Update: Groups Photo Notifications

We wanted to let you know that we’ve identified and resolved a bug with photos that was causing notifications of new photos to not go out.

The good news is, the issue has been resolved and if you currently have your photos (and messages) set to “moderate” within your Group, you’ll begin to receive notifications whenever members upload photos that require approval.

The bad news is, if your Group took advantage of the new photo feature and uploaded a bevy of photos, you may have received a series of backlogged messages notifying you of past photo uploads that needed approval.

Moving forward, if your Group is set to moderate photos, you’ll be notified each time a member uploads a “batch” of photos. You won’t receive a message for each individual photo, but instead, for the series as a whole (ex. Joe123 uploaded photo(s) to your Group).

    I see “no activity” on a group that has hundreds of posts per week this time of year. What’s broken?

    @derry @Pail Kislanko,
    Things should be back up and back to normal– let me know if you still have trouble.

    There are lots of groups that are against the law on Yahoo Groups with lots of wrong files, nobody remove it.?
    The groups with lots of bad files include.
    nobody will delete them.
    Is there any manager on Yahoo groups to control these evils, if you see one, he/she is listening to evil’s sound on him/her self.

    Once again, I am not receiving any messages from my group and there are no new posts since last night. This is very unusual for this very large, active group. When will you have the problem solved??
