Hello there, here are the changes as explained by yahoogroups email to monitors so you can see the details for yourself and decide. I am hoping they have an option to change views between the new and 'classic' like they do with yahoo mail.
From Yahoo!:
Chances are by now you have read our blog post on August 13th: http://www.ygroupsblog.com/blog/?p=695
Your continuous feedback and support is vital to our success and that is why we are letting you know before anyone else the details of the exciting upcoming changes.
Starting today in the US, we're introducing new features and product updates to Yahoo! Groups. These changes will arrive in phases and will help you communicate and manage your groups more effectively.
Here's a quick snapshot of what to expect:
One place to do it all: Stay up-to-date and never a miss a beat with the new homepage. Click here to have a sneek peak: http://bit.ly/a1NLpH

And this is just the beginning of additional enhancements to come. Initially features such as Polls, Files and Links will remain the same, but we'll be improving them too, and adding new things along the way. Think of Yahoo! Groups as your improved home, and discover the beauty of each room as we renovate and add in modern accents. Stay tuned to the blog for news on all the upcoming changes. And please share your feedback on our Suggestion Board and the blog. As Group owners and moderators, your support is especially important to this transition.
We hope you are as excited as we are about these upgrades that will allow Yahoo! Groups to continue to be the best place for your communities to live â€" and thrive â€" online.
