Some of you may already be aware of this, but I'm going to mention it anyway.
Yahoo has been having some problems with some groups being able to search through old messages properly. It's been a problem for years, and they've patched up the system several times. It now apprears that they have a new system that works pretty well.
Right now, if you go to the Papercreters Yahoo website, and try to search the messages, you'll quickly discover that many of the most recent messages won't be found in a search. The oldest messages appear to get found.
There are a few clickable links on the website by the search bar that explain this in more detail, feel free to click them and learn more if you so desire.
HOW YOU CAN HELP.
It appears that Yahoo is upgrading the search function of groups based upon how many people rattle their cage. The more people that report difficulty searching the Papercreters messages, the more quickly they will upgrade our group's search function.
So... I'm asking everyone that has an extra 30 seconds CLICK the following link and complete the survey.
http://surveylink.yahoo.com/wix/p6290938.aspx
The answer to the first question on the survey is:
papercreters@yahoogroups.com
The second question is a simple checkbox. Click what's appropriate for you.
The third question is your email address. Please use whatever email address you currently have registered with Yahoo for your group memberships. If you are reading this message via email, use the email address that Yahoo sent this message to.
It's pretty simple.
Hopefully they will hurry up and fix our search utility so everyone can more easily dig through the over 8000+ old messages to learn whatever they can.
Thanks for your help.
