I see no reason why this suggestion is a bad one. More generally, in some circumstances it might be useful for a group Owner to be able to force a particular subscription option and not give the

If a member wants no mail, they should subscribe with the no mail option. Giving subscribers 2 different options that offer the same result causes confusion. Subscribers wonder why they receive no

I think this is a bug. In the web interface on a PC, when writing a new message or a reply, there is a toolbar across the top of the text editing box, with 'buttons' for text formatting (bold, italic,

Group owners might decide in the future to use Special Messages. For 17 years on Yahoo!Groups, our group never had Special Messages. It wasn't policy; there just was no reason to send any. And then

I don't understand - whether they select "Special Notices Only" or "No Email," they're still not going to get anything via email. Pete

What's the problem if they receive no messages? Why do you care? A lot of people access their groups only via the web. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My

Hi Mark, in responding to a query on Group_Help, i just found that members that do not have permission to upload new files still see the button with the drop-down menu to do so but each option does

I needed to edit and resend a message in a locked topic this morning, but got a red banner "This thread has been locked by the moderators; edits are not allowed." Is this a new bug, or a conscious

Andy, As my message was addressed to Mark, I’ll await his sage thoughts. I see what you say but beg to disagree‘

Thank you, you are a gem x

Hi, I have been updating our database for a few years ow by importing updates from a CSV file. Today I had a new set of updated data to import and i deleted the old data. The file will not import and
