I would like to see this forum like 99% of the other forums out there.
Someone posts a new topic, and everyone who wants to responds under
that topic. Tight now the same topic line appears over and over, and
you don't know where it begins or ends. Someone might be answering
something from 3 pages back, but you wouldn't know it.
Let's get things changed to the "right" way!
Google mail separates out the various threads and it all works just fine for
me. The only wrench in the works occurs when someone derails a thread
without changing the title. Perhaps you read the posts at the Yahoo site in
which case I don't think anything can be done about the organization of the
messages.

The format isn't really a function of something the mods can change, its
more of a limitation of Yahoo Groups. Groups on Yahoo originally started as
a email-only service, it only later switched to the message board style. The
"topics appearing over & over" makes sense because that's how your email
works (and a message board does not). So, I don't think there is a viable
answer for the change you're looking for.

I believe the problem you describe would be solved if members were
careful only to use REPLY when they are talking about the same topic.
I notice that if a member REPLIES to a message, Yahoo will post the new
message in the same thread as the message REPLIED to even if the new
message has an entirelly different subject line.
I would like to see this forum like 99% of the other forums out
there.

There are two options for reading Yahoo Group messages online:
1. The default option is to read them chronologically as individual
messages.
2. Messages can be read by topic if you click on "(Group by Topic)"
at the top left of the message listings.
If you've got the messages grouped by topic, you can return to a
chronological listing by clicking on "(List as Individual Messages)".
Also, every online post lists every message in that topic / thread at
the bottom of the message.

Hmmm - maybe you would like to start up and administer a forum, so it
can be "right"?
