xx BB4W Yahoo site
« Thread started on: Oct 23rd, 2013, 07:51am »

Location is http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/bb4w/info

I've been waiting for 6 weeks to get back in to the yahoo site and found nowt on google and nothing if I try searching from another Yahoo site I visit and nothing if I trawl through yahoo computer/internet groups

If it hadn't been for a small link at the bottom of the wiki site I would NEVER have got back in

So if you're noticing a drop in activity... don't be surprised because it's almost impossible to find the place

The Yahoo group is closed. There is no activity there. That's why I have deleted links to it.

Should Yahoo fix the major bugs in the Neo interface I may consider re-opening the group, but that currently seems unlikely. Indeed things are moving in the opposite direction, because Yahoo have just closed off all the backdoors into the classic interface.

This is the only online forum where official support for BBC BASIC for Windows can be obtained.

Richard.

What about all those BB4W files?
Hundreds of hours of human effort

Is there a mirror site anywhere?

Or somewhere in here?

And if there is, do you have a link please

The Yahoo files area is still accessible:

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/bb4w/files

Unfortunately it is no longer possible to link to individual files, so the Tools/Addins and Libraries folders are mirrored at the Wiggio group. For example version 1.3 of the Version Info utility can be found here:

http://wiggio.com/yui/folder/stream_file.php?doc_key=6NM5buAXR5UoC30cR44VECxtyWrxvzKWjQEbEoP+zyw=

There are links to the Libraries from the Wiki:

http://bb4w.wikispaces.com/Libraries

I would suggest that any new files are uploaded to Wiggio rather than to Yahoo so that a link can be published. Also, I believe the files at Wiggio can be accessed by everybody, whilst those at Yahoo are accessible only by members.

Hello Richard.

If you were a member of the Yahoo group it should have happened automatically; perhaps your registered email address is no longer valid.

Anyway there's a link to the Wiggio group at the top of the Conforums front page, in the 'BBC BASIC for Windows Resources' panel (the only value in joining is to be able to upload files).
