Permissions to upload?

Our treasurer is trying, for the first time since transfer, to upload her monthly report.

She reports that she can't and that she sees:

The circle backslash no symbol appears over the Upload File button.
Do people have to be moderators or something to upload a file?

Thanks,

Glenn

This video describes them as a filing system. That's how I use them.
Your hashtags will likely be different from mine because mine mirror the topics my group talks about.

Hi, Duane. I did read the links you posted. The first one is more for me as the group owner. The second one I have included in the welcome message. However, if there a non-Twitter or Instagram specific video I could share with our members that would be great.?

Correction!? This doesn't happen any more since Mark 'fixed' the hashtag usage in the Subject line.? Sorry if I caused any confusion.

#hashtags #transfer #hashtags #transfer

 

Greetings. We are in the process of transferring?our Yahoo group of fourteen?years to groups.io.? Many/most of our members (including me) are not experienced with the #hashtag feature.? I am looking for any relevant, useful, and short YouTube videos or other resources that would simply and clearly explain how to use them to share with our group members. So far, I have found videos focused on Twitter and Instagram usage. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Nathan Atkinson

Actually, I have never seen any confirmation that the invite was received by transfer@.
Uhm... I'll try again.

This is not always the case, I am afraid. I have gone through all the steps and sent an invite to transfer@ several days ago (my YG group activity log confirms that the invite was correctly sent out), but it has not been accepted so far.
To be entirely clear, this is how the boxed message reads, word for word:

"We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite."

Note that it does not say that the Yahoo group invitation has been accepted, only that it's been received.

I'm sure this is an attempt on Mark's part to keep people from sending multiple invitations, although few seem to getting the message.

Regards,
Bruce

You could always add them to the Files section before the move (or copy them after) if they're important.? Extra work for you unless you can get the members that submitted them to do it.

Re: Uploading list of members to remove?

No don't think there is, but you can suggest this to the beta group if there is not a way to do this.

I love the idea of a keyboard or a column or what not you can add in the spread sheet.

Re: New subscribers and closed groups

 

I never look at or reply to any ntices before I join a group. I just throw them in the trash, so yeah for ?at least the member it's aeditional work as I like I said never look. ?I just assume I'm in and that's ? it.

The group I moderate does this, and if there is a perceived need to do it (or something else akin to it) then a little bit of additional work is unavoidable. If owners or moderators find this little extra work intolerable then perhaps they shouldn't be owners or moderators...

Thank you?Duane for the 'zips won't be copied' note.?That is?sucky for what I wanted. Zips?have been a safety decision for?things like written, tested and released tutorials. Thanks for letting me know not to expect them to be copied and moved. Best to know now for me and my members,?rather than later.

If they're saved as files, that will work.? If they're attachments, they won't be copied.

There has been a lot of discussion here and on the beta group about having this capability.? For now, most are using the Pending Subscription message, though it does add a step and a bit more work for owners/moderators.

Re: #suggestion - Auto approval of calendar reminders #suggestion

 

There's no need for them to be moderated if you don't want that.? Just go to the hashtag, probably #cal-reminder, deselect the Moderated box, and Update Hashtag.? I've done this for most of my hashtags.

#suggestion - Auto approval of calendar reminders #suggestion

 

I did a search and found nothing on this topic.

We have a good number of events in the calendar which send out reminders. ?For example everyone's birthday. ?It would be nice to have an option on the owners/moderators calendar settings to by-pass the need for reminders to be moderated. ?By putting it in the calendar it would be "approved" automatically.

Peace,
Tom

If you haven't received confirmation that the invite was received, then Y! didn't get it there.? With the way Y! has been acting, I wouldn't trust their logs too much.? I suspect that's one of the reasons that Mark has this included in the transfer flow.

If you see the message, but it hasn't been accepted, that's not a problem, just wait.? Wait time can be up to 3-4 weeks, depending on the backlog.? There was recently a wait time added while Mark was deciding on the message transfer limit.
