I know if you delete a main group that group name isn't available for
a period of time. Is this the case with a subgroup if I delete it to
clear out messages then create the same names subgroup again?

They'll need to rejoin the group though.? Unbanning doesn't reinstate them.

SBN,

You can zip the files with a password and then upload.?

Winzip or 7zip would work just fine.? No need to have GIO do the task for you.?

Ummm... what's a breadcrumb?

Larry -- It's a path to a page within a web site. The intermediary words within the path are usually hyperlinks.

We often speak of sending someone to Admin>Settings>Message Policies>etc. That path is a breadcrumb. As?a more direct example of what Duane was talking about, see the screenshot below...the breadcrumbs are circled in red.

And, for anything else you can zip the file with a password. Of course, this also restricts the file from being viewed.

I think Sandi Kozinn makes a very valid point; "likes" are much less cluttering than posts simply sent in agreement.

In practice many users will have no idea that any given post has been "liked" for the simple reason that they use whatever groups they are members of by email only, and of course there is no "like" provision by email.

OK; if they were optional it would be a matter of choice for the group owner, but I wouldn't want them to be simply removed. They are, IMHO, harmless, and once Mark has had time to recover from the recent melee there will, I suspect, be more significant changes to consider.

Chris,

I pretty much agree with what you're saying.

But playing the devil's advocate, I could add that some people *WANT* more conversation going on. Something about being social, or whatever.

What are these emotion things you speak of that aren't available in GIO? Did you mean like these: :-) :-| :-( or like these: ?????

Thank you so much!? That is exactly the instructions I needed!

Laurie -- I'm going to assume that you actually banned them. If you've done something else...a posting override or something like that...let us know.

Is there a way to Un Block this member?

In the member list (Admin>Members), pull down the blue Members menu at top left and select Banned. On the resulting screen, tick the box next to that person's name and select "unban" from the Actions menu at the bottom of the page.

It would be helpful for a couple of my groups, too.?

At this time the only way I know of to make certain documents available only to a subset of your group is to either make all the privileged people Moderators or move the documents to a subgroup and restrict access to that.

Of course, individual PDF or Word files can be password-protected.

Every time I go the GIO posting to select a LIKE then leave the page, regardless of the group in IO, a DFAT message is created in that group.

You're doing something wrong.? All that clicking the Like should do is show that you liked it and change the option to Unlike.? Not sure what you could be doing that would create a draft.? Unless you're using the link in an email to get to a message.? That could open the editor, creating a draft.

Actually, you can Like a post using email.? Just reply with the word Like/like or +1 for content.

No.? There's no way to keep only some people from accessing a file without limiting access to all but moderators.? No one but the file owner or a moderator can delete it though.

No.? There's not a way to search for an album, only photos.? Once you're at one of the photos in the album, you can use the 'breadcrumb' at the top to go to the album overview though.

No.? But you can create the albums, then copy all the photos in at once.? If there are a lot, it may time out on you.? We haven't got a clear definition of "a lot" yet.

Other than seeing a count on the message screen, do "likes" even do anything here?

I'd rather see a count of, say, 8 "likes" on a post than have to skim through 8 posts in my mailbox that say nothing but "I agree." Preferences may vary, I understand, but anything that cuts down on clutter is great with me.
