Why are so many getting "Bad Request" Bad URL errors when logging in to groups?
We are getting multiple emails and phone calls from people who go to the URL of our groups and are seeing "bad request" URL doesn't work type messages. I don't have the text verbatim. Happened to me too as owner and I was able to get back in to my groups by logging out, then logging in to groups.yahoo.com and then searching for my group in search groups, then suddenly it reattached my yahoo! ID to my groups whereas prior to the search it resulted as if I had NO groups myself. Can you please look in to this. Very time consuming to hand hold hundreds of members on a Sunday while trying to also do all the admin work that NEO has made 10 steps instead of previous 1 click. Also very scary as group owner to see your ID not reflect your groups.
This is the error messages folks are getting:
Sorry, Bad Request.

I had this happen as well, but it fixed when I rebooted, (not when I closed my browser thought). Does it have something to do with being the owner of multiple groups?
