I finally got Yahoo Groups to fix a 2 1/2 year problem. <br><br>
On eGroups the JavaScript list was merely being "mirrored"
there, people could not join the JavaScript list via eGroups, they could
only view posts via a Web interface and also the archives. When Yahoo
Groups bought eGroups, they, without asking me, changed things so that
people could also "subscribe" via Yahoo, acted as if the list
was being hosted by Yahoo. Giving the list a split personality, one side
of which I no longer had any control over (could not help people
unsubscribe, change list settings to reflect list settings on the other
half, etc).<br><br>
I finally (persistence paid off) got this corrected. I can now administer
the list's Yahoo groups side. <br><br>
Instead of having this split personality for the list, and the added
complications to administering that causes, I am going to merge the
<br>
two halves together. I will be moving the Yahoo groups half to the LA
Tech half. Another reason is that the archives on the Yahoo side is
becoming smaller than the archives on the Tech server, the list reached
it's archive limit on Yahoo some time ago and thus all the old messages
were being automatically deleted. <br><br>
This will mean that some members will receive "you are
unsubscribed" messages followed by "welcome to the JavaScript
list" messages. For those that have set their list setting to
"no mail", unfortunately I will have to change that so that you
will receive this message. Some nomail settings were the results of
bounced messages, some maybe 1 or 2 1/2 years ago, during the time when I
was unable to administer the Yahoo side of the list and so some people
will have forgotten that they were on this list, my apologies for the
sudden mail. <br><br>
You can easily unsubscribe by going to: <br><br>
<font color="#0000FF"><u><a href="https://lists.latech.edu/mailman/listinfo/javascript" eudora="autourl">https://lists.latech.edu/mailman/listinfo/javascript</a><br><br>
</u></font>scroll down to the bottom to see the unsubscribe button. Put
in your email address and on the next screen enter the password that was
sent to you in your "welcome to the list" email. If you forget
your password, that page will also have a way to have it sent to
you.<br><br>
I very much apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.<br><br>
The Yahoo Groups side has been deleted. <br><br>
