YGroups shutdown... In progress?


 

Just FWIW . . .

I've just finished unsubscribing from about twenty YGroups and noticed with several of those groups that the truncated messages showed in the TOPICS list on the message archives page. BUT... in the queue of the individual messages in that Topics list, when a message was clicked on it would load but there was no text displayed other than the subject line.

The only YGroups I've got left now are GMF and one other gardening group. Left them just to see what will happen when the Y!G conversion/downsizing gets into full swing. The way it seemed to me today is that it's happening piecemeal, affecting only certain groups. But how Yahoo is choosing which groups get converted first is a mystery.

Before I unsubscribed I sent a message to the group owners of several of my YGroups encouraging them to come setup a free, basic group on GIO. Hope that they'll consider doing so.

Cheers!

Paul,

BUT... in the queue of the individual messages in that Topics list,
when a message was clicked on it would load but there was no text
displayed other than the subject line.
I've been seeing that a lot in the last couple days. Generally refreshing the page will eventually cause the message body to display, but it may take several. I've had better results with Edge than Firefox, but that could be coincidence (I generally read in email, not on the group's pages).

The only YGroups I've got left now are GMF and one other gardening
group. Left them just to see what will happen when the Y!G
conversion/downsizing gets into full swing.
The plan is to keep GMF on Yahoo going in the new email-only era. I'll use some other facility (possibly YahooGroupedia) to host reference material which I used to cite just by pointing back to prior messages.

But how Yahoo is choosing which groups get converted first is a
mystery.
I don't think the deliberate removal of access is underway yet. I think what we're seeing with message body access is simply a manifestation of Neo's long-standing problem with accessing content in the face of server congestion or problems.
