Re: AOL truncates message titles, causing lack of threading
J_Catlady
Yes, the subjects in my group tend to be very long. I thought about counting the number of characters but haven't had time to do that yet. I'll try to get around to it. My main efforts so far have been in the direction of continuing to beg and plead with this member to switch to gmail for the group. She's the last holdout (there are a couple more, but they use mainly the web for the group). J |

Re: AOL truncates message titles, causing lack of threading
J,
It happens every single time this member posts. It seems that AOLEvery time? I haven't seen the behavior so I'm not thinking that AOL does this to every reply. Does this member only reply to messages with lengthy Subjects (perhaps all message Subjects in your group are lengthy)? Or am I missing something? Sometimes, just one letter is cut off at the end. Other times, aI'm curious, not that it matters, but can you tell if there's enough consistency in the behavior to state a rule like "Truncates Subjects longer than (say) 72 characters"? Shal |

It happens every single time this member posts. It seems that AOL allows message titles to be only a certain length long, and then it truncates. Sometimes, just one letter is cut off at the end. Other times, a whole phrase. It had me stumped for awhile, because when you first glance at it, it LOOKS like it's the same. But if you look closely, there's a character missing at the end. Etc. J? |

Re: AOL truncates message titles, causing lack of threading
J,
Just a heads up. I've noticed that every time my last holdout AOLWow. The one example I happen to have at hand of a reply from an AOL member (using the AOL UI and not Apple Mail or iPhone Mail) doesn't include either an In-Reply-To or References field. (The Apple products included both fields.) And, that message didn't include any quoted material - the only evidence I have that it was a reply at all is the Re: at the front of the Subject. So there's pretty much no hope of knowing that it was a reply. Maybe consider it a Subject match if it matches within the length that it is, ignoring the extra length of the existing topic. You might send the example (group name and message numbers) to [email protected] along with that suggestion. The other thing that could break a subject match (but I've only seen this out of Yahoo, I think) is HTML vomit (e.g. changing apostrophes into the ' aka "& # 3 9 ;" without the spaces). Shal |

AOL truncates message titles, causing lack of threading
J_Catlady
Just a heads up. I've noticed that every time my last holdout AOL member responds to a message, it starts a new thread. I've figured out it's because AOL is truncating message titles. So this is another problem with AOL, in addition to the automatic unsubscribes created by its poor spam processing. J |

You can currently only delete photos one at a time, but there's a bulk delete function on the to-do list at the Trello page (where Mark keeps track of things to fix or improve.) To delete an entire album, go to the album and there will be a Delete Album button at the top. Duane --

Re: Can Owners Change Members Email Address
No, there's no way for anyone other than the member to change it. They can change it if they can sign in to the site instead of creating a new account. On any page, at the upper right, they can click on their name, then select Account. It will show the email address they are using. To change it, enter the new one and click on Change Email just below it. They should receive an email to confirm the new one. If they do it this way, they're still associated to any posts, files, etc.

Re: Can Owners Change Members Email Address
J_Catlady
开云体育ps The downside of that method is the new email address won't be connected with the proof ones's membership page and actions. So better if they can do it themselves. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 27, 2017, at 3:27 PM, Nicole <groups2manage@...> wrote:

开云体育Yes, they have to do it themselves. Your plan is what I usually do if the member can't figure it out. J Sent from my iPhone On Mar 27, 2017, at 3:27 PM, Nicole <groups2manage@...> wrote:

Can Owners Change Members Email Address
Nicole
Hi everyone! Is there a way that owners can change members email addys? I don't know but I think members have to do it themselves. If so, what do I do, send her an invite at the new email, once she joins remove the old email from the group? Nicole P.S. Thank you Shal for answering my questions the other day. I will reply later. I never said thank you and I didn't want you to think I was being rude. |

Re: Can a Topic be Muted?
开云体育I find the Mute option at the end of the footnotes Sugar ? “I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.” ~So Blessed,Sugar ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of weebeequilting ? I thought Mute Topic was a choice at one time but I can't locate it. ?Maybe it went away with one of the changes Mark made. ?When it did exist, what did it do? ?I have Locked a Topic recently but I was wondering if Mute would have accomplished what I needed. ?
