The issue is that new members are "described" as "allowed" but in reality when i test it - so far - despite being described as "Allowed" they cannot post without being moderated if the groups are set in settings to moderate messages, as mine are - so it creates panic to see the term "allowed" whereas all previous members say "moderated". But when you test it - or atleast we did once - it blocked the new "allowed" members post and put it to be moderated. The issue with the reply drop down menu is real and remains unfixed - see my other posts - and the default "reply to " setting is not working. My biggest concerns are my two largest groups - if you see my profile they are the ones with over 2000 members and start with "hrp" - is that sufficient info? Thank you for your kind attention to this matter. OTOH the search feature - although not intuitively locatable by members is working really lovely. so kudos on that... maybe just explain it better in the visual layout?

I am the owner/moderator of HorshamPAFreecycle group. I have NO access to the membership list of this group. I get an error message. This is totally unacceptable.
Marissa Mayer should be far less concerned about WHERE Yahoo employees work, and far more concerned about whether the platforms work. This new platform is awful. And worse, there was absolutely NO pushed communication to the group site owners that this change was even coming.
