Just A Minute

Yes. But, I was a little confused, in one place Yahoo says “Sending/Receiving email functionality is not going away, you can continue to communicate via any email client with your group members”, and then under “What features will go away”, Yahoo lists “Email Updates” and “Message Digest”. I thought those were the two features which distribute emails to list members? Right?

Testing, testing...  is this thing on?

I gave this update yesterday but people largely didn't seem to notice.

Which includes this info:

What features will go away?

Files

Polls

Photos

Folders

Calendar

Database

Attachments

Conversations

Email Updates

Message Digest

Message History

(None of us seem to use these features much anyway.)

What will happen to the site?

The Yahoo Groups site will continue to exist, however, all public groups will be made private or restricted. Any new group members will need to request an invite or be invited by an admin. Admins will still be able to manage various group settings, though some functionality will be limited.

So, do we continue with business as normal, start a forum on Dean's site or elsewhere, storm parliament?
