If people join here before a transfer, I don't think the files and photos will be connected to them once those are done.? If the owner isn't 'found', they get attributed to the group owner.? If there are very many, it might be better to wait for it to all be done at once.

If moving from Yahoo, you'd need to go to the /yahootransfer page and look at the bottom right.

Subject: [GMF] Bouncing

How is bouncing email handled here at the groups? Is there such a thing as bouncing and hard bouncing? I have two members who are bouncing right now. One has a red button with a B on it and the other has a blue one with a B on it. Does the system send them a warning when they begin to bounce and I thought I saw somewhere that groups.io automatically unsubs someone when they are bouncing. I'm just wondering how many emails are allowed to bounce before they get a system message and before they are automatically unsubbed, if that is the case?

Thanks!

Re: Yahoo might be dead - transfer questions

 

Yes I looked at that page. But I still don't see where anything about my specific move would be listed on that page as seemed to be implied earlier. Guess I will sit back and wait it out and see what happens over the next week or so.

File/Folder Security

 

All,?

Has anyone else needed or wanted a second folder security option? In one of my groups it came up that we would like a set of files to be viewable/editable by any member, and a select of core documents to only be viewable by the members, but moderators/owner can change the contents.

Thoughts??

Shal -
Thanks for the clarification.? If I'm reading the Direct Add directions right, Y!Group 'delivery' setting can be added with Direct Add by having one of the three designations ( digest, summary, or nomail ) at the end of the line after email address.? Since Y! exports that information with the member list export, that shouldn't be a problem, though I'll have to edit the text in the export to one of the three designations expected here; and blank out 'individual emails', since that seems to be the default.? My main concern is that other content - mainly files, photos and old messages - be available here after the conversion. I'm not sure many people consider 'join date' significant, and few have non-default 'posting privileges', which it looks like I can manually set.? ?

As I indicated previously in this thread, deleting photos out of the Emailed Photos folder -- no matter how trivial -- will show up as an "attachment deletion" edit for all affected messages.

Re: Direct Add before Easy Transfer #transfer #addmembers

 

John,

... would there be any downside if I were to jump-start our new community group by using Direct Add?

The only real downside is that when the transfer is eventually done the email addresses already present in your group (those you added) won't get copied. Meaning that their original Y!Group join date, delivery settings, and Posting Privileges won't get copied.

They might, or might not, be annoyed to have to go set themselves to Digest again (or whatever); you might, or might not, be annoyed at having to put them back on moderation again (or whatever). You'll have to judge that for your own group.

Re: messages by topic

 

baxter,

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?

It can't be disabled, but you can switch your view to Messages by clicking on the blue Topics button and selecting Messages from the drop-down menu:



Your selection is "sticky" unless you use the links on the Groups.io home page; those will reset you to Topics view.

Rename Group didn't work

 

I used Admin Settings to rename a group I had recently created. The operation appeared to complete successfully and the new name appears in the My Groups list but I can't get to its page. Clicking on the new name or typing in the URL, I get a server not found error on either the old or new name. Suggestions?

Thanks,

Re: deleting Photos

 

Win and Shal,

Win,

? While I understand the desire to "just put stuff (images, etc.) in as an attachment ...
my own personal 'reality test' is that if a poster isn't willing to take the time to
Upload something to Files or Photos ... then they shouldn't expect that whatever
they put in as an attachment has any more "permanence" than the message
itself.

? That said - it would seem to me that if an image is in a message (post) then
it should "survive as long as the message survives".? I think that the way
attachments work is that groups.io actually stores the images in the Photos
folder ... but it doesn't keep track of whether it was uploaded or sent as an
attachment.
? So, without adding that info "some how" it would seem that if we had a
"delete by date" or some other such manner that we might have what we
need?

Shal,
? This can open up the proverbial can of worms.? One owner/moderator/user
wants delete this way, the next one that way, etc. ... and it can be hard to
-simply- add deleting images/whatever thru any other method that doing
it individually.? Which, to my way of thinking, makes ownership/moderation
SIGnificantly more difficult/time consuming.

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.

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.?
