It could probably be done, but I wouldn't do it.? To me, it seems to go against the spirit of limited storage for free groups.

Depending on how much over you are and how important detail is for the photos, you might be able to have them imported at a reduced scale, to the same group as the files, to get under the limit.

Hi
I am not an expert on GDPR. ?However, the consent you require is not specific to the communication medium you use so if you obtained consent of the data subject (or you met one of the other five lawful reasons to hold data apply - necessary for performance of a contract; compliance with a legal obligation; to protect the vital interests of a data subject; performance of a task carried out in the public interest; necessary for the performance of legitimate interests by the data controller) then you can continue to send message via groups.io just like you did when using yahoogroups.

Trust this helps.

Bruce,
Yes, in the dialog, select multiple files then do the Add.? It tries to preview the file content which may cause an error in the dialog display, but the files will be uploaded.

I have a group where the owner has passed away and none of the moderators can invite [email protected] a member.? The group is just a file storage overflow of another group.? I have backed up the group using PF Offline so have all of the files.

Can I do a bulk upload to groups.io or am I facing the prospect of having to upload each file and/or folder individually?

TIA

You won't see the Edit Poll option if the Topic is locked.? You'll need to unlock it, then Edit Poll to close it.

I have a group where the combined size of files and photos exceed the allotment on groups.io.? Can I split the group into two separate transfers with one keeping the old group name and the other being the photos transferred to something like old group-photos?

I don't see Edit Poll on a poll I want to close. I see Edit Topic, but that doesn't give me a Close Poll option. Where do I find it?

Thanks,

We're looking at transferring our members-only UK-based Yahoo newsgroup to a new Group.io newsgroup.? Our society set up the newsgroup many years ago.?
With the new?General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) coming into force in May this year I am concerned that the members did not each give us their express permission to use there data from the Yahoo newsgroup to use ona new groups.io platform.? Has anyone had any experience or legal advice on whether we can transfer their info to the Groups.io forum without first obtaining there express permission to do so?

Thanks

I'm looking to transfer our Yahoo newsgroup to Groups.io.? It seems so much better that Yahoo. For one,it actually works!.? I particularly like the integration with Facebook. I have one query though.? When I post a test message on our facebook page, it takes over a hour to get to my test group.io page.? Is this normal?? Is there any way of speeding this up?

Thanks

Frances,

Shal, your two groups about groups - this is the first time I remember
hearing about your other group, Group_Help.

Group_Help isn't actually /my/ group, though its owner graciously invited me to moderate there and I accepted.

GMF and Group_Help were created independently, Group_Help about a week earlier, with roughly the same mission.

Is this a more appropriate spot to refer newbies or would-be's? My
daughter belongs to a home schooling group in YahooGroups. They are
looking for a new home.

GMF is directed at the needs of group managers: novice, experienced but new to Groups.io, and expert alike. So this is a good place for Y!Group refugees.

Hi

I discovered that punctuation counts in Find or Start a Group! A name search (default) using the underscore in group_help does quickly retrieve the group.

Shal,

Does the picture show in the group's Messages? As part of the message body

or as an attachment?

The picture does show in the groups message, and I think as an attachment. I
copied the element using Google Chrome as the browser to inspect element.

<div class="yahoo-compose-assist-image-card
ymail-android-inline-img-container ymail-card"><img
id="ymail_attachmentId39336" class="inline-image-global
inlined-image-cid-ebeadf6f-56e4-46b6-a97d-aa550e904cb1 myimg-responsive"
src="/g/foggers/attachment/19902/0" style="width:100%;
max-width:800px;"><br></div>

<img id="ymail_attachmentId39336" class="inline-image-global
inlined-image-cid-ebeadf6f-56e4-46b6-a97d-aa550e904cb1 myimg-responsive"
src="/g/foggers/attachment/19902/0" style="width:100%;
max-width:800px;">

Same question for the message if you received it in individual email.

I can't tell how the picture came through in my individual mail, as I can't
find any command that will let me examine the email. Window 10 Outlook

A couple of comments and a question:

Just looked at Admin - Promote. That looks beefed up since the last time I looked! Several ways to promote your group, including links on your website, and through social media. Thanks for reminding me, Bruce.

Find a Group page - you can tweak your profile that appears on this page through your group Settings, Description. The search here has improved, but I would dearly love a category setting. Or a hashtag for the group and then searchable?

BTW, it took a bit of time to find the Shal's new help group in the Find a Group page. I searched by the name search, selected G, then selected results page, clicking to get to page 9 in the G's. (I did skip ahead obviously since "gr" is further along in the alphabet!)

Shal, your two groups about groups - this is the first time I remember hearing about your other group, Group_Help. Is this a more appropriate spot to refer newbies or would-be's? My daughter belongs to a home schooling group in YahooGroups. They are looking for a new home.

Many thanks, Shal and everyone else who jumped in here.

I tried using my Groups.io groups using my iPhone 7 and Safari, and, voila!,?everything worked perfectly.? Not so much when I used Google Chrome, but my testing with Chrome may have been flawed.

Something I really like about Groups.io: almost every time I need something, it turns out that the developer team has been down that road before me and come up with a better solution that I've have imagined.? :-)? Like Christmas every day,? Bravo!

Thanks for the explanation about the DMARC issue. I will pass the info on to my member.

Don,

I have a member that ‘attached’ a picture to his email to the group,
and his picture is not stored in Emailed Photos.

Does the picture show in the group's Messages? As part of the message body or as an attachment?

Same question for the message if you received it in individual email.

There are several possibilities. Two of which involve the image being displayed as part of a formatted (HTML) message body. In the View source (aka Show Original) of the message these would be:

<img src="http:... Or https:...

These would be an image file fetched from a web site. The image file wasn't attached to the message, and would not appear in Emailed Photos. This form is often referred to as a "remote" image, and many email interfaces will defer loading them until you explicitly ask to show the image.

<img src="data:...

The image file is carried inline in the HTML of the message body. This is also technically not an attachment, but I think Groups.io ought to treat it as if it were.

I asked if they ‘embedded’ the picture, and they said no.

Well, members aren't always clear on what the terms mean, and the various email interfaces out there aren't often very clear on just how they will represent an image, whether placed by drag-n-drop, copy and paste, or with an Add Image dialog box can affect the representation, as can the source of the image (a file finder/explorer versus a web browser, for example).
