Hi all. I’ve noticed in the last few weeks that I can’t get anything to work if I try and access the CS80 (or other) Yahoo group via the web page. No matter what I click, it just says “Loading…” and does nothing. I can’t do anything - see messages, members, files, photos. I mostly access the group via email but if I need to do any moderator stuff, I’m stuck. Are groups going away? David

I had the same problem when that new NEO look was introduced few months ago. Then it slowly disappeared and now it works normally on my old G4 PPC Mac with OSX 10.5.8, and Safari, which I use for internet access. Maybe they improved something after numerous complaints. So I'm surprised to hear there's still problem. When there was that problem with Loading..., I have found that it's enough just to stop loading the page immediately after that message appears (right side in the window with the address) and that page I wanted to see suddenly comes. Then go back to the previous directory by browser arrows, not by selecting directories in yahoo group. Despite it works now at my side I don't like new look, and another problem is it's not possible to see a date when the file was uploaded. I have tried to make screen smaller, no chance to get it. And there are no scrolling buttons for shifting the page horizontally. Terrible. That was not the best idea from their side to change the design this way. Daniel Forro

It is nearly impossible for me to do anything (search, reply to messages) in the new yahoo groups using safari in 10.8.5. Firefox however does work. This does not take away the other negative aspects of the totally annoying new interface and the obnoxious way that every small step takes a number of other steps to complete. Perfect example of changing something that works just to be able to say you changed something. best D

And before they did it they didn't ask anybody if we wanted it. Such arrogance. Daniel Forro

Thanks for the feedback. I tried using a stripped down Chromium Portable on my Mac and it didn't get stuck at the "loading" message. I actually looked into building my own forum on my ISP using the PHP they provide but don't have the experience or time to set it up. I'd love to get the group off Yahoo. Anyone here know about setting up forums? We'd need the features (email access, files and photos uploads) that Yahoo has. I'm on Bluehost if it matters. David Sent from my iPhone

Hello David, I hate forums and I love mail lists. But tat is my taste. The unbeatable advantage of yahoo, is that they combine the web interface of a forum with the simplicity of a mail list. There is no replacement for yahoogroups.com (In our company we looked for some equivalent, but we didn't find anything - even not commercially). Florian

I have the same opinion. Sometimes I read some forums, but still didn't send even one message there... Daniel Forro
