I own or am a member of a handful of yahoogroups. I too was really annoyed with the new format. They claim it's so you can see neat details about your listserve; but really, the only thing that goes there is advertising.

YOU CAN OPT OUT OF IT.

At the bottom of your yahoogroup messages (e-mails), scroll to the very bottom. There is a link there to:

Change settings via email: Switch delivery to Daily Digest | Switch format to Traditional

You will want to switch the format back to "traditional", which is the way they used to be sent. If you click on that link, it should open up an e-mail for you to send back to the server with an automated request.

Or, you can log in to your group's page on the website, click on the "Edit Membership" link towards the top, and then scroll down to "Step 3".

I hope this helps!

If you have your own chapter website phpBB is a good, free program that can be uploaded to your server and allow complete, in-house management of a set of forums quite like these here.
