I have settings set to "moderate all".It is possible to allow messages posted to the group by select individuals to be unmoderated, despite the group settings. Open the members list (Admin>Members), find and click open the desired subscriber record. Scroll all the way down to "Posting Privileges" and click the "Override: Not Moderated" radio button. Then click Save at the bottom. Having done this, that subscriber will now display a blue "P" (Can Post) badge in the members list. Repeat for anyone else you want to give this privilege to.

Re: Question re Subgroup membership
Members can make email settings for each group and subgroup, so you could do what you want to a point.? On groups with No Email disabled, they could set it to Special Notices, but it would be up to you and other owners to minimize those.? You could set up some defaults to try to do what you want for new members, but it won't effect existing members.? For existing members, you or they would need to make the changes.

If you are using a web form to collect information you can post an email from the subscriber's address to the group subscription address. Here is a script that I have tested and does work: /* <?php

if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))? {
? $from = $_REQUEST['email'];
? mail("[email protected]", "New subscription", "subscribe", "From: " . $from );

*/ The subscriber will still have to separately respond to a confirmation email, to be sure they can receive groups.io messages. Something similar could be done when they unsubscribe. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: Cancel Yahoo Transter
Richard,
But, I don't know how to cancel the previously requestedYou may not need to cancel it, if you hadn't yet given the final Go-Ahead for the transfer. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Step-4-E28094-Give-the-Go-Ahead-for-the-Transfer If you have already done that I imagine that the transfer agent may well contact you before proceeding, once it is again possible to proceed.

Re: Cancel Yahoo Transter
Hmm, not having the transfer page available does present a problem there.? Your best bet would be to contact support.? Your transfer may not get done anyway, but better to be safe.

Re: Account Info
#bouncedemails
Wes,
My question is, is there a way to delete years old mails ECT from theIf you're a group member, and you're talking about postings in the group's Messages section on the web, no. That's not a personal inbox, it is an archive shared by all the group members. Technically you can delete your own messages from the group archive, and a group moderator can delete any message, but normally they are kept indefinitely, for reference by current and future members. On the other hand, if you're receiving group postings via email, you can certainly delete those any time you like. The method would depend on your email interface.

Re: Finding the Mute and Follow controls on mobile
Frances,
- You must get the full list of all topics for all of your groups. YouThis is the same as on computer: the buttons for Follow and Mute only appear on topics when you open them from the combined lists on the Groups.io home page, not when you open them from the Messages section of a specific group. (Unless you use Toby's hack to make the topic display think it came from the all-groups listing). Why it is that way I'm not sure, other than I suspect some group managers thought that the buttons would be too confusing for their members. I think I would have put the function in the More menu instead of a buttons at the top, but I think the all-groups pages were done before there was a More menu in the bar under each message. - You must open the topic of interest from this full list of all postsI'm not sure if this is saying the same thing as before, or if you're making a distinction that I'm not getting. This is different from on a computer where you get a left hand columnOn mobile (actually it is when the display is narrow, regardless of device type) the left bar moves down to the bottom. There's only room for a couple of buttons so a couple are displayed and the rest go into a "More" menu (three bars, the so-called "hamburger" icon). Do you think it works the same for Androids?The screenshots I posted were from Android. In particular the chrome-lite browser built into the Gmail app. i just tested with an iPad and it works like a computer, no matterI believe it is all based on how wide Groups.io's code thinks the screen is. If you open the site on a computer and shrink the browser window it starts reformatting itself and eventually appears just like it does on a smartphone in vertical orientation. So, I'd have to guess that the code judges your iPad's screen to be "wide enough" for the computer layout, regardless of orientation.

Re: Finding the Mute and Follow controls on mobile
Thanks, with the help of Duane, I found it.
?
I think we should put some of the idiosyncratic bits about using mobile devices in the Wiki. ?The Help does not address this. There is no sidebar (left menu) on my iPhone when I open my subscriptions.
?
I would add:?
- You must get the full list of all topics for all of your groups. You can¡¯t choose a specific group from the Your Groups (previous) screen
- You must open the topic of interest from this full list of all posts from all your groups. This is different from on a computer where you get a left hand column (sidebar).
?
(Please feel free to reword! Perhaps the first point isn¡¯t necessary?)
?
Do you think it works the same for Androids? ?i just tested with an iPad and it works like a computer, no matter which orientation you hold the iPad.

Re: questions on hashtags
Locked means just that. The topic can no longer be replied to. As for deleted I don't really know as I have not had to remove a topic, but if I did I would assume it is gone from the archive. On 30 Dec 2018, at 9:55, Jonathan Sivier wrote:
