Like your own post?????
#wikispaces
Please help me understand what possible value there is, to permit a member to like his own post????
I just noticed a member has been doing that, and I tried it myself, and sure enough, I can like my own post.? Of what possible value is that?? I assume no way to turn it off. |

Re: Polls !
The View page is where you read messages, for example /g/groupname/topics.
To delete a poll, go to the first post and select Delete Poll from the More menu.? If you only want to Close a poll, use the Edit Poll choice instead and scroll to the bottom to close it.

Re: Reply to post sometimes results in a new topic

Thank you, Duane, but the same problem occurs even when the member replies without changing the subject.After an appropriate interval, new topics can be started by what appears to be a reply even if the subject line is the same (or if the poster is using Yahoo mail). ;-o? See??in beta regarding how groups.io threads messages. Sooner or later, completely by chance, someone will initiate a topic with the same subject line that someone else had used previously. Others may feel differently, but I don't want every "hello" or "new subscriber" message in my groups to be threaded. On that basis I believe what Mark has in place represents a good compromise.

Re: Still trying to adapt to the new group settings.
The only notice type that can be automatically sent is Group Guidelines.? For anything else, I use the Calendar and create a repeating event for the necessary interval.? It won't be sent to those on No Email, but does go to the group as a message/posting.

Re: Polls !
Okay, I figured out the Hashtag Now, what is View drop down menu? And, how do I delete a poll? LOL, I'd like to unmerge it! ~~  Pamela~~http://thequeensbs.blogspot.com? "Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light." -- Groucho Marx ?

There was a separate entry on the left menu for Polls a couple of years ago.? Because it's only a special type of Topic, it was merged into the New Topic page.? Finding existing Polls is easy using the Hashtags page or selecting them from the View drop down menu.

I think the problem is the "Re:" automatically added by the mail client when replying to a post.That shouldn't be the problem.? The site checks for that and ignores it.? (It also checks for a few foreign language equivalents, but not all.)? Just from the subject lines, I don't see any reason it should start a new Topic.? You may need to leave one of the incorrect postings as a separate Topic, then send links to it and the original Topic to support so they can see what might be causing the problem. You must be in Topic view to see the Merge option.? The drop down menus are slightly different for Messages and Topics.

Re: File is unreadable message when trying to upload a 3 mb .PDF file

The problem was occurring on trying to upload the file, however, I've re-written the >PFDF, and that seems to have solved the issue.Glad you were able to get it to work out. The fact remains, though, that you should be able to upload a file of ANY type, even corrupted files and/or total garbage. Anything groups.io (or your browser) may choose to say about file readability in the upload dialog only affects display of the thumbnail image.

Re: copies of sent messages.
Donald, Sorry--I thought you were referring to Outlook--the program--and not I believe the OP is talking about Outlook - the program. The _program_ is capable of receiving your own messages back and does Again, it is not necessarily the same thing. Outlook - the program - could also notice that the sender of the message isn't the user's account, and react accordingly. I don't know that it does, it was just one of the possibilities. Outlook.com, the email service, which appears to be what's being From prior conversations about Microsoft-powered email services, including Outlook.com, whether or not you originated the message isn't a factor. That is, the message may or may not duplicate anything already in your account. It is merely the fact that the message was delivered by some service outside their own domain that marks it as potentially fraudulent. I wasn't aware of that function but if I know of someone using Gmail Yes. With Gmail the situation is different. Gmail inspects the Message-ID field of the inbound message to determine whether that message already exists in your account, and if so does not place the inbound message in your Inbox. That is how it "hides" messages returned by a list service (which generally won't alter the Message-ID on the way through), and also hides duplicates caused by simple handling errors. The feature in Groups.io replaces the Message-ID field* with one of Groups.io's own creation whenever it sends a message back to the member who sent it (the original Message-ID goes out to all other members). This causes Gmail to treat the returned message as something entirely new. * The Message-ID field is created by the originating service, and is required to be globally unique. That is, like a serial number it supposed to be exceptionally unlikely that any other message was ever given that same ID. Mail forwarding services (those that just pass the message along) are supposed to pass the Message-ID unchanged, on the basis that they didn't change the content or identifying fields of the message. List services also generally pass the Message-ID unchanged, even though they generally do make small alterations to the message (like add a list tag to the subject and append list footers to the message body).

I'm not close to my limit, but getting this message. Any help would be appreciated.Does it actually say the file is unreadable, or does it say "Couldn't open PDF?" If the latter, this problem seems to affect only those using the Edge browser. Edge seems to have trouble displaying the thumbnail image in the upload dialog.

Re: problem with blocked emails for mymts.net (bellmts.ca)
Michael, If a Bounced (or Bouncing) subscriber tries to post a message to (one of) their group(s): No. It will generate an Activity Log entry Rejected from bouncing member. b) will it reset their status from Bounced (or Bouncing) to Bouncing (restarting that status) or normal? No. c) if it is accepted, is their status only changed if they also receive (without rejecting) that post? N/A.
