Go to the album. Click on Add Photos. In the ensuring dialog box, click browse...

Find the photos and click on it. A thumbnail will appear in the dialog box. Click Add.?

You are done.

Using Apple Mail receives return -- Cannot Send Mail; the recipient "[email protected]" was rejected by the server.

 

Member reports that sending a post via GMAIL works fine but when sending using Apple Mail receives a text box with the subject line error message. Any thoughts on why this would happen?

Re: How do I download an image into an album on my groups.io ?

 

Sigh. Thank you. I shall put this new URL away in a file.

In this particular case I?could make a?new?album.

I clicked on New Album, and I put a title in the box: Pictures by members

I clicked access for all and the button that said everyone can do it.

I don't see this at all:

My W&W Updated Month Day, Year


I then clicked "add photo" and I did get a window with the rectangle and a command browse and I saw my desktop and I clicked the picture.

I then clicked on "add" -- there is upload command. I don't see the word "upload" anywhere. At no point did?I see that word.

The picture appeared in the album.

Will the software tell all the members the new picture is in the new album? There is no sign of a notification to all members. I went over to messages and saw no such message to everyone. Am I supposed to make a message to tell everyone it's there with the URL (which I copied just below)?that I hope is on top


***

But to?tell you the truth I didn't want to make a new album. There was a pre-existing album called Members where I wanted to put it.

So HOW do I put a photo into a pre-existing album? That was my question. I hope I don't have to make a new album each time I want to "upload" a new photo.

Is there a similar set of instructions for how to put a photo into a pre-existing album?

Do I have to inform everyone myself each time I put in a photo?

Try reading the information at /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/How-To-Make-a-Photo-Album to see if it helps.? Then if you still have questions, you can come back to ask them.

BTW, you want to upload the photo to the group, not download.

A 3,000-member group whom I helped with their move immediately had about 200 members with a red "B." We removed them all. Some had joined over 10 years ago.

Re: What's going on here?

 

Thanks. Tried each of those, including re-trying Arial. Not in that or Courier
New. It is in Tahoma. I don't have Segoe UI. This is in XP.

Delivery Failure and Undeliverable

 

I sent a private message to each member of the Yahoo group I am having transferred. I got 14 'Delivery Failure' and 'Undeliverable:' messages back. If my actual membership is only reduced by 14 that is not bad at all. What I need to know is this. If I keep these 14 as part of the membership that Support will be transferring to Groups.io, will it cause a problem with the transfer? I do not understand most of what is said in these messages and so I don't want to start deleting members and then discover it was a temporary inability to deliver a message.

Re: trouble with transfer from yahoogroups

 

The Yahoo invitations never did go through, but I asked
Mark about the old Yahoo request membership link. Mark
was able to get 'transfer' onto those groups using that
and the group transfers were set in motion that way.
Curious. How did Mark gain Moderator privileges in the
Y!G without an owner's intervention?
The problem was not getting 'transfer' moderator privileges. The problem was getting 'transfer' onto the Yahoo group in the first place. The invitation process simply wasn't working. Working from the other direction, the request to join got through and the owner was able to approve and promote 'transfer'.

How do I download an image into an album on my groups.io ?

 

Dear all,

I need help and it must be step-by-step instructions. Metaphors and directions which do not say how to do something explicitly do me no good.

I am the listmoderator of [email protected]

On my PC desktop I have a jpg image of a picture that a list member sent me to share with the list.? What I want to do is download it into an album on TrollopeandHisContempories@groups.io
?
Here is the page:
?
?
The way I understand to download images is on the screen there should be?a download button. First I put my cursor on an album I chose to put the picture in and click on its title underneath the image that I see. Then all the images in the album show up.?Then I click on that download button,? and a window appears which shows me my desktop.? I click on the jpg on my desktop and its number appears in the bottom rectangle of the window. To the side I see an "open command" I click on "open" and the image appears in the album. What I cannot see is the download command. I have tried looking for drop down menus? and can't find any.

Can someone help me find where the download button for putting images into photo albums in the groups.io is?

If there is another way I am supposed to download images that uses the screen, please give me explicit instructions. It is no use telling me to "use microsoft painter:" I don't understant what that is or how to use. Don't tell me to copy and paste the image because that leaves out all steps. I don't know how to copy the image; when I tried I saw nothing but the single image.

Thank you

Ellen Moody

Once per week would drive me nuts. I¡¯d make a mailbox rule to delete that before I saw it. It would take me about two weeks to decide to never see that again.

How long are your guidelines? I¡¯m a fan of very, very short guidelines. Here are the guidelines for the Philmont list that I run:

The rules for behavior on this list are the ideals of Scouting: the Scout Motto, Slogan, Oath, Law, and the Outdoor Code. We will disagree, but please be?courteous and helpful when disagreeing.

Re: Does calendar go to Special Notices?

 

Debbie,

So, do the Special Notices people get the calendar notices?

Not ordinarily.

You can force the issue by checking the "Special" option on the #cal-notice hashtag, but that would apply to all calendar notices which is probably not a good idea.

To be more targeted you could put the #guidelines hashtag in the event name for the event used to send them, and then check the "Special" option on it.

Myself, I would avoid sending any recurring item as a Special notice. To me, it is a little like crying wolf..

Re: Does calendar go to Special Notices?

 

>> I want it to be in their faces, but not more than once a week to annoy the people too much that do actually use the guidelines.?

Food for thought: Is once a week even going to change the behavior of those you say don't bother saving what you request and save? And is a constant reminder to those people that DO follow the guidelines NOT going to annoy them, regardless of the frequency?

You apparently have strict guidelines for the behavior in your group. That's fine. Lay out what the guidelines are when a member joins. They will either a.) understand and abide by them, or b.) "seem to think that it does not apply to them" and ignore them. In the opinion of the management team in our group, that's what moderators are for. A reminder to the offending party to either 'shape up or ship out' is sent, pointing out that the guidelines are in place for a reason. Yes, there were some members of our group (when it was on Y!G) that made issue with some of the guidelines that were established and they insisted their way was better, or the rules were stupid (without necessarily knowing the background of the rule), but our answer was always 'But it's Gary's group, so he gets to set the rules.' Gary has, sadly, passed on, and a group of us have taken up the continuance of his group and while we may tweak things a little (like moving it to GRIO) we still maintain that idea that 99% of the members want to behave and will and the other 1% won't no matter how much we want them to; don't punish the 99% for the sins of the 1%. And membership is strictly voluntary: don't like our guidelines and rules, start your own group.

Your group may be different, but that's our experience.
