Bertrand,
The current group is linked to a database which refers to the yahooAs Bruce implied, you're in a tough spot here because there will only be piecewise correlation between the numbering from the Y!Group and in the Groups.io group. If you're a moderator you can use "View Source" in the More menu to see the header of the message. Groups.io added one at the top to identify the corresponding Yahoo Group message number: X-Yahoo-Msgnum: With enough tedious effort you could use that info to find and record the endpoints of each segment that has the same offset (the offset should be monotonically increasing. It may not be too arduous if members and mods seldom deleted any messages in the Yahoo Group. Of course updating your database would be another effort. Hmm, I wonder if the transfer agent could be improved to include that table of segments in the transfer results notice. That might be a reasonable request to make in the beta group: With the right kind of programming skills one might be able to create a script to go read them all and produce a correspondence table, or a list of the segments (as above). Or, the fact that data is available leads to a different request you could make on beta@ - a means to search and/or sort by Y!Group number.

Re: Replace Moderator
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý¡°Files and photos can be moved manually by the members who had added them. They can also be moved by you but will get listed under your profile.¡± ? I did the same thing as you, and the ownership of the files changed to me also, since I was the one that uploaded them to our new groups.io group. So that the original creators of the files got their credit for the files I uploaded, I added their name to the description of each file that I could find an owner of. An example would be ¡°Ahoy For Projects by David & Carol Sibley¡±. ? Photos was a different story, since our members can make their own Photo Albums. For the most part albums made by past members that were not current members of the new site, were either assigned to the owner of the group (Me), or had no ownership at all, but as the group owner I could still control the album. There were a few albums, where the owners of the albums transferred to the new group, but lost ownership of their albums in the new group. In those cases the album owners had to download all they wanted out of their album, then make a new album to upload their things into, after I deleted their old album. It was done that way, so the naming convention of the albums stayed in alphabetical order. I still have members that have albums they never took ownership of to date (They¡¯ve been alerted to this situation a couple of times), so I imagine when they finally get around to wanting to do something with their albums they¡¯ll be notifying me of their problem. ?

Re: Searching issues
Alexis,
When using the search option, it seems to return results for the firstYou should have promptly received an automated "[Request received]" message from support. If not, you need to figure out if it landed in your Spam folder or was otherwise diverted by your email service, or if your message wasn't sent, or was sent to the wrong address. If you got the automated reply, but are awaiting a human response that normally takes a day or so, but recently support has been innundated both with Yahoo Group transfer requests and likely with issues relating to Europe's new GDPR law. Still, it shouldn't take Mark more than a few days to respond. I'd be interested to hear what response you (eventually) get from support, or however this issue turns out. If there's an undocumented restriction on searching lengthy messages that deserves to be brought to light. Also, is there a post or a wiki page or such like that also explainsThanks Bruce for that excellent page! /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Using-the-Search-Engine Part of the data in the messages are in hexadecimal format and IThat's... peculiar. I tried searching for that and got no results, rather than a bunch of messages with those characters highlighted. But I didn't create any messages that would actually contain that string so maybe I didn't have the initial conditions of the test set up correctly. You didn't accidentally include any invisible separators between those characters did you? For example, did you simply type the string "A1DEF2" into the search box or did you copy/paste it from somewhere (like a message body)?

Re: Members cannot post photos in my group - why not?

Go to Admin->Settings->Features->Photos->Permissions. Make sure it is set to "subscribers can view and upload."

If this is set correctly and subscribers are still having trouble, it's probably because they aren't logged in. Refer them to this for login instructions: /static/help#password Hope this helps, Bruce ----- Original Message -----

Re: Help with STAT Letters
AliceT,
When we send Stationery letters it goes to the group all broken up.I don't have experience with stationary groups, but my understanding is that there are a few group settings that are relevant. In the Message Formatting box: Normalize HTML Emails - don't check Attachments - allow Plain Text Only - don't check In the Photos box: Max Size In Email - No resizing Also, each subscriber has a setting to control the largest allowed attachment. That might affect the stationary images (I'm not sure about that). On your group's Settings page, in the "Default Sub Settings" tab, you might want: Max Attachment Size - Unlimited That won't affect any current subscribers, but it will set the default for new subscribers when they join your group.

#suggestion - Add address field to profile
#suggestion
In our application, it would be helpful if members could include their personal contact information, including mailing address, in their profile which could then be downloaded for snail mail and contact lists. ? Not sure how/if GDPR would come into play, but since it would be voluntary it should not be a problem. ? Here is my suggestion: ? In the profile have the following optional fields: ? Mailing address: Address 1 Address 2 City, State, Zip Country Phone: Cell Home ? In the Admin Settings, there would be a checkbox that says ¡°Include personal contact information in the member profile.¡±??The box would default to un-checked so those groups who do not want to collect personal information would not be affected. ? Then if this could be downloaded as an Excel (or CSV) file it could then be easily used for mailing. ? Peace, Tom |

Tom,

That would be handy in my classmate groups - we're a bunch of people who've kept in touch for (far too many) decades in real life, so most of us don't mind sharing real-world contact info (address, phone number, etc.) with other group members. We use a database table for that now, but it has a bit of an out-of-sight, out-of-mind problem -- the group Directory is more visible. Not sure how/if GDPR would come into play, ...Me either (IANAL) but given that filling in the info would be purely voluntary, and would be for the express purpose of sharing it with other group members, I don't see a practical problem.

As for the speed, well it may be fast but if it only searches part of a message then it is of no use at all.I think the premise is that by the time you've gotten 500 words into a message the subject matter should have been mentioned at least once. Groups.io was set up to accommodate discussion groups...those with a need to post lengthy documents as messages and rely on the search engine to index those documents for them are in a definite minority here.

Re: Searching issues
Another thing to keep in mind is that search only finds complete words.? If you were searching for A1DEF2 as part of C2A1DEF2, it won't be found.? Basically, you can search for items that have a space on either end.? I haven't yet found a post long enough to check on finding it further down, but maybe this will allow you to do so.? There has been some discussion on the beta group about having partial searches, especially with things like part numbers (or code), but no progress yet.
