I have just exported details from a subgroup for one of my test accounts and I have everything even though that account has unsubscribed and resubscribed to the subgroup multiple times.

Would leaving the group and later rejoining, using the exact same email address have the same impact as merging accounts or impact what messages would be exported?? She did leave the group and later rejoin.??
?
If leaving and re-joining is not a potential issue and it is a bug do I report the specific details in this forum?? you will mask the specific email address?

Thanks for the info on where to find settings!

You can't do much about it.
The person should have got an email from Groups.io to unbounce themselves.?
They themselves can log into their iCloud account and see whether their group messages are in junk. If so, they should pull them out. ?Or the person can contact iCloud about them bouncing.
?
Or try to log into the group using their password or /sendloginlink
If they do, they should follow the instructions, I believe it is now two-step.

If she has actually posted messages to the group and isn't getting them back on export, that would be a bug. Please note that if she's merged accounts at any point, content posted under the abandoned account will be unavailable for download.

From Members manual:? You can download (export) copies of your contributions to any groups that you belong to, including your own messages, photos and files that you uploaded to Premium or Enterprise?group websites, and other group content.
Yes. To clarify, this is done from that member's Account page, not the group export page.

Clarification question:? Does this mean, given proper permissions, a member of?any?group can export their own message contributions but you must be a member of a premium or enterprise group in order to export photos and files OR does it mean you must be in a premium or enterprise group to download/export any of the content you have contributed?? Wording in help file is a bit unclear and might be read either way.
It doesn't mean either one. It's simply stating that - under the current pricing structure - only paid groups will have Files and Photos.
?
As a legacy Basic group, if she were to download her contributions from your group, she should also receive any files or photos that she "owns."
?
Permissions question:? I had seen something indicating there are group settings regarding member permissions to download or export messages.? I cannot find those instructions and cannot find settings for that function (admin>preferences>settings).? Where should I be looking?
If you want to allow people to download the entire message archive, there is a checkbox for that in the Message Policies block in group settings ("Allow Members to Download Archive").
?
The ability to download your own contributions is always enabled. There is no group-level permission to set.
?
Hope this helps,
Bruce


Member message export questions/ clarifications

 

I am a moderator and owner for two legacy free groups set up before I assumed moderator duties.? I am usually able to resolve my questions via Owners Manual or via trial and error but need a little help? for a member who wants to export the messages she has posted to the group over a couple of years.? ?The group in question does have an export option for messages but the returned zip file seems to only contain one message responding to membership questions when she joined the group.??

Re: #Question - can you push an email to someone who has chosen "No Mail" #question

 

The owner or moderator with permissions can disable "no mail" choice in Admin, Preferences. If that happens, any members that are currently No Mail automatically get the email status of "special notices only".?
?
If the owner uses Special Notices cautiously, ?just when it is really necessary to contact all members, it shouldn't cause too much grief for those who don't want mail and just want to read online.
?
I prefer disallowing No Mail because I want to be able to send a Special Notice very occasionally and hope that I can reach all members.

As a group admin, you can certainly send that person a private message (via the button at the bottom of their subscription page) and cut-and-paste any desired content into it.
?
Otherwise, no.

#Question - can you push an email to someone who has chosen "No Mail" #question

 

Hi All,
?
I just looked at the Wiki and aren't sure where to find info about whether you can "push" an email to someone who has chosen "No Mail".
?
A member is having a problem in another group and said the old yahoogroups did.? So I'm assuming it may be there but I don't know how to do it.
?
Any and all help appreciated.

Sincerely,

If the image URL ever changes, then your browser will no longer be able to fetch it.

Also, it sometimes happens that access to the image requires some kind of authentication (you must first log in, or you have to join this FB group, etc). Your post may look good to you while you're still logged into the other site's portal, but no one else can see the linked content because they aren't.
?
It's always best to download or otherwise make a copy of an image and use that in your post.?

Re: screenshots not always showing up in posts

 

If these are photos that were taken with an iPhone, they may be in HEIC format. These images may not render in most browsers.?

If that¡¯s the case, go to the iPhone¡¯s settings > camera > formats and change to Most Compatible.?

Re: screenshots not always showing up in posts

 

I have the same problem. Seems to happen mostly with linked photos from Facebook. Here's a screenshot of a recent example.
The photos I copied into this post still exist on Facebook.

It does. But I would suggest this is more effective use of MIPS and interweb bandwidth than sending the same image out to every individual in the Group.

OK, I created a "new member" using a Gmail account and the messages are coming through and downloading as emails without any problem.? So, it looks like it is a Fastmail issue.? Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions.

I can't remember what happens to the main group URL after you add and then remove subgroups.

However, to add to Malcolm's comment, you can also change a subgroup's visibility in the menu on the main group so only subgroup members see it. And delete all subgroup members but yourself. This doesn't mean that you can make a private subgroup visible or not to the general public. See

Yes, it will present itself differently when you create a subgroup but both old ([email protected]) and new ([email protected]) addresses will work.

To avoid later confusion, don't delete the subgroup, just stop using it :-)
