We're about to transfer over our group from Yahoo Groups.? We have a huge links section there.? Am I correct that there is no option to transfer over our links???

Try opening a second instance of your browser and cut/paste/drag content from one to the other.

I usually don't even bother with another browser session, but that does work and is pretty clean. I just start my post and then go back and forth gathering links and coming back to my drafts folder to continue from wherever I left off.

Not like back in Yahoo, where if you even so much as looked at another page, your draft message usually disappeared into thin air.

"Upgrade" page under "Admin"

On premium groups, it's shown as Billing I believe.

Re: Photo album deletion

 

Click on Edit for the post, then scroll down to the attachment and select the Delete box, save the message.? This is another one of those things that I learned when it was introduced.? Not totally intuitive for new folks.

Transfer page problems

 

Tried to do the transfer from Yahoo and when I click the "start group transfer process" nothing happens.? Any clues?

The link is broken for me, but for people in the group it's probably fine. I'll give it a try.

Re: Moving photos from one album to another

 

yes you could move pics on yahoo i run a card making group and we do several swaps a month and sometimes new members would put in wrong album and id have to move them, then at end of year i would move all pics to 1 album for the year then start with monthly albums again and would love to have that facility on io

davew,

Michael? I just drag and dropped the above pic from another page in my browser.
Sorry, but it won't show for anyone who is not logged in as a member of the group you dragged it from.

Files and Photos stored in groups can't be shared publicly.

Paul,

I am an owner plus pay $110/yr and I don't see an "Upgrade" page under "Admin". What am I missing?

Hover the cursor over your name in the upper right hand corner. That will show the email address you used to log in. Possibly you are logged in under an address which isn't a group owner? For example, a moderator absent the Billing permission.

Re: Calendar notices

 

Richard,

When I create a calendar item and have it send the notice to the group. does it also get sent to members that have their email set to no email?

No. Reminders and notices from calendar events are posted to the group as ordinary message posts. They will be delivered in accordance with each member's settings.

Re: Mass update of moderation status #moderation

 

davew,

When my tiny group was migrated, no-one was moderated as we were a private, on all group.
However upon migration, I immediately got 'Moderator' messages to alert me. I checked membership and found all other members than myself were 'New' and awaiting moderation. This appears to be the default format.

That can be the default for members who join on their own or accept an invitation - controlled by the New Users Moderated checkbox in the Spam Control section of the group's settings.

However I recently transferred three groups and can attest that the members retained their Y!Group posting Privilege, except for myself and another owner who were already in the Groups.io group. None of them transferred in with the NuM Privilege.

Not such a bad thing, simply check the 'All' box at the top and changed to UnModerated. Problem solved.

I do not recommend setting any members (maybe a very select few) to the Override - Not Moderated privilege. Use Default Post Policy instead. That way you can use the Moderated checkbox in the Spam Control section of the group's Settings page to stop a flame-war or other disruption in its tracks.

Michael? I just drag and dropped the above pic from another page in my browser.? Assuming it appears ( i deleted a url to my own group since you cant access that) than that works rather painlessly.
Except I did have to modify the html to uncenter this text paragraph.
Trust this helps, davew

This helps me view the attachments, but I don't see how they can be deleted without also deleting the message.

Am I missing something obvious (I usually am)? Is this a Premium-only feature?

I wouldn't bother.

My reasoning is that these are members who had the moderation override in the Yahoo Group. Which means they either (a) were purposefully on moderation due to prior behavior, or (b) were still on moderation after joining, having not yet posted (enough) to earn being unmoderated.
Hi Shal
I don't believe that's true.

For other groups- If any (members) coincidentally were still moderated, then yes you would have to manually restrict them. But surely numbers would be small anyway?

This should at least be an option for administrators. ?Today I had too delete photos in one album and then re-upload them to a newly created album. ?This is a new group devoted to family history on my maternal line. ?I uploaded a number of photos to a general folder not realizing that I could not then move them into new, more specific folder, as I organize things.

Please implement this soonest!

If the pictures were uploaded to the files area, you could move them to other folders...but between photo albums, I'm pretty sure you couldn't. Same as here.

Re: Moving photos from one album to another

 

y-groups did allow photos to be moved between photo albums. I did it
frequently. Photo albums could also be sorted.
