Yahoo! Groups are slow lately
Posts to Yahoo! Groups are acting very strangely in the last few days.
Small delays of up to a minute between the time you post a message and
the time it shows on the group were always common. It’s understandable,
it’s a large service, with a huge amount of users.
But on the last few days it’s terrible. Some posts still find their way
to the group nearly instantly, but some don’t. And those who don’t can
be delayed for hours, for no obvious reason. I had posts
waiting about 4-5 hours until the appeared on the group, and saw posts
that waited around 12 hours by other people.
The behaviour changes from post to post, so I can’t find any obvious
cause like poster identity, thread topic, keywords, time of posting, or
whatever.
I try to imagine a method of queuing system that would have such
results, and can’t. I don’t have a clue what is going on there, and
what is their problem. I just hope they fix it soon, since it’s
becoming very annoying. You can’t have a conversation when a certain
percentage of the posts just don’t show up until way too late…
