Re: As an Owner/Moderator, how do I Forward an email received by the group to elevate it to Special Notice Only status
Thank you for your answer. That's what I had resolved by finding no mention of it in the manuals. Now I'll work on proposing a change in the app that will allow a Moderator to make that change on a document. Being able to Forward something should be allowed; being able to moderate/edit/change it to the degree you are permitted would also make sense.

Re: A couple questions on Remove Member
#membership
#members
#membernotices
Doug,
1. The Removed Member notice is sent only to the member who is removed. 2. No one else is notified except moderators, if they have the correct notice set in their subscription settings. 3. I believe (though I'm not 100% certain) that you have to select the current active notice in your group's settings and that you are not given the option when you are about to remove someone. Pete |

A couple questions on Remove Member
#membership
#members
#membernotices
1) If there is an active "Removed Member" notice, does it only get sent to the removed member, or to all members?
2)? If a member is removed, what do the other members see?? Do they get any kind of notification about the removed member? 3) If I create several "Removed Member" notices (e.g., for different removal reasons), and none of them are active, will I be given a change to select one in the removal process, or do I have to make one active before initiating removal?? I did the former (none of the "Removed Member" notices active) and got to the "Are you sure you wish to remove this member from the group?" prompt with a choice of Cancel or Yes.? I canceled because I wasn't sure if I'd be given the opportunity to select the desired "Removed Member" notice. Thanks, Doug |

Re: Single Owner Group - Owner Deceased
Our Yahoo group lost it's sole owner 4 years prior to Groups shutting down. The apprehension in our group was palpable at the thought of losing 19 years of genealogical archives. We miraculously located and managed to work with the owner's surviving spouse and daughter to recover full access so that we could add new owners and effect the move to GIO. We were fortunate but so many others were not.
If at all possible with regard to trust and amicable relations, I?most strongly recommend a minimum of 2 owners because you just never know when or if it will be needed. At the very least, IMHO, sole owners should designate a receiver and arrange to transmit their GIO password to same out of respect for those they leave behind. -- Jim |

As an Owner/Moderator, how do I Forward an email received by the group to elevate it to Special Notice Only status
?I¡¯m an Owner/Moderator for a group and we have some members who are ¡®Special Notice Only¡¯ subscribers. That means they obviously don¡¯t get all of the messages sent by anyone.
As a moderator, I see some of the messages rise to the level of ¡®Special?Notice¡¯ and want to pick them up, change them to add the ¡®Special?Notice¡¯ category, and send them on (back out) to the Group. But I don¡¯t see any way?to do that. I¡¯ve had to resort to a ¡®copy-paste¡¯ routine and send it?out from my address, giving credit to the source. ?

Re: Send-only subgroup?
Appreciate the help Duane and Bruce!
?
To summarize:
? ?I manually added specific members to our subgroup (our organization's planning committee).

In the settings for the subgroup:
? ?Privacy -> Visibility -> "Group not listed in parent group, messages viewable by subgroup only"
? ?Spam Control -> "Restricted Membership" [ON]
? ?Message Policies -> "Allow Nonmembers to post" [ON]

Maybe it doesn't sound democratic, but I wish there were a distinction between Owner(s) and Founder.There was a sometimes heated discussion about that on the beta group awhile back.? I think Mark decided the current mechanism was a good compromise of the sides.? The original owner (founder) can maintain ultimate control, but give moderators all the permissions so they can do everything except promote themselves to owner, demote an owner, and delete group.? They can promote others to the same moderator level as themselves, so the group should be able to continue indefinitely.?

We did BAN the member, but the damage was done. ? I wonder is there a way to set a new member to "NO EMAIL" and not grant that user the ability to change the setting until the group has an idea if they are suitable? That way they wouldn't be able to harvest e-mail addresses. |

I think it should be reported as a #bug on beta as he probably overlooked it. BTW, for Barry, I think most 15" screens are no more than 1024 pixels wide, so that would explain your situation.
