Auto-Send Regularly Scheduled Member Notices

Paula McMullen
 

Hello,
I'm new to io so I'd appreciate some direction. ?Is it possible to auto-send a message to a group at regularly scheduled times? ?I have a notice that needs to be sent every two weeks. ?How can this be accomplished?
Thanks in advance,
Paula
Database Search II

 

I have many databases in our group, and I'v noticed something peculiar when I do a search on one of them. Six dbases have some information found in all of them, and when I do a search for a particular item in one dbase, the results of the search will also display that particular information in the other dbases, along with what I'm looking for. It's like these dbases are connected, so a search in one is a search in all of them. This does not seem like a normal operation to me. Is it?

I¡¯ll use whatever you implement. This is so-o-o much better than Yahoo.?

As a genealogy buff I already use three different formats it¡¯s simple, you follow the suggestions.
Re: Yahoo email address contortions

 

David,

I have no idea what you are talking about. This has nothing to do with
Yahoo.
Oh, but it does. It has everything to do with Yahoo Mail, and their decision to break almost every mailing list on the planet. AOL and a few others followed suit.

One of my people send a message to the group and his email is
modified like that.
That member must be using one of the accursed email services.

If I can stop it please let me know.
You can't, but the member could chose a less benighted email service.

That being said, I am I think signed up on this group as a daily
summary and I am getting all the messages one by one all day long.
Putting on my GMF owner hat, I can confirm that you have two subscriptions to this group, at two different email addresses. One that joined Jan 22nd and is set to Summary, and a second that joined early this am my time (10:43am UTC), and is set to Individual messages.

Hi Back SP4149, I'm the other sort and nothing is happening.? Have not yet gotten an answer from support either.

I suspect the problem is the email address at groups.io isn't the same at the yahoogroups one but I've sent an email from both accounts.? I seem so far to be in limbo-land but I haven't spammed them with many messages yet..?

Hello - Has there been an attempt to get clarification from support on this or should I give it a try??
Thanks

That¡¯s a classic sign the users don¡¯t realize they were reading individual messages in their email box and are now reading them online.

Accepted reply to event #calendar

 

Group is on the free plan.? Created event and checked "send invite to group".
A while later a message is posted that says "Accepted: [xxx] Event: xxxxx" from one of the members.
Since the group does not have RSVPs, I'm asking myself - "Where did that come from?" or more accurately "How did that happen?"
I imagine that the member's calendar sent a response to the group when they saved the event from their email or some such.
In my Gmail, it parses the invite email and offers "Add to calendar ?" which creates an event in my calendar.? Doing that and even clicking "Yes I'm going" did not generate a reply back to the group (which makes sense because it sees me as the organizer of the event, not the group).
Just posting as a "behavior to be aware of" as I'm not sure it's a bug.? But I doubt the member expected a message to be posted to the group that she was coming the meeting.

If someone "likes" a message is the person who wrote the message notified? Or would

Also, what is the difference between "rich" and "plain" formatting on the digest

The request is for dates and times to be given as defined by the ISO
standard. And, where possible, adjusted for local variants, at the
user's option.

Re: Tell me about "liking" messages

 

Oh I see, well I will look forward to the notifications overhaul then.

Thanks Shal!
Re: European Date Format & 24hr Clock #calendar

 

Jean,

Our US-based group is very much opposed to changing the date/time
format unilaterally.
I don't think it has been discussed in beta@ as anything but an option.

I would hope for it to be implemented much like timezone: an individual setting, with a group default for people new to Groups.io.

Mark posted this the other day on Beta:


And for your convenience here it is. But likely it would be better to reply on Beta group.?

I was able to complete a lot of Yahoo Groups transfers this week. There were still issues of some missing files and photos, and the invite system throws up errors every once in awhile. But it was manageable.

Unfortunately, this morning, it appears there's a sporadic issue with Y! Groups' archives. Some of the time when I request a specific message, Yahoo will return an internal error message. Which means we end up with only partial archives. I've halted all transfers for now until this hopefully clears up (there are currently around 30 groups in the queue to be transferred).

(The group transfer process is unfortunately not fully automated. I have to respond to each invite, because of the captcha. And I need to oversee the crawling of the groups and the checks for space.)

Our US-based group is very much opposed to changing the date/time format unilaterally. Why should our members (who have been here for two years) be subjected to confusion to accommodate newcomers? If it can be implemented optionally at the group or individual level we would support it. Otherwise, we will vigorously oppose it.
