That raises an interesting point; where the Directory is available to Subscribers an Owner / Moderator has no clue when looking at the Directory about whether any given individual's profile is publicly visible or not. Even logging in as an ordinary member may not help much because the Directory is not searchable and a manual search through (perhaps) many pages to find out if a given Subscriber is visible or not would almost certainly be rather tedious.

So... should the Directory provide a simple means for a Owner/Moderator to see if an entry is public or not? Or does it not really matter?

Even if it should now is probably not the time to ask...

Frances,

I did find how to find the Feed page after I followed your explanation, and now I know what the icon discussion is about. I did add an image a while back, but had forgotten I did that. When I read at the place where the icon is added "The group icon is displayed on the mobile home page.", for some reason I thought this icon was for mobile devices like Smartphones and the like. I'm guessing now the word "mobile", must mean something else than I thought.

I respectfully disagree.? The group description title points one to exactly where the group description is without having to give it much thought.? Same as in a paper the title Introduction lets one know what follows is the introduction.

When things have calmed down, you can post this suggestion to Beta that Mark (Groups.io) monitors. GMF is a peer-to-peer forum only.
That being said, good to start a discussion about such things here first.

FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups
GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

I wonder if it is possible to remove the sub-title "Group Description" from my front page? I find it annoying and redundant for it to be stuck there between the Group Title and my description, when it is perfectly obvious that the paragraph I have written is a description of my group.? SUGGESTION - get rid of this unnecessary sub-title, or at least make it editable. Somebody from the Monty Python Department of Redundancy Department must have thought of making it a permanent part of the layout.?

Please review this FAQ:

Yes, but it can be a bit tedious, so you wouldn't want to do it too often.

Richard -- Keep in mind that your changes will only affect the online message archive. The emails have already gone out; if anyone replies, you'll end up doing a split-and-merge all over again. Consider putting both topics on moderation so you can head off any incoming posts with the wrong subject line and redirect them.

I would like to upgrade my group Easy400Group to Premium.
Questions:
- Where can I find a procedure to do that?
-Can I have my billing sento to my Paypal account?

I understand that every member has the ability to make their profile unavailable to other subscribers, but given that 729 of the 733 subscribers transferred from our Yahoo Group were not visible to this user...

Have you created a dummy member (an ordinary member) for yourself yet, to log into the group with, so that you can see what an "ordinary" member would ordinarily see? And... are you able to see everybody's profiles in the directory, when you're logged in with the dummy user?

the cover photo shows on the “normal” mobile (and PC) home page. (At least it’s does on mine)

The icon should also be used on the Manage My Groups page on a small device, so the information is intentional a bit vague.? BTW, I don't have one of those devices, but I can simulate it by making my browser window very small since the site uses responsive programming.

If those that were transferred didn't already have a GIO account, the default would have been to hide their profile, so having most of them hidden wouldn't be too surprising to me.? There's no setting you can make to change that.

The wording on the cover photo admin page should more correctly read:

Thanks to everyone for your replies.?

Frances
2 work arounds....

one
Email the pic from the phone to yourself, then save it back. I’ve found that (usually, but it is apple world y’ah know) the image will attach as a jpeg or png, and a further benefit you can email as a reasonable physical size (not museum wall size as apple sizes pics) and?consequently a reasonable file size.?

two
I also have 2 free resizing apps that will save back a copy as a compatible format.?

Ive found that heic doesn’t really save enough space to put up with the BS.?

There is a free app that shows the complete xif file info (file extension, physical size, file size, etc) if you want to check the format.)

That Yahoo Group is already a part of another transfer.

You'll need to remove the previous (completed) transfer from the list.? If you don't see it, then you need to find the person that did the transfer and have them remove it.

Support is intended for bug reports (or possibly tech problems) and there's a serious backlog right now.? General questions about operation are deflected to GMF or Group_Help which are user-to-user groups.

I'm fine with deleting the subgroup if I could get the information into the main group.

Does that work only for their transferred group? (Not needing a password to log into the group)

Sandi/Suzanne -- You can participate in multiple groups without ever creating a password if you don't want to. However, it is highly recommended that you create a password anyway, so you can still log in without access to your email.

I may be be wrong but I thought I was asked to establish a password to log into the main GIO website when I wanted to create a group or join a different group.

If while logged out, you click "Join This Group" and enter an email address already known to groups.io, it will ask you to log in under that email address before proceeding. But the log in dialog never forces you to establish a password.
