Thanks for the useful comments, Duane. I see now that the Groups.io "Reply to" links in the message footer do what they're supposed to do. The bug in TB 60.x is a separate issue and it's not really a problem given the other Reply features that are available.

I regularly use that trick of highlighting the text that I want included in my reply, but sometimes the text needs major surgery and that's when I start with the whole message in my reply and then pare it down to the bare bones.

Can email messages and chats be filed in a folder for archiving and organizing by subject?? I know that hashtags can be used to some extent, but it seems like those can get out of hand.??

Shal and Duane,

thank you! :-)

Now everything is clear to me to start over.

All the Best,

Isidro,

> Can I transfer multiple yahoo groups to subgroups of a main group?

Yes.

Perform a separate transfer for each Yahoo Group, selecting the appropriate Groups.io subgroup as the destination.

Your pre-paid upgrade to premium covers all the transfers into the primary group and its subgroups.

The one catch is that all members of a Groups.io subgroup must also be a member of the associated primary group. So as you do the transfers into subgroups, any addresses not already in the primary group will be automatically added to both the subgroup and primary group.

That would depend on how you have your group archives set.? If they're Public, as here on GMF, then you don't even need to be logged into the site to read them.? If they're Private, only logged in members can read them online.? Once you've set them to Private, you can't revert to Public.

Just under the message in question, click the More button/icon, then select Delete Message there.? You'll be asked to confirm your choice.

New group and new owner here. I just figured out how to get into my profile (not group profile) by clicking on the privacy icon on the left side of the screen. I was able to put a picture on and change one of my privacy settings so people can see me in directory. When I tried to send a message to the rest of the group to tell them how to change that privacy setting, the "privacy" icon was gone from my left screen menu! At least one other member had a problem with an icon disappearing...not sure which one but it may have been the same. Please help!

Is this supported here at groups.io to do this?

Sure!? Everyone will need to be in the Main group.? When the Main transfer is done, everyone that gets transferred will get an email to that effect.? As each additional group is added as a subgroup (which will need to be set up before starting the transfer), they may get another email.? Anyone in one of the additional groups that isn't in the Main group will be added there when they're added to the subgroup.? Clear as mud?

I am using Thunderbird version 60.9.0. I have it configured to automatically quote the original message when replying. Then I trim the quoted part down to the relevant text. When I try to reply to a groups.io message (either an individual message or a digest message) using the Reply to Group link in the footer options, a new message window opens in Thunderbird with the correct address and subject, but there is no quoted text.

The footer is just a Mailto: link that fills in the address and subject.? You'd need to use the reply function within TB to do what you want.? A quick way to do that is highlight what you're respoinding to before clicking Reply.

Larry,

Member Directory, with a choice of options
and
Members Visible, with a choice of options

What is the difference?

The Members Directory is a feature designed to allow group members to learn about each other. It does not reveal email addresses, but each member can create a group profile and then make it available to other members to see. In the profile they might say a few things about themselves relevant to the group (like, "I've been a bird watcher since 1975" in a bird related group).

Whether that kind of sharing is appropriate to the nature of the group is for the group admins to decide, which is why you have the choice of options.

The other, "Members" refers to the Members list. That's normally an admin-only list, but it can be made available to members if that's appropriate for the group. Say a group of people who know each other in real life. When made available to members, they see only a few of the columns, not all that an admin sees. In particular members can see: Display Name, Email, Delivery, and Applied (Joined).

Finally, does a groups.io Group member need to be a groups.io
registered member to access the Group messages, pictures and files on
the Group website?

They need to log in to the website. The don't even need to establish a password, just have the site email them a link that logs them in.

The word "registered" implies a lot of process and formality that does not exist in Groups.io.

Yes, every member has a Groups.io account associated with their email address, but that account was created automatically and they don't need to access it if they don't want to. But, if they do log in and access their account, then there are controls and options there that they may find useful. Like setting their time zone.

I have just successfully transferred my first Yahoo Group to groups.io; every valid member, message, picture and file transferred correctly. What a relief!

Now, I have a question I hope one of you will answer. In the groups.io settings, there are two entries under General Privacy:

Member Directory, with a choice of options

and

Members Visible, with a choice of options

What is the difference?

Finally, does a groups.io Group member need to be a groups.io registered member to access the Group messages, pictures and files on the Group website? I cannot tell because I am already a groups.io registered member. Yahoo membership was required to access these website features. Is groups.io registration needed to do so?

How does a moderator or owner delete a single message from a conversation in the message archives?? I tried to delete one message and the only option it gave me was to delete the entire conversation.

If you don’t need the features offered by the premium subscription, you can return to the basic after a year.
