Re: #Photos #photos

Yes it is. But I found a work around for my group. I simply disabled photos. If I want to use photos at all, I can enable them in the files section. Since I do html email with a lot of graphics attached, I did not want them to build up and take up all of our space in the group. Thanks for your suggestions.

I asked for this feature in beta a couple of weeks ago, but I'm sure it was not the first time. Even worse, every time someone replies to your message without first stripping the image, you will get another copy. And another, and another...

Right now the only way I know to keep embedded images from landing in the "Emailed Photos" folder is to not embed them at all, but to place them in cloud storage somewhere and add the URL to your message via an <img> tag.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
Re: Files and Photos Sections #files #photos

 

Duane; thanks for that. There is one problem that is beyond even Mark and that is the sometimes capricious way in which members title albums they are uploading, resulting in closely related albums being at opposite ends of a list of >250 albums. I am punishing myself for past misdemeanours by going through the photo archive renaming albums to get things into some sort of sensible grouping. Moving photos between albums would obviously be highly beneficial anyway, as it would allow the number of albums to be reduced.

It may not be the best solution but I am going to trial a Photo Album Index (with links) in our Group wiki. Looks promising so far...

IPad Photo question #photos

Nancy in Renton
 

I¡¯m using an iPad. When I include a photo in a message there doesn¡¯t seem to be a way to retitle the photo. So when it goes into the Emailed Photos album it has a camera generated name on the image.

is there a way to move an image from that folder into a personal album?

i don¡¯t have access to a PC.

Duane,

?

Though I can't find it at the moment,

?

it?s in ?My membership¡°, which you find under the cover photo in YG. When you click that and then ¨C¡°edit membership¡±, there are various features like ¡°Identity¡±, ¡°E-Mail-settings¡±, and also ¡°Sort and view settings¡±, all of them provided with a little pencil to edit. The terms might be different in English. This is just translated from the German version.

?

I'm pretty sure Mark has mentioned that he plans to add those settings, and more.

?

That sounds pretty good to me, thanks.

IIRC, hard bouncing members are not included in the transfer to Groups.IO.
Because of that I would presume the actions seen are post transfer.

I did not think of it at the time but someone suggested to leave the old group open but put everyone on moderation.
If anyone now still posts to the old group they can receive an eMail telling them to subscribe to the new IO group.
Re: Is there a way to have a "Welcome" message automatically sent to new people when they join?

 

Since at least one of the options in the Spam Control area must be selected, it would probably work best for you to select only Restricted Membership.? After they are approved, no further moderation would be needed.

Then go to Admin > Settings and select the Member Notices tab at the top.? If you don't have an existing Welcome message, choose to create a New Notice, make it a Notice type of Welcome, and add the information you want before using the Add Notice button at the bottom.

There are plans to add several features to the photos section, shown on the Photos card at . I don't think Mark is keeping that site updated much any more though.? I believe he mentioned that he's looking for a way to keep us updated that won't use a lot of his time.

Re: Vetting New Subscribers

 

Hi Michael,
I send them an email, requesting pertinent information from my own account. We have that information in the short group description. I was never satisfied with the little bit Yahoo allowed. You can see it here: /g/MonGenes

Yes; it's simple.

Set up a "Pending Subscription" message ("Settings" then "Member Notices") and make sure that it is set to "Active". When an application turns up in "Pending" this message will automatically be sent to the Applicant.

How you word it is entirely up to you. You then decide to admit (or not, as the case may be) the applicant based on their response.

Files and Photos Sections #files #photos

 

Should the need arise rearranging the a "Files" section is straightforward; Folders can be created and Files moved between them. I have just done this on the group I moderate because over the years it had become rather untidy.

There appears to be no equivalent process available for Photos; OK they can be deleted, but short of downloading each and everyone and then uploading them again into a newly created Folder there is no way that I have found of reorganising them. Apart from downloading and uploading again being tedious beyond description I suspect that the attributions might well be lost in the process. There also appears to be no way of creating an Index so that users have some chance of finding what they want to see without having to go through each and every Photo in each and every Album. We seem to have 253 Albums, and an estimated 1500 - 2000 photos.

Has this caused headaches for other Owners & Moderators, or have I missed something obvious? Should we be asking for the means to edit / index Photo Archives more easily? I suppose that judicious editing of Album Titles might be a possible start...

Re: #Photos #photos

 

Marie; is your Group set up to enable attachments or not? If yes, does it need to be? If that is the case then the only other solution is to remove your graphics at source. If you don't need the ability to accept attachments then disable them.

Re: Settings to change the order of files and databases

Don,

?

When I was on Y the databases acted the same as they do on Group.io for me. After setting the way I wanted information sorted, once I closed the dbase and opened it again, it defaulted back to what it was before. I never found a way on Y for it to change the default permanently.

?

when you went into subscription in YG, there was a big field named ¡°sort and view settings¡± where you could edit the order of messages, files, links and photos. Once you changed the order, it stayed that way until you decided to change it again. I find this a very comfortable function and thought it might exist somewhere and I hadn?t found it yet.

Result of 2nd test message rejection:? Still no "Bcc to me" or "Bcc all moderators" have shown up in my email or in my spam folder so not working for my group yet.? Does it take time for Mark's change to take effect?

Hi, everyone,

I can search for files, members and databases either alphabetically or by date of arrival, but I cannot set it so it stays changed, a setting I was used to have in yg. Maybe I just haven?t found it yet¡­.
