Re: Invitations to subgroups
The FAQ says:
Subgroups
Groups.io supports subgroups. A subgroup is a group within another group. When viewing your group on the website, you can create a subgroup by clicking the 'Subgroup' tab on the left side. The email address of a subgroup is of the form [email protected].
?
Subgroups have all the functionality of normal groups, with the exceptions that to be a member of a subgroup, you must be a member of the parent group, and you cannot invite people to join subgroups.
?
Once a person is a member of the parent group, they can subscribe directly to the subgroup if it's permitted, they can be added directly to the subgroup, or they can ask to join the subgroup if it is restricted.
So, does this mean that if you have a Premium or Enterprise group (i.e. not free), you can direct add members to a subgroup. I wish that the FAQ was clearer about what was available in basic and what was available with paid groups. And it might be helpful if people used a hashtag to say whether their group is basic, premium or enterprise. The advice may be different. Frances ? |

You could try a second transfer asking for just the message archive to come over again, but if people have subsequently made any posts to your GIO group, the affected message numbers will remain out of sequence. That's your best-case scenario. Regards, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: Changing the font in email footers
In a word, No.? All of that is controlled by the site.? There have been discussions on the Beta group about changes, but nothing so far.

Re: APPROVING OWNERS POSTS ISSUES
I think you could change your membership to "Override: not moderated".

Re: Photo resizing
There are 2 options in the Settings menu under the Photos section, one for uploaded and one for email.? You'd need to set both of those to 1024.? One thing I'm not 100% sure about is what happens if the photo is an attachment to an email instead of inline.? I think it goes through as sent and is not resized, but maybe someone else has tried it.? (I don't allow attachments in my groups, so can't check.)

Re: Missed out a few messages
#transfer
Mark,
I'm in a similar situation with our group transfer of over 8 500 members and over 148 000 messages - we're missing the last few days worth of messages, around 50. I've had a ticket opened with [email protected]?which is still in-progress. If I hear anything more about this, I'll let you know. Best regards, Matt H |

Invitations to subgroups
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýFolks,I¡¯m curious if there is a way to tailor invitations to sub-groups so that an invitee can only join a subset of the subgroups of a main group. I understand that you must be a member of the main group to be a member of any subgroup, but right now,
it appears that the only way to allow membership to a subset of subgroups is to invite to the main group and then, after the member joins that, either allow them to join the groups you want them in, and reject their attempts to join the others, or open subgroups
under Admin and check the appropriate boxes. Note that I realize that the groups all have to require permission to join to have any hope of keeping people out of places that they don¡¯t belong.
As best I can tell, other then requiring approval to join and rejecting the request, there isn¡¯t any way to specifically invite to a subgroup and restrict other subgroups from that member¡ right?
And just so you understand, let me explain the situation. In the interests of consolidating the administrative mailing lists for our organization (The Pennsylvania Railroad Technical and Historical Society) I created a main admin list with subgroups
for our Board of Directors, Modeling Committee, Paint Committee, etc¡ ?Some discussions are confidential and members of one committee should not necessarily be able to see the discussions of the others. That works great with the structure of making the posts
private to the subgroup¡ but it¡¯s the process of membership of subsets of those groups that is the issue.

Missed out a few messages
#transfer
My group's just finished its automated transfer from Yahoo! Groups, but it's a fairly big group (7000 members, over 80?000 messages) and this took several days. About four days' of recent messages to the old Y!g have not been copied to Groups.io, maybe 20 posts altogether. Is there a reasonably simple way to copy these, preserving dates and so on? My two best guesses are to request another transfer, of just messages; or to ask [email protected] to do some magic. I would do this by hand if I knew a way of getting messages out of the Y! system and into a format such as .mbox which might be uploaded to Groups.io. Now that the transfer is done, the old Y!Group won't need to accept any new messages. This request is not going to become a habit. ?- Mark |
