I have an owner who needs to remain publicly silent, but helps in moderating messages.? To help relieve some of my workload, is it possible for her to send a message to a member that does not identify her directly, but only uses the owner address as the sender?? She can sign my name to the message---I just wouldn't have to send it myself, which would be a big help.

Re: Export database with images

I also would like to hear of a success in this area.It's probably not what you're looking for, but I was able to get the db including images.? I had to use the Export Group Data on the Settings page and choose Databases.? Then wait for the email with the download link to the ZIP file, get that, extract it.? The images are not in the data section, but in their own folder under the database name.? Rather convoluted, but will do for a backup.? It wouldn't allow members to do it though.

Re: Members unable to add photos to new messages
The only way I can determine that anyone would be missing the contents of the format bar is if their Editor Preference is set to something other than HTML. Setting it to Markdown or Plain Text would remove everything on the bar except for the attachment icon.
I would advise them to visit?/account?page=prefs?to check their setting.? Jim |

I know the country field is a pull-down menu, and I have put in addresses in my database using that menu to enter the countries. There are a few other fields in the database entry, like a text field in which I can add a date at some point. But when I later on update one of the (non-address) fields in a database record, like a date in a text field, and I want to save the changes I made, I get an error message saying that I have to enter the country name. Again... So to me this feels like a bug, the country name should be saved permanently just like the rest of the address, shouldn't it? Winnie |
Re: Upgraded to Premium and THEN saw the notice...
I think I have fallen into a similar trap. The message about the Yahoo outage cleared early on Friday morning so I upgraded [email protected] to premium so we could request transfer, Not sure if I missed out step 2 or was not able to do it because the green button was disabled again by the time I got back to that point, I have sent the invite to [email protected]?but it has not yet been accepted so I cannot do steps 4 onwards. Have I missed the boat as the original deadline of 1st December has been reached.?

I had done a delete test back in October that was deleted after 1:09 (though I could see it being up to almost 2 hours, depending on how often the job runs), so something has changed.?

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!

Sally, > If I have paid my premium fee and invited [email protected] to my > yahoo group, is my transfer initiated? If that's all you've done, no. Don't miss Step 2 and steps 4 through 6. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups My guess is that mark will treat Steps 2 and 3 together as initiating the transfer, if only because Step 4 requires Groups.io to take a manual step (solve a Captcha) to accept the invitation. But only Groups.io can give a definitive answer. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |
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 |
