Changes to the Minutus YahooGroup - Posting via Email!
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2020 12:38 pm
Every time a whole bunch of individual messages get sent out from the YahooGroup, I get a whole load of emails asking me to remove them from the YahooGroup. The latest "SOS" topic brought in a lot of complaints and we lost a load of important members including some who had been posting themselves until recently.
In order to prevent further damage to the group, I have been forced to restrict posting to the YahooGroup so that only the Daily Digest can go out as arranged.
Posting to the forum and even the Minutus groups.io group have not been affected and posts there can continue as before. The best way to reach the entire group is simply to post on the Minutus Forum. I sent out posts with videos only yesterday, explaining how to do that. Posts to the forum are sent out via the digest to the YahooGroup and as individual emails to groups.io.
The forum unfortunately does not have the technical infrastructure to accept posts via email. phpBB forums have been in use since 2000 and none of the developers found this to be an important feature in all these years as it is so easy to post online or via the app.
I have obtained a quote from the programmer to add this functionality to the forum. It would have to be specially programmed to add this functionality.

P.S. If you have problems logging into the forum after following instructions, send me a message with a list of all the email addresses you used on the YahooGroup and I will help you to get logged in. I will keep supporting your group until the end of April, after that I will ask Soroush to take over.
