Re: Editing messages
Er ... I did think about it actually. It¡¯s non-optimal because if users can¡¯t make minor edits to their posts without reposting the whole thing, then either the ability will be abused and annoy

Re: Like a message - purpose?
I didn't think I'd want or use the Like button (since there's no Dislike button ;>), but have since found a use for it. I use it to reduce the "me, too" or "thanks" posts. I want folks to know that I

Re: Editing messages
The good thing about Groups.io is that it also saves the original, so you can click on the Edited button at the right to see what happened. A moderator can delete the original without also deleting

Like a message - purpose?
I've done some digging here but don't come up with anything - can someone help me with what "liking" a message does? Other than showing when messages are being read on a group's page, is there any

Re: Editing messages
One of the first setting I changed when preparing my group was to not allow users to edit their posts. Not only do you get into problems such as you describe, we've had instances (long ago) where it

Re: Editing messages
I find it absolutely necessary. Think about it. Mods need the ability to control after-the-fact posts that people have already responded to, etc. It's just an unfortunate "side effect" of the fact

Re: Editing messages
This is exactly why many of us (including, eventually, Mark himself, in the beta group) have disabled editing in our groups. We had to fight hard for the disable option. J Sent from my iPhone

Re: Editing messages
And now I can answer my own question, as I'm not a moderator on this group and there was a typo in my initial post ('reposing' instead of 'reposting', quite accidental I assure you!). Indeed I can

Editing messages
The ability for users to edit their own posts is potentially quite handy. But I had a case last week where a user edited his post six times, making trivial changes, and it went to the group every time

Has the GMF Yahoo group Migrated to io?
Hi everyone, I'm really behind the 8-ball. I notice that all my GMF emails are not yahoo. My real question has to do with the ATT Yahoo email accounts. How can I find out if it affects me. I don't

Some email clients truncate the subject. I use Pegasus4.63 and that chops the subject to 35 char. OK, Tony

Re: AOL truncates message titles, causing lack of threading
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

J, Every 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

Re: AOL truncates message titles, causing lack of threading
Shal, I'll do that. And BTW, it's not "the example." It's examples, plural. It happens every single time this member posts. It seems that AOL allows message titles to be only a certain length long,

AOL truncates message titles, causing lack of threading
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
