Re: Posts showing "Edited" when they were not edited
Hi Shal,
Thanks for replying.
After clicking on "Compare Revisions" there are NO red or green markings showing in the posts. At the end, the statement "1 attachment has been deleted" is attached.
#126890 & #126892
No matter which two I compare, the second has all of the subject's history included. This makes it hard to differentiate where compare1 ends and compare 2 begins.
?
When I went to capture this I noticed that now 2 attachments have been deleted????
Again thanks,
Ken

Hi All,
I believe this Chrome app will still work. Yahoo GMF Group member Sam Hobbs put this together and it worked/works great.
Paul, Ohio, USA We have 3400+ members and Yahoo will only export the first 1000.
Apparently, the only way to export the remaining members would be to delete the
first thousand. So I tried a workaround that, well, didn¡¯t work.

You could check that in the activity log. Click on Messages to make it a bit easier.

Re: emails to group instead of sender
#issue
Hello, ? I own two groups: In both groups, it is set to reply to group. On one of the groups there is a ¡°reply to sender¡± link in the footer. I would like this in the other group. When I asked the original question, it was recommended that I go to Message Policy and uncheck the "Remove other reply options." This is unchecked. The ¡°Reply To Sender¡± option is not showing up. Any other suggestions. ? Thank you. ? Charis ? ?

Subject: Re: [GMF] emails to group instead of sender #issue ? If you want your members to always reply to sender, and never to the group, there is a setting you can change.
Go to Admin/Settings
Scroll down the Settings page to the Message Policies area
About mid-way in the Messages Policies box is a setting called Reply To. You can set this to Sender.?
I have my group set to Sender and Group right now, so that users can select to send to the Sender only, but it's not easy to change it to Sender only, especially if the person is responding from an e-mail.

Re: Yahoo might be dead - transfer questions
And where might we find the 'Easy Transfer link'? Jim
?
|
Since it appears that Y! death throes have the Easy Transfer queue taking additional time, would there be any downside if I were to jump-start our new community group by using Direct Add?? I want to be sure that the additional content from the failing Ygroup is eventually carried forward.? It looks like I can re-format the Ygroup member export list easily enough to the email / message delivery format that Direct Add looks for.? However, I'm happy to wait if doing this would complicate the rest of the Easy Transfer process in any way.?

Re: Yahoo might be dead - transfer questions
On an earlier transfer, I thought it was taking too long.? So I checked the Easy Transfer link and found out that the transfer was held up until I answered a question about files sizes.
So you might check to see if there's something like that happeneing.

Subject: Re: [GMF] User name is not set
?
Mike,
In Yahoo groups, the display name is a problem when it comes to
downloading a member database. You can display the member list in what looks
like a normal spreadsheet layout with 7 columns, but when you download or copy the
list, the entries of members using a display name have two extra columns that
other members do not;
When I export a Y!Group manage
members list in CSV format I get exactly six columns:
Display Name, Email, Status,
Delivery, Posting, Joined
With no misalignment caused by
empty cells in the Display Name.
I think what you describe happened shortly after the
Neo roll-out, but has been fixed for years (Firefox, Windows10).
Is it the same in ¡ªis
the display name itself in the member database or is it ¡°aliased¡± and thus not
treated as an actual cell?
There are no irregularities in the CSV produced by
Groups.io.
Email, Display Name, Username,
Joined, Status, Post Status, Email Delivery, Message Selection,
Auto Follow Replies, Mod Status, User Status

Re: Yahoo might be dead - transfer questions
I just had a 1000+ member group transferred in less than two days this week.

members don't pay attention to the subject and send info that is unrelated to the topic. Can the conversation grouping be disabled? I.E. can each message show independently? I cannot find out how. ==baxter, owner of 2 groups

I understand display names, and, as owner/moderator, have modified a few after the move from Y!. But I do not understand User Name. It is not something I can edit, and I haven¡¯t found anywhere that it is displayed or used. It is not set for transferred or new members. ? Go to any group where you are admin, select Members and click on a name link. At the top of the Membership page is User Name. Under User Name is says ¡°User name not set. View Profile¡±. This is followed by Display Name, and the displayed name. ? The same thing appears on your own Group Profile, on any group (I assume). On this group, for example, select Subscription, ?Group Profile, Edit Group Profile. It¡¯s between Profile Photo and Display Name. In my case, it says ¡°Not set¡±. Does it ever say anything else? ? I assume it¡¯s not important, I¡¯m just curious. ? Randy T ?

Each person's account has a "user name" and a "display name." Neither is all that significant for actually participating in GIO, as the email address is the user ID.
If the user creates a profile or fills out the proper fields in their account they have the option of populating a "display name." I believe that if they post to the group, sometimes a display name is also taken from their message header and populated automatically.
What I did in my group was go through all these entries in the Member List and populate these names for them, just so I could keep track of what email address goes with what person. For my particular group, this is necessary, as membership in the parent organization is required for membership in the GIO group, and otherwise it's difficult to keep track of who to boot when they let their membership expire. Other group owners consider this a terrible faux pas and a breach of subscriber's "right to internet anonymity" (whatever that means).?What you do with your group is up to you. It IS your group, after all.
Hope this helps,
Bruce

Thanks Toby. I have checked there and nothing appears.?
What happens if starting a poll is not finished? Does it disappear? I am wondering if they did not start the poll correctly and that is why it can not be found.

Have you checked the Polls view?? (Messages (left menu) -> Polls (drop down list under group name where you can select Topics, Messages, Expanded, Polls).? They should be there.

Shal, the reason that I don¡¯t want ALL old attachments deleted is that mine
is a Photoshop group and several times a week I send in a tutorial with a
sample. I want to keep those samples associated with the emails for when a new
member may want to search the archives for a particular technique.
When the members do that tutorial, they send in their own sample. We don¡¯t
need those samples after a certain time, but we do need the original sample with
its email.
So I need to do ¡°selective¡± deleting. One thing that is making it difficult
is that sometimes members will reply and include the original message and sample
in their reply.
I have checked out the link you provided and none of the suggestions
exactly fit what I need... the idea of consolidate (1b) has merit, but how to I
make sure that the original sample is the one retained... at the moment I am
having to click on a photo, see who sent it, then do the appropriate action...
delete or keep... tedious, but accurate... it looks like that is the only way at
the moment.
I¡¯m working on an explanation and instructions for my group, hopefully when
they read them they will take it to heart.
Thanks for your reply though.

Open the "Admin" menu on the left of the screen, select "Invite".? In the "Emails" box you can enter one or more email addresses, then click "Send Invitations" at the bottom.? You must be logged in with your owner or moderator account to do this.
