Does setting a size restriction resize photos that are already in the photo section, or only new uploads?

You are right - muting does take you to the website. You need to confirm the muting.
Minimal interaction with the website though. I attach screenshots.
However you couldn't unmute easily without going to the website.

Email commands to change your subscription, but it doesn't do Advanced Preferences -?

GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

Copying and pasting the link did the trick that refresh didn't and made the "view existing transfer status" link visible. That's helpful advice, thank you!

Winnie -- On further examination, I think I have a better understanding of what you could be talking about.

The country field in the address edit block is a pull-down menu. You cannot type in a country here, you have to select it from the menu. If you later go back to change a previously entered address, the country does not display in the edit window; but it is still there, hidden behind the pull-down. It has not "disappeared," and there is no need to re-enter it.

At least that's the way things behave on this end. If I'm totally off base please let me (and the support address) know, because that would be an actual bug. If this behavior bothers you and you do not need Map View for anything my previous suggestion of changing the data type still applies.?

Bruce

We have a closed group and, for the first time, I had a new member apply for membership, and while in the process of vetting him, I found that the system had approved him. As it turns out, I went in to approve him and found this, so no harm - no foul I guess, but it worries me. There are two of us in that management loop, but I checked with the other guy and he had not even been in the system.

Bill -- It's not necessary to enter the system to approve an application. All you have to do is reply to the notification message, which is easy to do without realizing it.

Open that user's record in the Member List and click the Activity History button at the top of the page. That will tell you what really happened.

I have no idea what would be a decent size to resize photos? in photo section so that they take up less space but are a reasonable size to see. Any suggestions?

Lynne; I am going to approach your query on the basis of a strict interpretation of what you asked. You referred to resize photos in photo section, and it has to be pointed out that changing the "resize" settings for photo uploads has no impact on the size of photos that have already been uploaded. They remain occupying exactly the same amount of storage as they did before the change was made.

There is a way around this, which while not difficult is very time consuming to do properly. To resize an existing overlarge photo it has to be downloaded, and then uploaded again with the new resizing setting. The catch is that in so doing the original attribution of the photo to whoever originally uploaded it is lost and it becomes attributed to whoever downloaded and then uploaded it again; it is possible to reassign it to its originator but that is the stage that can be extremely time - consuming and tedious.

Unless I have missed something (never impossible!) other respondents have provided answers that are correct for new uploads but did not address the issue of existing material.

What Mute/Follow features are available to email-only members (i.e. those w/o website access)?

It seems there is little or no control for?Email-only members?because:
1)???I have not found email commands for Adv. Preferences: i.e. “Follow Only” or “First Message Also”
2)???The wiki page on Muting & Following says: “The (footer) links (for mute or follow) take you to the Groups.io web site to confirm or cancel the action." ?This implies?website?access is required.

I'm preparing to move a private YahooGroup where half the members only use email, don't have web access.

Thanks. I will check up on the option of using another address for posting messages. It might help.

The main downside to all that is what you have encountered. Frankly, trying to use more than one email address here can be quite inconvenient. After a few times of finding yourself unable to access group content because you're logged in under the wrong address, I suspect you will end up merging these accounts again.
Bruce

You are probably right about that. My real problem is increasing age and probably senility which I why I don’t adapt to new systems as easily as I used to.

The person who put in birthdays in our database left the group.? ?How do we remove them from the database?

Lavon -- Click open the link to the database in question, then click on the "Edit Table Properties" button at the top of the resulting page.

To delete the entire database, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the red "Delete Table" button. If you just want to delete the birthdays, find that column block and click on the little "X" at the top right to remove it. Then scroll down and click the blue "Update" button.

Winnie -- I am not able to replicate this behavior, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening.

This may be an artifact of the way groups.io interacts with Google Maps. Is your group on the Premium or Basic plan??Does the problem occur if you remain in List View??

Unless you really need map view for something, you might have more success defining that column as type "Single Line Text" instead of Address. Or you could try splitting out the Country into a separate column.

I hope something in there helps.

In groups.io, your email address IS your account identifier.

One advantage of doing it that way is you don't need to set up a separate account identifer/user ID within groups.io -- if you have an email address, you already have one. It also allows groups.io to do the "email me a link to log in" thing if you don't want to (or simply never get around to) setting up a password.

Thanks for the suggestions which are appreciated.

From Frances:

My email (Apple Mail) does that for me - made rules in iCloud.
What email client are you using?

I am using Apple Mail on this computer, a Mac mini, and I use Thunderbird on my PC.

You could rejoin some groups with different email address, if you wish. Then cancel the subscriptions that are duplicates.

That is the only option that I can see so far but it is one that I wanted to avoid.

Most of the groups that I am in, owning some and a member of others, are for Amateur Radio so I use my callsign in my domain name for my email address. The other groups are for other purposes and I prefer to use another domain name for those which does not use my callsign.

I know how to merge the groups into one account or to change to another email address for all of them but I don’t know how to split some groups away to another account.


From Jonathan Sivier:

Why not just use a filter on your email program to direct the messages from different groups into different folders. …

Yes, I have done that in both Mac Mail and Thunderbird. It solves half of the problem but not the one where I want to use different email address domains for different purposes.

As I said, I would like to be able to split some groups from one account and move them to another account without moving all of them.

The problem is probably that I was used to being able to do that easily in the Yahoo Groups so I was hoping to be able to do the same here.

Once again, thanks for all the suggestions.

For detailed instructions on how to conduct a Yahoo Groups transfer please refer to this message:?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673

Please read carefully and do each item in order.?

Rather than repost or edit it every time I want it to send, I'm linking to it now. Time will tell if that works any better.

Here's how to check your transfer status.

1. Go to the Yahoo transfer page at?/yahootransfer
2. Select the transfer you want to check status on from "View Existing Transfer Status" list at lower right (click on?its name)*
3. The box at the top of the resulting page will tell you the status of that transfer.
4. Repeat for any other transfers you may have in progress.

For transfers that are actually approved and in progress, see also:??to see where you are in the queue.

I got the notification from Yahoo that the transfer agent had joined the group and so I went back to the transfer page, expecting the status message to have changed. When it didn't and didn't change, I refreshed the page, but instead of taking me back to the same transfer page it took me to the "request a transfer" start page.

My fault... but what do I do now?

Go to?/yahootransfer?and click the link at bottom right (under "View Existing Transfer Status").

We've been in the queue since last Sunday, started @ #483, now down to #367 :-(? But I don't know if that's indicative of any "average" . . . .

Thanks, Ken. 10,000 images will be more than enough

Thank you, Bruce. If we start using too much space I'll transfer photos to Google photos.?

I'll just let everyone know that they can't send attachments.
