Well, Admin is missing on the second.

The first one is for a group where you are logged in as owner or moderator.
Second one is for a group where you are logged in simply as a regular member.?

However, if the first stops at New Topic:
Are you also sure you aren't logged into the test version?
Are they different browsers?

Hi Folks,
First posting. I tried to search, but not quite the same issue I'm seeing.
I'm a member of many groups and owner of two groups.

One looks truncated:

One group looks normal:

Last time I went in to the administration, It was all normal. I KNOW there were files and etc..
I have two accounts and both show the same thing. Just sort of lost on where to look!!

Sure. Just go to Admin > Settings > Cover Photo.

While I am sure that Bruce's advice is the best way forward for you, I just wanted to point out that you can require hashtags and you can make it so only the owner / moderator creates hashtags. That might get closer to what you want if you stayed with Groups.io

Mark does this in Beta group.

JSA -- People have previously argued for both web-only and email-only groups. Neither is an available feature. As you've surmised, much difficulty arises when trying to assign an incoming email to the right "bucket;" especially when nondescript subject lines like "Help" are involved.

Such ambiguity does not exist in your classic web forum. If that's what you really want, groups.io may not be your best option. Consider a dedicated forum provider, such as ProBoards (proboards.com). It is ad-supported, but you can remove the ads for a fee. If you're savvy enough to set it up, you could also use something like PHPBB on your own web site (phpbb.com). It is free and open-source.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Hello,? I don't think this is possible with eternity.io but I wanted to check.

The "search" capability for messages is really great and the archiving of messages is great.?

Our group started as conversational but is gradually evolving towards repeated discussion of some topics.? ?

I think that within the structure we now have we can make something like an index with the wiki, putting links to messages, but looking for something easier.

Thank you for any suggestions!

Hello everyone

There are lots of things that could be improved but I think we have to consider that GroupsIO is primarily a platform for online communities and the price we pay for it.

It also has a Chat feature but do we expect that to be as powerful as Zoom?

Just my take on it

My take, as a software developer, is that no system is ever complete (or ever bug free), it is an asymptotic approach to perfection. Taking the route suggested above leads to just freezing the codebase and only doing the occasional bug fix. That way lies a slow death. So, the more of a "one stop shop" GIO is, the better, in my book.

Best,

Glenn
P.S. I don't consider Zoom's chat features to be particularly powerful, especially as compared to something like Slack or even Discord.

As was stated already, you cannot move more than one, but since your message subject also included "Uploading", there's a sideways method to move more than one file from Files (either dispersed or within a folder) into a single Photo Album.

You export the Files, unzip and keep only the ones you want to move, arrange them as desired, then grab all the pertinent photos to a specific album and upload them at once into it, since you can upload more than one photo at a time into an album.

Two considerations, you'll need to manually add any description text to the uploaded photos if the Files entry had one, and also manually delete the originals from Files.

And one issue you'll run into, the owner will now be you (or whoever does this), not the original uploader/owner, but that can be changed to the original owner albeit one photo at a time.

Cheers,
Christos

No, Files and Photos must be done one at a time.? You can move an entire file folder, but not a photo album (since there are no sub-albums).

Here's the Help for files, etc. Also lots of discussion in the past week about multiple files, etc. in this group.

Good Afternoon,

I looked but was unable to find or figure out how to or if it is possible to move multiple files and or photos at once from the Files section or the Photos section. For example, holding the shift while selecting multiple files in Windows allows selection of multiple files at once or holding the ctrl allows selection of multiple specific files for copying, deletion, pasting etc..?

Is this possible in the groups.io?

Thank you!

Go to the group and select Admin > Upgrade from the left menu.? That will give you a summary of usage for various items, as well as total used.

From the manual, it appears that you only get a warning when you've used 80% of your storage. Is there any way to check storage to better understand your groups storage use before hitting 80%? I could better set current photo policies if i knew the rate at which our group is growing its storage use.

Couldn't you create your poll in Survey Monkey and make a link to it?

Of course, I could. The same could be said for Database, Files and Photos, you can always use an external service and link it. However, since GIO offers a feature, why not make it better?
GIO Polls offer the possibility to target a very specific segment, for instance allowing only members of a certain subgroup to take part in the survey. I find it a very valuable aspect.

If you export the photos, you would have a list of the folders, but extra work.

There are two more ways of getting the info, one graphical the other text, but both also extra work.? Possibly one more way using the API but I haven't looked at it.

1. Move a photo, and when the Move dialog comes up, the albums will be listed there in the dropdown, see attached, so a screenshot (or more) will be needed and it would be a list in graphic format.

2. While that Move dialog is open, do Ctrl+S and save the html page.? Open it with Notepad, and the folders are listed under the albumid class, so search for name="albumid", and under it the folders will be listed, and a list can be created by removing the html code, eg:

<select class="form-control input-sm" name="albumid">
? <option value="174401" selected="selected">
? ? ? PROBLEM - Driver font problems in version 2.3.2
? </option>
? <option value="174404">
? ??? INFO - Accessories and improvements
? </option>
? <option value="174405">
? ??? PHOTOS - ALPS MD-1300
? </option>
? <option value="174406">
? ??? PHOTOS - ALPS MD-1500
? </option>
. . .

If the /photos page code were to be enhanced to allow the page to display as currently (i.e. "Icons" format), but also by adding to it a toggle to change to a "Details" list format such as used in Files, that would now allow one to see all* the albums. (*or at least however many it would show per screenfull based on their Items Per Page setting)

Cheers,
Christos

No.? I don't think anyone has ever asked that before.? If you export the photos, you would have a list of the folders, but extra work.
