?How can we delete attachment storage to keep from bouncing ,
Have a look at this page in the GMF wiki: Deleting attachments, files and photos. However it would seem that this method only works for group Owners, and cannot be used by Moderators because they cannot access the Upgrade Tab under Admin.
Assuming that you are a Moderator, select the Photos Tab from the Menu on the left hand side of the web UI. Then select Emailed Photos, which will be the first Album on the resultant page. Click on each photo in turn; under each one you will find a number of options, the first of which is Message. Clicking on that will take you to the message that posted the photo; if you decide that it is not worth keeping them using the More option under the message select Delete Message; this will also remove the Photo from the archive. You can also delete the photo direct from the album should you so choose; Delete is another of the tabs under the photo. I know deleting the message sends a notification to its originator; at the moment I don't know if simply deleting the photo does as well.
Overall it will prove rather laborious.
Before doing any of that it will be worth checking your Files section, and all the other Photos in the archive because all three categories add to the material stored so it may be that Attachments are taking up only a small proportion of the total, and that the real problem lies with Files and Photos that are not serving any useful purpose. It may be that careful deletion of those might solve your problem, at least in the short term.

Re: Announced to Yahoo group we were moving, then saw that Yahoo is preventing transfers. Now what?
#transfer
#yahoo
What I did was send invites to the members of the Y Group to the new IO group.
?
But first sent the Y Group an email letting them know this was going to happen.
?
The only other option would be get a premium membership in IO Groups and then you can add your members to the new group manually.
?
Or you always have the option to wait until a work around has been found. Ilene?

Hello
This must be so incredibly easy that only I have problems, I see no guidance in the help page.
I am trying to get sections of headers followed by bullet points, then the same in the next section, as in https://highlandpeerpaddlergroup.groups.io/g/main.
I have actually done it, so it must be possible, but I do it by copying to Word then copying back. Word shows soft carriage returns between the lines, which I change to hard carriage returns before copying back.
If I try and do it direct in the editing box, the last item in the previous list picks up the formatting of the text I have selected, as does?all following text. I cannot apply bullet points to the selected text only.
I seem not to be able to apply any specific formatting to the selected text in fact. Perhaps it is not carriage returns, but an "apply" button that I have not spotted.?
CR, Control-CR and Shift-CR all seem to produce soft carriage returns.
I will get there, but I could do with speeding up my editing.

Yes, Susie. This just happened after Mark fixed it the last time Yahoo did this. You could wait. Or you could start your group in Groups.io without a migration. It really depends on how important the message archive on YahooGroups is to you. If you started a new group, you can do a 1-month premium subscription so that you can invite all of your members. /static/pricingThis would allow you to directly add members, rather than just invite members. I am not sure about whether you are able to export your message archive from Yahoo yourself. Then import it in some way (files, database, wiki) to Groups.io Not as easy as the transfer. Frances --

If a Moderator initiates a topic using a restricted hashtag, anyone can subsequently reply to it, as long as that second box is unchecked. This applies both by email and online.? See also? /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/29550666#14552? ? Regards, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.?? /static/help

Mornin' All,
I've read thru the Help Section on Hashtags and a couple things are unclear to me:
If a Hashtag is set under the 'Reply to' section to 'Use by Mods Only' (Only moderators can tag topics with this hashtag), BUT the subordinate box for 'Replies by Mods Only' is NOT checked, then does that still allow Members to respond online to a particular post even when its Hashtag is set to 'Use by Mods Only'?
It would be useful to understand whether when Mods only can set/create certain Hashtags then Members can still reply to those so-tagged posts.
There's nothing about this mentioned in the Help section under Hashtags insofar as I can tell.
Cheers!
Paul M.

Re: Interesting... or not?
...and for further information I have another support ticket raised with Mark (8261) as the notification email that is supposed to be sent when group storage limits are reached does not seem to be working.

Sorry for the long quote, but IMHO that is a much more secure way of doing things. Joel: The one thing that must be avoided is having an "unknown" quantity (person) having access (either deliberately or by subterfuge) as an Owner because a "rogue owner" can wreak havoc, including removing (co)owner status from a proper one. (For the record having more than one Owner is strongly recommended!) Chris

Joel and Chris, Here is what I was thinking, based on a club group I have.? The main group would be for all members.? Subgroups would be for board, special events organizers, or any other 'special' groups. In our club, only the club secretary uses the club email address.? (The club president and vice-president have access for backup, but I don't remember them ever using it.)? That email address is an owner of the group and can make changes, but could be restricted as a Moderator to only perform certain functions.?

Chris: I think I understand what you are saying however, only certain board/trustees would have change abilities. The general membership would have only post and view abilities. Also each member board or membership would login under their email. The club email would be maybe two each board and trustee members and then only certain things. If possible.

Joel; perhaps so, but the question remains how many people have legitimate access to the club email address? Are you intending that the club email address has "ownership" of the Group? If so then anyone with legitimate access to that address will be able to change settings at will without leaving a clear audit trail in the activity log; yes, changes will be logged but there will be no way of determining who was responsible.
The existence of a board and trustees is a bit of a side issue because their existence does not preclude the possibility of mischievous interference by others who are able to access the Group via a common address. The ability to change group settings has to be granted to as few people as are necessary to ensure the smooth working of the group. I'm far from convinced that have "the club address" (your words) usable as a log - in at the Owner level is a good idea; IMHO it leaves your group open to interference without actually achieving anything substantive.
It is also far better if those who can legitimately change settings, i.e. "manage" the group, can log in from different email addresses - if that is not the case then any trouble with the "single" email address could compromise the group completely.

I may have misunderstood the requirement but as I read it anyone could then gain access to the Group(s) as long as they had access to the club address.
For my money a "registered address" (and thus the log in) should only be applicable to one person, not many.
Sounds extremely dodgy to me...
