Is the database of photos searchable like it was in Yahoo?

Shal, The scam/spam/phishing mails come from Support World-Finance-Group. A whole bunch of them. It is probably a coincidence. The odd thing is that it started right after I set up the io group and it happened on a an email address that I haven't used for years, but I use it now for the io group. So that got me worried.

Each owner/mod can choose to receive such messages from everyone, from members only, or not at all. I generally recommend that at least one active mod in each group elect to receive +owner messages from "everyone" - in case a person who's having trouble joining the group wishes to make contact. Does anyone else get these mails? "These mails" is a pretty broad statement. I've received spam and phishing emails in pretty much every email address I've ever had, and that goes a long way back before the inception of Groups.io. Shal

Hi all,
A couple of days ago I started a group on io. I am just testing it with a friend. It is a closed group. I am using 2 email addresses that I don't use elsewhere as does my friend. Since we are on groups.io we both receive spam and phishing mails on these addresses. I am really worried. Is io compromised? Does anyone else get these mails?
Cheers,
Ary

There would seem to be three possibilities:
??? 1. Your computer has spyware on it
??? 2. Your friends computer has spyware on it
or
??? 3. groups.io is badly compromised

Mark has asked that bugs be reported to [email protected]. I'm sure those that use the ToC would appreciate knowing if/when it gets squished. Duane

LeeAnne, I wrote: I think the bug has to do with URL syntax for fragment part. There's a
possibility that the bug is browser-dependent, I've only tested it with
Firefox. Nope, that was wrong. Period (".") is explicitly an unreserved character in URL syntax. But this does leave open the possibility that other punctuation marks might cause trouble. The evidence is simpler (but more mysterious) than that. For some reason the presence of a period within the header text suppresses the generation (in the resulting web page) of the anchor tag which tells the browser where to scroll to. How or why this happens is a mystery (to me). I don't see any way for a user to get around it. It doesn't seem like something that is "by design", so I'd still classify it as a bug. Shal

LeeAnne I've been working on the Wiki for the ECIR. In the Toc, there are a few
links but one just refuses to work.
I uploaded it to your test group (hope this was okay) so you can see all
the details. I wasn't sure this group would be appropriate for it. Yes, shalstest is the perfect place for this kind of testing. And your thought is correct, GMF is not. I poked at it a bit and the problem seems to be the "." (decimal) in "Groups.io" - somehow that causes the TOC linkage to fail for that header. Seems like a squishy bug in the TOC mechanism, and I don't think there's anything you can do about it by editing the code view. Definitely one to report to [email protected], in the mean time I guess you'll have to figure out how to name that section without a "." in it. Or live with the fact that particular link in the TOC doesn't work. I think the bug has to do with URL syntax for fragment part. There's a possibility that the bug is browser-dependent, I've only tested it with Firefox. Shal

Re: 2 hour and 11 minute gap in messages yesterday in our group. 42 message numbers missing
David, the gap was not on this group but on one I moderate. As long as "Mark sez it's ok" It's ok with me. Bob

This group is publically archived and the number string in the archives for this group appears to be unbroken there so you can use the arhcives to catch up on any posts you missed /g/GroupManagersForum/messages?p=ID,0,,20,1,542,580 Sincerely, David Dillard Temple University (215) 204 - 4584 jwne@...

None of our moderators delete messages unless they communicate to the 'senior' moderators first.
Yesterday was a very active day on that board. ?Could the system be counting Drafts that were not completed?

Hello, yes you can. It is directly under privacy. And for me, it is a pop-up menu. If you are using Windows, it will be a combo box. The reason why it as a pop-up menu for me, is I am using a Mac.

Shal, A member brought it to my attention. ?Found nothing unusual. ?Mark indicated it can happen under some circumstances that the number sequence jumps bot I didn't bother him to elucidate further. ?He did state that outstanding Drafts had no effect. Just one of those unusual artifacts sometimes found in real time software. Bob

Re: 2 hour and 11 minute gap in messages yesterday in our group. 42 message numbers missing
Bob, Has anyone else experienced a gap like this yesterday or any other
time? I haven't noticed a gap, but I haven't gone looking either. Are there any clues in the group's activity logs? Yesterday was a very active day on that board. Could the system be
counting Drafts that were not completed? That could be. If you want to test it in a low-traffic environment without disturbing a "real" group, you're welcome to try making some posts and drafts in my test group. Shal /g/shalstest
