Hi Tom,
I know we have discussed this previously but I wonder if anyone else on this forum finds Yahoo Groups to be inadequate for this type of group.
The interface is far from intuitive and lacks a real ability to cope with a full feature, and ongoing, discussion about a single thread subject.
There is no ability to post images in a message, and images are truly worth a thousand words when language, especially when related to technology, may be a barrier.
You can't even find your own posts if it has disappear off the current main page.
I could go on with the list but wonder also if anyone else has the same view of Yahoo's inadequacies for the job we want it to do.
There may be other, better options, here - http://asymptomatic.net/blogbreakdown.htm
I looked at Serendipity and it looked good but others may have different ideas.

Hi Ross,
 
Yes we're certainly open for suggestions.  I apologize for using this Yahoo forum as the search doesn't work (It doesn't find things within the last year or more).  I even tried running a script to extract the posts to a file that would be searchable but Yahoo detected this and banned me from all Yahoo forums for a time!

Hi guys,
I have been using PG OFFLINE for Yahoo groups many years and I am very happy with it. Have a look at http://www.personalgroupware.com/
how it works, if you go for it please let Wilson Logan (author) know that I recommended you.
Cheers Bengt

Bengt,
 
Great program I bought it $24.95.  There is also a fully functional trial version.
 
It allowed me to make a full Digest and I copied it here:

Hi Tom,
Glad you liked PG Offline reader, it is very useful as you can see.
When it is time to archive you go from last message in the first archive and make a new one. That is good service Tom, thumbs up!
I have been making copies of my databases this evening just to be on the safe side if MrMurphy comes here :)
Cheers Bengt
