Hi Mark! Neither the calendar nor the event editor show me the time zone I'm in. I think at least the calendar ought to. The display of the time zone in the calendar may as well be an affordance

Thanks Mark, would you explain about the bi and monthly notices going away when the calendar is active. Will the notices then be sent from the calendar entry? If yes, our notices that go out to the

That's the feedback I've been receiving from others as well, and I believe you're absolutely correct; we need a mobile app. Mark

​Hi Mark,​ ​No - a private FB group gets only group traffic, so a small group is a quiet backwater. ​ ​Yes. The group I mentioned that has both FB and Yahoo versions has a wide

Mark, I think the experience with Yahoo Groups' calendar proves you right on that. Of course they failed every opportunity to explain it clearly, so there was likely more confusion than needed be. I

Thanks Shal. I must do some research to find out what the rules are, and then try to adjust the hit counters on my site accordingly. Jim -- http://www.jimella.me.uk - my personal web site covering

I have a private family only group so the setting is "archives are visible to subscribers only". That's the way I want it because the group is restricted to approved members only. I understand that

​ Hi Mark, Good. I've got a Yahoo group for which I created a parallel Facebook Group. My intention was for people to tinker with FB to see if they liked it. The FB group now gets much more traffic

Mark, as you can imagine, I didn’t know half of what you were talking about, but when I read where Yahoo Groups started out as your creation, I was totally impressed. Wow! Thanks for sharing

Hi Mark, thanks for the note. You definitely have a non-nerd here! Sometimes thing are being said and if we non-nerds don’t understand what is being discussed, it hard to say that will or won’t
