Hi all! The French Yahoo group is not accessible anymore. When reading the contributions the page switches automatically to a login page. It seems that only registered users accepting all the coockie crap and respective private information can read it from now on. Very sad!

Cheers, Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Which group are you trying to access? I can still read these groups without logging in

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/spec ... s/messages
http://www.spectro-aras.com/forum/

The only spectroscopy groups I cannot read without logging in are

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/astr ... scopy/info
http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/RSpe ... scopy/info


Cheers
Robin

Hi Robin, it's http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/spec ... s/messages
As soon as I scroll down, it switches to the login page. It's always the same with these company news groups.

That is strange. It works fine for me. Try my Star Analyser group. I know that is set so anyone can read posts without being a member or logging in

OK I am now seeing the same problem. It looks like there is a problem with some Yahoo groups which were public being reclassified as restricted in error. Hopefully a temporary problem. I think the ARAS forum is better than spectro-l these days though.

Even if this is a bit off-topic - As we discuss this problem I just got an email invitation to another astronomy Yahoo group (a colleague sent it). The funny thing is threefold: First, no information about the inviting person (just by chance I know the email address ). Second, I am requested to register again (with personal information, of course). Third, this morning I read an article about Yahoo, Google etc. starting an initiative against NSA data collection.

I guess you are right, Robin, ARAS forum might be the better choice (the server is in France). But it remains not very user friendly. :(

Cheers, Thomas

Hello Thomas,

The problem should now be fixed on both the staranalyser and spectro-l groups. You should once more be able to read the messages without signing in

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/spec ... s/messages
http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/star ... s/messages

I suspect Google already knows more about us than the NSA do and probably knows us better than we know ourselves :shock:

Cheers
Robin
