Can you please allow users to disable the new attachment mode?

It really bugs when a message that has an attachment breaks a conversation on gmail, and forces everyone to see the new message separated. Also I wanto to have direct access to my files, not having to click anything extra. thanks..

It sounds like a lot of people aren’t happy about learning new tricks. Perhaps most of their difficulties are the result on not knowing how to use their computers. I think most of us are self taught and this leads to large knowledge gaps in how we understand how our computer programs work
I too struggle, but at least make an attempt to understand how and why changes occur.

I’m curious as to why my group (BoundTiedGagged) hasn’t migrated over to the new attachment storage feature yet. I do show 100GB of storage under my Photos section, but do not see the “Attachments” link on my left hand menu. Please advise.

Sincerely,

It’s kinda hard to download the attachments with this new arrangement (the attachments archived on site), unlike if the attachments were included in the emails. But then again, if you sent it out with the emails, you can’t have them archived.

If it’s archived as well as sent out, that will probably defeat the purpose for which this feature was introduced in the first place since its design was to reduce bandwidth usage, plus it’ll eat up Yahoo’s storage resources.

IMHO, the best thing to do is to let the group members, not the group owners, choose the setting that would be applicable to them. That’s the only option that would cater to the needs of most people.

Just my 2 cents worth…

At last! We are a technical forum, and often our messages have attached diagrams, schematics, or photos tha are necessary. Our forum was greatly made less useful when the attachment storage was removed six years ago.
I would hope that both storage and including in the initial e-mail simultaneously would be available. We sure hope the new system works!

We liked the old method best. When I leave a comment to a photo it gives me a error message saying “An error occurred” and the note comment does not go through.
We appreciate you and all you try to do for us. Guess my feelings are that if it is not broke….”Don’t fix it’.
