Re: Staying logged in on a phone
As long as the browser used doesn't clear cookies when it closes, the login is good for 30 days on each device.? I'd suspect a setting on their phone.

Any IO posting that gets put into a member spam folder whether with or without their knowledge WILL result in them being un-subscribed.? Paul, You are incorrectly overstating the problem. Just the act of of putting an emailed posting into a spam folder does not trigger this event. Gerald [Mod note : the difficulty is that the trigger is dependent on the recipient's email service provider, ?so blanket statements are wrong for many users. Some, e.g. Gmail, don't send reports at all.] |

Staying logged in on a phone
I never use my phone for connecting to Groups.io and one of my members wrote to me and asked the following question:
I was wondering...Is there a way to stay logged into the groups on the iPhone?? I can stay logged in on my computer, but not on my phone...and I hate having to put my email and password in each time... |
Re: Downloading photos
Jim, I am using Windows 10 and Edge as my browser. When I download the photo
using Edge, it does not offer me the zoom function you are talking about. I did find I could copy and paste it from there to my desktop and the Windows Photo Viewer opens up and allows me to zoom in. So I have a work-around. I did try the method someone mentioned earlier about using Chrome and zooming in by using CTRL and the mouse wheel, but that doesn't work on my computer for some reason.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI posted a request to this effect in the beta group. As is all too frequently the case around here, it got shot down quicker than a wounded duck...but at least I tried. ? I appreciate your trying, Bruce. A fellow group member let me know that if I copy and paste the photo onto my desktop, my Windows Photo Viewer will open for me to be able to zoom in on the details of the photo and also allow me to save it as a jpeg if I want. I can work with that. ? Annick Phillips ? |

Those differences can be startling: * Estonia, for example, requires compliance within five working days, with a single fifteen day extension permitted, if, and only if, the original request lacked clarity; * Ireland, OTOH, gives thirty days to comply, with no extensions; Additional things that gave me pause were: * All requested data must be provided to the requester, in a commonly used format. So far so good. However, for list owners, that means that if a request is made of all emails sent by the individual, or quote the individual, the list-owner has to be provide them to the requester. The only path to compliance with that, that I can see, is to set up an email account that receives all messages sent to the list, and automatically archives them in an email forensic analysis program; * Consent to subscribe must be explicit, and must be retained by the list owner. This implies that list-owners and moderators should not auto-subscribe individuals, but will, on request, have to unsubscribe individuals; * Membership lists contain personal data, and as such, probably should not be publicly available; ##### Something to consider, is appointing one moderator, whose sole function is to ensure conformance with GDPR (Europe), CASL (Canada. I have no idea what this law is about, but I've heard it often enough in discussions about GDPR, to assume that it has some relevance), and other privacy legislation in other countries, or regions of the world.

? If you haven¡¯t seen the discussion yet there is one IO issue you need to know to know about and accept before transferring. Any IO posting that gets put into a member spam folder whether with or without their knowledge WILL result in them being un-subscribed. They then have to find and correct the IO spam status to regain uninterrupted membership. It is a pain in the buns for the owner/moderator. ? My group is only 800 but 50 of them initially were booted and even now after a month in IO 39 are still in this loop. We are parents of children declining with a terminal disorder so this disconnect for 39 parents is killing me. I may well not have transferred if I knew of this before transferring. YahooGroups just ignores it because they are big enough no other internet identities will block them; not so IO, they say they need to have a good spam record or be blocked by too many entities. ? Search the GMF archive; there are dozens of postings pro and con on this issue. ? Good luck in your decision. ? Paul

...simply send a message to the moderators saying something like?"Please re-verify that X is still a member of this group."I think that misses a couple of points. Firstly if the "recipient" concerned wasn't a member of the Group then they wouldn't have been sent the email in the first place; secondly your suggestion includes nothing that would prompt the recipient to actually do something in an attempt to either prevent incoming traffic from being marked as spam or at the very least reduce the incidence. Your proposal could go on ad infinitum with no action being taken to find a "cure". In the meantime those MSPs operating FBLs might spot that the spam just kept rolling in, and that isn't desirable. Whatever course of action is adopted there has to be something that prompts action on the part of the recipient. Chris |
Re: Message editor acting funky
I happened to think that my posting preference might be involved.? Turns out that using HTML preference has the "Quote Whole Post" glitch, but markdown and plain text show the icon.? Mark mentioned that there are glitches with the HTML editor and he was working on it, so maybe that's what you're seeing.
