I thought I discovered a Yahoo Groups problem or bug
with using the [~] character as part of Folder or file names.
We moved our last year's team files to archive folders
that were named [~2006-2007].
This unique character was used as a prefix,
since this character is the very last
in the alpha sorting sequence....
the folders then appear at the end... like XYZ~.
However, when clicking on these [~] named folders
and attempting to click the old files contained within them,
we encounter an error - "404 - file not found".
I thought that Yahoo Groups was not properly handling
the [~] character, because everything works fine
when we rename the folders without the [~].
BUT - this is the weird part -
Every thing works ok when using a different browser.
Using IE 7.0 - gives me the error - file not found.
Using FireFox - everything works ok
Using IE 6.0 - everything works ok
SO - is this a weird bug between IE 7.0 & Yahoo Groups pathing ?
