¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThanks to all, I never scrolled down far enough to see there was an "Advanced Preferences" section, LOL. Barb ?

When I am just a member why doesn't the group I belong to show up in "My groups"
Dear all,
This is probably an elementary question, but it's important to me. I have long belonged to yahoo groups where I am not the moderator or owner :). One of these is BookerPrize@...?now [email protected],? I just received the notification that the Booker Prize people have moved and I logged in. But when I go over to My groups all I see are the three I am owner/moderator of, beta, group managers forum. Why do I not see the one where I am simply a member. Do I have to do something to have the groups I belong to without being a moderator or member show up on My Groups? Ellen |

Re: Integration with copying messages to subgroup
#integration
#subgroups
Pedja,
I would like to copy messages from Yahoo to specific subgroup instead of main group. I want members from Yahoo to be copied as members of main group. Is that possible? Yes. When you set up the transfer select the subgroup as the destination. The members will be added to both the subgroup and the primary group. If you don't include the members in the transfer to the subgroup their content will end? up "orphaned" - attributed to your account rather than theirs.

Re: Account merge :-(
On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 08:30 pm, Bonnie Rowley wrote:
First off, in groups.io, your email address IS your user ID. There is no separate user identifier. Merging means you want to use the "to" account, and delete the "from" account. Otherwise you would just keep the two accounts and not merge them, right? It's also always a good idea to set up at least two owners for every group to troubleshoot such situations. This could be either a trusted individual, or a second email address for yourself (preferably the former). A Moderator cannot reinstate your group ownership, only an Owner can. Not trying to hit you when you're down, just helping you to understand what these things means so we don't have a repeat. Having said all that... If you are the last owner of a group, groups.io *should* have kept you from deleting the account. I know that this safeguard is in place for normal account deletion, but if that safeguard can be circumvented by account merging, that sounds to me like a system bug. The best I can suggest to you at this point it to try to log in under your GMail account and see if that gets you back to your group as an owner. If not (and it probably won't), send a message to [email protected]?explaining the situation and suggesting that the same safeguard be put in place for account merging as it is for deletion. Hope this helps, Bruce |

Is there a way to embed iframe or map inside a post
Hi,
The members of our group really want to be able to embed a Google map inside a post, I tried iframe but that didn't work. Is there a way to do so? the requirement is for the map to be interactive when shown in the post. <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Thanks Motti |

On this group, all posts are moderated, so that delay also includes the 'dead zone' until it was approved at 4:24. That can vary greatly, depending on how long it takes for a moderator to approve it.

Re: Following Only & First Message Also
I use follow for this group. When I read the first email, click in the footers to follow, Groups.io does a catch up and sends me any I missed.?
However I only do this for recent posts. I wasn¡¯t sure what would happen if I did it the next day or even later.? I just tested by clicking on Follow in the footer for a message dated May 13 (two days ago). I was sent six emails that followed up on the post. Nice! Frances |

Following Only & First Message Also
I tried searching for an answer to my question, but couldn't find it in any posts.? So, any insight would be helpful.
If a member has "Following Only" & "First Message Also" selected in the Advanced Preferences AND there has been replies to the topic prior to this member choosing to "Follow this topic", will they receive the existing (past) replies?? Or will they only get any new (future) replies? |

Re: Members receiving post at different times
Paula,
We haven't heard back from you so maybe you and the other members figured something out.? If so, be nice to know what that was if you'd be willing to share.?? I will mention that, if everyone had Individual Messages set and some did not receive a post in a "timely" fashion, the email is handled asynchronously on a best effort basis.? Once groups.io has passed it on to the recipient's email server, it's out of the picture and only by tracing the headers can you learn where it went and how long it took.? There is no guarantee of delivery in a certain time.? If groups.io encountered an error in sending, it would log that error as a bounce report. Now, to investigate the "slow" emails, you can use a header analyzer tool which Google has made available (for anyone).? Info here ->? You need to get the original source document of the received email with headers (Show Original in Gmail) and paste that text into the . For example, the email I got from your original post to the GMF took 15 minutes. Created at: 5/14/2018, 4:09:38 PM CDT ( Delivered after 15 mins )
[Having researched this, I'll add it to the GMF wiki] You mentioned that your group does "daily discussions led by a panelist" - this sounds like Chat might work better if you want a more real-time discussion at a specific time. Thanks Toby |

Re: Multiple invitations not received
#membership
Chris, to designate my response to your questions, I'm using all caps. I didn't want you to think I was yelling at you. :) However, there is one lady who did not receive the personal invitation I sent her. I sent another, but she did not receive that one either. She has checked her spam folders, etc. I have sent her the link to finding our group on groups.io; hopefully that will work. Was that sent from your Owner / Moderator's address or from a different one?
Is she listed an a "bouncing member" for some reason? |
