Three Bug Fixes

Three pieces of very good news on the bug front this week:

1. Yahoo!’s operations team has figured out how to redirect traffic around the "severed cable problem ", eliminating significant email delays for groups (note: there was a separate issue that began affecting some Yahoo! Mail users yesterday, but the problem would have affected their mail generally and would not be limited to Yahoo! Groups messages).

2. The problem preventing YMail/Rocketmail and Broadband Partner users from joining (and creating) groups has been fixed. The join process should now work for them in the same way as everyone else. They no longer first have to create an alias.

(Note however, that when these users add files/photos/links/etc., they will find that their full email addresses are exposed unless they do take the time create an alias (and then select that alias (or "profile") on the Edit Membership Page). See below for further information on how these users can create an alias.)

3. The "103 errors" that were affecting some dial-up users trying to add photos to groups (that have been migrated to the new photos platform ) has been addressed by increasing the time limits before our system generates this error. This change should largely eliminate this problem, although it may still recur in cases where a user is on a particularly slow connection and/or is trying to upload a particularly big image.

(However, the "sort problem" with albums on the new platform that was fixed in November has temporarily returned. It will be fixed in early January.)

Thanks to our engineering team for their hard work in getting these fixes in place before the Holiday lockdown on new pushes. Thanks to our users for their patience in working around these issues. And best wishes for a wonderful Holiday season to all!

Gordon Strause
Yahoo! Groups Product Manager

P.S. As always, if you’re still experiencing problems (related to these issues or others) and need help from Yahoo!, the way to get help is to contact Customer Support:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/groups/original/members/forms/forms_index.html

While we do read the comments posted to the blog, it is NOT the way to get help with individual issues.

CREATING AN ALIAS

FOR YMAIL/ROCKETMAIL USERS (and regular yahoo.com users)
- Creating an alias simply requires clicking the "Add new profile" link from the Edit Membership page
(the page can also be accessed directly by going to: https://edit.yahoo.com/identity/manage).
- Click "Add Alias" and enter your desired Alias in the box provided and click "Save" directly to the right. If the Alias you want is available, it will then appear automatically as an Alias. If the Alias is already in use, you’ll receive a message that says "This alias is not available. Please try entering another."
(Note: The Profiles Blog has some useful tutorials on this if you want visual instructions).

FOR BROADBAND PARTNER USERS (AT&T/SBCGlobal, Rogers, Verizon, British Telecom, Telecom New Zealand)
(though this may not work for Telecom New Zealand users)
- Go to http://manage.members.yahoo.com/FULLEMAILADDRESSHERE
(replacing “FULLEMAILADDRESSHERE” with their full email address. So, for example, if the user’s email address was jerry313@att.net, they would enter http://manage.members.yahoo.com/jerry313@att.net )
- Click on the "View My Profiles" link in the navigation at the top of the page
- Click the "Create New Public Profile" button
- Once finished, click the "Finished Editing" button

    Very good job to fix these bugs
    Now it wil be good Yahoo take an official position in front of GROUPLY

    this is a mail i sent to all my members
    Hi dear friends

    we have actually 253 members of Nubia_group using GROUPLY
    and i have the complete list

    this GROUPLY act against all rules of yahoo guidelines
    by asking you your password

    i took myself membership with a false ID in grouply to see exactly what is was about
    this is how i could find all the ID of my members using GROUPLY
    i can also see all the complete list of all the groups groups each of them are members

    by using GROUPLY YOU HAVE NO MORE PRIVACY
    i can see who is member of x,y,z groups
    even adult groups
    EVERYONE CAN SPY YOU AND YOUR HABBITS

    I FOUND ALSO YOU CAN AVOID THIS
    when you loggin in GROUPLY you can edit your profile and change for maxium privacy
    exemple hide to others the list of the gROups you are member etc

    clic on “my profile” then clic on “privacy”
    and add maximum privacy by showing all information for you only
    do this 1 by 1 on each line

    I HAVE 2 OPTIONS NOW REMOVE ALL THE 253 MEMBERS
    OR LET THEM I WILL THINK ABOUT IT

    but i recommand all to leave this GROUPLY who use your membership to spam the posting members of our groups by sending invitations
    and you spoil your privacy by showing to everyone all your informations.

    regards
    Nubia
    group owner

    Yahoo! is not connected with Grouply in any way, and we generally can’t comment on individual companies where we have no legal relationship.

    What I can point you to is our general statement about 3rd party sites and Yahoo! Groups, which we posted to the blog ten months ago:

    here is a mail i sent to GROUPLY

    — En date de : Lun 29.12.08, Nubia a écrit :

    De: Nubia
    Objet: grouply is a spamming site
    À: moderatorcentral@yahoogroups.com, moderatorcentral-owner@yahoogroups.com

    Date: Lundi 29 Décembre 2008, 14h01

    Hi
    i am Nubia owner of Nubia_group
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nubia_group

    i receive several complains from my members for spamming
    they receive non wanted invitation from grouply to become member

    this is violation of yahoo guidelines
    6.You may not use Yahoo! Groups for commercial or advertising purposes.

    your site in simply spamming my members
    i made the choise myself to hide my member list for their security, to keep their paivacy and to avoid spamming
    now you are using my memberlist to spam my members, this is not acceptable

    you also act against yahoo rules by asking your members their password, by showing to anyone their privacy, showing the complete list of groups they are members, who are their friends ect

    i inform you i removed from my group all members with a direct grouply ID, and each time i will receive a complain from my members because they receive non wanted invitations for grouply, i will remove and bann the grouply member

    SPAMMERS OUT

    thanks
    i read well what yahoo wrote HERE

    http://www.ygroupsblog.com/blog/2008/02/15/member-account-passwordsecurity-and-groups-3rd-party-websites-usage/

    “Groups owners and moderators should take every opportunity to protect their group members’ privacy and integrity of the Groups community and as such, Yahoo’s Terms of Service and Groups Guidelines should be referred to when dealing with all situations including 3rd party websites.”

    THIS GROUPLY ACT IN CONTRARY OF THESE RULES
    grouply ID should be banned from yahoo groups this is my opinion

    ultiple members of deleonism-list on 12/28/08 thru today 12/31/08 having trouble posting from both the web form and directly by email. Some members can post full length messages while others (such as myself) can only post one liners. The longer posts are acknowledged by the system when made but then they seem to simply go down the memory hole.

    The workaround for ATT.NET users does not work. There must be some glitch in the ATT.NET interface, because “View My Profiles” does NOT appear when you go to http://manage.members.yahoo.com/FULLEMAILADDRESSHERE (with the user’s actual email addy replacing the indicated text).

    I’ve also posted about this problem on the technical blog, so hope to get some feedback. Very frustrating problem!
