Manfred,

When you say lockout, do you get the lockout message?

There is a known issue where you'll only get the first page of groups in the group list function. We'll be issuing a patch for this very soon.

Cheers,

Wilson.

On the menu "Groups" I click on "Get members for all groups". The process starts then some time later the error message 'you have been locked out by yahoo' displays.

Has nothing to do with retreiving my groups list to add or remove groups.

Getting members seems to work differently from getting messages. All member pages seem to be retreived always instead of comparing the members on each page and just updating.

Just how it looks to me - that may be overloading the yahoo DL limits.

Hi Manfred,

Because of members leaving & joining & the alphabetic nature of the memberslist, it must be completely reloaded to be refreshed. We must examine each page of members to know if any have arrived or left.

Yahoo allows you about 200 hits on the server before it kicks you. You used to be able to get 30 members to a page (ie one page = one hit). Now it appears you can only get 10 members in a page. I expect that this is the cause of the problem.

Cheers,

Wilson.
