Hi, I'm Jennie from Hot Springs, Arkansas. I guess before I can contribute any suggestions for the new system, I need to know what the new system will consist...
We were just saying the other day that we sure wish there was a way to make a moderators note on a members account. There are 3 of us moderating and over 750...

There are a couple of things that seem like usability issues that should be addressed. In larger metropolitan areas the number of subscribers (therefore the...
First off, I agree with the idea that moderators need the ability to make notations near a user's name. Just perhaps: 1) The mods should be able to easily...
Hi everyone, I'm Wes Eichenwald from AustinFreecycle in Texas. My group has over 6500 members and I have five co-moderators. Last month we started our own...
How about somewhere where mods can store 'canned responses' to common questions (how do I change my e-mail address/e-mail options; how do I post to the board;...
Hi Tim and group, I'm glad to see that option #1 in the message below is still on the table. My initial concern is breaking away from the Yahoo groups to go...
You definitely bring up a good point here. I was having lunch today with my group co-moderator and I commented that a lot of the moderators have spent a lot of...
Hallo group, hope this fine muggy evening finds everyone hale 'n' hearty. :) I don't think "don't fix what isn't broken" fits here. It *is* broken. I shan't...

Too many locations. I would love a central place for all my Freecycling needs (sorry, wants *cackle*). Currently I've got my local YahooGroup, I've got my...

I definitely agree with the KISS system, but I think #3 mentioned by Tim is easily overlooked by people that don't realize what kind of resources, 24x7 ...
Well, ya know... Yahoo! is *free* and that's a good thing. I've never belonged to any other groups prior to freecycle... do you think it really would matter to...

Deb, Is there a clear picture of storage and bandwidth usage of today's users? This would help to define whether considering anything outside of Yahoo groups...
