Re: How do I reply to message in Digest Mode?
In trying to reply to a message in Full Digest it says:?Do not reply to this email. To reply to a message, click the Reply link under the message.Hi Ruth, Yes, the digest has Do not reply to this email. To reply to a message, click the Reply link under the message. And when you scroll down to a message, each message should have a few reply options, including View/Reply Online. This should be there for each message: View/Reply Online | Reply To Group | Reply To Sender | Mute Topic | Top ^ | New Topic So you can read or reply online, if you prefer. Or click for that specific message and reply by your email. There might be another issue because of Outlook. Someone else might have more info. But in the meantime, hope this helps!

You must choose from among these four options. At least one of these options must be set as a spam-control measure.
?
Restricted Membership - Moderators must approve any new subscribers.
Announcement Group - Only Owners and Moderators are allowed to post.
Moderated - ALL messages are held pending moderator approval before being sent to the group.
New Users Moderated - Messages from new subscribers are held pending moderator approval. After the set number of consecutive messages are approved, the subscriber is automatically unmoderated.
If you choose Restricted only, you do not need to moderate ANY messages, if you wish. But you will have to approve new subscribers. There is no Spam Control setting that will allow a new subscriber to join your group without approval and immediately post an unmoderated message.
See this link about unmoderating everybody. /g/GroupManagersForum/message/18347 Frances ? -- FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers |

?
An exception is New Users Moderated, which is the default Spam Control setting when a group is created. Another exception occurs for group members copied in by the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer feature: those members are initially given the Posting Privilege they had in the Yahoo Group.
?You can reduce the required spam control moderation to 1 post in Admin, Settings, Spam Control. Be sure to scroll down and Update Group to make any changes stick. And this from the wiki page: How do I know who is specifically moderated?
In the members list there may be badges after the display of each member's email address; some badges relate to moderation and when present these indicate that the member has an override to the group's Moderated checkbox. See Status Badges in the Members List for a list of the badges. In a new group the NuM (New User Moderated) is the only moderation badge that is likely to appear, all of the rest must be manually assigned to the member by a group owner or moderator.
?
Note: particularly long email addresses my cause badges to be hidden by the next column (Delivery). in such cases you may need to widen the display window, or zoom out, to make the badges visible.
?
Each member's Posting Privilege setting may override the group's Moderated checkbox. See the Member Controls and Group Controls sections below for more detail.

Stage 4 is the biggest bottleneck, as only so many groups at a time can be imported without overloading the system. There's no estimate as to how long each group takes to be imported, because each group is different (how many photos, how many messages, etc).

Re: YG outage
Same here - I upgraded my group on Friday and attempted to start the transfer process.? I did receive confirmation that [email protected] joined my group, but there has been no status update on my transfer page.? It's a little frustrating after upgrading specifically for this purpose.? I'm not sure if I should start sending emails manually to have people join the group?

Returned and created a TOL page (home/index). Then pasted the URL into it, linked to a text of the Major Page Title, not just left as a displayed URL.? I decided my own font size, line spacing, and formating instead of using coding formats discussed in Shal's reply. At some point, I ended up pasting the partially completed TOL into Pages (Mac equivalent of Word) and then I played with formating and organizing. When satisfied, I copied it back to the TOL page which preserved all my formatting. ? I ended up using a Roman Numeral format for our TOL page and I moved the URLs around under I got the order that I liked.? 3. Repeated the process for each additional "major" page.? 4. Then I built a side bar.? I set the TOL and Major pages editing so that only the myslef and the owner can edit it. The other linked pages can be edited by members.? I have 8 Major topic pages and they in turn have 0 to 2 subpages. I can foresee that as more wiki pages are added, it might become difficult in the drop down menu to figure out if all the pages are linked to one of the Major Page- the ones I listed in the TOL. It went fairly fast. Took 30-60 minutes over the course of 3-4 days to create a 20 page linked wiki.? -- Sandi Dickenson Moderator of ASG Volunteers Group |
How do I reply to message in Digest Mode?
In trying to reply to a message in Full Digest it says: Do not reply to this email. To reply to a message, click the Reply link under the message.
I'm working in Outlook and when I click either Reply to Group or Reply to Sender, it opens Windows Mail. So I tried opening the digest mail there, clicked on Reply to Group and it opened another Windows mail window. I tried this a number of times.? What am I doing wrong???D Ruth D |
Re: clickable links
Ronaldo,
? Assuming she used the groups.io messages editor to create that message, it must had been how she typed the link; if she didn't use the http or www prefix, the clickable link will not automatically inserted. ? ? To see what I mean, type cnn.com and press enter or space, nothing will happen, but add www.?or http:// in front of it, go to the end and press Enter or space, and the text will automatically be formatted with the link. ? ? The other way of making a link clickable is to?highlight the text link and click on the hyperlink icon on the?groups.io?message editor, she may have forgotten to do this. ? Yet another way this can happen is if she copied and pasted a well-formatted link but it was text-only, like from a text file or something, and then moved somewhere else in the message body; you have to go to the end of the pasted link and press enter or space in order for the clickable line to auto-insert. ?(in contrast copying and pasting already-formatted links from another non text-only app, liker your web browser, will create the clickable link regardless, you don't have to do anything in that case) ?

Re: Office 365 Issues
Ken,
Question: Why am I only receiving this error when posting to groups.ioInteresting question. In a similar case Lena tracked it down to being one of the service's three outbound servers lacking DNS entries. The one in three would seem to explain a certain amount of randomness in which messages get through and which don't. /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/61705815#24556 I suspect something similar is happening for other email addresses supported by Office 365, though the details may vary. If you want, you can CC my email address on some future messages sent to Groups.io groups, then let me know which, if any, bounced. I don't know that both copies of a CC'd message would go out from the same server, but could verify it if you also forward the bounce message to me. That would let me see what Gmail's analysis of the sending authentication has to say.

There have been several postings sent from some of my members thatWhat else have you checked? Fortunately Groups.io provides good tools for tracking down your delivery problems. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Not-Receiving-Messages I wanted to see if others are experiencing the same.I think nearly 100% reception is more typical than four out of five.

Re: Table of contents in a wiki
#wiki
Frances,
But I can't figure out how to get rid of the numbering. Here's what myI believe that indicates that you have no paragraphs marked as Header 1 or Header 2. Select the Header level in the Formats drop down. When you open that drop-down a black bar on the left marks the current format of the paragraph you're in. You must start at Header 1 for your outermost level, else the TOC gets confused. There aren't any numbers in these headings.Unfortunate but true. That fact makes it much less obvious what's going on. The only way I know to identify the current paragraph's header level is to drop the Formats menu (or guess based on font size, if you haven't changed it from the default). And I don't see anything in source - at least not looks like it would create numbering.That's just a marker for the position of the TOC. The "3" is the number of levels you selected. For shorter pages I typically use 1, sometimes 2 for longer pages. Even the Transfer details page I only used 2. The actual rendered TOC is created "behind the scenes" (in the presentation code, I think) - it doesn't even show in the Source code view. In the body of the page you should see text marked like this: <h1>top level header</h1> <p>Ordinary Paragraph</p> The number after "h" in those HTML tags is the level number (depth) not the sequence number of that header.
