Change to Groups Menu Items - 'Message' disabled

Most of you have noticed by now that on most Group screens the
'Messages' menu item on the left has been disabled. One of Yahoo's
better ideas (he said with extreme sarcasm).

This is extremely annoying and makes it impossible to move from a
single message back to the main Message List. It also makes it
difficult to reload and refresh the message list to see if new
messages have arrived.

Another of Yahoo's better ideas (again, sarcastic) is to have the
original 'sort' in descending order (newest at the top). That is good
when you first come to the group; you see right away that there are
new messages, but I want to read them Oldest to Newest. The quickest
way to resort them into ascending order (oldest at the top) was to
simply select the 'Messages' menu item, but, of course now, that
doesn't work because 'Messages' is disabled.

This is primarily a problem for those who use the Web interface to
read and send messages, but it is extremely annoying and a rather
pointless and purposeless change to the groups.

Consequently I would appreciate everyone sending feedback to Yahoo and
complaining about what a pointless change this was, and requesting the
all menu items remain active at all times.

Yahoo has made it very difficult to give direct feedback, but here is
a link directly to a feedback form. IF we complain, the WILL change it
back. When they previously redesign the interface, our complaints got
them to reinstate several features and made several changes. So, it
does work. 

Please help.

If this link does not work, at the top and bottom of every page you
will see a link to 'Help'. Select this and in the Search Text Box,
search for 'feedback'. When the search results page appears, on the
right, select 'Not Even Close' from the list of how effectively this
answered your questions. This will take you to the Feedback Form.

If you don't complain, you can't expect changes to occur. 

Thanks for the help.
