The ability for users to edit their own posts is potentially quite handy. ? But I had a case last week where a user edited his post six times, making trivial changes, and it went to the group every time ¨C really annoying, especially as you had to look really hard to see what had changed. And when you multiply the time wasted deciding that there¡¯s nothing to see here by the 7000+ members, that¡¯s a lot of wasted time. ? So I chided him and suggested that editing a post to remove trivial mistakes so it¡¯s good for the archive is fine, just don¡¯t send it to the group again each time. But he came back to me yesterday saying that according to groups.io support, only moderators have the ability to edit without reposing. ? Is this actually true? If so, I think I¡¯ll have to remove users¡¯ edit rights. ? By the way, thanks to groups.io for a great service. It¡¯s such a relief from the misery that was Yahoo! ? Richard King

Has the GMF Yahoo group Migrated to io?
Hi everyone,
I'm really behind the 8-ball. I notice that all my GMF emails are not yahoo.
My real question has to do with the ATT Yahoo email accounts. How can I find out if it affects me. I don't know who hosts my Yahoo email account. I know it's not SBCGlobal. I checked on ICANN but couldn't find it. Can someone help me please?

Re: AOL truncates message titles, causing lack of threading
Some email clients truncate the subject. I use Pegasus4.63 and that chops the subject to 35 char.
OK, Tony

Re: AOL truncates message titles, causing lack of threading
Yes, the subjects in my group tend to be very long. I thought about counting the number of characters but haven't had time to do that yet. I'll try to get around to it. My main efforts so far have been in the direction of continuing to beg and plead with this member to switch to gmail for the group. She's the last holdout (there are a couple more, but they use mainly the web for the group). J

Re: AOL truncates message titles, causing lack of threading
J, It happens every single time this member posts. It seems that AOL
allows message titles to be only a certain length long, and then it
truncates. Every time? I haven't seen the behavior so I'm not thinking that AOL does this to every reply. Does this member only reply to messages with lengthy Subjects (perhaps all message Subjects in your group are lengthy)? Or am I missing something? Sometimes, just one letter is cut off at the end. Other times, a
whole phrase. I'm curious, not that it matters, but can you tell if there's enough consistency in the behavior to state a rule like "Truncates Subjects longer than (say) 72 characters"? Shal

And BTW, it's not "the example." It's examples, plural. It happens every single time this member posts. It seems that AOL allows message titles to be only a certain length long, and then it truncates. Sometimes, just one letter is cut off at the end. Other times, a whole phrase. It had me stumped for awhile, because when you first glance at it, it LOOKS like it's the same. But if you look closely, there's a character missing at the end. Etc. J?

Re: AOL truncates message titles, causing lack of threading
J, Just a heads up. I've noticed that every time my last holdout AOL
member responds to a message, it starts a new thread. I've figured
out it's because AOL is truncating message titles. Wow. The one example I happen to have at hand of a reply from an AOL member (using the AOL UI and not Apple Mail or iPhone Mail) doesn't include either an In-Reply-To or References field. (The Apple products included both fields.) And, that message didn't include any quoted material - the only evidence I have that it was a reply at all is the Re: at the front of the Subject. So there's pretty much no hope of knowing that it was a reply. Maybe consider it a Subject match if it matches within the length that it is, ignoring the extra length of the existing topic. You might send the example (group name and message numbers) to [email protected] along with that suggestion. The other thing that could break a subject match (but I've only seen this out of Yahoo, I think) is HTML vomit (e.g. changing apostrophes into the ' aka "& # 3 9 ;" without the spaces). Shal

Just a heads up. I've noticed that every time my last holdout AOL member responds to a message, it starts a new thread. I've figured out it's because AOL is truncating message titles. So this is another problem with AOL, in addition to the automatic unsubscribes created by its poor spam processing. J

Re: Can Owners Change Members Email Address
No, there's no way for anyone other than the member to change it. They can change it if they can sign in to the site instead of creating a new account. On any page, at the upper right, they can click on their name, then select Account. It will show the email address they are using. To change it, enter the new one and click on Change Email just below it. They should receive an email to confirm the new one. If they do it this way, they're still associated to any posts, files, etc.

Re: Can Owners Change Members Email Address
ps The downside of that method is the new email address won't be connected with the proof ones's membership page and actions. So better if they can do it themselves.

Re: Can Owners Change Members Email Address
Yes, they have to do it themselves. Your plan is what I usually do if the member can't figure it out. J
