Dear forum members,

We’re an international group (US/Australia/New Zealand/South Africa/Germany/Belgium/The Netherlands) that is set up to create tags from tutorials and challenges. We send them to the group as .jpg, .png or animated gifs, with or without a html-script. Our group language is English.
With some of our members we are currently testing our creations at io-groups whilst maintaining our core group at Yahoo. Some of the creations are sent to both groups to compare.

We’ve encountered a couple of problems that I would like to tell you about here.
First of all: I’m the group moderator, from the Netherlands and English is not my mother tongue so bear with me.

Our observations:
Firstly: We managed to more or less tackle the placement of the io-groups links to suit the needs of our group, so that problem I wrote about two weeks ago is solved (more or less).

However the test group does not receive the creations the way they were sent off.
Some of the creations are being sent to both the old YG *and* to our group at io.
* Animated gifs don’t work properly.
* Images are scaled down to a degree that the sender’s original creation is badly visible (colours are ‘muted’)
* In some of the e-mails received the images do not show up at all and only x-es are shown.
The funny thing being that some of the testing members receive the script perfectly well at e.g. 637 kb and other members receive the same mail at 9 kb (just the text and html).

Our posting limits are set to 1mb per e-mail.
We have sent original creations back and forth in e-mail as attached .zips to view the way they were intended (scaled down, of course) to compare those with the way we receive them in our inboxes.
We have compared operating systems, e-mail clients and geographical locations to see if they make a difference.

In order not to affect our core group members’ creativity or the quality of their creative output we will continue testing a bit more before we take the plunge.
We still consider to join io-groups as the rest of your performance is wonderful –but I cannot ask our members to join yet...

We would love to have these problems out of the way.
Do you have any suggestions that may help?
Maybe I can change something at the group’s settings I’m not aware of as yet?
I can provide zipped examples to the group owners if necessary -I noticed previous attachments were stripped to this group.

Thank you very much in advance for your input!
