Is there any ETA on when all remaining Beta groups will be switched back to
Classic format? I thought the switchover was to be completed by June 1, but I
noticed that this group as well as our two remaining Betas are still unchanged.
Not that I won't miss Beta, I just want to see what we have to fix, if anything,
after the switch ;) Thanks!

[MODERATOR NOTE: The engineer who was going to be leading the charge on this has
been focused on some other projects. But our expectation is that he will free up
enough to be able to complete this next week. But while I would bet on that, I
wouldn't bet my life on it.]

Hi everyone,

I just posted to the Groups blog with the following message:

Yahoo! Groups Beta Testing Complete

Back in March I posted to inform all of you who had been testing the Yahoo!
Groups Beta that we had completed our testing and encouraged everyone who was
using the beta product to move back to the classic Groups product.

To recap, we are planning to take all of the feedback you have shared with us
and the lessons we’ve learned and incorporate these things into the classic
(or original) Groups product in an evolutionary way. We’ll be sure to keep you
posted on the latest developments here on the Groups blog, so please stay tuned.

In the meantime, we will migrate all beta Groups over to the classic Groups
product by June 1st (impacting only .01% of Groups users who are members of a
beta group). We will begin this migration the week of May 26th.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to post below in the
comments area.

We greatly appreciate all the time and effort you all put forth in testing and
providing feedback on the Groups Beta. We gained a great deal of valuable
insight and will work to incorporate as much of your feedback into classic
Groups product as possible.

Best,
Jami Heldt
Groups Community Manager
