Amie,

 

Not Ian, but I've used Yahoogroups for around 8 years.  Well it was One
groups then Egroups and for the past 6 years or so it's been Yahoogroups.  I
find it fine for any admin tasks.  It's fine to view, add, remove, modify,
block members.  It's also quite nice for sorting out members who's addresses
are bouncing mails.

 

When compared to say Freelists if you aren't a Server Admin type of person
it's very user friendly.

 

Cheers,

Barry.

Ian, how do you find Yahoo, from the mod's point of view?  Is the tb list
easy to administer?

I don't think this is true any more.

So once you've approved someone they can roar in, saying whatever they want?
I'm not one for heavy moderation; emphatically not; that sounds a bit edgy
though :o) 

Thanks for the tip; how sure are you about it?

As I recall, and I haven't used it for a while, you can't set it up so that
new members messages are moderated.

Cheers

Hi Alex,

 

Why is googlegroups a pain?

 

I've never used it but just for fullness, a few examples would be useful.

 

Cheers,

Barry.

Yahoogroups, in my experience googlegroups is a pain up the arse.

Cheers

Hi all

Wonder what you would recommend as the most accessible option, using JAWS
10, for setting up a closed e-group.  Yahoo?  Google?  Something else?

Thanks for any advice.

Amie
