Does anyone still depend on Flash for any functionality!?
That's just asking for trouble.
It must be years now, since Google among others started deprecating Flash.

Gaute

I sure do hope GIO isn't depending on Flash! It poses a significant security risk to anyone running it.

Flash is in use by less than 5% of websites... down from ~29% in 2011... and still falling because many users have uninstalled it and thus don't have a good experience on sites using it.

It has been deprecated by its publisher, Adobe Systems, who plan to "end-of-life" it in 2020.

There is currently no 'in place' editing for files, but it has been requested on the beta group, the official suggestion box for the site.? Text files shouldn't be too difficult, but other formats may never happen.

No, the notification goes out as soon as the mass invite is approved.? The confirmation by the invitee would happen after that.

Perhaps I'm missing something very basic here, but here goes.? Is there a way to create a new file (not transferred from Yahoo!) in Groups.io which can be edited "in place"?? Yahoo! Groups offered the option to create a text file that could subsequently be easily edited while in the site.?

I am trying to create a simple file of a list of officers for an art guild.? I would like to be able to edit the names within Groups.io Files as needed.? What I find now is that I have to create a .pdf document outside of Groups.io and then bring it in.? If I want to edit the document it seems I have to do that in my own "outside" files and then swap the files out in Groups.io?

Maureen

I was wondering the same thing.? Apparently, invitees must first REPLY to G.io to confirm their email address first, then G.io sends the notification to the Group Owner (which appears to be immediate).? I think the rate-limiting step is how long it takes the invitee to confirm their email address.

When more than 20 invitations (or direct adds on paid groups) are done within 24 hours, there's a quick check done to try to head off spammers.? If you don't get approved in 24 hours, I'd contact [email protected]

I sent invitations to a list as instructed. ?Then a message appeared at the top of the screen that said "Once your invites have been approved, they will be sent. ?You will receive a notification when this happens." ?What is the "approval" process performed by G.io? ?How long does it take? ?How do I monitor progress? ?Who may i contact if there is an issue with this process?
Thank you.

My experience would tend to support that assertion. I wonder if (a) the use of Pending Subscription messages somehow disrupts the timing activity, or (b) resending P/S messages by moderator intervention somehow resets or otherwise disrupts the timer mechanism.

It should happen automatically.? (I don't believe there are any settings for this.)? If it's not, you should contact [email protected] with all the details you can supply.

Actually I meant Gaute, not Duane!

No, you can change that on the Preferences page under your Account section.? Click on your name at the upper right and select Account, then Preferences.

Where is the "Email me a link to log in button above"? Its not there.

I ran into that some time ago.? Based on your screen shot, I'd say you have Flash disabled.? There should be 3 buttons under the "Or You Can" line, one of which is the login link request.

Thanks for your help Shal.

I've tried out some test posts and it seems to be fine for new messages, so I guess it must be an artefact of our Yahoo Groups migration.

Something we'll have to watch out for when migrating other lists I guess.

Thanks again,

Brendan.

Whether you rename or not, if you change now to YYYY.MM.DD at least the sort will going forward.

I strongly suspect that something of that sort (pun unavoidable!) is by far the best option. If (for example) Mark organised things so that the months of the year remained in the correct order that might satisfy Glenn's original point but it would start to fall down for those who need to archive weekly meetings. The months might remain correctly ordered but a different sort process would be required to keep the (weekly) dates in the correct order thereafter.

Although it can be a frustrating process I prefer the concept of "how can achieve what I require with the tools that are currently available to me?" In this case I think I would have arrived at Michael's suggestion. Yes it requires some work to rename / reorder already - stored material but IMHO that is something that goes with the territory of being a Group Owner or Moderator.

Some months ago I got a headache trying to find a way of making sense of the Photo Archive for the Group I moderate. Yes it required a lot of work (OK; I'm retired so finding the time wasn't all that hard) but the end result justified the prior thinking and subsequent effort. Which reminds me of something I was going to request of Mark... for the first page of "Photos" to be a blank sheet that can be written by Moderators only but read by all subscribers) to set up an index of all the Albums contained therein, complete with links to the albums themselves.

Chris

Hi there,

I don't understand this. The bouncing message is unnecessary and irritating, It is quite common to have two moderators. I don't want to go and check every time?if my colleague?has already approved a post. If you want to keep it, fine, but can we have a toggle to switch it off?

Martin?

In the case of timezone and date/time format it only affects members who have not already set those. That is, members who've not previously joined other groups or set up their Preferences in their account.

So Shai - just to get my head around this, if you have been a user of .IO sites before the facility to set to the ISO or European format was introduced, you are stuck with the USA format?

Cheers

Jack(;>J
