in the thread. That was because I had that original email open. That was because my settings are set to only receive special notices from the forum. So, Bill had to forward me a copy of his post that begins with "I thought I'd responded to this already so this might be a duplicate...". In that email since he forwarded it or copied and sent it he was not using the forum to send it so there were no links at the bottom of the page to hit reply to. So, my observation in my last post about having to back out of one message and going into another to reply was just not a real issue. Ok, I hope this has been helpful. I note that I will not even receive this response in my email since I am setup to receive special notices only. So, I will fade into the background once again, but I will prod myself to visit the forum more often and maybe even join in on occasion. w..w On Oct 8, 2013, at 1:31 AM, <[email protected]> <[email protected]> wrote: > Everyone... > > > There has been a drastic drop-off in traffic since Yahoo! implemented a new > format for its Groups including the Zen Forum.
