Why doesn't Yahoo tell us WHATS GOING ON with this NEO realease?

Favorite Answer

You are right. Yesterday the old view was back and everything was wonderful. Today neo is back and I once again, as moderator, cannot post or start topics in my group. Yahoo has done us a disservice. Leave well enough alone Yahoo. Let the groups work within the old format and keep this neo garbage away from us. I am very very upset, as I have been dealing with the mess all week and weekend. Things were not broken in the old groups, so why try to change them? After writign all my groups yesterday and letting my members know all was well (because most of them didnt get hit with the NEO virus), now I have to rewrite and tell them everything is messed up again. Further, your worthless photos are replacing things that managers took pride in custom designing.
I'm ready to shut my groups down now.

If someone can tell me how to be able to write replies, and start topics from within the group please feel free to do so. I do not accept going through the Email and off of the group site as an answer, because I receive too many emails and couldnt handle it.
Oh, and what I mean by worthless photos...all the groups I belong to and manage are health groups. We have yoga pictures replacing photos or custom pages that managers have worked very hard to keep in place (and that make our sites personal and friendly). We don't want Yahoo selecting photos to put on our home page. We want the custom pages back.

Btw, Yahoo wrote me this afternoon and said my case was closed because I didnt reply to their emails. Yes, yes I did. And they did not get back to me. Again, if someone from Yahoo can tell me why in the world my posts to my group are bouncing, and provide me a fix for this, I will be happy to take that as a reply....Show more

I am also frustrated with the new NEO format. It reverted to classic temporarily and then today NEO was back. Even as group owner, I am unable to do any editing to our database tables that are essential to our working group. I've tried many of the suggestions given to no avail. Hoping this will be fixed soon....Show more

I've now spent hours struggling with NEO bugs. And I can't even get a message or bug report through to Yahoo. Maybe they think everything is fine. I can't add members, and people who want to join my group are reporting signup failures....Show more

OK, I THINK I HAVE A WORK AROUND, I know this works in retrieving pictures in full size, but I am not sure that it will work for e-mail, you will just need to try.

I think you can stop at the no style for e-mail--- but don't hold me to that.

this will allow you to retrieve full size pictures from groups.

the above may not work, I am suggesting that people go over to google groups, or tell us where we can find another place where we can re start our desired group....Show more
