In the Message Policies section of each group's Settings page there's a "Disable No Email" checkbox for group admins that feel the way you do. Of course, the members can still choose Special Notices.

Re: Who Can View And Modify Databases

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I would only like the owner and moderators to create the columns in the databases, but would like the owner, moderator, and members to be able edit the information in the rows.

?

In admin/settings/databases, I have it set for Subscribers can view, moderators can create tables.

?

At Edit Table/Modify Table of the database I have View Table =Members, Edit Table=Moderator and table owner, Add Rows= Moderator and table owner, Edit Rows=Members .

?

Am I accomplishing what I would like to do?

Is this really spoofing?? I think you need a way to block the individuals static ip Address.

On YG the list owner can see how much storage is devoted to files
and photos, messages are NOT counted against storage on either group.
On YG click on "Photos", then Albums and the size will be displayed

spoofing

Marvin Hunkin
 

Hi. A friend of mine had to close down hi his group, because ?person, got hold of the owners address, and hacked his e-mail and group. So he then opened another group, and has got three moderators, and his group is restricted and private, but he may have got tools off the net how to do this. Is there a way, he is banned by the admins. Is there any way to stop him from hacking the group or the owners gmail address. Or is locked down moderated status the way to go. A owner of another group, has the same issue a few weeks back and he had it in moderated status, some one was spoofing, sending vile and vulgar messages, pretending to be the owner and members. Same has happened to this person group, he shut it down, then created a new one, but the banned member, still sent nasty, vile, vulgar messages to his gmail and the group. So he is going to get his dad and the police involved. This is cyber bullying.

Any thoughts, ideas, any one had this happen to any owners or admins,as one of the admins on the group.

Thanks.

That would depend on how the database is set up.? There are several permissions that can be set at that time. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Databases

Yes. They can send an email to YourGroupName+help and they will be sent a list of the available email commands.

Or you can point them to this section of the Help page:

#wiki what counts and doesn¡¯t count in storage #wiki

 

At the bottom of this screen, there is a link to Plans. And at the bottom of that page, it says what counts in your storage limit. And it shows what the storage limit is if you pay for an account.?

Hi

I think it is like a webpage where you can put information that can be useful to the group, it is like a website in itself.

if you set up a wiki page to store something does that mean it then doesnt take space up on group so keeps your storage down, may sound silly but wasnt sure what wiki was for

Re: 1 GB limit and removing stuff to make more room?

 

dankaduna,

... is the 1 GB limit a monthly use limit, or does it mean that all attachments ever posted to a group count towards the limit?
?
As ken mentioned it is the total.? His suggestion to set a size limit on the photos (in the Features section of your group's Settings page, under Photos) can go a long way to reducing the storage cost of the photos. Whether that is appropriate in your group might depend on what your members use the photos for.

And in that case, how do I delete photo and other attachments so that I don't keep reaching the limit?
?
In the Message Formatting section of your Settings page there's an "Out of Space" option that you can set to Delete Old Attachments automatically to make room for new ones. Otherwise I think you end up having to manually delete them from the individual messages.

Hi Adrien,

Firstly, on the members list, how do I make a member a moderator?

?

Click on the member's row, anywhere except the checkbox, then change the Role setting.
?

Secondly, how do I set-up my group to send out the monthly files to send out the rules etc?

?

Not as files here. Use either a Member Notice of type Guidelines or a calendar entry.

Re: Transferring to a subgroup #subgroups #transfer

 

Thanks Shal. The procedure makes sense.

I guessed that moderator and ownership might be inherited by subgroups, but I wanted to be sure.

And I apologize for the sloppy terminology "join list" for the subgroups direct add. I know full well that sloppiness like that makes a hard job harder. What can I say? It was a fuzzy head after a long day is the truth but not an excuse. Best, Marv
