Re: Question about original poster and closing a topic

If they apply a hashtag with a property that automatically locks it immediately, yes. (Highlighting added)I should modify that. An existing hashtag can also have a "topic duration" that establishes some period of time after which the topic is locked. So it doesn't have to be "immediate." But in practice, Members remain unable to create hashtags with these properties. A Mod/Owner has to set it all up. Bruce Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual |

Question about original poster and closing a topic
I don't remember if it's here on GIO or some other mailing list or forum but
does the original poster of a new topic have the ability to lock the topic if they are not a moderator or owner? Donald ---------------------------------------------------- Some ham radio groups you may be interested in: /g/ICOM /g/Ham-Antennas /g/HamRadioHelp /g/Baofeng /g/CHIRP |

See /helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/additional-information/topic-threading-algorithm for more info on how incoming messages are threaded. If they are?in the same topic, my guess is that your Moderators/co-Owners are the ones who are doing it. Such folks can post to locked topics, and I'm not particularly fond of that, either. I posted a suggestion to change this behavior (??), but it never got much traction. Frankly, there is no reliable way to lock a topic that cannot be circumvented by an enterprising member. The only thing you can do is put repeat offenders on moderation. Regards, Bruce Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual |

locked topics definitely does not work. i have locked several topics on my group. People reply to that locked message and they are all on the same thread.Help says: Members who send email replies to a locked topic receive an automatic delivery failure notice stating that the topic is locked. Group owners and moderators are able to reply to a locked topic (by email or on the group¡¯s website) without having to unlock the topic first and then relock it after posting their reply. Be aware that if the locked topic is also a moderated topic, those replies go through moderation. Notice that group owners and moderators can reply to locked topics. I just tested and it works for me. Only my owner email worked and an email address with regular member privileges doesn't work. Of course, subtle changes to a subject line doesn't get stopped by the locking. If you are getting messages through that are locked, send us the two subject lines. Perhaps we can see the differences.

If I downgrade to a cheaper plan next year, would I then lose the changes made to customise the homepage?I don't have an Enterprise group, but it's my understanding that paying for Enterprise gives you your own domain. The "custom homepage" is housed on that domain. If you lose it, you lose the customization. And what would happen to the stored files that exceeds the plan?"Locked" (per Duane's previous post) means read-only. The files in your main group will remain, but you won't be able to upload or make any other changes until you delete enough files and photos to bring usage to below your current plan's allocation. Any subgroups you have will behave similarly. Again, I have no actual experience with this.?It would be best if someone who has actually done it would chime in. ?

And what would happen to the stored files that exceeds the plan?I don't know of anyone that's done that, so this is based on the Premium to Basic downgrade and information given about Enterprise groups. 1) You'd lose any customization of the home page. 2) Depending on when the group was created, you'd either lose all stored items (except messages) or they'd become locked. There is a grace period after a downgrade in case it was a mistake, but I'm not sure how long it is. Duane -- Lots of detailed information can be found in the Owners Manual and Members Manual. |

I want to upgrade my group to an Enterprise plan for 1 year. If I downgrade to a cheaper plan next year, would I then lose the changes made to customise the homepage? And what would happen to the stored files that exceeds the plan? Thanks in advance! Kristin [Subject line added by Moderator] |

I think Win 11 will use Edge if you're searching from the start menu search box though in any case. But a link in say your email should open whatever you chose as the default browser, and if you haven't selected one Microsoft does you the nice favor of providing you with the Edge browser as your default. :-) Donald ---------------------------------------------------- Some ham radio groups you may be interested in: /g/ICOM /g/Ham-Antennas /g/HamRadioHelp /g/Baofeng /g/CHIRP |
