Mark's reporting the yahoo problems and what he can and cannot do, so it's not us, it's yahoo.The "invalid address" error seems uniquely associated with inviting the transfer agent from the wrong provider (groups.io instead of Y!G). See screenshot below, and more to follow. We can only hope he finds a few more windows of opportunity to help people get moved over here.? It's a good place to read for updates and the latest information on yahoo's meltdown.is indeed a good place to check for updates of this nature. As for whether Y!G ever gets running again to the point that transfers again become possible, I'm not sure the good folks at Yahoo care to put any resources into that. Wondering on my end if PGOffline even works anymore. Bruce |

Re: Photos in Files Section
John,
Bruce's comment still applies. The distinction between a 'photo' and 'file' is very slight (actually non-existent as far as the server's concerned). The file extension is used simply to decide if this is an image - in which case use the 'album' style of presentation - or not. Simplistically, there are relatively few image formats (JPG, PNG etc) in use and people often like to browse the picture, not the filename.? Whereas there are just too many 'other' file formats out there to even try to display and it probably doesn't make much sense to either. It's really no more sophisticated than that. So a file format like PDF or DOCX etc. which can contain images is still just a file.? Allowing image files (JPG, PNG etc.) in the Files section is just a way of saying you don't want the thumbnail images shown, just the filename. Clicking on the filename then downloads the image, just as a regular file would. Regards Derek |

Does the image restriction also apply to images in .pdfs ?No, the restriction is for image file extensions - jpg, bmp, gif, etc. Duane -- Help: /static/help GMF's Wiki: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Search button at the top of Messages list A few site FAQs: /static/pricing#frequently-asked-questions |

Re: Photos in Files Section
One Yahoo Group successfully transferred to groups.io has manyMany groups have these, and it's a legacy from Yahoo at a time when they limited the size of images in Photos. The way around that limitation was to upload them to Files instead. As I recall it was requested that a way be developed to move these images into Photos rather than download and reupload so as to not lose ownership. The alternative is to do all that manually and then reassign them to the correct owner if they are still with the group. Dano |

The view appears to be universal (same across all groups.) It doesn't seem to update when first entering the site. Maybe Micro has some cookie controls set for this or all visited sites? |

ISIS,
To help with the download speed, DO NOT use WiFi.? WiFi cuts the speed by almost half.? Instead run the correct cable from the WiFi router to your computer.? Now you can download at much higher speeds. BMaverick |

And I assume that you have looked at Activity in Admin in Groups.io?

I believe jpg images should be restricted to the Photos section and that the option to Allow Photos in Files should be disabled.Larry -- As you have already mentioned, that can be done via a group setting. But, I wonder if textual files with embedded photos would also be inhibited by disabling this Allow Photos in Files option.No. Inhibition is based entirely on the file extension. If you rename a *.JPG file to *.DOC you can still upload it to Files no matter what the setting is. What file formats would display in the Files section?None. All you get is a link to the file.
