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.
?

I tried to day to import a CSV file table into my database section but failed. I followed the instructions but not happened, it did not import. The CSV file contains a few hyperlinks to external web pages that I own.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 |
