Re: How do I see the Date and Time that messages were posted on the FALI message board?

Thank you, Frances.?

Yes, Mark seems to be a really stand up individual, so I'm sure everyone is doing all they can. Including the users in this group who are so forthcoming sharing what they know.?

Re: Upgraded to Premium and THEN saw the notice...
Thank you Shal and Frances. Shal, you also can't move onto Step 2, at least I wasn't able to, because the green button has been disabled to start the transfer. My guess is that has to do with the Yahoo outage.? I'm guessing the best thing to do is see if the outage is fixed and at the same time, also be working a workaround.? Thanks, all!

Re: Export database with images

Can a database with images be exported and the images show up in the exported file?Charles -- I believe the answer is "no." Exporting as CSV definitely won't work. I have exported such databases as json objects and attempted to import them into Excel, without success. It seems that the export function fails to escape the images into unicode, and the resulting file I'm getting is too small to even possibly contain the images. If others have done a more rigorous check and met with more success I'd love to hear about it.? Regards, Bruce |

Re: Unable to transfer old Yahoo group
Terri,
Oh brother. so Shal could have a point, they could be overloadingThat was actually Duane's comment, not mine. I'm not certain that Yahoo does rate limiting by group, in the past it has always been access from a given IP address that gets limited, regardless of how many groups that address was accessing. Rate limiting by group would be problematic, especially back when some groups had hundreds of thousands of active members. On the other hand, most of what I "know" about Yahoo's internal workings dates from Classic groups - the team that put Neo in place has been much more opaque about the inner workings. I'm not going to discourage anyone from trying to capture content before it is removed.

Re: Are messages to members saved?
When using the "Send message" function to email a member about a pending post, is the message saved somewhere? I have looked but can't find them. (Of course, this is if it was not BCCed to mods) The "+owner messages" tab on the member's profile does not show anything. Are these messages FROM the member to?+owner?Not sure exactly what you mean.??Have you checked out Admin, Activity? If you mean you clicked on reply in the web interface and then made it private, there is an option to check off "BCC me". If you were rejecting a message and explained why, you will see the reason in Activity. You asked about +owner messages. Go to your own profile in Members (select moderators) and you can see +owner messages from you.? Thanks -? Admin-Activity - I checked all the tabs but none have the message. Just if a message was rejected. But no "send message" from the pending page. I did not BBC although I should have, which is why I am trying to find the message and know if/where to find them in future. Having them accessible on the web is better than lost in my emails.? On my own profile, I do not see those kind of messages in any of the tabs either. |
Re: Unable to transfer old Yahoo group
Oh brother.? so Shal could have a point, they could be overloading Yahoo's servers and getting in Mark's way.? I don't know how they archive anything at this point since it's impossible to read messages.? Do we really need their help?? We're all saving our own groups.? ?If this outage is due to their "help," they're doing more harm.? I hope Yaoho can come back long enough for people to get their groups moved here.
Thanks, Frances. Terri |
Re: Are messages to members saved?
Niman,
When using the "Send message" function to email a member about aNo. Hence the Bcc checkboxes so that you can save it yourself. The "+owner messages" tab on the member's profile ... Are theseCorrect. There was discussion long ago in beta about adding messages from +owner to this tab, or having a more general list of messages to/from the +owner address. That was never acted on.

Re: Unable to transfer old Yahoo group
A volunteer organization.
Their home page says:?Archive Team is a loose collective of rogue archivists, programmers, writers and loudmouths dedicated to saving our digital heritage. Since 2009 this variant force of nature has caught wind of shutdowns, shutoffs, mergers, and plain old deletions - and done our best to save the history before it's lost forever.? Wikipedia: ?
