Why is it that when something works great some bored idiot in product development decides they need to fix it. Quickbooks recently changed .. . . "improved" . . . their program and I am still fighting through the new payroll procedure. Intuit (Quickbooks) even insists that I pay the idiot for his "service". Maybe it is me. Maybe I am just too old to deal with new developments. Maybe it is a symptom of early dementia, but I really have a hard time understanding how changing the color of the print, the sign in procedure, or changing the the damn format is an "improvement." . . . Perhaps it is dementia. . . after all, isn't raging against the world a symptom? Craig TernV1519
It all started with the invention of color. Things were great before then.
Sorry, I couldn't stop the sarcasm from escaping, but I really agree with

I have for some time have been thinking about unsubing from all boat
groups. I have been talking and reading posts so long there seems not
much new. This new format kind of makes me tired. Doug

Yes almost the whole page id off topic with a little strip of Vega posts
down the middle. In my last post is said I may unsub from boat lists.
Actually not the Vega list what I meant was the more general boat
lists. Doug

So, I'm not alone ;-) Anyone figured out how to page directly to the next message instead of going back to the messages list and choosing the next one? Oh, and does anyone have an email address for Yahoo development department so we can b*tch about their latest folly? Peter www.sintacha.com
I think you are mis-attributing the blame. When I "round up the usual
suspects" I go for management.

Mayer Shines At Yahoo After Spotlight Dimmed At Google
Yahoo has redesign some of its major sites — the latest step in CEO Marissa Mayer's dramatic turnaround of the Internet company. Before Mayer interviewed for the job at Yahoo, her career at Google appeared to have stalled. Renee Montagne discusses this with Nicholas Carlson, who wrote a profile...

I don't use the pages. I get the group emails directly in my yahoo mailbox, so I haven't noticed a change. Tim
I didn't realize how deep the problem went. I'm plagiarizing (with
permission) from another Yahoo group:
"... If you happen to be unfortunate enough to get the new neo format on
the Yahoo web portal, you will find that searching the archives is no
longer an obviously simple task.
I had to research it due to a query on another group.
When in CONVERSATIONS or MESSAGES, type your querry in the top box that
says SEARCH GROUPS. It will search the posts for content, but not so the
box saying SEARCH MESSAGES. Genius at work there...
Let's not go into the bad and ugly of this interface on this list, just
keep it focused to the use of the list/interface as needed. ..."

In the process of changing the picture now. Not the best shot, but
it is at least better than the dude on the bike.

OK, Just happened to drop into the library prior to departing Craig and noticed this thread. Thanks Peter and everyone for noticing and commenting. I have made a quick fix to the header photo and title. That is the best shot I have of a Vega under sail. If anyone has a better one please send it to me or Steve. I don't think there is anything we can do about the other changes but we will look into it when time permits.
It's not very hi res, but there is a nicer photo at http://www3.telus.net/sailing/UnderWay2.jpg Peter www.sintacha.com
much better! I seem to recall some shots of Vegas racing on a lake in Amsterdam? Those were spectacular. Richard
