Re: Was my invitation accepted?

 

The online instructions at /yahootransfer?says that the transfer agent will do the transfer "within one business day." If this was changed to something more accurate it might help with the unrealistic expectations.

Well, I tried out these symbols (*, ^, #), and they definitely don?t work in front of letters. So I?ll have to take numbers which is quite uncomfortable since I don?t want to number my hundreds of files.

Too bad…but thanks

Victoria

Unfortunately, in your case, it looks like Mark did too good of a job on the sort.? I did some quick testing this morning and found that standard symbols (*, ^, #) are always first, numbers second, and letters (ignoring case) after.? I didn't find any invisible characters that stay invisible, such as Alt+0141.

Re: HELP! Hyphen in group name/URL not recognized

 

From your example, it looks like the Group Title and Group Email Address are set correctly in those boxes.? I believe what you are seeing in the Welcome email is a function of the client program you're using for email.? Mine all work as they should in Thunderbird.

I am sorry - neophyte to this server.? I see a lot of boxes to check on the Settings and Settings Sub, but nothing to do with URLs??? Could you be more specific?? What particular boxes should I check and where on the settings page?? Thanks so much.

Welcome to the PAD-[email protected]?group at Groups.io, a free, easy-to-use email group service. Please take a moment to review this message.

To learn more about the PAD-[email protected]?group, please visit?/g/PAD-CO

To start sending messages to members of this group, simply send email to PAD-[email protected]

If you do not wish to belong to PAD-[email protected], you may unsubscribe by sending an email to PAD-[email protected]


Re: HELP! Hyphen in group name/URL not recognized

 

Works fine on one of my groups.? On the Settings page, check in the 1st and 2nd boxes.? If you have those both set to PAD-CO, it should work properly.

BTW, all of us here on GMF are site users, like you, and have no capability for changing things.? Suggestions should be made on the beta group.? Bugs should be reported to [email protected].

HELP! Hyphen in group name/URL not recognized

?
I just enrolled with the group name of PAD-CO, and find that the welcome email that is coming from Groups.IO has the URL as CO.io, not PAD-CO.IO, not recognizing anything before the hyphen and making the name useless.
?
So, I need to change the name to PADCO, or you need to change the program to recognize hyphens as a part of the URL.
?
Help!! ?Before I enroll anyone but myself under two different addresses. ?So far, I have only enrolled 2 emails, both mine, as I try to find the glitches. ?I seem to have found a major glitch.



Re: calender

 

Yes it can be done easily, but it's not really intuitive (until you've used it a few times. ;>)? Set Repeats to Weekly, then set Repeat Every to 2.? You can also specify that it occur on a day of the week.? Once you've made your selections, there will be a Repeat Summary at the bottom of the Repeats box where you can make sure it will do what you want.

Re: Speaking of those group addresses.....

 

Can someone who is NOT a group member contact the owner/moderator through those home page addresses?? When in YG I tried to contact a few group owners to ask questions about the group before I thought about joining but the messages always came back as undeliverable.? I would like that feature if at all possible.

Not sure how to stop that. Thoughts?
This is caused by something in your email client. If you send to "Reply to
all" (Sometimes called "Reply to Group"), your post will go to both the
group and the person who sent the message.

Some clients, for reasons I can't fathom, do this by default; there should
be a setting somewhere.

Symbol for priorizing titles in files

Are there any invisible symbols so that a file can be put on top of all the others inspite of its alphabetical order?

In Yahoo this was possible by setting empty spaces.

Hi, everyone,

?

is it not possible to have an every two weeks recurrence in the calender?

Shal, thanks for that hint about being able to send important information by way of the calender function.

It?s really a nice option.

That’s true.

Fair point. It is really addressed to anyone interested in the topic.

Mark investigated everything he possibly could and was unable to
determine the problem. So I’m not sure what you’re trying to say?
I'm saying that if the message appears in the pending member's Email Delivery History one needn't bother Mark - you know what happened to the notice, one way or the other.

The only thing you don't know is why the would-be member can't find it. And that is unknowable, even by Mark, without the ability to inspect the server logs of the would-be member's email service (or his/her mind).

Shal,

Not sure why this is addressed to me. In the cases in my group where the notice went into a black hole, the message was not in the members’ spam folders, Mark investigated everything he possibly could and was unable to determine the problem. So I’m not sure what you’re trying to say?

But I'm not seeing anything shown as "Most Recent Successful Delivery" even though my test address did receive the Pending notice.

Actually, It just took a while:

I'm not sure how long it took for the Email Delivery History page to be updated to show the message,? but sometime in the last 24-hours.

So in this case I know that the Pending Subscription notification was delivered, and so could confidently tell the would-be member to look in their Spam, Trash, or wherever.

Sarah,

twice. Once from my email address and once through the group.
That looks somewhat like your group's Reply To option is set to "Group and Sender". It is in the Message Policies section of your group's Settings page.

The other possibility is that your Gmail account's Default reply behavior is set to "Reply All". That is on the General tab of Gmail settings.

Re: Was my invitation accepted?

 

Al,

I've completed steps 0-2 of the Yahoo transfer 3 days ago.
Including using the green Start New Transfer button and the filling in the form? That's the backup in case the invitation isn't received.

I haven't seen any new member from groups.io attempt to join my Yahoo
group.
In my recent transfer of some groups the transfer agent joined the groups relatively promptly, within hours or a day. But the procedure has changed (again) since then - when I didn't one didn't send an invite, just filled in the form.

Was my invitation received ...?
Note that GMF is a user-to-user group - none of us have that kind of inside information.

You'll know when the new member appears. If you have your Y!Group set to send you notices of new members that will help.

The good news is that Mark has been working down the backlog, my most recent transfers took between three and five days.

Shal
