invalid page when it shouldn't be!

[Wilson Logan]

Hi All,

Drat... it never rains but it pours...

There's a problem with the 'Get Groups List' feature probably related to this Yahoo format change.

We're working on it & we'll issue another patch ASAP.

Cheers,

Wilson.

I DLed the latest version and tried it.  It worked one out of 80 times I tried it.  It seems that my YahooID is blocked from Yahoogroups now (maybe for some sort of hammering?)

When I tried to connect to any page on yahoogroups via the web, I kept getting this page that says: "This page is currently unavailable   
Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later."

Then I thought hmm, maybe they blocked my IP, so I connected through a porxy with a different browser.  I could connect to the yahoogroups homepage, but when I tried to login with my YahooID, I got the same error (This page is currently unavailable   
Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later.)

I asked a friend on Yahoo who is on one of my groups if she could access it via the web (the only way she uses Yahoogroups), and she said yes, no problems.

Fannie,

There is a thread just concerned with the Yahoo limit here:

I will send you privately the advice I give to new registered users regarding this issue.

Cheers,

Wilson,

Would you please send that info to me, as well. That's one e-mail I never got when I registered.
