Did you look in Admin, Invite, Sent invitations?
Did you look at Admin, Activity?
Did you use the Invite procedure?? /helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/inviting-people-to-join-a-group If you did, did you tweak the invitation notice? You can personalize it by using formatting. Frances -- Help available from Groups.io help and GMF wiki. ? |
New to this manager group but not Groups.io: inviting members
I moderate two Group.io instances.
I invited two members today and have before. I don't think they understand there are two Groups.io instances they need to join. When I sent the invites to them, I noticed that only one invite was sent. I checked the member list, and neither of them is there. What might cause this?? Note that I'm asking here before moving on to Groups.io support email. Redirect me if this isn't the right location.? Thanks a lot. Regina |

Both Windows 11 and Adobe now recognize and process HEIC/HEIF files. The reason for adoption is that it's small, fast and accurate.? FireFox doesn't understand it, so if you use a URL to access HEIC/HEIF files, FF will ask you where to save it.? Also, while Adobe understands how to READ such files, it either won't or can't save in that format.? My wife's been an iPhone use for many years, but only when she got an iPhone 11s did her pictures begin to be stored as HEIC/HEIF. Re size, I have a JPG file that's about 9MB, while the image it was converted from is only 3MB.? To my eye they look identical.? Also, while JPG is a lossy format, that isn't true for HEIC/HEIF files. FireFox, Adobe and Windows 11 also understand the relatively new format used in WEBP files.? That's more protection than anything else, but now that Adobe can read and write them, that's mostly irrelevant. Metta, Ivan On Mon, Mar 4, 2024 at 3:10?PM Larry Finch <Finches@...> wrote:

That is NOT correct; MAC (Apple) did not come up with it. HEIC is a standard published in 2013 by MPEG, the same organization that created JPEG and MPEG formats. It is an encoding that provides higher resolution photos and videos than JPEG/MPEG but still take up less space than JPEG/MPEG. While Apple was the first to?adopt it in 2017, Google followed shortly after, and it is supported on Android phones, Windows 11 (Windows 10 with an update), and virtually all photo management and editing apps released in the past 5 years or so. Website developers are the odd ones out in not supporting HEIF (the umbrella standard for HEIC). Best, Larry Larry Finch N 40¡ã 53' 50" W 74¡ã 02' 55" |
I find it discouraging that 11 years after the HEIF/HEIC format standard was published, and 7 years after Apple was the first to adopt it, that many websites still aren't capable?of rendering it. All newer photo management and editing apps support it, including Windows 11, so there's no excuse anymore.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI wish I had ¡®the answer¡¯ for this anomaly. ?I do know what causes it. .heic photos are MAC Format.

Is there any way to migrate the member list as well?If you owned the Yahoo group, there should be a memberlist.csv file in your export. I don't know if Lena's script will import it, though. The simplest thing to do is to open that file in some kind of spreadsheet program and cut-and-paste the email address column directly into the Direct Add screen.?
