[pct-l] Complaining about Mountain Biker picture on PCT Section Hiker webpage

[Rob Langsdorf]

Sue and others,
 
    So far the only way I have found for complaining it to go to your yahoo mail and look down the left side. There is a icon that looks like a bubble of the type that is used in cartoons. When you run your mouse over it you are told that it is for "send Feedback". If you click on it you can get to a feed back page and then you can give them your thoughts. But it seems to be just for feed back about their mail system.
 
    The place on the actual group site that receives feed back is reached by going to the group and then clicking on the thing that looks like a cog on the upper right side of the page. This opens a box. The third item in the box says, "Suggestions". This takes you to a new page and the first item on this page says:
 
"Return Groups format to prior format that WORKS!
 
    The 56,312 is the number of votes that have been cast to restore the groups sites to their orginal format. I wonder how many votes it will take for them to do that?
 
                 Rob

Rob,
 
How do you complain to Yahoo?

The new format does is NOT user friendly and works poorly and destroys some of that attracts new members to my group. 
The home page is gone. People join my group to get photos of their dogs edited and honored by being posted on the group home page which is now GONE! Only ONE of the photos can be seen at ALL. 
The functionality of all parts of the group is severely degraded and NOT user friendly. 
I tried to reorder groups and the functionality is so bad as to make it almost worthless. I can ONLY scroll to the bottom of the list if I move something from the top 10 down, and then I can bring something back up, but then I have not way to get that top10 item back up without moving about 6 to 8 groups around to slowly drag it back up to where I want IT to be.
I cannot view photos attached to messages sent to the group. A thumbnail attached to the email does NOT take me to the photos. It takes me to somewhere totally wrong. 
When I click on Photos, I'm shown large icons of one photo from several albums, but even on mouseover, I am NOT given the album's NAME, so I don't know whose album it is. I can't get a LIST of album names to look for the one I want. 
"Messages" is replaced by conversations and there is NO option to select a specific month to go to in order to read messages from that month/year. There is also no Search window to allow me to do a keyword search for messages in the archives on any specific topic.
Files has the files almost in alphabetical order, but files are mixed with folders and that's less helpful than having folders at the top. 
Links has the folders at the top and the unfiled links below that, which is almost good, but they are NOT in alphabetical order and I cannot select what order to have them shown in. 
I'm not allowed to edit the opening "info" webpage like I used to edit the group homepage. Only ONE of the 3 graphics I created to honor 6 new group members is findable and you have to know where and how to find it. 
The group description is no longer editable! 
Members are all set to "default group policy" rather than "moderated" or "not moderated" and now I have to go figure out what YOU reset MY GROUP POLICY on message posting to. This is IRRITATING!
The Export function for the membership list is the FIRST thing I've found that is appealing and helpful. 
The Control Panel/About Group is where I can edit the DAMAGED copy (damaged by Yahoo) of the html code that used to be on my group's home page. 
The Control Panel/Access Control looks good, BUT YOU ALTERED MY SETTINGS without MY input or permission. 
The Control Panel/Group Settings appears to be ok, but it's one of the few things that I have no problem with.
Messages posted to the group are also coming through MUCH MORE SLUGGISHLY than before. 
I find NOWHERE any link to photos attached to emails, which was available. 
I find NO Spam Pending Email folder. 
I find NO option to change BACK to the format that you got rid of, but if I could put my group back to the prior format, I would DO SO IMMEDIATELY! 
You need to take member and moderator and owner opinions into account and return us to the prior format and not make such drastic changes with NO NOTICE and NO user feedback BEFOREHAND! I REQUEST YOU RETURN ALL GROUPS TO THE PRIOR FORMAT. IT WORKED! THE NEW ONE IS HORRIBLE AND MANY PORTIONS DO NOT WORK AT ALL.
