Re: "Average Pace" of transfers

 

I agree.? It's gone way quicker than expected in recent days.? Our group is in the final 10 countdown right now to import and we were at #100 on Monday

limits on wiki html --- embed ? , iframe ? , etc (?) #wiki

 

Hello :)

Is there anywhere that documents thw tags we can use in a Wiki page, or any other limitations?

For example, I'm seeing that <iframe>s? are stripped when I save a page.
Is that expected?

What are all the allowed or perhaps all the disallowed tags in a Wiki page?


Re: Change destination for one of my group transfers

 

Dale,
?
I am going to try to say this as nicely as I can.
?
First off, Groups.io and Mark are not in any way focused on ringing the cash register.
?
Secondly, one reason possibly why your groups imported incorrectly could be because You when choosing which Yahoo group to import to which Groups.io group could have chosen the wrong group.
?
Mark and Groups.io are trying their best to get all the Yahoo groups transferred to Groups.io.? A lot of this transfer process is manual, which means a lot of time spent.? You will find when the importing of Yahoo groups tapers off, you will get a same day assistance or answer when support is contacted most of the time.
?
PLEASE, be patient.? Support will get to your problem as soon as possible.

Kathleen,? this is what happened to me, somehow my YG Group was Mis-Mapped to Transfer to the wrong Destination IO group.? I sent emails for a week to Support at IO and never got a human reply.? There was no way to change/fix the destination.? I thought that maybe if I paid the $200 expedite fee they would see my emails asking to fixt the mapping.? ?The worst ting happned, they put the wrong Members, files and messages into the wrong group.

Converting IgnoredAmbience's JSON files to EML

 

Hello everyone

I'm sure the folks over at IgnoredAmbience[1] will write a fantastic script to convert their JSON files to EML or MBOX, but in the mean time, if anyone wants to convert JSON files downloaded using IgnoredAmbience's python script, this little AutoIt script of mine may be able to do it:



It converts the non-HTML JSON files to EML files, which Thunderbird accepts as "real" e-mail files.

Re: reply to sender/group

Sandi D.
 

I think I finally understand what you are saying and for your group, it does seem to make sense. From what you explained, it is because members either aren't paying attention or they don't understand what they are doing.?

In this situation, I would consider other solutions.?
If it is a recurring problem througout the group, perhaps a monthly notice educating them on the proper process could go out for the next 6 months.
If the problem is confined to a few known users, then perhaps educate them each time they email you instead of the group.?

You could make a wiki page tutorial and refer them to that.?

This does seem to be eithet an educational issue or a one of the user not caring enough to learn and make a corrective action.?

Lucy -- If it's only happening in the one group that you own, that suggests something amiss with that group.

Try this:?
-- Click open your Settings page (Admin>Settings).
-- Scroll down to the Features>Photos block.
-- Look at "Max Size in Email." Pull down the menu and change the entry to "No resizing."
-- Scroll further down and click the blue "Update Group" button.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

It looks like your email client is tiling the background because the screen width is too wide.

Re: Member Switchover Timing

 

What is her membership status? i.e. did she retain her join date of the yahoo date or is it the current join date? Not that most people will care, just curious.

I just completed an experiment for Bruce... One of my existing members joined our new empty group here, with the same email address, before the import. Bruce wondered it she still retained ownership of her messages AFTER the import, so I asked her to edit a message from 2016 in our newly imported group.

Voila! She was able to do so. Ownership was retained!

Also, her edit was sent for re-moderation and approval to post.

Hopefully, our little test will allay one worry about moving members and getting going here while awaiting import.


Re: Q about finding a particular member

Sandi D.
 

When searching for a particular member you need to search with a peice of known information that they have entered in your IO Group. Enter that in the search box. You don't say if your group is new or was transferred from YG. I am guessing transferred given you have 3000 members.?

The email address may or may not get you there. It should, if the member is still using the same email address they used in the YG. But if they signed up for IO under a different email address they could have changed their email address in the IO group if that was allowed.?

I moderate a new (not transferred) group. I have found searching?by name will not work unless the person entered part of their name as his/her display name. Those who have not logged into IO have a blank display name. Our group is set up to allow me to edit their Display Name. Any blanks, and fill it in with their real name. IDK, but am guessing that YG transfers may put their Yahoo user name in the IO display field. If so, that won't help you to search under their real name.?

They will not be listed in the directory by name unless you require them to use their name in the display field.
If your group is new and requires approval, you might search your approval emails for those containing the name you are looking for.?

My last suggestion is to download the CSV file (spreadsheet) of your members and use your computer software to search for portions of their previously known YG ID or YG email address. The CSV file contains their email, display and user name, among other things.?

In our group, we require every member to use their first name and last name initial (or last name) as their display name. We require everyone to use their Full Name in their signature. We require them to provide us (owner/moderator) their full name in the approval emails.?

IO balances personal privacy along with the IO Group Owners parameters for data sharing of personal information within the group. The only way you can ensure finding what you are searching for (in this case a name) is to maintain a personal spreadsheet of your members with everyone's data and add a name field to it. That way, if someone later switched their display name, you can refer to your spreadsheet that links real names to display names and email addresses.

Thanks Bruce for requesting the test... I think this will help many during this stressful transfer period.

Re: How to open files from Files section in browser

 

I think groups.io sends the data from the files section using a non-browser mime type with some intention. They want to avoid that the files-section is abused as a webserver (assumingly mostly due to legal considerations).

Re: How to get out of the download photo in groups.io

 

Margo Seegrist <rli@...> wrote:


I must be missing something. When I go to a photo in an album and I
click on Edit and go down to the bottom and click on download, up
comes the photo (which is great). After I right click and do the
Save as, I'm at a loss as to how to get out of the photo itself.
There is no "X" to click on . No "back". No column on the left side
to click on Photos again. The only way I've found to get out of that
state is to click my back arrow at the top of my server company
(AOL).
I'm not sure where "Edit" comes in, I don't see that, but I have
duplicated your experience after clicking "Download".

It happens this way because of the way your browser responds to the
GroupsIO page code - it displays the picture instead of offering it as a
download. The only way out of it, as you've found, is to use the
browser's "back" button (you might find the backspace key on the
keyboard also works).

To get round this, use the right-click "Save as" option on the download
button itself.

Question about backgrounds

I have a background in this email that has a leaf border on the right. I am sending along a messed up background picture and a picture of a correct background.

I am in two other groups and this is not happening in those groups.

Can you help me get the correct background back again. Thanks.
