Is there a quick link to existing polls?

 

I see lots of discussions about polls, but here's something very basic I can't figure out.? I created a poll and it is in progress and working well.? The members comment that it is easy to use.? If I am on the homepage of the group I cannot find a direct link in the left column leading me to the poll.? There are links for files, databases, and creating a new poll, but I can't find one for an existing poll.? I know I can link to it via the message announcing its creation, just wondering if there's another link that I'm not seeing.

Thanks in advance!!!

Okay I did a test on my own and my conclusion on polls is as follows:
?
Beck wrote to this group GMF saying she couldn't see my poll therefore she couldn't vote. She is in my group. She didn't have posting privileges in the group. I had found that only members?who could send mail to the group were able to vote. So what I did was?change her status so she could post to the group...............?and wrote to her privately letting her know I changed her status and to try again to vote.
?
Well now that she can post to the group she was able to vote in the poll.?
?
So now I am thinking that this is a BUG.....
All members regardless of their posting privileges should?be able to vote in a poll.

I sent an email about a poll a while ago and didn't receive any answer.
?
I created a poll to a group where only a handful of members out of 703 members can post to the group.?
?
It seems the only members who were able to vote in the poll were the members who can post mail to the group. The others received messages back saying the poll was unavailable to them.
?
I went over the list of things they needed to do, like make sure they were signed in.
Only to receive a note from one member saying "I am NOT DUMB" I was signed in.
?
Now a?member rejoined because she accidently removed herself while trying to vote in the poll and before I could change her status so she can't post in the group, she voted.
?
So now I am beginning to think that only members who can write to the group can vote in polls. Ilene

Re: Owner not showing up on member list

 

I'll try "Infinite Scroll" for a while and see how it works.
I tried “infinite Scroll”, however there was something about it (I forget what) that did not apply universally as do all the finite choices. I now use "100 per page”.


Re: Why does OBO appear in posts?

 

Ken,

See examples below. Some come thru from IO as “On behalf of” and some
come thru with a different header.
The ones that come through as "Display name via Groups.io" are those whose address has been rewritten to work around DMARC. This affects Yahoo Mail, AOL, and certain other sending services.

The ones that come through as "[email protected] On Behalf Of Display name" I don't see in my email interfaces (Gmail on the web or in Thunderbird, or Gmail mobile). I'm going to guess that's how your email interface chooses to handle messages that are sent through a mailing list.

How to control how the header comes thru?
I don't believe you can for the via case. Maybe through settings in your email interface for the OBO case.

These could have been a carry-over from the transfer for those that had a setting of 'never moderated' (or whatever YG! calls it.)? These should have been there all along, but you may have never noticed them.? Since your group wasn't previously moderated, it wouldn't have made any difference in the posting procedures.

If these were actually changed from M to P when you put the group on moderation, that would definitely be a bug to report to support.

Duane, are you sure you understood my question? Or maybe I didn?t express it well enough ….

?

Members that always require approval will have a blue M (setting of Override: moderated.)? Those with the blue P will always be able to post (setting of Override: not moderated).? Because of special situations that may arise, such as yours, it's usually not a good idea to use the P setting.? These settings are in effect regardless of group settings.

Re: Removed because of spam report

 

Thanks for testing Bruce,
After we transfer our main membership next week I'll sure that I will be able to see if we have to manually add people back to subgroups because I know that no matter how many times we tell people not to mark as spam, they will.

I agree that subgroups are sometimes complicated, but if I didn't use them I would end up with more than 40 groups to maintain. This way I have 1 group with 39+ subgroups to maintain.? I' d like it even better if subgroups could have subgroups, and all of them could inherit properties from the parent.? Oh well, I'm in the minority usually anyway.
Thanks again
Beth

Shal, you wrote:

Members copied over during a Y!Group transfer retain the Posting Privileges they had there (along with their Email Delivery setting and join date). So it is possible that those particular members were also Unmoderated in the Y!Group.

?

o.k. but this in my opinion does not explain the following setting:

- three or four members were moderated – no matter if still remainings of the old yahoo group or newly moderated

- for special reasons I set the whole group on moderated so that each incoming post would have to be accepted individually

- In this case the three or four moderated members all of a sudden were the only ones who could post (having the little blue P next to their name),

?

Does this mean putting everybody on moderated overrides the members who were originally moderated? Not having been aware of this fact the contrary of what I intended took place: Everybodys post had to be individually accepted exept the ones of the moderated members.


Is this logical (algorithmwise)? Or is it a bug?

Now of course I corrected this with your help (smile).

Why does OBO appear in posts?

 

See examples below. ?Some come thru from IO as “On behalf of” and some come thru with a different header.?
Questions:
Why?
How to control how the header comes thru?
The signature should have been automatically added on the msg posted via email, but wasn’t. Why??


Re: Owner not showing up on member list

 

Duane, thanks for the suggestion :) .? I'll try "Infinite Scroll" for a while and see how it works.? The multi-page thing has caught a few members already who failed to scroll down to the very bottom.? I must say that there's something about the layout of the page that tricks my brain into thinking the list is complete.? It will just take some getting used to, but we'll get there!
Thanks!


Re: Attached Picture Not In Emailed Photos.

 

Lily et al --

Mark has informed me that he has fixed the bug; the Emailed Photos folder is no longer hidden if you have set Attachments to Moderate.

Be advised that you can still delete any residual, unwanted attachments by selecting the Edit Message option under the More menu.

Bruce?

Re: Posts passing without being approved

 

Victoria,


But I noticed that the few members concerned were at times moderated in the old yahoo group. Could that be the reason?
?
Yes.

Members copied over during a Y!Group transfer retain the Posting Privileges they had there (along with their Email Delivery setting and join date). So it is possible that those particular members were also Unmoderated in the Y!Group.

Do you have more than a single owner?

If there are co-owners or moderators, you will not be notified when they approve a post...

Yes, I do. But the problem was indeed the overriding moderation (P) of some members as Shal supposed. Approval of posts shows up in “activities”, as I noticed.

Re: Importing a csv list

 

Peter,


A further question: does the Y! Group from which the transfer has taken place retain the data until it is closed/deleted? ?

Yes. The transfer agent copies data only, nothing in the Y!Group is altered.

If you want to close, moderate, or otherwise change the Y!Group you have to do that manually. See also the Afterward section of GMF's wiki page about Y!Group transfers.

In your particular case, you might want to change your Preferences under your Account to show 50 Items Per Page.? (This effects messages, databases, etc.)? It may again become a 'problem' when you have 51 members, but hopefully by then you'll be quite familiar with Groups.io. ;>)

Re: Importing a csv list

 

Any information requested in the transfer is copied from the YG!, nothing is actually touched.? What, if anything, happens to the original information is up to the YG! owner.

Shal,

I did indeed find only a few members with that P and changed it.

?

How can this happen?

?

Or, you may have one or more thread with a hashtag carrying the Replies Unmoderated option

?

We do not work with hashtags, so this cannot be the reason.

But I noticed that the few members concerned were at times moderated in the old yahoo group. Could that be the reason?

Thanks anyway

Re: Polls

Yes, I know that NEW POLLS?used to be buried within new topic.
This poll was set up after?Mark had made the change to move the New Poll to it's own spot on the left side of the menu.
?
Only the members whose settings are?set so they can post to the group?were the only?members who?were able to?vote in the poll.?
?
I haven't closed the poll yet.? I have checked the member permissions and the only members who were able to vote are the members who can send mail to the group.
?
Now Beck is in my group and she just answered email right before you did Bruce.
She said she couldn't find the poll.
Now if I change her settings so she can post to the group, she will be able to vote in the poll.

"New Poll" used to be buried within "New Topic"...you had to click "New Topic" first and from the resulting screen click on the "New Poll" button. Although Mark has very recently moved it back out to its own left-side menu item it's likely that the two still share the same member permissions.
