Yahoo message boards to be eliminated - Dee Lusby?

[beemandan]

I was just reading an article about Yahoo eliminating their message boards. I wonder how that will affect Dee Lusby’s?

Perhaps you could post a link, or where you saw this article? I can't find anything that suggests Yahoo is eliminating Yahoo Groups.

Well, Yahoo Message boards indeed will shut down March 31. You can see for yourself at this Yahoo link:
http://messages.yahoo.com/

But Yahoo Messages is not the same product as Yahoo Groups. Note that there is no similar message at the top of this Groups page:
http://groups.yahoo.com/

Dee Lusby is writing as part of Yahoo Groups. I see no evidence that Yahoo Groups is shutting down.

I didn't know there was a difference. Thanks for the information.

I also had no clue that Yahoo Message even existed as a product, and I am a member of about a dozen Yahoo Groups.

The Yahoo Groups user interface is poorly done, IMHO. It was created way back when email was the "new kid on the block" and has had only token updates since. But in spite of Groups issues, it seems to get a lot of eyeballs, and I'd be surprised if Yahoo just summarily shuts it down.
