Stop. Making. Changes.
The number of items “removed (at least for now)” is DISGUSTING.
The remodel is unworkable.
Go look at the comments attached to the blog post you folks made when
you announced the changes. You’re getting buried there.
Stop building yourselves YahooFacebookLite and leave well enough alone.

So now I can’t read the entire message, but have to sort through the
pile of stuff I’m not interested in? Nice “redeisgn” folks. You’ve
taken all the utility out of the groups and replaced it with visual
noise.
Please add an option for those of us boring stick-in-the-muds who want
to see the whole message and its thread at one time.

I absolutely HATE the new format. I need my group messages listed in
date order – not subject order. I want my messages listed in order by
date and time. This is confusing and hard to read. PLEASE go back to
the old format. When you have something that works well, why change
it? I am very unhappy about this and will probably stop trying to read
most of my group list if this is the best that Yahoo can do to present
them.

This new format is awful for what my group of 33,000 members for 7
years are accustomed to, what happened to the rich text for posting
messages, being able to format links, embed photo’s or just to be able
to use html?
No group description or being able to customize home page???
Will there be option to opt out and keep our old format if we were
happy with it??

Design team – now you’re getting buried on the Suggestions Board too.
Have you looked at that? Or is it Miller Time?
NO ONE WANTS YAHOOFACEGROUPSBOOK. Or any such Frankensteinian
assemblage. Are you listening?!

For the love of Pete. What are you doing at Yahoo.
This new format is terrible. Why not give group owners the ability to
return to the older (user friendly) format.
Do something good for a change and return to the other format.

It took 2 years to recover from the previous “makeover” :(
I own techical/scientific groups of 10,000 members and 3,500 members.
I have owned these groups since before YahooGroups existed. In fact,
many of my members got their Yahoo ID because of a need to participate
in my groups.
Please do not betray all the group owners and moderators by destroying
what we have built over the past 12 years.
We don’t want a Facebook style or any “social networking” style.
We only want to be able to communicate with each other simply via text
seamlessly on email and web. We will put up with some advertising and
be very loyal if you don’t keep messing us over every few years.

Geepers if I want facebook I would use it. I don’t like the change at
all. I find all the things in the postings to be excess. We talk about
things pertinent to the show and want to keep it that way without all
the excess additions. We use the KISS program and enjoy it from what I
see. BTW KISS is keep it simple stupid. The one aspect we do miss is
the fact we can not have chat. We migrated from the old original yahoo
clubs and members are allowed to hide their addresses making us unable
to have a chat room. I hope with this new format we can opt out if we
do not want to be a part of it.
