Re: Is there a quick link to existing polls?
Your poll must be working well because all of the members have posting privileges in the group.
?
Go to the Homepage of the group.
?
Scroll down to the bottom and you will see #poll
Click on that and it will take you to the poll.

Subject: [GMF] 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!!!

I own a group sharing my email stationary, signature tag offers and Paintshop Pro tutorials. I am the only one posting, but would like all members to be able to take part in polls.

Okay you?said you won't want to join a group where you couldn't post.
Let me explain about this group. We are a group of over 700 members.
?
This?group is a Signature?Tag group. Members join to get?signature tags that they can use in their email that are personalized with their name.?
?
The members who offer these tags for free are the only ones who are allowed to post to the group. They put up tag offers where the members then reply (replies go to the sender) and they request the tag to have their name added to it.
?
So there isn't any reason for all the members being able?to post to the group.?
?
But in the case of the poll, it involved all the members feedback.
I started playing games for tags in the group. Most members when playing the game enjoyed them but I wanted to find out if the majority of the members wanted the games to continue. That was the reason for needing the feedback from the members in the poll. I didn't need all the extra mail coming from them telling me their thoughts and how they couldn't vote.

Re: Posts passing without being approved
Duane, ? I will check this again and then see if it?s maybe my fault of mixing up terminology. Thanks anyway Victoria

I will send a report to support.
I didn't know?a poll?was considered a?message. ?
But I do think all should be able to vote.
I am glad that I had this poll in this group to notice this.

Re: Owner not showing up on member list
Michael,
You're right..."infinite?scroll" does not work on databases.? We have a database with 38 rows that displayed on 2 pages with "infinite scroll" setting.? Switched to "100 per page" and now on one page.? Thanks again for the tip on finding that option!

Re: Is there a quick link to existing polls?
The quickest way I've found is to select Hashtags on the left menu, then choose the #Poll tag.? That will get a list of all of them and you can choose the one you want from there.? If you have very many, using a direct link/bookmark would be faster.

Re: Is there a quick link to existing polls?
I agree it isn't obvious! Click on Messages or Topics just beside the search box. Polls is an item in the dropdown menu. Frances

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.

Subject: [GMF] Polls
?
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. Shal -- Help: /static/helpMore Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wikiEven More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list

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.

Re: Posts passing without being approved
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

Re: Posts passing without being approved
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 ¨C 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). Victoria ? ?

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??
