I agree with Donna. I don't know what activities on the other list, if any, contravene Google's Terms of Service, as I'm not subscribed to it. However, if you think the decision was automated, and if there's nothing obviously wrong or illegal in the content of the posts, then maybe the time has indeed come to move the lists elsewhere. I would hope those decisions are made by human reviewers, but, these days, that can't be guaranteed.

I hope you feel better soon. Best, Donna On Jan 5, 2025, at 10:21 AM, MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> wrote: Hello All and Happy New Year! I am posting this to both lists because I can’t remember where I saw a couple of posts to which I will be responding. On Christmas morning, I was hit with a terrible case of the flu. As all of the urgent care facilities in my area were closed, I spent Christmas morning in an E R. That was a first, believe me. After 9 days or so, I am finally beginning to feel better although I am far from being back to normal. A couple of days ago, without warning, Google informed us that the V iPhone group contained posts that violated its terms of service. They did not tell us which posts these were but they did automatically remove them and then placed us on what is essentially a suspension. From what I can tell, they removed about 14 posts or so. I have sent a review request to Google so the list should be back up and running in a couple of weeks, or so. Yes, I know this is ridiculous and yes I know we should probably move the list to another service. The last time this happened, by the time Cara and I decided to move the group, the original list was restored and well, you know the rest. With regard to Amazon.com and VoiceOver: I am finding the web version of the site to be extremely difficult to navigate on iPad OS 18. As of last night, I could only purchase a Kindel title via my iPone running iOS 18. I just don’t get why VoiceOver doesn’t work as well as it once did with Amazon.com in Safari, on iPad. When I use my Windows PC, the web portal works just fine with Jaws so I am truly baffled. As for the Amazon App? I am not experiencing any problems but then I haven’t purchased anything via the app since updating to 18.1. I have not yet updated any of my devices to 18.2 because of Watch 11.2 volume problem. Keeping this in mind, I have noticed that when I reboot my iPad Pro M4, the messages app displays contact telephone numbers but not the associated names. This only occurs on my iPad. Yes, I know about deleting and then restoring the contacts but this only works until the next reboot. Is / was this a known issue in iPad OS 18.1? Finally, does anyone know when this year’s CSUN convention will be taking place in Anaheim, California? I will do my best to begin posting some interesting articles as soon as I feel a little better. As always, all replies appreciated. Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
