The new format lists each entry in its own html box with member name below. So instead of being able to see all posts (and person posting) stacked, single-line, at a glance, now you're forced to scroll down through each entry. The main listing now takes up 4-5 times more space before you even get to the actual messages! Looks like I'm switching my viewing preference from "Fully Featured (New and Improved!)" to "Traditional." (Assuming that helps…) |

Yep, lame new format -- did they even marketing test this "better" format?? |
| Tom Reed | 28 Jun 2012 7:29 a.m. PST |
Of course not, just like Facebook. |

I dunno…
I always kinda thought they were crud to begin with.
The ones I go to drove me nuts…

Old Yahoo Groups are terrible! |

I'm confused. If I click on a post it shows all the threads and much of the reply for each poster. Is that how it works for you? I have mine set to view by topic. Thanks, John |

Finescalemodeler has made a similar change, which may be great for mobile devices, but which involves sparse information and an awful lot of scrolling in a regular browser… |

No I think he is talking about the email digest you now get. |
| Farstar | 28 Jun 2012 3:53 p.m. PST |
The new email format is awful, especially in digest format. I'm switching all of my subscribed groups to "Traditional", in the hopes that Yahoo actually tracks such things and will be able to tell that no one likes the new formatting. |

"Full Featured" email is what just changed. |

For years now, I've just read my Yahoo Groups online at the website. Why clutter up your e-mail? |

What Flintloque said, for most of them …. (I think blogs have taken a lot of the good content from Yahoo onto more a more digestible platform) … I only take email delivery where I feel obliged to (and then I stick with 'traditional') Phil |

You could try starting groups on 6sided. We have the functionality. It is much more "facebook" style, with inline replies and all in a nice long conversation, rather than having to do tons of clicking. If logged into 6sided you can reply instantly inline as well. Groups can also be private if you want. Have a peek at the blog owners group as an example: link Cheers Jaz
