If your invitation was received, it will say so in the box at the top of the resulting page.

quoted text not included in digests

 

I've been getting blank posts in digests, because apparently quoted text is not included, so neither are members' inline responses. Is there a setting where that can be changed?

Thanks.

Recent reports say that acceptance is around 7-10 days.? As long as the status page says it was received, all you have to do is wait until it's accepted.? As far as I know, no one has had a problem once the invitation is received.? I'm sure it's not easy, but try to relax. ;>)

I was looking at the Yahoo Group and the "old Join date". Can that be edited when users join the new site?

No, that date is set automatically, either when they join your group here or whatever date is present on YG during the transfer.

Re: Question [about IP addresses and banning]

1. Can you banned someone with using a different email address that matches there same IP addy?
There is currently no function to ban an IP address.

2. How can you delete messages from the group site ?
Select "Delete Message" from the More hamburger menu found at lower right of the message.

3. Is there anyway you can hide an IP address when you join a group that is not cool thing that our iP addys are out there ? Not saying me but it is true? I had members asking me and I have no idea but that is a private matter with that.
IP addresses are logged in some situations and can also be viewed in message headers (using the "View Source" function). However, from the above I don't fully understand what you want to happen.

Hi, Duane, and thanks for the response.

However, as [email protected] has yet to accept my invitation, I have not been able to make it a moderator in order to start the process.

I¡¯m fine with a long time for completion; there¡¯s no activity expected currently in the YG, but I get worried that there¡¯s some glitch preventing acceptance (though I wasn¡¯t hit with the ¡®doesn¡¯t want¡¯ bug).

There was a problem getting invites to the transfer agent yesterday evening.? You can find out if the invitation has been received by checking the transfer status of your group.? See /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948? After the invite is received, there's a delay of a few days until it will be accepted, so keep checking the status page until it changes.

Thank you for your help. I checked and this option was enabled, but I did not receive a message when I requested to join the group using a different email address.?
As you noted, this notification is sent to the Moderator/Owner address, not the new subscriber address. Be sure to look in the correct inbox. If that's all fine, check your Spam/Junk mail folder to see if the notification landed there. Finally, check your Email Delivery History to see if the notification bounced due to some temporary condition.

Thank you Bruce for the quick reply. I'll forward it to the group's owner.

It's in Admin>Settings>Message Policies. Note that this permission cannot be assigned to a single person. If this box is checked, any subscriber can do the download.

There is also an Export Group Data function, but I've been unable to figure out which of the Moderator permissions would allow one to do that. It's possible the function is only available to Owners.

If there's no status at all, not even the box instructing you to send
the invitation, then you haven't initiated the transfer, and your
invitation will be discarded. See the screen shot under "Start the
Transfer Process" here:

An invitation I sent out from a Yahoo Group over the weekend took about
12 hours to arrive in my email inbox. So it may not have evaporated.

Out of desperation I went/have-been looking in the rolls by date; the most recent join was in 2018.?

I also sent another invite yesterday, just in case, and again this morning, because...

Of course, I also accept that YG may be choking right now, as I¡¯d sent a note off to two different other YGs where the move to .io is already done, and my server told me that they were not successful in sending them, now twice (two notices, a day apart).

Sigh...

Thanks for the assistance.? Like many here, this amounts to an entire history which will be flushed soon if we don¡¯t succeed.

enable download_archives permission

valcos
 

Hi,

I would like to download archives from a group, however I see that I don't have the download_archives permission (/api#download-archives).
I asked the group's owner but he doesn't know how to grant me this permission. Is there any documentation that explains how to enable the download_archives permission for a group?

Thanks in advance,
Valerio

There are a few places to find information as noted in my signature below.? The Wiki here on GMF is public, so you could refer users to it if needed.

The grouping/threading of posts is automatic and can not be turned off.? Once others learn how the group works, splitting usually isn't needed very much.

Hello chaps,
I'm fairly new to Groups.io (I came from Yahoo Groups). I have various questions...

* Can you set messages to avoid the grouping and the need to use the Split?

Click on Ctrl and + at the same time on the keyboard and the fontsize increase.

Re: Downloading group from Yahoo while waiting for transfer

 

YG is both "choking" user download and delay posting the last posts.

I have been downloading over 20 sites the past few days.? Starting last night they started "choking" or throttling? downloads .? We keep keen eye on the net conditions, ping tests, etc.? The slow down is YG.? I have also found some of the sites appear and then disappear in front of our eyes.? YG is shutting down servers and since they are redundant servers, the remaining ones are choking.

Verizon is planning on building a new package to compete with facebook and google forums and such.? So they purchased YG structure to gut it and build something new.

I fully expect there will be more competitors to gourps in the near future.? Going from a 5,000 dollar project to a 100 million dollar project in 24 months.? Server capacity is near to noting in cost now days.


Re: Somehow my font size changed for one of my groups

 

Hi, Linda.? I suspect your browser is 'remembering' a font size setting for that URL.? Clearing your browser cache will force the browser to reload the site, and may clear that setting.? Clearing cache does not cause the browser to lose all remembered login credentials - that would only happen if you 'cleared data' as well.
