Yahoo!

I have difficulties using YahooGroups! since 12 April 2006, and reported the problem via online help the same day. As of today, 13 May 2006, the problem hasn't yet been solved. In fact, I haven't heard from Yahoo! since 02 May 2006, even I kept seeking for their support. Yahoo! just ignores me. Better than ever? I don't think so.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.

This response was automatically generated based on keywords in your message. Please read the response below, and if it does not address your concern, reply to this email and we will investigate further.

If you are having trouble receiving messages from your group, here are a few things you should check:

First, confirm that the group exists and that you are a member. To do this:

1. Visit your My Groups page.
2. Look for the group name.
3. If the group name does not appear:
a. You were either unsubscribed from the group.
b. Or the group was deleted.

If the group name does appear:
a. Your subscription to that group might be set to "Web only/No mail". Choose "Daily Digest" or "Individual Emails" from the Deliver Options section.

b. There may be a problem with your email account. If there is an "email account is bouncing" error message near the top of the page, click on the error link for details. If there is no such bounce error message, please contact the Yahoo! Groups Support Team with the following information:

* The email address you use to receive messages from Groups
* The names of one or more groups you joined
* The date you stopped receiving emails from your group(s)

You may also want to check the group archives to see if there have been any recent postings to your group:

1. Check the archives to view the last posted message by signing into your account.
2. From the "My Groups" page, click on the group name in question.
3. Click on the "Messages" link.

This will display a list of all recently archived messages. If you do not see the "Messages" link, or if you are not able to click on it, then the group owner/moderator has disabled this feature for archiving. You will have to contact them directly to find out if there has been any recent activity. You can contact a group owner at:

groupname-owner@yahoogroups.com

(replace [groupname] with the name of your group).

For further online assistance with Yahoo! Groups, we invite you to visit the Yahoo! Groups Help Pages at:

I just figured out that the other group members who are also using Gmail do not have problems receiving emails from YahooGroups. I am the only one in the group who can't receive emails. What's the problem exactly? Wrong setup or what?

It shouldn't be wrong setup though. Of the 50 emails sent recently, I at least received 2. After that, I receive none!!! So it should not be the setup problem. What's wrong here?

month. Do you call this Better Than Ever? I have removedthe Gmail account, and invite to join again, and I still can't receiveYahooGroups! emails! If you are not going to offer any assistance,where can I get help?

Daryl,

I am a member of a Yahoo Email Group. The particular group I belong to was designed over 4 yrs ago as a support group for parents of children with Down Syndrome. For years it went fine. But the Owner disappeared. Back in Mid Aug we were attacked by a “ troll”. His yahoo id’s were many, and he was very clever. Setting our calendar to email us hate mail several times a day. We could not just Ignore him as we tried. We tried privately blocking his email. He just came up with a new one.
And continued to send vile abusive language, absolutely obnoxious comments and death wishes into our boxes. And finally he just apologized. Left.. and then came back even more angry than before.

Many of us began asking Yahoo for help. To please assign moderators.. as we could not get a hold of the old list owner. All her emails were closed. Our Group has over 1000 members. Not all are active.. but many check in regularly. Too many to just simply start over with a new group. Which is what Yahoo originally said for us to do. Block him.. start new group.. One of our group members has consistently believed that Yahoo would DO something. Her persisted. They even began Promising. That if we took a poll they would assign the winner of the vote to be a moderator. And yet nothing. NOTHING is done.

I began to wonder if the help was for real and so I did a Google on the email addy.. I was led to your post .. and your post alone. I don’t understand why they would tell us that they are going to do something.. but yet.. they do nothing. I am sure that they could fix the problem in less time than it too me to write this email. Below are just some snippets of Yahoo’s emails to our advocate. First they lost the poll results so we had to re do one. Then they claim the winners ID was missing or invalid. WE have been begging them to fix it since 8-20-2006. It has taken us this long to even get this far.
The incompetence is baffling. The dishonesty.. beyond belief. I am sorry to hear that you have not yet gotten satisfaction from them either.

Steph C.
