Couple of Questions

kaiala{T}
 

?
I hope I am not asking for too much help.
I have never had a group in .IO before.
I was given at least temporary ownership of six IO groups while the original owner is having eye surgery and then recovering. Then she might be coming back.
Anyways, I'm trying to hopefuly make these groups bigger and better.
?
I need to be able to post a letter to each group as owner explaining what is and is not to be posted in the groups. They are all Incredimail Stat Groups btw.
?
I wondered if there is a place in Admin or whatever, to type it so either it gets sent out regularly or I can just push a button to send it and don't have to retype it every time.
?
On of my groups is a theme collections group and I don't know how to make the themes for the month print at the bottoms of posts that go through the group automatically. The owner previously did, and I can't ask her.
?
That's all I can think of at the moment.
?
I also need to advertise the groups to attempt to get more members but I think I just try to join one of the advertising groups and that's it.
?
I'm still trying to find a place to learn what all the places are on the group admin pages and all is. Sorry, I don't mean to wear my welcome out here.
?
Sure wish there was a list 1, 2, 3 and so on of what a newbie making a group needs to know to understand all this.
?
Sorry, don't mean to ramble.
?
Thank you for any help,
?

Re: UNABLE TO EDIT FILES ON THE IO FILE PAGE #howto

 

Yes, for sure.
Re: UNABLE TO EDIT FILES ON THE IO FILE PAGE #howto

 

Forgive me if this was obvious or already said, but of course the only files that could be edited right on the site would be straight text files, just as was the case on yahoo groups.

Also, if you change the file name under "File Properties", that may cause some havoc. I seem to recall I did that once and the site couldn't find the file anymore.

getting a undeliverable report

 

Hi all

I had to go in to the site and go under pending members and approve them that way

Is this a groups io thing or my server issue?

It is the first time it happens and other people are joining and I am not getting that notice just for that one person

Sorry just wanting to know.

Thanks for the patience.

It looks like Mark has a work-around, so you shouldn't see this any more,

Re: e-mail and ip addresses

 

Re: "?is there a way to see where the message was from"?
When viewing on the web, no, the sender's email is not displayed.
In the message received in your email client though, the sender's email is included in the From: field of the message.? Your post has your yahoo email address in it, for example.
As far as the IP address and the route the email took to get to you, you might be able to view what you're looking for in the source/original text of the email.? In Gmail, the option on the message is "Show Original".? ??
Your post shows this field:
X-Received: from 103.217.167.128 (EHLO MARVINPC) ([103.217.167.128])
? ? ? ? ? by smtp428.mail.bf1.yahoo.com (Oath Hermes SMTP Server) with ESMTPA ID 41e913a3439221b31a064581d53190b7

Can members of a group upload files?

 

Hi,

I notice that I, as the group owner, can upload files to the group. How do I permit others to upload files to my group?

e-mail and ip addresses

Marvin Hunkin
 

Hi. was wondering. In google chrome if you press shift f 10 or the applications key and then arrow down to page source. Then it loads in ?I think or notepad ++. Could not find the person say in a message on a thread in groups.io. is there a way to see where the message was from, their e-mail, and their ip address.

Thanks.

Not necessarily exactly but have a read of this:: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Removed-for-spam.

It is not "copyright" of the GMF so feel free to copy it into your own wiki so that your members can be pointed to it. As an alternative you can just point them at the link as the GMF wiki is publicly accessible anyway.

Subscriber was removed for marking a message as spam

David Haun
 

Hi, I am getting messages that "Subscriber was removed for marking a message as spam."? The member was notified they were removed, can re-join, they asked me why.? Since it hasn't happened to me, does anyone know exactly what the member did when "marking a message as spam" and what they can do to prevent it from happening again?? Thanks, David

Thanks for that reply, Duane. Good to know that this was already suggested to Beta some time back.

Re: Turn off Database Map or default to List #database

 

Hi Duane,
There IS a toggle, but it's NOT sticky - therein be the problem.
Several of the groups I run are Premium and the map is included there. Any time you engage the "address" for the field type, you're stuck with the map as default and it's causing a ruckus. We need to collect addresses for things other than actually "getting there", but defaulting to the map every time someone opens the database renders it useless for us. I changed the field to "paragraph" to get out of it, but still...

Think I'll rattle Mark's cage.
Thanks!
Ginny

Partly because there are easy ways to replace the file, and also because there are so many file types that it might be impossible.? For something that gets changed often, it might be worthwhile to try using a Wiki page.? That would be easily edited.? You could set it so that only moderators could make changes, if needed.? Unfortunately, there's currently not a setting for "owner or moderator only" on Wiki pages like there is for a database.

Re: UNABLE TO EDIT FILES ON THE IO FILE PAGE #howto

 

Hello again All.

I'd like to slightly update my original post starting this topic.

My original concern was that it is no way to simply edit the TEXT of an existing file in the Files Section of my IO group, which USED TO BE doable on Y!Groups.

Peter Cook's suggestions for several icon changes are very good but it would be helpful to also include an option/icon for 'Edit File Text' to make it simpler for a moderator/owner (or the poster of a file) to make a minor change to an existing file's text without having to wade through a clumsy 'delete/post new file' sequence.

This would prove a particularly valuable option if there were only a typo or other mininal change to be made to a particular file/document.

If we are able to arrive at a suitable concensus for what might be the best change(s) for such file editing options athat point they should then be presented to the Beta Group.

Comments? Suggestions?

OK ¡ª HTH
