I do not agree.. except my own email to groups. I have had very few to the ispam folder. It is a pain going back to the inbox after you read a message and...
[Moderator: GMF is not a Gmail help group and makes no attempt to be one. Heck, I use Gmail and STILL don't like it. <End of line.>] For those who might...

Here is a Group that shows as having 0 members: http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/EastEndersFanClub/ Will Yahoo remove this one? [I found this one when reading...

We are fighting a losing battle trying to get members of our Group to NOT sign up in Digest Mode. It just does not work well in the type of Group we run, and...

AH HA! We finally come to the nub of the matter. It is absolutely clear that owners (and Yahoo!) own the group and not the membership. This is not likely to...
i agree with you al to a certain point yahoo should contact the group owner before they zap a group so it gives the owner time to sort out what is wrong. yahoo...
bill, Thanks for the thoughtful response. Some more points to consider. 1) Y!G is, i believe, meant to be for casual uses. If i remember correctly, commercial...
Just curious why anyone find this topic worthy of so much interest? If the group is inactive a) why does anyone care how long it takes yahoo to get around to ...
The "delete forever" button seems to work just fine for me. Not sure what the issue with the trash is honestly. As for Ygroups being marked as spam ... once...

Bill and Al, excellent messages. I cannot agree with you more. Yahoo! Groups is a Free service. They owe absolutely nothing to anyone who is not paying for the...

Hi, might be a question that has been asked 1000 times before, if so I appologize. I did recently find out that a moderated, cause new, member was uploading...
Put the links to your group in your yahoo profile under *cool links*. Join similar groups, post, make friends, then perhaps invite your new *friends* to your...
I belong to 10 groups, 4 of which I either moderate or own. I am on *individual mail* on all groups. Each group has had posts this morning, a couple more...
