>>>instead of an answer, they're told where to look to find one.<<<

Ok, I’ll say the quiet part aloud — this isn’t mesnt to be arrogant so please don’t infer that it’s personal.

Because at this stage in life folks should have the skills (or should develop them) to use the MANY resources provided (MANY more than other forum/email listserves). ?And constantly being an answering service simply perpetuates everyone just firing questions rather than FIRST using those resources themselves. A LOT of someone else’s time went into developing those resources and everyone should respect that.?

I do the same even as a “mere” member of other ?(not gio) forums and on my gio forum. ?And it pisses me off when, after I point to the resource, someone else chimes in and babies them and enables the bad behavior. ?That’s their choice, but they’re not the one constantly responding and likely they just clicked on the resource and copy/pasted the answer to see themself in print. ?

When I ask, I’ve tried to exhaust my resources,?not 100% but at least 50%. ?Sometimes i miss the mark.?

I realize everyone doesn’t have the time or the skill (yet) to sleuth out things, but providing a direct link to answers is “pretty darn good replying” in my book and 1,000% better than anyone will get elsewhere.?

All that said, if someone is in an immediate bind and needs info (like stuck on a trip and their boat engine won’t start) sure, I get it and transmit it back, rather than pointing them in the right direction. ?

Theres a wide gray line, of course, when it’s “better” to simply answer and when the alternative is “better” (however one defines “better.”)

caveat: this is IMO and not necessarily any Mod’s opinion. ?But, just sayin.?

BTW, there’s a search function that would easily find the most-recent post about “reverification” on the Beta group.?

There was also no link provided.

People ask a question and instead of an answer, they're told where to look to find one.

In case Paul is not a Beta member -- or anyone else

Gentle GMF Moderators,

Any update on this? I haven't seen any more of the RI members on my group going RS in the last three weeks. So has Mark F. said anything to update his intentions for when they will be removed?

Or at this point can we maybe now assist by removing these RIs ourselves?

-Is "Reply to Sender" at the bottom the only way a recipient can respond privately?

-How can I create the "icon" I want at the beginning of the group address? For that matter, how can one edit that with their own address?

-How do I write the invite e-mail so a name will be included?

questions:

since the manual has no search function

Note that I'm asking here before moving on to Groups.io support email. Redirect me if this isn't the right location.?

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???

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
