Re: Yahoo might be dead - transfer questions

Marie Alline
 

?
I apologize. I should have answered your other questions. If you create a group and have your members sub themselves, the transfer will not overwrite them. The transfer recognizes each member by their email address. However if they subscibe with a different email address, they may end up subbed twice, so if you contact your members to sub themselves, be sure to let them know to use the same email address they used at Yahoo groups.
?
Yahoo groups is not completely dead. I am still getting the occasional email from there. Not many, but some.

Subject: [GMF] Yahoo might be dead - transfer questions
?
I've invited [email protected] to our Yahoo group twice now, and it doesn't seem to be working. For that matter, none of my emails are going through to the Yahoo groups list, so I'm worried that Yahoo is entirely dead at this point. I'm thinking of just starting a new group, and hopefully reaching a majority of the old list via private emails, FB, and other social networking by each other.
?
If I just start a new group, and Yahoo comes back up eventually and does the transfer, what will happen? Will the transfer overwrite the new members? Will we have duplicates?
?
I'm SO frustrated that I can't even communicate with our mailing list at all right now.
?
Thanks,

Re: How to follow a topic from the web UI?

I can add ?allview=1 to the URL parameters to get the buttons, but this seems very odd.

I don't see that effect with GMF's messages. What were you looking at when you did that (topic list, topic, message list, message)?

The guy who does the transfers is on vacation until May 2nd or 3rd, I believe. There will not be any transfers until he gets back.


[mod note: he said "delayed", which may not be the same as "deferred until my return".
?But it might be.]

It should have deleted the photos when you disabled the photos feature.

Re: Date format in email calendar reminders

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi Jack, Sal, Sharon and others,

?

This Wikipedia page shows the date format use by the various countries.

?

I'm ok with yymmdd, so if only one date format can be accomodated, this gets my vote.

?

It would be much better of course to be able to select a particular date format in the Group¡¯s settings. Surely it can¡¯t be that hard to include this functionality.

?

Cheers, Mark

Hi Mark,

As Duane mentioned this topic has been raised as - HERE. Pity it's taking so long to change what I would think is a simple enhancement (but I'm no programmer (;>)

It is a bit infuriating in my subject lines I have to preface with a European date to make sure the members of my Groups (amateur radio - and times - 24hr clock in Z/UTC/GMT) can recognise the date format correctly 01/06/18 - 1st of June or 6th January? Of course the 1st of June from our perspective.

And a last, a lot of progressive on-line sites are starting to adopt the standard for dating format YY/MM/DD/M and no AM/PM just 24hrs.

Cheers

Re: Date format in email calendar reminders

 

Sharon,

The ISO is not common in the US.

I started using a 6-digit format, eg 180424 back in the mid '70s because it fit well when formatting lists for computer terminals and printers that had tab stops preset every 8 columns. I knew we chose YYMMDD so that any dumb text sort on that column would be chronological. Little did I know that years later that would be an accepted short format in ISO-8601. Alas it was removed in 2004 (too much concern for Y2K issues?)..
?
Most people associate with the military, and even worse with the militant white-supremicist groups that seem to think using the 24 hour clock makes them sound super tough and in the know.

Yikes. The military yes, but I never heard of the latter. Ironic given that it is an ISO standard - "I" standing for International.

My primary association is humorous - XKCD:


On the other hand, even though my father was 30 years in the USMC and I have no problem using 24-hour time, I still think in AM/PM by habit.

Hi Rosalee! For free groups, you are allowed 1 gb of storage. I have an Incredimail group. I have learned that the best thing to do to prevent buildup of space on the server is to go into your admin to settings and disable photos because everything because everything with graphics attached has the graphics automatically dumped into a folder in photos. Also in the admin, there is place under Message Formatting in the admin that you can set to "delete old attachments". Those two settings will help.

Re: File Editing very troublesome

 

Thanks, Toby and Shal,

this could be a temporary solution. I could have thought about that myself. Or using two browsers could be another option.

Re: File Editing very troublesome

Hi Toby,

?

I posted a suggestion on this topic here - ? I¡¯ve completed my amendments of my database for now and yes, I found using the back button did help.

?

Sue

?

>I agree that it does not work well.? the path of edit/update should leave you on the same page containing the record just edited.? In fact, I would suggest that the Update button save the data and return to the page displaying the record, not to any list page.
I have found that using the browser back button a couple times gets me back to the list page I was on.??
I did not see a feature request addressing this issue ->?
Might have been discussed before but couldn't find any post about it here or in?

Re: Trnasferring Photos From Yahoo #transfer

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

For my YG lists that allowed them, photos in messages were transferred.

Total photo storage in one list went from 6.7 GB to 660MB by reducing the max photo size to 1024x1024 pixels for photos and files and to 488x488 pixels for messages.? 1024pixels is pretty much full height on my 27" monitor (between the task bars), so should be a workable size of up to 99% of viewers.

YG did not update photo owners e-mail addresses as they did track ownership by e-mail address.? If the photo owner had changed e-mail addresses inthe last 19 years, common on a lot of lists, then the new groups.io list owner became the new photo owner.? Changing ownership back to the new e-mail address of the original photo owner would be a nice improvement, vis a vis deletion and reloading.

Re: Group Approval

 

It's usually pretty quick but, right now, Mark is on vacation so it may take a bit longer.

"Description:I will be on vacation starting Monday, April 23, returning on Thursday, May 2nd. I will be monitoring the site as normal, except for a few times when I'm on planes or otherwise out of cell/Internet coverage. During those times, a friend of mine will be monitoring the site. Replies to support emails will be delayed during this time. Also, group transfers will be delayed as well."
Re: File Editing very troublesome

 

Victoria,

Or is there a trick I haven?t found yet?

My trick for situations like that is to open the item in a browser tab (use Ctrl+Shift+LeftClick instead of just LeftClick, in most browsers - specifically in Firefox and Edge). I do that reflexively anytime I expect I'll want to come back to the original page. That way the original page stays open and scrolled to where I left it. When I'm done with the item I don't care where the site takes me, I close that tab and go back to the original page. Perfect for managing items from a list page, or reading references in an article, or anytime you want to go do something then come back.

I wish I knew a trick for that on mobile...

Re: How to follow a topic from the web UI?

 

Paul,

I now see that when I navigate to a topic via Home ¡ú Topics ¡ú All there is a row of buttons with a Follow This Topic button, but this button does not appear when navigating to the same topic (and same URL path) via the containing group.

Unfortunately, at present the Groups.io home page is the only place where the Mute and Follow message functionality controls the display of message lists and messages.

I can add ?allview=1 to the URL parameters to get the buttons, but this seems very odd.

I don't see that effect with GMF's messages. What were you looking at when you did that (topic list, topic, message list, message)?

Years ago when all my websites and email lists started going international I switched all dates to Day/Month/Year with the month spelled out.

It may be non-standard for bibliographies, etc. but no one is confused.

The ISO is not common in the US. Most people associate with the military, and even worse with the militant white-supremicist groups that seem to think using the 24 hour clock makes them sound super tough and in the know.
