You could maybe get a straight version from Bootstrap v3.3.6 (http://getbootstrap.com)
You'd think so, but no luck. So I took the existing file and cleaned it up with the Brackets editor, then ran it thru my hex editor to replace all the Unix line terminations with CRLF.

It now resides in the GMF files area alongside the original.

Re: Poll results

 

If you use MS Word, you can create a table from the text of the results pretty easily.
Drag your cursor over the results (starting with "1.") to select the text of the results.
In MS Word, open a new document and "Paste - Keep Text Only" to paste in only the text.
Should have something like this:
1. Yes, I would attend.
100%
17 votes
2. No, I would not attend
0%
0 votes
Now, select that text and do Insert -> Table -> Convert Text to Table.? Select "Separate text at Paragraphs" and set Number of Columns to 3 and click Okay.
Boom,
Now you have a table of the results:

1. Yes, I would attend.

100%

17 votes

2. No, I would not attend

0%

0 votes




Re: Poll results

 

You still have to do that manually. The easiest way I've found is to get a screenshot of the results, crop it accordingly, then post it to the thread (if you allow attachments.) Another way is to copy down the results and enter them as part of a new message.

Poll results

 

When I close a poll, how can I get the results to be sent to the whole group?

Try just entering tywyn-dolgellaufreecycle in the box. Several folks have reported that this works.

Many thanks.? I was looking in the group preferences rather than the account preferences.

Re: Direct add not complete after 4 days

 

My Direct Adds appear as quickly as I can change screens so no, it is not normal to take so long. As Owner, I also get a notification that we have a new member in the group. I believe that's the only notice I receive other than, as Bruce said, just going to the Members page and seeing them there. I did set up a "Direct Add" Member Notice so that the new member gets a welcome note - if you also have that set, you might check with the members and see if they received the notice.

Hope you can sort it out.

My group email is not recognised

Jan Winspear
 

I was just attempting to transfer my reecycle group to groups io but
was told that the group is not a Yahoo group - the address is a .co.uk
one and has been since 2005 -
tywyn-dolgellaufreecycle@...

Any suggestions please


Down for Maintenance Notice

 

Hi all,

used to YG breakdowns, changes of features and functionality in 2014 without any announcements, not to speak of a complete lack of support or assistance, I am extremely grateful for the care and accuracy Mark provides for his groups. Sure feedback of existing groups help him to enhance his service, so this is a two-way-ticket. Anyway, considering all this I really don?t think a few hours of timeout without becoming aware make so much difference, especially since all the mails are stored and nothing gets lost.

Could it be we are getting a little too fastidious?

Victoria

In that case, they probably wouldn't even know the site is down. Emails received are queued, then posted when the system is back online. Other than possibly having the exact same time stamp (and I'm not sure about that), there'd be no indication of any outage.

Re: Down for Maintenance Notice

 

Dear All,

I was not quite sure when this maintenance occured, so the first thing I checked was the status page :-

To my surprise, there is nothing recorded for yesterday (10 May 2018).I would have thought this was the kind of event that should be recorded there. I did find info in the beta group, but that was just the planned outage from 5:00 to 7:00 PDT, not the actual time it lasted. Perhaps, I should make this comment in beta, to make sure Mark sees it?

Regards
John Russell


Re: DISABLING THE MUTING OF THREADS

Thanks, Bruce

You¡¯re probably right but, given the nature of this private group and the level of technical knowledge of the majority (I know all the members), I doubt they would bother going to that extent!? Which brings us back to your first point¡­most people wouldn¡¯t bother with or know what to do with that link in the footer!

?

So, as this type of configuration doesn¡¯t seem possible, I¡¯ll go and find out how to close this topic!

Even then, the recipient could set up an email filter. You're trying to control something that is not in your control anyway.

Colin,

This not good news ...
I wouldn't take dash's experience as typical.

Re: Down for Maintenance Notice

 

Paul,

I had two of my late night Emails just disappear last night and now I
guess I understand why.
The maintenance shouldn't have been the cause:

"Email sent during the downtime will be queued and sent when the site is
back up."


Did you look for them in your group's Activity logs?

... but his going on vacation without a clear ¡°I¡¯ll be back by this
date ...
There was notice of both departure and return, though perhaps not as widely distributed as needed.

Lost, gone, nada. They were in my sent file but not the IO file this morning. When I re-sent them later morning (PST) they went right through.

Issues about who should and should not be sent email notices aside, are you saying you actually lost emails? That would actually be a real concern. Or, was it just that they were delayed in showing up?

Re: BRUCE/ transfer from yahoo groups - time frame? #transfer

 

Dash,

How does on "select your "in process transfer"? Where is it?

1) Go to the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer instructions page.
2) Scroll down to the very bottom.
3) On the right, on the "In Process" list, click on the button on the right.
4) Select the name of the Yahoo Group you want to check on.



If that list is empty, then you don't have any transfers in process. At least, none initiated by you (the email address you used when you logged in to Groups.io).

See also message #8262.

I wouldn't want an email about it.? I do everything online and was well aware of this downtime.? I don't want more unnecessary email, so I'd want a way to disable it.
I suspect that part of it is the fact that it happened at 5 am PDT, so there may not have been an expectation that many people would notice.
international users .. ?

5 am PDT is UTC-8 or something like that, which would put the maintenance into the late evening for europeans, for example?..
