Shal, you wrote:

o.k. but this in my opinion does not explain the following setting:

- three or four members were moderated ¨C no matter if still remainings of the old yahoo group or newly moderated

- for special reasons I set the whole group on moderated so that each incoming post would have to be accepted individually

- In this case the three or four moderated members all of a sudden were the only ones who could post (having the little blue P next to their name),

?

Does this mean putting everybody on moderated overrides the members who were originally moderated? Not having been aware of this fact the contrary of what I intended took place: Everybodys post had to be individually accepted exept the ones of the moderated members.


Is this logical (algorithmwise)? Or is it a bug?

Now of course I corrected this with your help (smile).

Why does OBO appear in posts?

 

See examples below. ?Some come thru from IO as ¡°On behalf of¡± and some come thru with a different header.?
Questions:
Why?
How to control how the header comes thru?
The signature should have been automatically added on the msg posted via email, but wasn¡¯t. Why??


Re: Owner not showing up on member list

 

Duane, thanks for the suggestion :) .? I'll try "Infinite Scroll" for a while and see how it works.? The multi-page thing has caught a few members already who failed to scroll down to the very bottom.? I must say that there's something about the layout of the page that tricks my brain into thinking the list is complete.? It will just take some getting used to, but we'll get there!
Thanks!


Re: Attached Picture Not In Emailed Photos.

 

Lily et al --

Mark has informed me that he has fixed the bug; the Emailed Photos folder is no longer hidden if you have set Attachments to Moderate.

Be advised that you can still delete any residual, unwanted attachments by selecting the Edit Message option under the More menu.

Bruce?

Re: Posts passing without being approved

 

Victoria,


But I noticed that the few members concerned were at times moderated in the old yahoo group. Could that be the reason?
?
Yes.

Members copied over during a Y!Group transfer retain the Posting Privileges they had there (along with their Email Delivery setting and join date). So it is possible that those particular members were also Unmoderated in the Y!Group.

Do you have more than a single owner?

If there are co-owners or moderators, you will not be notified when they approve a post...

Yes, I do. But the problem was indeed the overriding moderation (P) of some members as Shal supposed. Approval of posts shows up in ¡°activities¡±, as I noticed.

Re: Importing a csv list

 

Peter,


A further question: does the Y! Group from which the transfer has taken place retain the data until it is closed/deleted? ?

Yes. The transfer agent copies data only, nothing in the Y!Group is altered.

If you want to close, moderate, or otherwise change the Y!Group you have to do that manually. See also the Afterward section of GMF's wiki page about Y!Group transfers.

In your particular case, you might want to change your Preferences under your Account to show 50 Items Per Page.? (This effects messages, databases, etc.)? It may again become a 'problem' when you have 51 members, but hopefully by then you'll be quite familiar with Groups.io. ;>)

Re: Importing a csv list

 

Any information requested in the transfer is copied from the YG!, nothing is actually touched.? What, if anything, happens to the original information is up to the YG! owner.

Shal,

I did indeed find only a few members with that P and changed it.

?

How can this happen?

?

Or, you may have one or more thread with a hashtag carrying the Replies Unmoderated option

?

We do not work with hashtags, so this cannot be the reason.

But I noticed that the few members concerned were at times moderated in the old yahoo group. Could that be the reason?

Thanks anyway

Re: Polls

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Yes, I know that NEW POLLS?used to be buried within new topic.
This poll was set up after?Mark had made the change to move the New Poll to it's own spot on the left side of the menu.
?
Only the members whose settings are?set so they can post to the group?were the only?members who?were able to?vote in the poll.?
?
I haven't closed the poll yet.? I have checked the member permissions and the only members who were able to vote are the members who can send mail to the group.
?
Now Beck is in my group and she just answered email right before you did Bruce.
She said she couldn't find the poll.
Now if I change her settings so she can post to the group, she will be able to vote in the poll.

"New Poll" used to be buried within "New Topic"...you had to click "New Topic" first and from the resulting screen click on the "New Poll" button. Although Mark has very recently moved it back out to its own left-side menu item it's likely that the two still share the same member permissions.

Re: Polls

 

The poll is there.
I just looked
It is message?#396
?
Beck you wouldn't be able to vote as you do no have permission to post to that group and that is maybe why you don't see the poll.
?
The results show that only 10 members voted.
9 of those members had permission to post email to the group.
1 did at the time of joining and then her permissions were changed.
?
No member?was able to vote whose status was cannot post to the group.
Those members had sent me email to my personal email address with their vote.

Re: Owner not showing up on member list

 

Hi Shal,

Well, I am completely embarrassed here.? As we decided to test this venue with just a small closed group of our active art guild rather than the large virtual discussion group as we had on Yahoo!, the members list is currently very short.? We wanted to see how we liked Groups.io before expanding it.? Long story short, part of what was puzzling me was that I was NOT seeing my name/email as the owner on the Members list because it was in chronological order and it turns out I was the ONLY one listed on page 2 (oops).? All this time I had been wondering why the owner wouldn't be listed, but just chalked it up to being a quirk of the site.? Nobody else was really "missing" so I never bothered to scroll down far enough to click over to another page.? DUH!!!? I didn't pursue it until yesterday when I made one of the other members an owner and she was still on the list with "Owner" next to it.? That's when I decided to delve in and ask some questions.

I did not do a true migration of our whole Yahoo! Group?for a variety of reasons, mainly because that group had a different owner who was out of the picture and there was a ton of old stuff we didn't want to carry over.? We wanted a fresh start so I simply copied an email list of the members we were moving over and auto-added them to our Groups.io account to avoid the invitation process.? So, I don't think there will be any serious consequences of removing my second "Yahoo!" membership here, but please let me know if you think otherwise with this additional info.??

Thanks once again for your timely response, and I'm terribly sorry that I took up your time with what ended up to be a really dumb question.

Have a great day,
Maureen??


Re: Importing a csv list

 

Many thanks to all who responded - it¡¯s giving me confidence to recommend our Members that transferring would be a good move.

A further question: does the Y! Group from which the transfer has taken place retain the data until it is closed/deleted? ?In other words I suppose, is the information copied as opposed to deleted - in Microsoft speak, Cut and Paste or Copy and paste?

Thank you

Peter

I sent an email about a poll a while ago and didn't receive any answer.

I created a poll to a group where only a handful of members out of 703 members can post to the group.?

It seems the only members who were able to vote in the poll were the members who can post mail to the group. The others received messages back saying the poll was unavailable to them.

I went over the list of things they needed to do, like make sure they were signed in.
Only to receive a note from one member saying "I am NOT DUMB" I was signed in.

Now a?member rejoined because she accidently removed herself while trying to vote in the poll and before I could change her status so she can't post in the group, she voted.

Re: Posts passing without being approved

 

Victoria,


How can this happen?

Or, you may have one or more thread with a hashtag carrying the Replies Unmoderated option.

?
And what can I do about it?

Review your hashtag list, opening the edit page for each until you find it. Then decide whether you want to remove that option from the hashtag, or remove that hashtag from current topics.

Re: Posts passing without being approved

 

Victoria,


I set my group on ¡°moderated¡± in ¡°Spam Control¡± temporarily, meaning that posts need approval before being sent to the group. The problem is that this doesn?t work perfectly. There is always a post or two going through without being approved.


You may have one or more group members who are set to Override: not moderated in their Posting Privileges option.


And what can I do about it?


Look for one or more members with the blue P badge next to their email address (in the Members list) and go set them to Use Group Moderation Setting.

Unfortunately you can't sort the Members list by their Posting Privileges, but if you have a lot of members it might be worth downloading the list and sorting it in Excel or a similar program.
