accessing attachments

 

Is there a way to access attachments other than by going through the messages one-by-one? I see that on the Photo Album page it indicates the amount of storage being used for attachments, as well as the amount for photos. I assume these, and the file storage amount, count against our total storage limit. It might be useful to weed these out at some point. It would certainly be useful to be able to go back and look at the attachments without having to go through all of the messages. It looks like photos that are sent as attachments are saved in a separate folder, but not other types of files.

Thanks.

Would that be applied under Admin/Settings?

You can pick one wiki page to be displayed at the top of the messages list. It will display about three or four lines (I don't know or remember the exact amount of text) and then truncate to "read more," which takes the reader directly to the wiki page. I use it for rotating "tips" on my group and in general.

Re: Sticky Wiki Page

 

Where is the setting for this? I don't see anything on the Wiki page itself, or when editing one.

But (a) we're talking about a private contract, (b) we're talking about the U.S., and (c) consent to what, explicitly? In your other message you were referring to ?the right to request that data *about* one be removed - e.g., requesting that google remove some kind of info that someone else posted about me. I am firmly for that, an aware that other countries have this protection, and I, like you, wish the U.S. had something like it. But your comparison seems not to match on several counts....

Not applicable in the slightest. Users explicitly grant rights to their content. I do understand wanting to remove one¡¯s posts. But if a group announces on the home page that removing is disallowed - just as, actually, the TOU makes it clear that users grant permanent rights - it seems fair enough.?

Thanks to all who replied.? I had searched the archives here, but not on the beta group, so I will remember to do that in the future.? I don't particularly care how this works, but am glad to now understand how it works so I can make sure my users are clear on it as well.? Thanks!?? Janet

I'm not going to argue about this any more. We'd just be rehashing the same argument as previously on beta. The legal issue is clear and IIRC, at last count Shal was suggesting *changing* the TOU to allow users to delete their content, because currently it does not. I'm done here.

Re: Editing and Deleting Posts

 

Janet,

Is there a way to prevent people from deleting [their own] posts?
As J said, no.

I'm on the opposite camp though. I support users having the unfettered ability to remove their own contributions across the board. I'm not sure how Groups.io ended up with a mixed situation, granting the ability through the UI but not the contract right in the TOS.

I would prefer that the Groups.io Terms Of Service document be amended to make such removal a contract right. That is, I would replace the grant of a perpetual and irrevocable license with a limited one; a license which terminates when the member removes his/her content from the service.

I don't expect this to be a high priority issue for Groups.io right now. And it has been a recurring issue in Yahoo Groups over the years, but firmly settled in the members' favor by the Yahoo TOS (paragraph 9.1).

No, there's no way to prevent them from deleting their posts. I have lobbied for this as well. Others argue that members are legally entitled to remove their own content. I think the legal argument actually goes the other way, because users grant non-exclusive license to display their content in any way, shape or form. The current TOU does not require to allow users to remove their posts, and I feel strongly that a group should be allowed to disable that ability. There are threads on beta about this. You might want to have a look.

Dave, are you inviting [email protected] to be a member of your YahooGroup?
That worked for me however many YahooGroups support functions have been
down the last few days, including the membership function yesterday.

Problem with Incredimail formatting (was: html)

 
Edited

Someone told me here to uncheck the image size. When I did that I can now see all the incredimail graphics with no problem. I wanted to thank you.

My only issue now with iogroups is that they delete people if letters go to spam. I have a member who got so upset she won't sign up again and I dont want to lose members here.

Is there any way to sign her up again without her doing it?
