Re: xemaps.com - invalid address?

 

Ah. That's probably it. Wonder if it's possible to make the error for these domains clearer -- something like "Blocked domain"??

Probably.? From what Mark mentioned awhile back on the beta group, he's blocking as many of the 'disposable email' domains as he can to help keep out the spammers.? He doesn't make the list available because that would help the spammers find one that they can use.

xemaps.com - invalid address?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi -

One of my recently transferred lists from Yahoo has a member that uses xemaps.com (one of those services that maps a "disposable" address to your real address). During the transfer, her address was rejected as invalid. I've tried sending invitations, but everything to that domain seems to be marked as invalid:

Does groups.io reject mail to these services? Is there any way for her to subscribe from her address on this service? I haven't been able to find any documentation about this.

regards,
Vivian


can you search a phrase?

 

The wiki says you search??AND, OR and NOT. You can also search for quoted phrases.
However, when I try to search a quoted phrase I'm getting posts with the individual words.

I'm wondering if something changed since this wiki went up or if it's a temporary problem.

Thanks,
Rachel


Re: When will transfer take place?

 

I am also still waiting. I sent the invites 5 days ago, and the status at groups.io says it received the invite.?
I was planning on a migration cutover on Dec 1st, but that seems unlikely now.?


Re: Column Width in a Database

 

Thanks for that?information.
All of the column headings were typed in.
I will play around some more with each column first.
If that doesn't work Since I am the only one who is going to enter information in that database and I have it set so only?I and my Moderator can?view it, I can make the column that I need longer by writing jibberish as the heading to expand that column and then cut the other columns short by only writing one word in them.
?
I didn't know it was pixels.
I was putting numbers like 10 in the one I want larger and -5 for the one I want smaller.

Whatever number I plug into the Display Width box, it seems that no change has been made to any of the columns width. The size remains the same as if it was set to default zero.
There are limitations to how much adjusting can be done, due to dynamic html rendering requirements. For example, for a table entry of type "single line text," a browser may refuse to split or truncate a lengthy word, even if you make the column width shorter. So you may find that your browser refuses to render a column at a narrower width than the width of the longest word found among all the entries in that column. I hope that made sense.

Also make sure that all whitespace in table entries consist of regular spaces (ASCII 32). If you've pasted something into the table that contains html non-breaking spaces ( ), text-wrapping cannot occur there.

Perhaps most importantly, keep in mind that these Display Widths are in pixels, not characters. How things wrap will depend on both screen width and font size...what looks good on your screen may be horrible on someone else's. For that reason I recommend that you stick with the 0 defaults.

If none of this dissuades you from leaving well enough alone, it's best to play with these column settings one at a time. As a first approximation, try incrementally decreasing the width of the column you want to make narrower, while leaving the rest at zero. Once you get to the point that you like the width of this column you can then experiment with making the other one wider.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Re: Main address changes when creating a subgroup? #subgroups

No it won't...but you can still access the group under the old address, which will be redirected to the subdomain one.

So then I discovered that the name of the subdomain could be changed, and thought I'd make it shorter.

Now there's another problem.

I can't access the group. It says server not found.

What the heck!?

Changing the name of a group or subgroup affects nameserver table entries. You will have to wait awhile until those are updated, at which point you should be able to access the renamed subgroup.?

Hope this helps,

Should I just recreate the group over again?

That's a gmail thing that's been discussed before.? You can go to your account (upper right), then Preferences, scroll down to Email Preferences, select "I always want copies of my own emails", and click Update Preferences.? You'll end up with 2 copies of the email, the one you sent (which is what you're seeing now) and the one that comes back.? The one coming back should have the prepend.

Re: Subject tag not pre-pending #bug

 

I think I figured out what is going on. If I send the email from my gmail account, it appears in my inbox without the prepend. Everyone else is getting it with the prepend so I think we are fine.?

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the help!


Git access to files/wiki

John Mertic
 

Hi everyone!
?
I'm a big user of for all my foundation and communities collaboration - it's been overall a good experience compared to the mailing lists of old.
?
One feature I use a lot of is the Wiki and Files section - particularly to build out portals of information for the various groups. GitHub is often used for communities that are generally open, but if I need a private community collaboration or portal tool, the wiki/files section works well.
?
One feature I really like about GitHub is that the Wiki itself is cloneable as a git repo that I can edit locally. This is super helpful as editing markdown on local tools is much easier, plus I can build workflows to publish content from internal resources right to the public resource. Anyway that Files/Wiki could be exposed as Git repos for this purpose?

Thank you,
?
