Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
Maria, But also members will want to be able to search for their own posts so
they can keep tabs on threads etc or pull up their own posts.
...
Maybe something to chime in about over @beta Interesting idea. Perhaps the Activity History tab, currently available to moderators through each subscriber's page in the Members list, could be available to the member him/herself through their Subscription page. That would give more than the history of posts, and for that reason could be useful to the member even if a proper search-by-subscriber were available. I do like that as group owners in Y! we can search by author and that
when you are viewing a post on the web it suggests other posts by this
member. On the To-do list. Shal

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
Moderators can find all posts by a member right now, by looking in the member's activity log. It of course will be more convenient (and also available to all group members) when the search by author bug is fixed. Bug the information is available to mods now.

Re: how to set up or create a new group

Hi.
First time going to create a group. Using jaws 17, and windows 10 64 bit, going to have two co-admins. I will be the owner. So how to then create a new group, then put in the name, and a description.
Then how to add other people as co-admins or co-owners.
First time doing that, then how to then send a message to everyone.
Thanks.

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
J, LOL. Of course you do realize, Shal, that your email address was coyly
hiding behind a fig leaf there. ;) Indeed I knew it would be. It's part of that irony. As I've said before about the fig-leaf, it probably wouldn't take anyone very many tries to guess what's hidden. Fortunately in this case one needn't go to the effort: knowing the full email address isn't necessary to convey the "how to" instruction. I've seen stronger masking techniques, such as showing only the first two and last two characters of the email user name. With only "sh...nd@" to work with the guessing would be more difficult. The downside is that the more the site masks the more likely it is for two subscribers to end up with the same masked name. Shal

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
Maria, Is there an easy way to find in the archive any posts you or others have
written? Mark mentioned a method in beta@, but it isn't documented anywhere else that I know of. /g/beta/message/7668It turns out that the search box has tricks we don't know of, including an ability to search for specific kinds of things using keywords. So for this purpose the keyword is "poster:" followed by the person's email address. Which, somewhat ironically given recent threads in beta@, requires one to know that person's email address. So to find my messages try poster:shals2nd@... Oddly, this trick only works in the search box in Messages view (or Expanded Messages View), not Threads View. That's another one of those search idiosyncrasies I'd like to see fixed. Shal

Msrk has already stated in beta that this is a bug and will be hard to fix.

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
There's not a simple way that I'm aware of. If you're an owner/moderator with access to the Member list, you can go to the member name, then Activity History, and search for Accepted Message. A kluge at best, but works for now.
If you and/or the other person always sign the same way, you could search for that in Message View, but it would also show any quotes that contained it. (Search won't find them in Thread View unless it's in the title.) I think Mark has plans to add a search by poster.

This has been VERY high on my personal wishlist for a long time. It's a glaring hole, especially with respect to Yahoo.

Glad to hear that "special notice" preempts digest delivery choice. Yes, can you forward your suggestions to Mark on Beta? That would be super.? Thanks, J_catlady and Shal. Frances

Re: repeat of original post in replies (not deliberately quoted)
Thank you Shal. We don't have enough test users in our test group to see if there is a pattern yet... but i am pleased that groups.io seems to handle it better than other services we use/have used. Whatever Mark has done so far seems to be working better than elsewhere. Maria

Re: repeat of original post in replies (not deliberately quoted)
Maria, I am wondering if others here have managed to figure out what the
pattern is with original posts being carried over in replies? There are several factors at work - which is why it is inconsistent. First is the user's email interface: different interfaces use different "styles" of distinguishing the quoted material. In plain text there's a reasonably strong convention of word-wrapping the quoted lines slightly shorter than the normal lines, then inserting a marker such as "> " at the beginning of each line - as I've done in this message. In HTML message formats indentation is often used, sometimes together with a vertical bar on the left. Some we see in the pending message - but once approved - they nicely
disappear in the web interface and the digest. In the pending list the message is shown to you pretty much "as received". But when displayed in the Messages section the system attempts to detect and hide trailing "bottom-quotes" and provide an expander ("..." button) to let you see them if you want. In the digest it simply omits them. But I am seeing on the @beta group that every now and then posts come
through with the entire original post underneath the reply. I've noticed that too, and I think it must be that sometimes the user's email interface formatted the quote in a way that escaped Groups.io's detection. It seems to happen most with HTML formatted messages. Wondering in those instances in which this happens if there is a
common cause and if as mods there is anything we can do to educate
those members to whom this happens so that we can reduce the amount
of duplicate carry over of the OP in replies. I haven't looked but it is possible that there's a correlation with specific email interfaces that those members use. But whether the user can do anything to change it I don't know. I suspect that in most cases the only thing the member could do would be vigilance in trimming the quotes. Shal

Good idea. Maybe also an automatically applied #hashtag in the subject line, such as the calender events have.
