I have a question about how the feature requests are ordered in the displayed list. At first it seemed like reverse chrono, but now I see that two of the requests are consistently at the top ever after other requests are added, and my own requests seem to be no longer in reverse chrono order. What is the algorithm here?

OK I tried it, posted. I have several groups, all migrated from yahoo.

Let's settle on one location or another... since this is not complex, we should try a tool and if it works well enough, use it, instead of complaining about a particular tool.

As an aside, I would not mention I had never used bugzilla if I wanted to be perceived as experienced in software development, it's currently 6th overall out of hundreds in the market, and other than the top 2 in the market, it is withing about 1/2% of numbers 3-5.

I just realized this question will probably not come up or be as relevant once everyone has manually moved their old attachment files from YG. Won't we all be glad to stop hearing about movingYG stuff!  Soon, very soon!

Hello All,
I am uploading files that I downloaded from the attachment section of our old yg.
All the files show I.uploaded them, which is true. Members were given ample opportunity to upload their own so have no right to complain. They left it up to me so I am the one doing the time consuming task of uploading.But it would be useful in some cases to be able to show they own files that they took time to create.

So far I am doing that by adding their name to the description.  If they sent a bunch of attachments I put them together in one subfolder with a title like John Smith's Attachments.

But is there a way I can give them ownership? The way I am doing it is fine with me, but some people did actually put in some valuable time creating these files to begin with, not just copy and paste from a 3rd source.

Thanks,

Janis

Is that a promise or a threat? ;)

Hmm, that shouldn't have changed. I still get/see all the support requests.

As near as I can figure, I stopped getting the auto replies around the end of August, if that will help narrow it down any.  I did get one as a CC: in early October, but none since then.

That detail about your dad needs to be in the feature story, along with a photo of him laboring over a captcha 😊

Your Dad sounds like a great guy.  Please thank him from all of us for his patience and perseverance.   Barbara

The latest notice I received from Yahoo Groups essentially says that they are amazed and awed by the vibrant groups community-- therefore they are going to scuttle all online content.

Verizon should change the name from Yahoo! to Cuckoo!

Also, every day I am receiving yahoo so-called “final notice” about their latest “improvement/update” lol. This “final notice” has arrived about 10 times by now.

a question for the ages

It *is* a question for the ages, and for history. Someone, at some point, and preferably soon, should write a news story about it. :-)

With the great Yahoo Groups migration winding down

If you can (and don't mind), could you give us an estimate of the number of groups that used the Easy Transfer in the 43 day crush (though it seemed much longer)?  Several of us have played with the numbers based on things we can see and come up with estimates ranging from ~ 2000 to 6000.  Obviously not crucial, but a question for the ages.

Thanks,

I've submitted a few items, mostly bugs, and no longer get the acknowledgement auto reply with request number. 

I have a premium group and have experienced the same thing recently.

Why not be simple and mainstream and just use bugzilla

It looks to me like the setup and administrative time needed for that would be excessive and could well be used for improving GIO.  BTW, I've never worked in a shop that did use it.
