Different groups have very different needs. One of my groups is for television service repairers. The idea was that someone would post a help request for a fault on a set. When on Yahoogroups the

Hi All, A couple of comments, in list form: 1) There is logic to the Private button being grey. It's not active. When you press the button to active a private reply, it changes color. This is in

Actually, according to my screen readerthe button does say "reply to sender." Does it not say that for you guys?

Mark, I think that was probably the issue in my instance of this. I did not explicitly visit Followed Topics but I had to click on a "confirm" page to unfollow a topic, which may have somehow been

Hi All, I'm not able to reproduce any issues with this. If you see something, please send a message to support with the steps to recreate. I did just make two changes. - If you visit Muted or

If you recall, YahCHOO! used a more descriptive way (via the pull down) which I think (CRS) were these options: Reply to group Reply to sender (or possibly it was or included the username or masked

Exactly!

To me it's fine. This is howmost forums I've ben on work so I'm used to the change and have ben usign this for 2-3 years on groups.io when I visit the web interface which is rare, maybe 2-3 times a

Jeremy, What Your Groups link? I'm not seeing any such on the Topics or Hashtag views. Unless you mean the Your Groups drop-list in the logo bar. I've not seen any misbehavior with it. But then I

Oh, sorry, I think you were referring to the button. I wouldn't mind the button being changed to "Offlist" either. Then the button name and the word at the front of the message would match. I also
