Another thought is to use the wiki with sections for various types of information, then have links to the actual message within that section with a description of what it's about.? (Each message has a permalink at the upper right that you could copy and paste.)? Even a database could be used, but it would need to be one row per item.

Would like to create a collection of valuable postings / threads
#wiki
Hi
Our group would like a way to collect postings and threads that would be particularly valuable to have available for easy reference at any point in time. I know you can make posts sticky, but after a few years I foresee us having hundreds of these posts, and I think that's an excessive number of stickies. I thought maybe the WIKI would be a good way to do this.? But I don't see any kind of automatic connection between postings and wiki pages. Would messages have to be manually copied/pasted into a wiki entry?? That would would be very tedious. Is there another way to best accomplish my goal? |

Interesting (and annoying) about the changing links to photos in albums. Good to know, though.It's a continuing request to have permalinks to photos so they don't move around, similar to what is on messages.? Maybe one day...

Mark's reporting the yahoo problems and what he can and cannot do, so it's not us, it's yahoo.The "invalid address" error seems uniquely associated with inviting the transfer agent from the wrong provider (groups.io instead of Y!G). See screenshot below, and more to follow. We can only hope he finds a few more windows of opportunity to help people get moved over here.? It's a good place to read for updates and the latest information on yahoo's meltdown.is indeed a good place to check for updates of this nature. As for whether Y!G ever gets running again to the point that transfers again become possible, I'm not sure the good folks at Yahoo care to put any resources into that. Wondering on my end if PGOffline even works anymore. Bruce |

Re: Photos in Files Section
John,
Bruce's comment still applies. The distinction between a 'photo' and 'file' is very slight (actually non-existent as far as the server's concerned). The file extension is used simply to decide if this is an image - in which case use the 'album' style of presentation - or not. Simplistically, there are relatively few image formats (JPG, PNG etc) in use and people often like to browse the picture, not the filename.? Whereas there are just too many 'other' file formats out there to even try to display and it probably doesn't make much sense to either. It's really no more sophisticated than that. So a file format like PDF or DOCX etc. which can contain images is still just a file.? Allowing image files (JPG, PNG etc.) in the Files section is just a way of saying you don't want the thumbnail images shown, just the filename. Clicking on the filename then downloads the image, just as a regular file would. Regards Derek |

Re: Photos in Files Section
One Yahoo Group successfully transferred to groups.io has manyMany groups have these, and it's a legacy from Yahoo at a time when they limited the size of images in Photos. The way around that limitation was to upload them to Files instead. As I recall it was requested that a way be developed to move these images into Photos rather than download and reupload so as to not lose ownership. The alternative is to do all that manually and then reassign them to the correct owner if they are still with the group. Dano |
