Let’s just face it guys – it’s time to leave Yahoo. They’ve become so “competitive” (I think that’s still the buzzword for incompetent) that they can’t fix anything.

How’s Google groups doing?

Anyone? Or someone else – it doesn’t matter really who it is as long as it works.

Well, It’s still not working!!! it’s now Jan. 20, 2010 and they said (back on May 8, 2009):
“…We appreciate your patience and are happy to inform you that we will begin moving over all of the groups who have reported issues with the message search feature in the next two weeks.”

My groups still have at the top, Yahoo’s message, “Having problems with message search? Fill out this form to ensure your group is one of the first to be migrated to the new message search system.” and when you fill out the form/survey it directs you to this Blog. Then you have to search for the “New Search solution” to get here and you don’t know any more except you just wasted 30 minutes for nothing.

Looks like they could at least give an update in the last 7-8 months on their two (2) week migration.

Are you EVER going to re-implement the message search function?? The old message search might have been clunky – but it was better than this NOTHING that we have now. I am a member of 40+ groups and NOT ONE OF THEM returns posts later than mid-March for any search. This is getting really annoying…

When will search be (re-)implemented? I am in several groups and I have responded to the blast message and survey on several occasions. Nothing – absolutely nothing – has come of my efforts. The message search returns nothing, regardless of how specific or how heneral the search argument is. For example, one of my groups on Software-defined radio will not return any results when you search for radio (a term that is in nearly every message!)

This is ridiculous.

This new attachments feature has screwed everything up. I can’t attach anything now with the new or the old system. NEITHER WORKS. Who can help me with this? It is very important as I am applying for jobs right now. I am REALLY FED UP.

We are having difficulty with the new Yahoo Groups. When I send out a message WITHOUT an attachement, the message still says there is 1 attachment.
Then I get a slew of messages from people asking me to resend the attachment – of which there was NONE!
How do we solve this, I cannot find anything in the FAQ or HELP files.
Thanks!
