Issues turning off email
We have a member who says she is still receiving emails, but her subscription is set to "no emails". I suspect she is confused about which group she is receiving the emails from, but before I wade into it, I would like to know if anyone has ever had issues with turning email off.
Thanks, Marv |

BTW, I don't have this hyphen problem on my Yahoo accounts.If the email is sent as plain text, it'll be up to your email reader to render the link (rightly or wrongly, if at all -- this is apparently what's happening to you). If the email is sent as HTML, the link will be hard-coded in (hopefully as the sender intended -- this is what happens to your mail from Yahoo). -Don |

Re: Who "owns" a group - discussion
I've seen it here and I saw it on Yahoo as well where people would use similar names or even the first group name as part of the first line of the description. I have actually saved one name here in case that Yahoo group decides to move in the future, and have made that quite clear to people those who have joined it. I know of another on groups.io where I suspect that is what is happening. A lot of people established groups here well before they moved because the saw the handwriting on the wall.

It's unfortunate that your friend's group was beat out to the name by someone else, but that is somewhat the nature of people. I suspect the same thing has been done on Google groups and in other locations. As an editorial comment, I've found that gentle guidance works much better than heavy handed moderation. I have a couple groups that occasionally wander off, but the members themselves work to bring them back on topic. I find it's more important to treat members as responsible adults, rather than children, in order to maintain respect. And unless you have respect, authority doesn't do much good in the long run. Authority can be bestowed, but too many moderators forget respect has to be earned. I consider myself more the group janitor than the owner. If you think back to grade school, who got the more respect, the principal or the janitor? Dano ----- Original Message -----
A friend (yes, a friend, not me) decided to move his group form Y! to here. But he came to groups to find a group with the same name already here. Turns out one of the group members didn't like his management style, so he started a competing (duplicate) group here on groups. (Y! manager kept the group strictly on topic, and this person wanted the group to be able to have off-topic conversations). For this incident, my friend is working with support/mark to address the issue, and has started his own somewhat renamed group here on groups.io. The question for GMF: Has anyone else seen this with their groups, or with groups they are a part of? - John |

I have the group set up on ¡®premium¡¯ subscription which allowsHarlan - On the group page go to "Administration" and then click on "Billing". Images are the dark blue part of the bar. Files are the green part. Attachments open up on a separate page. Dano |

Re: Can transferring files be done separately?

Tammi,
Can you transfer the group without files and then later on transfer the files in? I think so. When you click the green "Start New Transfer" button you are given a list of checkboxes for what to transfer. You can uncheck Files. Then when you're ready come back and uncheck everything except Files to start a second transfer.

Re: Guidelines link
If you don't mind the public seeing them, you could set the Group Guidelines and/or Wiki so that they're visible without being logged in.? If you do want folks to be logged in to see them, then you should suggest on beta that the login follow through to the Group Guidelines page like Wiki does.

Re: Can transferring files be done separately?

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYou can transfer any or all, but you will have one possible problem by moving anything yourself. Anything you download off your site, and then upload to your new site, will change the ownership of those files to you. If that doesn¡¯t matter, then go for it. ? Don ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tammi McKinley, CPM ? Can you transfer the group without files and then later on transfer the files in? We are going through files to see what to get rid of and better organize them but wanted to know if we could transfer without the files, first. Otherwise we could transfer everything and then organize what¡¯s transferred. Tammi |

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.

Re: Symbol for priorizing titles in files
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý? 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. |
