bboyminn:

I did send a complaint and got a response that said they were
aware of the problem and working on it. Now, just before entering
this group, I found an email asking me to fill our a customer 
service survey.

I will note at the last big set of changes, we were able to 
get them to add, return, or modify things they had changed, 
so their is some hope.

Another problem I noticed is that the text no longer wraps 
properly when you view a message. It usually look something 
like this -


The list is very high volume, so to keep your inbox from 
overflowing, 
you may wish to set your membership to "Special Notices"
and check the posts here.


Regarding the 'New Graphic Site' virus, I think it only works with
Yahoo Mail, so it shouldn't effect your other programs. Maybe you have
another virius, update your virus files and run a scan. It also
wouldn't hurt to run and Ad-Aware scan. Also, I'm pretty sure that
'Graphic Site' virus is a JAVA script, so run your JAVA console from
the [Start][Settings][Control Panel] then select the [Java] icon, and
either 'Clear the Cache' or 'Delete Files' depending on the version
you have.

Before you do this make sure any 'New Graphic Site' emails have been
deleted from your Inbox AND from your /TRASH/.

Also note that I use the web interface, so the group isn't sent to any
of my email accounts. 

To get around the confusion over Read/Unread message marks, I just
open a new TAB from the main message list. Mozilla's Tabbed Browsing
is really nice. When I am done reading, I merely close the Tab with
the post, and go back to the main list. But still when I am reading a
post, the other post listed underneath in the thread list are not
marked as Read. So, I have no idea what I have and haven't read
without going back to the main list, and even doing that sometimes
it's hard to find the correct thread post to read next. 

I will note that never in all the time I have been using Yahoo Groups,
which is many year, never have the Read/Unread list for Topic and
Message been coordinated. Read messages in one never appeared in the
other. Still, there must be some way to fix it, it's making keeping
track of the group next to impossible.
