Yahoo Groups

Since the changeover I have been unable to access any Yahoo groups, every request for a password results in the new homepage opening and I cannot see any further links to groups. Any clues please?

You might want to try the direct link http://uk.groups.yahoo.com but it looks like different customers' accounts now behave differently. Perhaps it's a quirk of how BT are doing the migration away from Yahoo?

The connection was interrupted
The connection to groups.yahoo.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
THE CONNECTION IS OK - BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT FIREWALLS AND PROXY THINGS BUT I GET ALL THE OTHER SITES I LOG TO!

I am having difficulty in reaching certain subfolders within Yahoo groups after getting rid of yahoo hijack but can reach them using I.E.

I can login to Yahoo groups but when I select the required sub folder the display resembles a DOS screen

find the culprit and remove it from add-ons

From one of my yahoo groups all the messages come thru appearing from the same person. Why is this?

I belong to several yahoo groups and use the filters to send them to their respective folders. Lately with one group, all the messages appear to be from the same person, which I know is not true from looking internally. I've looked on my providers site at my email, at at the groups site, they are that way so it's happening when it comes into Thunderbird. Running version 24.6.0.
Thanks Dwight from WI

They aren't in the address book. Anyway I went into the config editor and set something to false and it took care of the problem. Don't remember what it was. Something with "Show" in it.
Thanks for your time!

How do I set command-click to open link in new tab in Yahoo Groups?

Yahoo Groups (neo) seems to disrespect a lot of user commands.
On other pages it works, but on Groups it simply opens it in the current tab.
Also, when I search, it won't find things that are "off the page" downwards. Only things that are scrolled off the page "upwards."
And whenever I go "back" either from their arrow or FF back arrow, it goes to the TOP of the message list. So I have to scroll scroll scroll back down looking for where I was.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance

On Yahoo Groups, Internet Explorer show a clipboard function for posting photos. When using Firefox the clipboard doesn't show up, so you can't post photos.

On Yahoo Groups, using Internet Explorer, one can use a clipboard function to post photos to messages. When using Firefox, the clipboard doesn't appear and you cannot post photos on group messages.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

Not showing recent messages in Yahoo Groups

I have noticed in the past week or so that messages to a couple of Yahoo Groups are not posting promptly. Right now Firefox is showing me no messages posted since 7:17 a.m. even though I can see in Internet Explorer that messages have been posted at 8:37 a.m. and 12:36 p.m. that have not yet shown up when I view the Yahoo Group in Firefox.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Unless the email account supports push access for received email, push being on or off makes no difference.
Push is supported with a Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset, with an Apple iCloud account, and with an Exchange account?
If the account is a POP account, are you also accessing the account with an email client on your computer that remains launched and running actively checking the account for new messages which your iPhone is doing the same?
If yes, what is the account setting with the email client on your computer for removing messages from the server after being downloaded?

How to, login into the yahoo groups/clubs,....

Hi,
I would like to write a offline browser utility to follow up my yahoo groups and clubs.
I took several attempts before I wrote this mail and I discoverd that it are the redirections and cookies that cause the problems.
Does anyone know a class capable to download a URL dispite of cookies and redirections?
I tried with the swing-brower that comes as example with the JDK but he has also problems with the cookies and redirections.
Greetings
Frank

An alternative to a Yahoo Group?

Does business catalyst have an alternative to a Yahoo group? I think it is called 'many to many'.
If not, are there any plans in the future for such?
If not, does anybody know of a good alternative?
Thanks for your help.

No. And I'm sure it will never have it.

Safari and word wrapping in Yahoo Groups

I have just discovered that the reason why all my Yahoo Group posts are horribly formatted is because I am using Safari. As soon as I use Internet Explorer it works fine. Is this a known problem, and is there anything I can do about it.

Hi
This is an on-going Yahoo problem. Same formatting problem occurs in Firefox. As you discovered, the best remedy is Internet Explorer.
You may want to contact Yahoo via their customer support link. However, given Yahoo's anti-mac/safari position over the past xxx years, I would not expect a reasonable answer.

How can I upload a doc from my ipad to a yahoo group or a google group?

I need to upload files to a Yahoo group and a Google group and also download files from those groups. I can download a doc attached to an email and edit that doc. I can then email it. But I cannot upload a file, though it asks if I want to upload a photo.

Yes, iOS and Safari support uploading only Photos. I've not used it so this is not an endorsement, but others have reported that the iCab mobile browser has this feature though.

Yahoo Groups messages not rendered correctly

Is there some issue between FF and Yahoo Groups ?? I'm a member of several Yahoo groups, one of them often sends messages with graphics in them; and lately these messages are mostly blank when I look at them in FF. If I use IE or 'Chrome' they appear to be as intended.
(Incidentally these messages, when viewed as emails in Thunderbird, also don't work right.)

Weird behaviour of Thunderbird update 31 with Yahoo groups forums

Hi there;
I will do what I can with my basic English to explain what's wrong, but I'm posting here because French forum didn't help;
So;
1. Everything was working fine before update "31
2. I have several accounts in my Thunderbird but my default account is subscribed to some Yahoo groups forums;
3. Since V31, When I try To reply to males from one of these forums, the reply's sender is different from this default account the mail was sent to, and I have to change the sender back to my default account manually for each reply; This doesn't happen with other mails I receive;
I know it sounds crazy, at least for me, but can you help,
Thanks,
JPR

Thunderbird bugs can be reported [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi#h=dupes|Thunderbird here].
Before submitting your bug report please do consult the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/contributors-guide-writing-good-bug Contributor's guide to writing a good bug report] first.
It would be ideal to be running the very latest Thunderbird nightly to try & reproduce the bug, and also mention when you noticed it, perhaps also link to this thread.

I am not sure if this is a Firefox issue or Yahoo, but I am trying to transfer a picture from an obit to a Yahoo group and I can't get it to move over, it either comes up with a url or logo words. Am I missing something?

I am not sure which issue this falls under. I am posting obits to a yahoo group and when there is a picture or flag it won't transfer over. I am not sure what to do to correct this.

Nope, though it did allow me to get some missing songs back onto my iPod. That's something. But neither "Back in Black" or "Dirty Deeds" show up anywhere on the Touch. Could this be because iTunes has no deal with AC/DC?
Quite frankly, at this point, I'd really rather not have the "ease of use" of iCloud attached to the iPod. It's not like I change my playlists that much. It would just be nice to get what I want onto my MP3 player. Not sure which one it was: iCloud, Music Match or the Air Port but the only real result of all the $ I plunked down is seeing all of my Wife's 231 Christmas songs popping up on my laptop. Really don't want them here. She SURE AS **** is sick of seeing all of my stuff on her computer.
Thanks again.

Shuts down when entering Yahoo Groups --npYState.dll is only located in Mozilla's block list in 2 locations? Obvioiusly they either are not blocked or there is another problem?? Please advise

When opening Yahoo Groups Firefox immediately shuts down. NSBrowserOpt.dll is not in the component file........
npYState.dll is only located in 2 locations of Mozilla's Blocklist.
Obviously these files are either not blocked or there is another problem not addressed in the Help topics???

I think this problem may be caused by Yahoo's changes making it incompatible with the klatest version of FireFox.
This is suddenly affecting many many people who use Firefox and are members of Yahoo Groups. All these people say they themselves changed nothing and have not been locked out before when using Firefox. But suddenly, within the last week, they are.
What did Mozilla do or what did Yahoo do to cause this problem? I can say that I was not blocking cookies and after trying a number of things to fix it, I went to Yahoo's home page and navigated to my group from here.
This problem is not anything a user did. Either Firefox is at fault or Yahoo is. I want to know which company is at fault and when they are going to fix it.
