New Yahoo look and feel August 28, 2013, 06:34:50 pm Yahoo Message Number: 142304Folks, I've just been hit with Yahoo's "Neo" website makeover, and I'm pretty much crippled. I can't post via the website (I'm emailing this--hoper it gets there!), can't access management tools, can't see files (they are supposedly hidden under the "More" link near the top of the page, but that doesn't work for me) ... I can't even read messages! Some of what I'm seeing here is pretty obviously bugs that I expect will be corrected within a day or less. The format changes... well, I can't tell, because so much for me isn't working right now. Once these teething problems are resolved, I'm willing to give the new format a fair trial and see whether we can all get used to it.In other words, it's not time to panic.Yet. ;-) For now, let's stay calm and see what develops. Feel free to file complaints with Yahoo, using the purple gear icon at upper right on the website... if you can. at the moment, it doesn't seem to be working for me. And Yahoo won't let me change my email preferences for this group, so that I could use the daily digest mode temporarily until the fix the broken website. One other thing: is anybody else seeing a constant outgoing data stream from the Yahoo group pages? I use Net Monitor and Little Snitch, two Mac OS X apps that constantly monitor all incoming and outgoing internet connections, and they're showing me a steady data stream of about 20 KB per second being sent as long as I have one of our group's pages open. It doesn't happen anywhere else, including the Yahoo homepage. Can anyone confirm seeing this behavior? I find it very disturbing.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/

What do you mean, Andy? Like a bunch of messages being sent out all the time?

Re: New Yahoo look and feel Reply #4 – August 28, 2013, 07:53:31 pm Yahoo Message Number: 142309Thanks Andy, I am new to this Yahoo group, was using it daily for several days when all of a sudden this crazy situation appeared. Your leadership is appreciated. In the meantime, I went to your website and that is probably the most interesting RV blog imaginable, and must be extremely valuable to LazyDaze as it makes me even more interested in getting one someday.

Oh, lordy! So sorry this hit when you were just starting to get used to us, David. That must have been confusing as hell! Hopefully it'll all get cleared up sooner rather than later.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
