For the most part the Windows help Groups were the most active until recently. Now I am seeing a lot of Yahoo problems being reported.
A big problem has been happening with photos, as the photos seem to be disappearing. Just a blank square where there used to be a photo. This issue has come and gone, but is what I see today.
Some of the photos for groups are gone. There used to be a nice picture here.
Perhaps the photos are on a separate server that is having problems and the problems will go away.
Not all are gone, at least for now. They come and go. Same thing happens with files.
There is no help for Yahoo Groups now, Yahoo help just refers to pages with old outdated problems. However, the old outdated problems are still happening, no reason given.
Verizon may be going through ‘growing pains’ with Yahoo Groups. According to Wikipedia as of August 2008 YG staff reported 113 million users, 9 million Groups. I suspect there are more inactive Groups than active. There are hundreds of thousand email accounts and a lot of them may be inactive as well. Since Yahoo was hacked, many users either deleted their accounts or just quit using them. From what I see and read though, Verizon does not consider Groups worth supporting, at least for now.
Since my main Group has now moved from Yahoo to a new host, Groups.io, I am reconsidering whether not it is worthwhile to put up with Yahoo.
I am not alone. Hundreds if not thousands have joined the Exodus from Yahoo and more are leaving every day.
When I try to edit settings, Yahoo shows an email address for me that I want to remove, but there is no way to find where this email is located. I have tried searching and searching to no avail.
It isn’t here on how to change your email address, Change Your email address for a Yahoo Group. Where is it? No one seems to know. I suspect it is on a server somewhere, but I have no access to it.
I have created an alias using my outlook.com and subscribed by email to the few Yahoo groups I would like to keep up with, but only one or two of them are receiving posts. I think Yahoo users are getting fed up with Yahoo, just like me.
So very soon now I will take the plunge and say ‘Goodbye Yahoo!’ I doubt I will miss it., well maybe just a bit.
