OOC- lost in the post
Posted byPosted: Dec 9, 2005, 6:09am
Hello everyone, just recieved an email from Miriam saying that she
didnt recieve all the posts by email, and when checking the BD
yahoogroups site she can see more that yahoo didnt email to her at
the time.
Unfortunately this happens. So the official BD line on it is this:
We really recommend you check the posts on the yahoogroups site, as
Yahoo sometimes for unknown reasons occasionally doesnt send all the
emails out when a new post is sent to the group.
Theres nothing I can do, as its Yahoo's server that deals with it.
So i do recommend you use the yahoo site to check and send your
emails, this will reduce the amount of posts being "lost in the
post"!
Another tip, as this is something that some people moan about. If
you use the yahoo "post" page to send a message to the group (as
said above I recommended this more than sending by email) then you
probably shouldnt use this page to actually write your post, as if
you accidentally click the "back" button it may delete your post. So
I'd recommend writing it in MS Word (or similar text editor) and
copying it into the yahoogroups "post" page. Word is also useful
because if you have a computer crash halfway through writing a long
post, it *should* autosave it.
Some of you may have already figured this out for yourselves, but
just thought it was worth mentioning :-)
