Re: #poll Creating Polls #poll

 

Maybe suggest hyphenating the New Topic/Poll to make it clearer.

Re: Replies set to Group but users are getting senders email address in From

 

I think that needs to be reopened as it is an issue where eople don't want to manage multiple email addresses yet still want to keep their anonymity. Only [email protected] should be seen.

You create a New Topic. At the top of the screen you have the option of New Topic or New Poll.

Chose New Poll , give it a title, pose the question and then enter the various answers the users are to choose from.

Replies set to Group but users are getting senders email address in From

 

Hi all,

My group has the settings that replies is set to Group but messages sent are showing the senders email address instead of the [email protected]

Have I missed a setting or is there a bug?

Re: Automatic Deletion of Members If Message Marked As Spam #poll

 

Flag them and then set them to no mail. That way they can be identified by the owner/moderator and they can address this with the user in question. It also stops any more messages going to them.


I have seen Yahoo flag messages for no apparent reason coming from .? I suspect it's on purpose as they are loosing so many to . I have even seen messages on Yahoo groups that are blocked, delayed and even bounced when is mentioned.

I think you have missed the point that the non - delete suggestion was not to "just flag them as marking as spam".

The suggested alternative was to put those members affected on to No emails, so that they would still have web access. You have brought a "third way" into the discussion, and as Duane states it is a route that could lead to all sorts of trouble. Not a good idea IMHO. Whatever happens there has to be something that stops emails being sent to members where there has been a "spam" marker until such time as something has been done by that member to sort things out.

Your idea doesn't address that.

Excellent! Thanks for letting me know. Given Yahoo's history and their recent switch to Oath, whatever that is, I suspected there would be a problem. I won't panic yet then!

Thanks again!

Pending Group Transfer Questions

Pam
 

Hello All!

Me again! I'm not so very tech savvy that I might need some help. And please forgive if I'm repeating questions others have asked before me, lol. But here they are:

1. How long does it take for ?[email protected] to accept an invitation to a group? I started the process of transfering my four Yahoo groups yesterday, sent invites to each one, and haven't received notification of new members. And they don't appear in my member lists there. This is probably a Yahoo thing, isn't it... *sigh*

2. How long should I wait before I send the invites again? I see a note on the page that Yahoo is having issues, surprise surprise. Once they are made a mod, how do I check on the pending transfer? I don't see any place to do that.

Again, apologies if these are questions that have been answered over and over. I'm still learning all this stuff. So far I'm loving it, but I can see from these threads I have a lot to learn? :)

Thanks!

Pam? :)

Since none of us know the inner workings of the FBL mechanism on the various sites, I can see this leading to a problem for groups.io.? If the member weren't removed, a moderator, either intentionally or accidentally, could send a message to them via this site that could lead to the site being blocked by at least the member's service for all users of groups here.? There must be some limit before that happens, but when the limit is reached, one more message would trigger it.

Yahoo Transfer

 

Hi All,

I am trying to transfer a second group from yahoo groups.? I have completed everything per the instructions, down to I am ready to make the transfer but when I tell it to go ahead with the transfer nothing happens? groupsio is a moderator in my yahoo group. I never see my group pending.? This is the second group I am trying to transfer over, the first one went perfect. Anyone have any ideas on what I may have missed?? Cliftontownship is the groups io that in want to transfer to.
Re: Automatic Deletion of Members If Message Marked As Spam #poll

 

Shal; thanks for your recent edits. The ToC is a good idea, the addition to "Notifications" ditto, and the reworked Service Providers list is certainly more informative.

I had held off from deleting the expired Notifications for no really identifiable reason, so thanks for that as well.

I had a look at the activity log on the Group I moderate, and it was clear that aol had by far the greatest number of deletions, but of course that may be a reflection of how many users were using aol, rather than any indication that aol has the most aggressive spam spotter.

Now all that is needed is to get Owners and Moderators to copy it into their own wiki sections. Two groups of which I am a member have no wikis at all, and ignored an email I sent to their owners about this problem completely; not even an acknowledgement.

Regards,

Chris... going off to copy the latest version into "my" group.
Re: Message editor acting funky

 

I must be losing my mind. I could have sworn that there used to be a large "attachments" button at the bottom, next to Discard. Now I see there's an attachments icon on the menu bar. Has it always been that way? Am I conflating groups.io with Yahoo or some other system?

Nope, it's not Yahoo. Editor looks very similar...

Gerald, I owe you [and probably a lot of other people] an apology. I need to go hiking or mow the lawn or something and get my butt out from behind this computer for awhile...before I go even more stark-raving mad than I already am.

I had hoped that you understood that my comment was intended in jest. Hence the faked out emoji: ;-)

I agree that it is funky with the flashing display, but the Upload (Add Attachments button) and Preview (Advanced Toolbar preview button) still exist and work properly.

I moved?a small Group?today (Friday the 13th no less) and had very little trouble.
After the OK to Start button was pressed it took about an hour or two.
Thanks to all the people working behind the scenes.
