Does anyone know, on average, how long it takes for groups.io to respond to a support request? I would like to set expectations for the rest of the members in my group.

David -- Is this what you are trying to achieve?

/g/TekScopes/files/7854/7854%20Initial%20Display%20Problem.MOV?

In the online message editor, groups.io "linkifies" the pasted string as soon as I enter a whitespace character (space or carriage return) after the final V. You can also highlight the text, click the "Insert/Edit Link" button on the menu bar, and edit the URL as needed.

If trying to do this via email, I suspect it might depend on the behavior of the client you are using, and whether it recognizes Apple MOV files as a valid file extension.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I looked at the beta thread mentioned earlier but apparently can't post to that group.? Can someone tell me what (Chrome) App was being suggested to grab the membership list of a Yahoo group and where that app is available?

Thank you.

So, um, now what?

If you add or invite members, as long as they use the same email address they did on YG, their content should be linked to them if/when the transfer can be made.? If they use a different address here, all of their content would transfer, but tied to the old address.

Interesting. Is the link to this MOV file actually broken, or is it an aesthetic problem?

Angle brackets are used a lot in html tags, and are best avoided when typing message text. I have also found that I have to type some whitespace after a URL before the groups.io editor will "linkify" it.

Try posting this again without the angle brackets and see if that helps.

That's sort of an amusing question, as by definition a transfer cannot be made to a group that does not exist.

What happens is that all the transferred Y!G messages are appended, in order, to any previously posted material that may appear in your groups.io group. So the message numbers will be out of sequence at the point the transfer occurred. Since most people actually read messages and topics in chronological order anyway, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Also, Frances, you mentioned that this has happened before. Any sense of how long it took to get the transfer process ironed out?

Transfers crashed on Dec 16, due to a change in the Y!G login system. The problem was resolved on Jan 10 only to crash and burn due to a change in the Y!G member export 15 days later. Draw your own conclusions, but there is no timetable on when -- or even if -- Yahoo transfers might come back online again.

Bruce

For some reason, the html editor for the home page in Settings does not behave the same way as the one in the message editor, and in fact is so misbehaved as to be almost unusable. You might be better served working with the raw html. To do so, click the "hamburger" icon at far right to open the advanced toolbar, then the angle brackets at far right to pop up the html in a dialog box.

Even then, you may have to insert some whitespace into it to get it readable enough to work with. Note also that a lot of constructs will still be stripped when you save. Javascript and iframes, for example, cannot be placed in your home page. The conjecture is that they could serve as a vector for malware, but I've seen a lot of totally benign inline styles like "float:right" get stripped, too.

Good luck,
Bruce

Hi

Here's a thread on Beta including the recent announcement. Some tips.


I transferred a couple of years ago. Not sure of dates it went down. Sorry.

Much appreciated . . . To know that members can reply to such Hashtags. That just wasn't specifically address in the help section.

See the Wiki at /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Deleting%20attachments,%20files%20and%20photos for an explanation of the options.

If you have the correct level of access you could also change the group settings to delete old attachments rather than bounce messages.? Look in Admin > Settings and then the end of the Message Policies section.

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.

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.

This 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.

Just joined io, was excited to move a 250-member group here after reading rave reviews. Announced to group that we were moving. Then went to "Easy Group Transfer" to find this message:

Yahoo has made a change to their login system that is preventing us from exporting groups. We are looking for a workaround. Until one is found, we are unable transfer any groups.

So, um, now what?

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.?

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.
