Even the big guys (and I'm not saying Groups.io isn't) like Microsoft make a mess of this. We're using Office365 across thousands of business users and the date format flip flops between US, UK, and Algerian depending on user locale settings and if using online or local installation of Excel...Absolute nightmare, we defaulted to writing dates in abbreviated full i.e. 12 Jan 18 so software doesn't see it as 1st December when entering 12/1/18
Just setup a Database in Groups.io and noticed it was US even though the locale is GMT whoops UTC (yet another standard) :-) Regards Glen |
Re: Invitations to join
Another tidbit I just discovered.? There was a group created on Groups.io about 4 hours ago.? I did a search online, by exact name, and it came up as the 2nd or 3rd result, depending on the search engine.? Having the group listed in the Groups.io directory seems to update the search engines fairly quickly.

I've been webmastering for almost 30 years. Back then, search sites such as Google (and Yahoo) used to have "promote" links where you could submit the URL of your page to get your stuff into their engine. Today I think they all spider the web themselves and no longer accept that kind of thing...probably because of the proliferation of phishing sites over the past 5 years. I think the best you can do is paste the html found on the Promote page here into your web site and hope the spiders eventually find it. Bruce |

Thanks for the update Duane. I tried split and merge but as you'll be aware it only works within a Group not across Main and Sub-Groups.
Best Regards Glen |
Re: Invitations to join
The Promote page also has code that can be added to a web site, including a preview of what it will look like.

Re: Continuity of IO
Thanks for the links, Duane. With respect to the second one, I read where on group owner said he had gotten a 404 error and was wondering why because it seemed his other internet accesses were working. When I read this my first thought was that the server groups.io is on was shut down for some reason. Could that be it?

I also noted in reading the responses that Mark suggested sending questions to support(at)groups.io. Is this still a viable option? Instead of having re-raised the issue here of continuity, it appears I could have sent my concerns to support. Correct? Stan On 3/4/2018 7:55 AM, Duane wrote:

Re: Invitations to join
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI think what the person was talking about, was a way to promote their URL the old fashion way. There used to be actual sites a person could go to, where they would fill out a form with their sites URL, name of the site, and short description. It took maybe a few days to a week for the new site to be recognized by some kind of bot (I don¡¯t remember how that actually worked), and then the site could be found when doing a search on the internet. The Promote in Group.io does not work like the old way, as it only lets the site be promoted on FB and Tweeter. ? Don ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Duane ?

Re: Start to Finish Message Transfer
In our case, the archived messages (~150,000) were transferred about 3 days after everything else transferred. I happened to notice it while it was happening, and it threw me for a bit of a loop. (See this thread?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/5450). And it was fascinating to watch the home page of the group as they were transferring as the numbers kept changing over the several hours it took to transfer all the messages. Dave |
Re: How do I make message or file repeat
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThank you so much for reading my post an helping with my question.? This has been the best experience ever.? I have switched most of my groups over to IO and my members are so far loving it. Lyn |
Re: Continuity of IO
Arno Martens
I get it also. I understand most of the member's thoughts now. Not what I had expected, though. As far as why it should be a topic here? I think it is very appropriate here and it has reached a certain limit to only those who's mind has been made up long ago. To some of us new to IO it is still a topic of concern.Some of my groups changed, some didn't. It doesen't matter how often the subject is rephrased, unless you can guarantee that you will still be alive the day after tomorrow, you are flogging a dead horse. |
Re: Moving topics to sub-groups
#subgroups
I don't think this is currently possible, but is on the TODO list.? Over a year ago, Mark wrote (in beta), "Moving threads between subgroups is on the todo list and definitely something I want to happen sooner rather than later."

Re: List member permanently moderated status
J_Catlady
This is a big problem. I helped a group with several thousand members transfer over and they wound up with the same issue. I petitioned Mark to do some sort of bulk operation to switch them all over, but he was unable to do that. I had to go through and switch everybody one by one. I would suggest to him on beta that he improve the transfer process by allowing an option to "make moderated members NuM" for an NuM group. I may already have suggested this to him, but if I did, it was not on beta. I think someone needs to suggest this. On Sat, Mar 3, 2018 at 7:52 PM, SP4149 <ken@...> wrote:

Re: Invitations to join
Hi Mike,
Can¡¯t you post your "subscribe to" email address on a website? The email address appears on the homepage of your group. ? Subscribe: [email protected] Frances |
Re: List member permanently moderated status
I suspect there may a difference in understanding.? Have you checked the actual settings of one of the accounts in question on the Y!G?? I was on a group where everyone was moderated until after the first post, but it was all handled manually by the owner, rather than use the available functions.? You could change everyone that is M to NuM using the Members page and the Action box, but you'd need to be sure that no one was supposed to be M for some reason.
