Paul M.,
Apparently my group's message formatting choice of 'text only' DOESNot reproduced in my test group. Changing your Editor Preference on the Preferences page of your Account /will/ affect the creation of new Wiki pages (sets the format of that page). Clicking on the hamburger menu to show advanced formattng in the WikiI think this may relate to screen width, as Bruce suggested.

No Bruce. I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS 10.11 plus Safari. As I mentioned I figured out that those 'missing' formatting function buttons don't display because we have our group set to text only. And I see that this extends to the Wiki Page formatting, too. Now that I know this I can live with it. And once again, thanx for all the good advice, Bruce. I learned a lot. Cheers! Paul M.

Re: Save a picture from PHOTOS

It would be interesting to know how Yahoo did this. That was one thing that worked very well.It was probably done by forcing the mime type, which frankly isn't that reliable, either. The behavior on sending a binary data stream depends on file type, in association with client-side configuration/add-ons. For example, if I click on a PDF file from the Files area, it also opens in my browser; and we recently had a thread here about the CSV file being displayed instead of opening a download dialog box when you export your member list. However, this should probably be revisited. HTML5 introduced the "download" attribute for the <A> tag in 2015, and I suspect most browsers are now supporting it.? Ref:? Bruce |

is this the way saving a pic is supposed to work here?? Anywhere else DOWNLOAD means DOWNLOAD.Yes, that's the way it works here.? At one time, it was changed to attempt to actually download a photo, but it broke most (all?) of the browsers that use the Firefox base, so was reverted to this version.

Re: Save a picture from PHOTOS
On my Mac, I can download the photo (save image to downloads or somewhere else. / some other folder) Or add image to Photos. Or copy the address or the image. Or share.
But usually I want to put the photo in my Photos application. Frances -- Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)

How does someone find and join a group which is currently listed as Private?It depends on what you mean by Private.? If you mean "private messages", no one but members can read the messages, but can find it in the site Directory, /search.? If you mean "Group not listed in directory", then no one can find it in the site Directory, so you'd have to use one of the methods Bruce mentioned.

The john.doe section of the e-mail is the member who posted the message requiring approval.? All I have done is Reply and Send to the approval needed message.? Looking at their message activity it shows their postings, plus a line showing the approval by a moderator. The work-round, as also mentioned by Bruce is to approve on the website, so I shall use that in future. Thanks for the help Steve M |
