ravencallscrowsFuck Yahoo and Yahoogroups.
I went in this morning to change all my egroups from my ISP mail account to my domain mail account. Sounds innocuous enough, right? So, i switch them all over from the old one to the new one, and click the submit changes button. The Yahoo system returns a database error, and says to try again in a few minutes. So i wait a few minutes, and try again, same problem. Log out, log back in, try again. Didn't get the error message, just a list of groups, some showing the old address, some the new one. Only about a third of the groups i'm on show up. One of the absent ones is an invitation-only list which is currently without an owner, another is a list on which i'm the only active moderator, and since the list was originally high-traffic, it was set up as moderated.
Just sheer joy. Yahoo support blows chunks - this from a three-year battle to get them to take down a GeoCities site i formerly owned, but had pretty much abandoned since they wouldn't let me change the contact e-mail to one i still had access to after we changed ISPs about five years back- so i'm not anticipating they're going to do anything in the near future.
Now i'm cranky *and* without most of my daily mail fix.
