Re: How do we unmoderate ourselves?
Randi,
It is really irritating that all of my posts are moderated and I amAs far as message moderation goes there's no difference between an owner/mod or any other member. You have to look to the Posting Privileges of your subscription, and the group's Moderation setting to determine why your messages are moderated. There is an action that says ¡°approve and unmoderate¡± and II believe that function changes your Posting Privilege to "Use Group Moderation Setting". But that will still result in your messages being moderated if your group has the "Moderated" box checked. The function is intended for use with groups with the "New Users Moderated" box checked, not the "Moderated" box. If it is your intent that all (or the vast majority) of your group members be moderated at all times then checking the "Moderated" box is correct, and to override that for yourself choose "Override: not moderated" at the bottom of your membership page (click on your row in the Members or Moderators list). If, on the other hand, you expect to unmoderate most members after they prove themselves then choose "New Users Moderated" instead of "Moderated" for the group setting. With that choice you can let members be automatically unmoderated after a set number of approved messages, or manually unmoderate them using the "Approve and Unmoderate" button on their next pending message.

Re: Running the transfer a second time to pick up photos missed the first time
Dale,
I tried using the advice suggested with only the "photos" box checked,Clue number 1 that something's wrong. I am not the owner who initiated the first transfer. Could that beI strongly suspect that is the issue. It explains why you didn't see the prior transfer in the Existing Transfers list - only the account which initiated the transfer has access to that. It probably also explains why your attempts have failed. One of the requirements to do a re-transfer is to delete the record of the existing (prior) transfer; something you couldn't do and the other owner probably didn't know to do. If there's reason the other owner can't handle the new transfer then I think Gerald's right and you'd need help from Support to clear things out so that you can start fresh, or maybe jump-start your transfer.

Re: Database help please
Pamala,
I think my problem lies in the fact that I want to move a row from oneThe key is that you have to do that by re-arranging the rows (lines) in the CSV file. The ID numbers won't be included in the exported CSV, and they will be automatically assigned, in the order of the lines in the CSV file, when imported.

Re: suddenly many yahoo.com members are bouncing, but not all of them
Ruthie, Frances, Ken, Jim,
The Email Deliver History says, "554 delivery error: dd Sorry, yourIt seems that Yahoo is doing some spring cleaning of dormant accounts, and that's the message you get for accounts that have been disabled. As some have mentioned in beta, clearing out accounts that haven't been signed in for over a year has been a longstanding policy at Yahoo, but only intermittently enforced. Bottom line: These are likely to be subscribers that transferred over from your Yahoo Group. They are likely to be No Email, but even if not they haven't been reading your group's messages (otherwise they wouldn't be dormant). So my advice is to let them go. Either ignore them or (if you prefer a tidier Bouncing list) remove them. Shal FWIW: I took this heads-up as a prompt to go and sign in to each of my handful of test accounts at Yahoo. It looks like I'll lose one of them because even though I know its password, Yahoo requires that I verify one of its recovery addresses/phone numbers. Unfortunately that one has only one recovery option, and it is a long-dead email address at my former ISP. In that condition, the only recovery option is to speak to an agent. I could do that, as I have record of the "secrets" I set for that account, but I'm not going to bother. -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Hello all,
I manage a small private group for the board of directors of a nonprofit and I have 2 questions. 1) We manually migrated about 12 years of files from Yahoo a few months back and they are a big mess, with obscurely named files in all sorts of folders. I am determined to clean things up by renaming and reclassifying (via folders). When I do a Search on Files, I don't see what folder each file is in. Is this something that can be achieved by changing settings? Or does it seem like a valid/beneficial change request? 2) Is there a way to attach hashtags to files? I would like to use one or two hashtags to cross-reference files to a particular location and/or year so that they can be searched in this manner. Is this possible? Thanks in advance, Chris? |

Hi Jim,
it was changed to be that was in Feb 2018; I'm not up to date with the reasoning behind that. /g/GroupManagersForum/message/4641 I'm not aware that a user or group setting can override that default.? If there is, it could be useful to know. Andy |

Re: Help: Earthlink now bouncing emails sent to *me* from Groups.io groups I own
Charles You mention that Junu and Virginia presumably unbounced themselves.? How is that done?? What is the Unbounce Operation? One unbounces by responding to a bounce probe. I believe either by email reply or by clicking a link. Note though that this will not change Earthlink's behavior. If they're still blocking some messages addressed to you then you're likely to end up with Bouncing status again. Also, what does the Bounce Probe do? ? Tests whether the email account receives messages from Groups.io I sent one to those affected and see in the Recent Successful Delivery that the message was accepted. I think the member must take an overt action to complete the unbounce - either by replying to the message or clicking on a link in it. Though on a technical basis I'm not sure why the acceptance itself wouldn't be considered sufficient.
