Re: HTML links with thumbnail preview? #howto

 

Joel -- Ah, a fellow stargazer! And only one state over, too.

A clickable image is a construct often abused by spammers. You could try to send this to the group via email instead of using the online message editor. I've occasionally seen emails get forwarded with things that the editor strips. No guarantees.

Good luck,
Bruce Bowman,


Re: after almost 24 hours, [email protected] isn't a member of my Yahoo group

 

Rhoda, don't forget that you can check the status of the transfer.

From the FAQ -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups

11. How do I check the transfer status?
?
Tansfer requests are sorted by when the go ahead is given to transfer the group.

When you click on the green "Set Up New Transfer" button at bottom left of the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer), a new page will come up where you can enter the source and destination group names.?
?
There is also a series of checkboxes for the various areas of the group to transfer (files, photos, members, messages, etc). Simply uncheck the ones you don't want before clicking the "Start New Transfer Process" button.
?
If you've already started a transfer, return to the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer), select the transfer you've already started from the "Existing Transfers" list (pull down the menu and click on its name). On the resulting page you will see the same series of checkboxes. Uncheck the ones you don't want and then click the "Update Transfer" button. Actual transfer status for any ongoing transfer can be found in the status box at the top of the page.
?

You need a plain text file with the correct information to create invitations.? Anything else will likely result in an error for all of them.? Once you've sent the invitations, you can look at the list to see what the status of them is (sent or accepted).

Re: Importing a CSV FIle into the Database #database

Peter -- You can't create a table by importing a CSV. Groups.io has to first know what data type each column is. Create the database table first, taking care to include all columns, and make sure to get all the data types right. If everything is set up correctly you can then import the CSV using the "import rows" function.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Moderators;

I still have this issue!
I'm stuck and can't start my groups transfer until I'm able to find [email protected] as a member of my Yahoo group to make a moderator.
Please help me resolve this issue as time is running out and support is not helping.
They just told me they are overwhelmed and to seek help from this forum.

Sincerely;

Ruth -- If you haven't read the instructions and notes found at?/yahootransfer, you should.

In this case, yes, you could upgrade your group first...but in general, doing things out of order is the best way to get your transfer hung up.

I believe you can do this at any time before you get to the step where you click the "Give Go Ahead for Transfer" button.

Be sure to click on the "Update Transfer" button when done.

A lot of html code is disabled to prevent things like phishing or redirecting.? A link to the site is the best you can hope for.

Ruth -- Well, there is, if you use a desktop/laptop computer (which you really should consider doing).


Otherwise, you'll find Easy Group Transfer (and a lot of other stuff, too) hidden under the More "hamburger" menu.

So I clicked on "Create a Group" at the top of the page and created my new group.
Now what? do I continue with "Upgrade to Premium"?
Yes, that's the next step. You must upgrade to Premium Yearly. Browse to Admin>Upgrade and click on the blue "View/Change Plan" Button.

I stumbled on the answer today as I was editing them. Turns out that as soon as I edit a page, it shows upmas a blue link. It will revert to gray as soon as I visit the edited page.?

HTML links with thumbnail preview? #howto

Joel Short
 

Hello,
I've just joined groups.io and love it so far.? One thing I'd like to be able to do is to use an HTML link to an outside website with a thumbnail preview in the message.? Something like this:

<a href=""><img src=""></a>

Which obviously doesn't work.? Is it possible to do this?

Nothing is changed on the YG.? Transfer copies the information needed.
