It's up to you Steve, just let us know where you move
the list to.? Hopefully, we can still get the chit-chat via
email without going directly to a web site.

Group.io seems to work much better than yahoo groups. I am a member of Softrock40, they moved few months ago, and it is fine. Just my $0.02, Jean-Paul N1JPL On Feb 1, 2018, at 7:14 PM, Steve Greenfield alienrelics@... [Homebrew_PCBs] <Homebrew_PCBs@...> wrote: |

I have quite a few groups on Yahoogroups. All are experiencing intermittent problems.???Most of the tek groups have moved. The reliability has not been a problem. The only down side seems to be that the photo albums are not easily searched. I've not been looking, so I can't comment on that personally. Of the groups that I know of, nobody has insisted that the group move back. Not sure if there are levels of paid and unpaid service, though. Just heard a mention of it.

I would recommend that you disable comments in the Yahoo Group otherwise
it will be a mess with some making comments at Yahoo and some at groups.io On 2/1/2018 10:20 PM, Harvey White madyn@... [Homebrew_PCBs] wrote: On Fri, 2 Feb 2018 00:14:31 +0000 (UTC), you wrote:-- Cecil - k5nwa |
开云体育Steve,I am a member of a bunch of groups, some of which have moved from Yahoo to groups.io with no problems. The groups.io web GUI is certainly much, much easier to use than the Yahoo NEO interface. I have for several years now thought that Yahoo's insensitivity to complaints about the NEO interface is indicative of larger problems there. Using a facility that is dedicated to hosting forums makes a lot of sense to me. Continuing to use Yahoo does not. The one issue with moving to groups.io is the cost of storage. To my knowledge, it is not free of cost. However, I believe that it is relatively inexpensive, particularly is it was covered by a bunch of forum members contributed $1/bunch each. I certainly would support such a move. DaveD On 2/1/2018 5:14 PM, Steve Greenfield

I would??check out, "PG Offline 4" I have backed up my favorite sites with it. A great backup tool you can also transfer all the files to if you so desire. 开云体育 provides that as an option but yahoo groups seem to be going through some kind of abandonment.

Any site is of any use to me I use the PGOnline software to keep a
personal backup. Have you verified in in a doomsday scenario the backups can be used to restore a group at groups.io? On 2/18/2018 3:35 AM, Robert Sieg push222@... [Homebrew_PCBs] wrote: I would??check out, "PG Offline 4" I have backed up my favorite sites-- Cecil - k5nwa |
No, but they do offer backing up yahoo groups. On Mon, Feb 19, 2018 at 9:56 AM, Cecil Bayona cecil.bayona@... [Homebrew_PCBs] <Homebrew_PCBs@...> wrote:

开云体育With the yahoo's new policy, I'm abandoning my registered mail addresses. Consequently: no yahoo address no groups.I hesitated for long but yahoo is really sucking too much. That's a trade off. Too bad ! But I would really enjoy to find back these groups on another server. Please add my vote for moving ! Kind regards On 23.04.18 00:29, arvidj@...

I'm thinking to leave the group as I never ever used toner transfer after I tried it. ? I use presensitsed boards.? Black opaque image on clear photo set film, a 30 year old UV sun lamp... A photo tray with Ferric Cloride rocked back and forth to etch in my kitchen sink. Easy peasy and not so overthunk.

HI Don The reason some of the people here are getting repeatable good results and others like yourself not so good is a lot to do with the type Toner your particular printer uses I use the Samsung ML1680 which is a monochrome laser machine, now using third party Toner which works identical to the original and still gives me good repeatable transfer for through hole PCBs. If I needed surface mount or dual trace I would then consider other options because I have better things to do than wasting time on something that may or may not fit the purpose. All the best boys and girls Dave??
