Re: how to undo accidental merge
Marina, I've been able to split out a message in the middle of a topic using just those same steps that Brian mentioned.
Granted the Merge portion of the sequence is a bit less than intuitive but it starts making more sense after you've practiced doing it a few times. Don't worry, you'll figure it out! OK ¡ª HTH Paul M. CostaRicaLiving ¨C Moderator /g/CostaRicaLiving == |

Marina,
? ? ? ? ? I have never worked with forums software (and that's the side we're talking about here) that has an UNDO function.? ?But what I do work with routinely is software that allows you to split a single message or selected group of messages out of a topic from anywhere in that topic other than the first message [in which case you just split off messages 2 through the end]. ? ? ? ? ? I am almost positive that this ability has been asked for on the beta group in the past.? It might make sense to bring it up again.?

Re: Deleting photo storage
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAnother question about deleting photos.. ?I¡¯ve just deleted close to 100 and found that each time I opened a photo to delete it, the NEXT one opened instead, and I have to click the white Back arrow to get to the correct one. It is bad enough to have to do them one at a time, but having to click again to get the right one, is a real pain. Any way to stop this and have the right photo open up straight away? I really detest those Incredimail animations which get saved !! Cheers Win ? -----Original Message----- ?

Calendar - notification of cancellations
Carmel Palanos
Hello all,
I am setting up our group's calendar for the coming school year. I have been setting up the dates without notifying the group, as I have several classes to enter and don't want to be spamming everyone - I will just send out one notice so that people go look at at the calendar when it's all organized.? In order to enter classes that repeat throughout the year (every Friday, for example), I have just given it the date range (for example, Aug 30 2019 through April 15 2020). However, in order to account for holidays during that period, I then have to go back through the calendar and cancel the dates that classes won't occur due to holidays (eg, Dec 20 2019, Dec 27 2019). BUT - when I do this, the cancellation notice gets sent out to the entire group, causing mass confusion and panic! How can I do these cancellations without notifying the group? I can't seem to find a setting that allows this. Any help would be appreciated, whether it's for cancelling without general notification, or a way to set up the year's worth of dates by picking and choosing at date entry. |

I've been searching all over and can't find an answer to my question....how do I delete all of the photos that have been stored in the photos section? They're ones that get uploaded automatically from members' emails sent to the group. I have well over 11,000 of them and I do NOT want to have to go through them one by one to delete.
Thanks for any help!!

Then I merge that single message topic into the one where it belongs.?Thank you, Brian. Unfortunately, the process is a bit tortuous. I have tried to follow your auggestions but it ended up in a mess :-(( (my fault not yours) The easiest thing, I guess, is to delete the wrongly merged message and ask the sender to send it again. I wish there were an "undo action" tab in Groups.io, though. Have a nice day, Marina |

Want to customize an invite message to new members, but it seems toWhat Duane said.

You can only add to the default message, not delete any of it.

Re: Test Groups
Marcio,
Looking briefly in the group I saw what I'll call a WordpressIt is an iframe element that I pasted into the Source Code view of the Description edit box. I think that iframe code was copied from somewhere on Wordpress, equivalent to Groups.io's Promote page, where they give you sample code to paste into other web pages. I'm a bit vague on this because I did it a long time ago, and a coworker of mine gave me the code (he admins the Wordpress blog). In retrospect I'm a bit surprised that worked. I thought iframes were among the things that get stripped by the editor. But maybe not for Descriptions, or maybe not back when I did that.

Re: Test Groups
Marcio
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýShal,no content there is "sacred". If an experiment destroys the content, or even the whole group, no real harm done. If necessary, I'll just create ShalsTest2.It's really good to know it. for now, I'm being just a beholder. But it's indeed nice to know that we could experiment with "no real harm done". Although this is a test group, I was a bit afraid of doing something wrong, if I ever need to test something. Looking briefly in the group I saw what I'll call a Wordpress integration, showing a few posts of a blog. I don't know where to look to know how it's done so if I may ask, how it can be done?

You might ask them why they've set them this way, if that's what has happened. Be careful marking things as junk.? On some email services that equates to marking them as spam and could get you unsubscribed.? I don't believe it applies within some clients, such as Thunderbird, but is not a good habit to get into.

I am a subscriber on another list where meetings etc. are regularly noted in the calendar.
I'm NOT a manager of that list. I don't want those messages; I live too far away from the "HQ" I have muted #cal-notice and #cal-reminder on that list, but the messages keep coming. Why, and what can I do about it as a subscriber? As per now, they are considered junk in my mail client... Thomas |

For example I didn't know about Test Groups.? I still don't know what the difference is.The only difference is what you call it and what you use it for; a Test Group is simply a Group set up - almost certainly with only a handful of members - with the purpose of "playing" with Groups.io's capabilities to investigate how things work and sometimes don't. A group set up for test purposes has exactly the same functionality as a "working" group. It is somewhere its members can try things without disrupting a working group, usually so that whatever is learnt / discovered can be used for the better running of a proper group. I hope that makes sense... Chris |
