Hopefully that makes sense... I'd like to delete it (I'm a housecleaning nut, sigh), but can leave it alone as I see that once you put in the alias, that one no longer appears on the dropdown list from which members can choose...

Just retested to make sure. Yes, I can create a new hashtag to use as alias (or use an existing hashtag as alias). Then after I have made the other hashtag the alias, I can delete the old hashtag. The messages are all there with the newly assigned hashtag.

Thanks Duane and Frances, the alias option worked nicely.

I have about 700 message posts (involving over 300 different topics) that were tagged with a particular hash tag (and in some cases, along with other tags).?

I know I can click on the hashtag selection and bring up all of the posts in question, but how do I go from there, e.g. select all, etc, and do the delete/replace??

?

Do you wish to change all the messages with a particular tag to the same tag?

i.e. Do you wish to change all messages with #halifax to #NovaScotia

?

If you do, first, you do it in # Hashtags. Click on Edit for the particular hashtag you want to get rid of.

?

Then just create an alias for that hashtag. (If the hashtag you want for the alias doesn't exist yet, create it. e.g. in my sample, add #NovaScotia)

?

System message appears when you make an alias - Note: Topics tagged with #halifax will be transferred to #NovaScotia.

?

Any other hashtags on individual messages are retained. Just removes the one you are creating an alias for. Then delete the old hashtag in Hashtags.

I think I understand what you want to do.? If you want to replace the hashtag on all messages that have it, you can edit the existing hashtag to make it an alias (redirect) of the one you want to use.? In most cases, this is only used to consolidate variations of a hashtag, but it should work just as well for a bulk replacement in this case.

As Duane suggests, you can make your wiki publicly available. But you'd have to put it somewhere else if it is a PDF. You can put images on a wiki, but not a PDF.

?

In theory, you could also put a link on your homepage but perhaps a bit messier. Again, a link to the document somewhere else.

?

(The wiki is available to premium groups and to older free groups who have it as a legacy feature.)

Not on the site.? You'd have to store it somewhere, like Google Drive, and use a link on your group (wiki page?)

Thanks Duane!? I found it now.

Frances, thank you. Hadn't thought to do that. But they were all set at Unlimited attachment size. The two who replied both have older IPhones. I asked them to check and see if they were trying to attach JPEG or HEIC format files. One is pretty capable, the other gave me a chuckle when she replied that she doesn't speak Greek.?

Anyway. it looks like things have now "cleared" up. So I'm back to my original guess that it was an issue with their phones.

Is there any way to delete the attachment to an email and leave the email?? When I clicked on More at the bottom of the email after going Admin-Preferences-Upgrade and clicking on the View Attachments next to Attachments line, which takes me to the specific email, the only choice that would delete the attachment is to delete the message.

?

Yes, you can delete a photo and leave the post.

?

I opened the post. Clicked on Edit Message with the More.

Then checked the box to choose the one I wanted deleted. Then clicked to delete without sending it to members. The message is still intact. The paperclip icon is still on these test emails, but that *might* disappear. Not sure.

?

This works for photos and attachments.

?

I also could go to Photos, Emailed Photos. Selected the one to delete. Then click on Delete.?

You have to go to that member's page and scroll all the way to the bottom.? There you'll see a button to Send Confirmation Email.

What specific instructions will you give the person to confirm their subscription?

Even the Help doesn't say except to reply to an official request to confirm your subscription by replying to that email. Wouldn't it be better to resend the confirmation email?

I checked activity logs and found one member flagged as NC who appears to have subscribed and not received a confirmation email (maybe she subscribed on the website rather than via email?),

Steve,

They would have received a confirmation email, whether they asked to join the group or were invited directly by the group owner. When one subscribe “on the website” as you said, you basically send an email to the group’s owners requesting to join that group.

and another who hadn't confirmed her email address and yet had amended her profile. So, I'm confused. ?

This person likely belongs to at least one other group. When you belong to more than one group in groups.io and make modifications to your profile, the changes are made across all the groups to which you belong (except for some specific to each group like email delivery).

?

I’m not sure I’d have the patience to follow up with over a thousand NC pending members. I would start with the most recent applications. Those NC who applied several months ago and haven’t contacted the group to inquire might not be that interested in joining. In the member list—in Admin—you could check all those NC members and download the checked ones to a .csv file. You could then more easily send bulk emails (IMPORTANT: you must BCC those email addresses for obvious privacy reasons) to explain that they’ve recently applied to join the group but that they have not replied to the confirmation email. You’ll have to give specific information on how to proceed if they’re still interested in joining the group. Good luck!

As Dano mentioned, there is the member's own setting as well as the group setting for attachment size.

To see / change the member's own setting, go to a group, choose Subscription from the menu. Then Settings. Open Advanced Preferences. ?Check the size of attachment - there is a note that says "Maximum size of attachments sent to you in emails. For attachments larger than this size, links to retrieve them will be provided instead."

yes, but you should be aware of the implications before doing so.? See the Owner's Manual and the GMF Wiki which give details.
