Janice,

I use Outlook on a Windows 10 computer.I don't use or know much about Outlook, but if you reply to this message the same way that you normally do in your other groups (that is, using Outlook rather than the Groups.io pages) I'll take a look at the View Source of your message and see if I can tell what's happening.

Re: daemon posting error
Ro,
Started a new group. Only one gal is having problems posting, getting aI think it is likely that she's sending to an incorrect email address. Errors from the "Mailer Daemon" are typically from one's own email system, saying that it had some problem attempting to deliver the message. But the only way to know would be to read the error message and see what it says. I am suspecting its not an IO issue, but what do I know.I think it is most likely that your suspicion is correct.

Re: WIKI pages
J,
I've experienced this in a very bad way and have reported it to Mark asThat's unfortunate. The Remove Font Style button (eraser, Ctrl+\) should be the work-around for that problem. If even it won't clear out the pasted formatting that's a problem. I don't know if you tried it, but it may also be possible to clear out the pasted formatting by using Code View (the "</>" button), but that oughtn't be necessary - it requires some knowledge of HTML coding probably more than a little patience.

Re: WIKI pages
Janice,
Is it possible to add a PDF with screen shots as a GMF WIKI page?Not directly. You can copy the content of a PDF and paste it in while editing a wiki page, but I think you'll lose the formatting of the PDF, and I don't know what might become of any images in the PDF if you try that. So there would likely be some formatting work to do after pasting in the content. I don't understand much about WIKI. In my group it is used for LINKSAs LeeAnne said, the wiki pages are created and edited just like you would create or edit a message using the Groups.io site - almost exactly the same edit box and formatting tools. The pages are then saved in the Wiki section rather than being sent as messages. One defect at present is that the formatting bar for Wiki pages currently lack the button to insert an image. It is possible to get images to display in the wiki pages by resorting to trickery. A tutorial for that might be in order, but I was rather hoping Mark would add the button instead. /g/beta/message/8527 Maybe beta@ needs a new message, clearly stating that suggestion as a request.

Re: WIKI pages
Hi Janice, Not that I am much of a Wiki expert but it works just like these messages but it saves a page instead of sending a message. The beauty of the wiki is that you can set it so members or mods only can edit it. ?This works for our group as we have frequent updates for members to find information. The Table of Contents (ToC) doesn't work very well but it works enough to organise long home pages. ?At this time only the h1 style ?(use the ?button)?will make a working link in the page's ToC, but it works enough to get information across. You can see in ShalsTests.? -- ?Archivist |
Re: Spam/phishing mails
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.

Re: Help with Wiki Toc?
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.
