Question:

Groups folder name weirdness with [~] and IE7.0?

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 ?
