Hi Pete,

I'm seeing the same thing.

I will get on it right away.

Cheers,

I had a similar problem with some (but not all) of my groups today.  I then went to

groups.yahoo.com

to look at the recent messages in the groups that did not download.  I did NOT see the normal list of my yahoo groups.  There was a link that said something along the lines of "Click here if you don't see your groups listed" (that's not verbatim).  When I clicked that link, I got a page that read:

We're Sorry...
We are unable to complete your request at this time. We are aware of this problem and are working on a resolution. (code -9997)

If you continue to receive this error for more than 48 hours, please contact our Customer Care team. We apologize for this inconvenience.

So it could be something Yahoo-wide, and not just something that only breaks PG Offline

Hi Epod,

Yes. I am able to download all my groups this morning so it does look like a temporary Yahoo server problem.

Cheers,

Wilson.

ed a subscription fee. You bought the program on the understanding that it is a flat purchase.

That's nice to hear and thank you for that.

I naturally have an aversion to subscription-based services but the $10 charge isn't high, so I think you might make it work. When I spend $60 on an antivirus program and have to spend it again next year, I think that is asking too much. A $10 per year subscription is reasonable. Possibly a small discount for using PayPal if their cut is less than a credit card company might charge.


As for PGO, there are open-source alternatives (a couple, perhaps), but they are not good ones (in my opinion), are not supported well, and take a lot of expertise to make them work. They are not a simple solution like PGO.
