Steve,

 

I was going to comment about the antiquated way of including pictures using the html codes so the modern way of just clicking on picture and uploading your picture will be good.

 

Personally I find it s sometimes difficult to deal with all the emails especially when several subjects are on the go at the same time. With the forum you can ignore a subject you know little about (means I should probably ignore then all )

 

If you need a hand doing the uploading of the archive material I m more than happy to help.

If the group wants to migrate to the forum on our web site, the forum software can be upgraded to make it more streamlined and easy to use.  Over 92,000 messages on the Yahoo group will be gone when they shut down, but fortunately I have archived the Yahoo database and will be working on a way to make the decades of technical information available on the TABC web site.  It's a long and difficult task but well worth it in the end. If the preference is for an email group like Yahoo, Groups.io is the best solution.  Our club has been using it for some time and it works like Yahoo should have.  Several other groups I've told about it have reported good results as well. - Steve Simmons, TC8975   On 10/17/2019 8:10 AM, norman verona norman@frenchblat.com [mg-tabc] wrote:

As one of the 'backup moderators' of the group I hadn't noticed this, but need to look closer.  

Perhaps it is time to make the rest of the transition to the http://www.mg-tabc.org/ forum started to replace this Yahoo Groups group several years ago.  Thoughts?

 

There has been virtually no activity in the ancillary parts of this Yahoo group recently.  https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mg-tabc/files, where items for sale, technical info, etcetera are posted.

 

One of the liveliest, interesting, and relevant MG forums I see regularly is the Triple M register (prewar MG Midgets, Magnas, Magnettes)  http://www.triple-mregister.org/. The other active forum I see is https://www.mgexp.com/forum/t-series-and-prewar-forum.46/.  Most postings seem to be TD and TF oriented, but it has the activity level and spirit that this Yahoo forum had many years ago. What are the opinions of the group on what our move should be?

According to the reports I've read, Yahoo Groups will continue to exist only as an email group. All past messages and uploaded content will be deleted by the end of the year. Yahoo has a long history of making its users really annoyed! - Steve Simmons, TC8975 On 10/17/2019 9:24 AM, 'MIchael L. Stokes' stokes@aris.net [mg-tabc] wrote:

Hi, I read (https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN31010.html?impressions=true):   What features will go away?       Files     Polls     Links     Photos     Folders     Calendar     Database     Attachments     Conversations     Email Updates     Message Digest     Message History   This means: All the message history will vanish.   I prefer emails, because these come automatically.   In a forum you have to login actively to do anything. The result is: Many look into a forum as soon as they search for a solution to their problem. But only a few login to the forum to answer questions. I see this in many forums: Many questions without answers. In an email system you get emails automatically and might give an answer to a topic which is now not interesting for you, but for someone else.   If other groups have a good experience with 'groupe.io', I opt for this solution.

Just for clarification, most forums now offer the ability to "Subscribe" so that you are alerted by email of any new postings. Clicking the link in the email takes you directly to the forum, topic or post, depending on how you have it set up. - Steve Simmons, TC8975 On 10/17/2019 5:10 PM, 'Peter Forstner' fope@fomail.net [mg-tabc] wrote:

I tend to agree with Peter’s view on the value of emails versus the use of a forum. Not only will emails trigger answers being provided more readily. But there is yet another effect of emails: emails can make you aware of potential issues or improvements concerning your own car that you had never thought about before.

I think we should use a system which provides the same functionality we get from Yahoo, I.e. all posts delivered to the group by email.

I can then continue to sort them to a folder in my Outlook inbox.

I can see how many new posts have been delivered and can then look through them when time allows.

My vote is to migrate to io groups. I am also a member of other groups that have moved to io and, as others have said, it works as yahoo should. Regards, Bob.

Group. I agree with the general sentiment. I like the continuous email feed. I use The MG Experience Forum often, but as someone pointed out I go there when I have a question or an issue. I rarely hang about to help others...if I see a question I can help with of course I chime in but that happens rarely. The continuous email feed keeps us all in touch. The MG-TABC website is where I go first for tech articles. I'd like to see all our data moved there and then continue as an email list. I'll be here one way or another, this group is such a valuable resource Cheers, Ross [b]From: [/b]"Frank Graham frankgraham@msn.com [mg-tabc]" mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com> [b]To: [/b]"mg-tabc" mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com>, "norman verona" norman@frenchblat.com> [b]Sent: [/b]Thursday, 17 October, 2019 09:06:11 [b]Subject: [/b]Re: [mg-tabc] Re: Yahoo groups - dying?  

Norm, What I like about the group messages is that they turn up immediately in my inbox in sub-folders I have set up for each of my groups since I opt for individual messages rather than a daily digest. I find it a lot easier to navigate my email on my phone than going to the forum on the TABC website.

My vote would be to use the TABC forum. The site is already setup for technical documents and it s not that difficult to add pictures to the forum post.

 

I can t think of any other section, it already has all we need (I think)

Group.

 

I agree with the general sentiment. I like the continuous email feed. I use The MG Experience Forum often, but as someone pointed out I go there when I have a question or an issue. I rarely hang about to help others...if I see a question I can help with of course I chime in but that happens rarely.

 

The continuous email feed keeps us all in touch. The MG-TABC website is where I go first for tech articles. I'd like to see all our data moved there and then continue as an email list.

 

I'll be here one way or another, this group is such a valuable resource

 

Cheers,

Ross

Norm,

What I like about the group messages is that they turn up immediately in my inbox in sub-folders I have set up for each of my groups since I opt for individual messages rather than a daily digest. I find it a lot easier to navigate my email on my phone than going to the forum on the TABC website.

 

Frank

My vote would be to use the TABC forum. The site is already setup for technical documents and it s not that difficult to add pictures to the forum post.

 

I can t think of any other section, it already has all we need (I think)
