Terri, you can select the part you want which copies and pastes.?

On the group site, you can also use the little lasso beside Formats in the toolbar. It selects all. Edit after, if you wish.

When there are so many topics, it can get confusing!

There is a thread about quote position -?

There is another thread about showing quoted text -?

Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)

GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

Hello All,

I have calendar questions today.

1. Can the group calendar be printed? Can an option to print the group calendar by month or year or week?be added?

2. The group calendar list view only shows one month. Can the list view options be added to show the whole year or the next 30 events or calendar entries? Right now my group only has a few events per month and list view only shows one month at a time. Also, can a calendar list view print options be added??Thank you.


Respectfully,
Scott.

You've been probably asked this endlessly, but how do we respond on group as far as getting the post we're responding to in the reply box so we can trim it?

Can we still change the ABOUT page on YahooGroups.

Aren't automatic reminders files?? Files are gone, so will automatic reminders still go out?

Terri




Mod's note - added -"on YahooGroups" for clarity.

Guys, can we see on which message this is reply, like it was at yahoo groups?

See in the GMF wiki -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Member-Notices

Gina, the GMF wiki which anyone can see is quite helpful. And there is a search box at the top of the page.

There are Guidelines and Monthly Reminders.? Both go out on the 1st of the month.

A few site FAQs: /static/pricing#frequently-asked-questions

Perhaps my need is not clear. I need to get to the album cover that displays the selected cover photo, finding it among the 660 or so albums in my Group. I can get to the contents of the album by searching on album title or an individual picture but not to the album cover to check its cover photo. If there is a way to do this, I have not yet found it.

Larry

Duane, I can't make your "breadcrumb" hyperlink solution work in my Firefox browser. Please read my reply on 12/17/2019 titled, "Breadcrumbs" that describes what happens when I try your solution. I will appreciate knowing if this hyperlink approach works for you.

Larry

Hi folks,

I've searched the "help" until I can't see straight. But I can't find the answer to my questions:

How do you activate a monthly member notice??

That is, after you set it up, how do you send it out?

Yahoo owners & Moderators,
?
Folks, you still have the ability to tell others your group has MOVED from Yahoo to GIO.?
?
On your Yahoo ABOUT page, there is a Group Description.? You can make it with color fonts and walking banners if needed to get the attention of site visitors on that page who may want to subscribe there.
?
Here is a good example to check out for getting people's attention;
?
Also, on one of the groups I belong to, the owner has an outlook AUTOMATIC email reminder sent to his group twice a week, telling folks to unsubscribe from the Yahoo Group and join on GIO. Thus, in a month of inactivity, a minimum of 6 emails in the groups message base were to unsubscribe and join GIO with all of the joining details.

Doing these 2 actions setup once will be a continuous reminder to folks looking for your group on Yahoo.?
?
Here's a sample of the automatic reminder. ?

[subject text enhanced by moderator for relevance]

3 ways to get into Yahoo Groups (YG).
?
1. If you have a Yahoo email, login via the main Yahoo page.? This automatically gets you logged into Yahoo Groups too. :)? Once in the Yahoo Mail client, in the upper right corner is the box of DOTS.? Click on that and then click on SEE MORE.? One this new page scroll to GROUPS.? Now you are in. :)

2. Yahoo main page.? Just do a SIGN IN. Then on the top menu bar click on the more ...? Next pick Groups.? Now you are in. :)

3. web search for Yahoo Groups.? Sign in and you are good.

Basically, just sign into Yahoo and find groups.

The ONLY thing left in YG is the ABOUT page.? and the ability to subscribe or unsubscribe.?? Nothing else remains.? It's all DELETED. (or removed from our access permanently.)
?
Now, on the WAYBACKMACHINE folks can find a FEW things to still snag. :)??? It's one reason why the ARCHIVE TEAM was working so hard getting a clone of the groups before Verizon closed their access.

[mod note: the logic behind letting this thread continue is that the OP was seeking assistance moving his group to Groups.io. Otherwise messages with content purely about Yahoo Groups should be directed to the original GMF there: groupmanagersforum@... ]

But, I can't find a way to get directly to the photo album thumbnail in the 35 pages of Photo albums.

Is there a way to do this?

Duane's answer ("No") is unfortunately an accurate summary of the situation.

When the group of which I am a moderator migrated almost exactly 2 years ago we had to carry out a rapid weeding of the Photos to get within our 1GB storage allocation. On closer examination of what was retained it became obvious that after several years of benign neglect on Yahoo some radical action was required to sort out what we had into some semblance of order by removing the fuzzy, the duplicates (or near duplicates) the pointless, and so on. Near - duplicates were a real problem, often spread out over a number of Albums with often largely meaningless titles. Most of the clutter was down to members being able to create albums and upload into them without moderator intervention; this continues to be the case because we don't want to be heavy - handed in any way about what is suitable and what isn't. (NB: not suitable doesn't mean what you think it might!)

Albums were renamed and their contents shuffled about to create some sort of order out of the chaos. In the end I made an external index which resides in our wiki, with each entry being a link to the relevant Album; in a few cases the index links to individual photos within an album, and in some others the links are to sources of photo material hosted elsewhere than Groups.io - with the various outside site owners' permission of course.

We have not prevented members being able to create and fill albums, which means that over time disorder becomes a problem again so when the total occupied space creeps up a bit I sneak in after dark (so to speak) and get rid of it again; no - one seems to notice, which makes me wonder just how much our members actually use the Photo Archive.

Yes; it was a lot of work initially but the result is a much tidier and user - friendly system. I keep meaning to ask Mark if he could make the "front page" of the Photos Section either Owner - configurable or at the very least an alpha - numeric list of Album Titles; with a bit of care they can be listed in any order the owner wants by putting something like "01, 02...) in front of the Album Title.

For obvious reasons now is not the time to make any such request... and I'm not sure how much traction it would get anyway.

Erik,

Across the top of the screen is a photo of about 20 happy people
welcoming me ...

Above that photo you should be able to see a banner with black text on an ivory background. Read it, and click through the Learn More link

but the only menu item I's allowed to see is "About".

That's the only page that is left, apart from the pages from the Membership and Management links.

In the bar under the photo, next to About, you should see Membership in any group of which you are at least a member. And you should see Management in any group of which you are a mod or owner.

All my YaHoo groups are listed down the left side of the screen when I
click the top left icon.

When visiting one of your groups make sure the URL in your browser's address bar says /info at the end. If you don't see the Membership or Management menus, refresh the page until you do.

If none of that works for you, then I'm out of ideas.

What do I need to get into Yahoo? I've got one last forum to install
as a sub-group and I need to get the membership roll. Then I'm done,
finished, on to happy days!

"un-block" is one word, not two

Blocked means you switched his/her posting-status to "override - can not post"

Banned means you removed him/her and made it impossible for them to rejoin



groetjes, Ronaldo

oops, should have been @yahoogroups.com.

if you put yahoo groups in the search box on this group, you can read all about it here.

Terri

Hello,

So I received my group's data from the download request.

Files open right up but messages have names like mbox.

How do I open them and see the messages?

Thank you in advance,

Lorne
