where do missing messages go? nklr

I've twice, just today, typed two replies to replies to two of my
original posts (man, that's quite a sentence!) and not had them show
up on the board after I got the "Your message has been posted"
notice. Each time I read the reply to my earlier message (which
posted fine) and just hit 'reply' in the upper left corner, typed
the reply, then hit "Send" (and then got the "posted" notice).
Am I doing something wrong or just going crazy? What really freaks
me out is I've been posting on these darn Yahoo and MSN groups for
several years. Aargh...I'm losing my touch...Or out of touch...or...
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment...

Yes Les you probably are---when you hit the reply
button----before sending, look up at whats in the "To" line.
It needs to say :
DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com
I remove what it says in the "To" line and copy and paste the
above--which send it to the whole list instead of just one person.

To expand just a bit on what Mark has said, the way Yahoo structures the
list mails, if you hit reply you will send your reply to the poster, not to
the list. You need to modify what's in the 'To:' field before sending to
get it to post to the list.

Hi Mark...thanks VERY much! I jumped over to the other 6 yahoo
groups I'm a member of and had a look-see; every one of them
defaults the reply messages to the group, not the poster. Because
of that I never got in the habit (shame on me) of looking in the To:
field.
It's simple though since the Drop Down Menu there let's one select
the destination.
I always knew this KLR list was "different"!
[That's a good
thing, BTW]

Hi Don,
Thanks for the follow up...I did follow what Mark said and your
response clarified it.

Which brings up the question: WTF are yahoo forums so difficult to
use?
- searching does not search the entire archive
- forum is set up to sort by time of posting instead of thread
- when you switch to thread sorting, it's difficult to find and
navigate threads
- have to scroll the screen to get to all the navigation buttons/links
- as mentioned, posts don't reply to the group by default

Which brings up yet another question. One of the pull down "eply to"
options is
DSN_KLR650-owner@yahoogroups.com.
Who is this? The list moderator?

Hey Mark, thanks for the extended thread. The posts near the end have got me
thinking that I'll just stick w/ my bulbed siphon hose w/carb nipple tip and
shop towel retainer solution will remain my solution, for now. The IMS tank
I have is translucent, so I always know how much gas I have, and it only
takes a few minutes to rig up my 'butt ugly' solution.
