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


Re: User name is not set

 

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.

Re: emails to group instead of sender #issue

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

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.

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'?

Direct Add before Easy Transfer #transfer #addmembers

 

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

Mike Conder
 

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.

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: messages by topic

 

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.

n my group the profile has an entry "User name is not set". What is the significance of that statement?

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


Re: Poll

 

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.

Re: deleting Photos

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

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.

Win,

I¡¯ve started deleting photos from a couple of months ago which were inserted images (oh how I wish I could select several at a time and bulk delete... lol).
?
Other than cluttering up the Emailed Photos album, is there a reason to bother deleting them?

An alternative is in the Message Formatting section of your group's settings: Delete Old Attachments when out of space, and then just let the site deal with them:



For what it is worth, some ideas to make it easier to delete or consolidate these repeat photos have been discussed in beta.
