Hi Shal,
Do you insert the "[excess quote trimmed by moderator]" manually? I
noticed that you use the Preformatted markup tag. I really like your
method.
I also clean up messages before approving/publishing. Those who trim
their quotes get unmoderated. Everyone else goes to the moderation
queue.

I have a question about hashtags that was not addressed in the groups.io FAQ. Is it possible to make it so that only moderators can populate the names of the available hashtags, i.e. users/members can only use a hashtag that has already been made available by the moderators or they have to ask a moderator to make a new hashtag? I would like to limit the number of hashtags to a manageable and easily identifiable group of available hashtags. ?One of my concerns is that if users can make up their own hashtags there will be literally hundreds of misspelled, unintelligible, or just plain useless hashtags cluttering up an otherwise very valuable tool; ?at some point having an overabundance of hashtags will make hashtags more of an annoyance than the useful tool that it promises to be.

Also, posts are automatically transferred during the "easy transfer" procedure.

Hi Shal and all -
I figured I should join this group on 'the other side' as you referred to it. I'd like to see how the experiments go here. I'm not having much luck getting members to test the groups I've set up so far.
I'm a little concerned with the news coming out about Yahoo's future. I have a couple groups over there with extensive archives, and I think IO is in pretty good shape for what we really need. It would be nice to have the links, but if we can bring over the message archives through the transfer process, that would be the most critical. One think I hadn't thought of previously is the space available for messages. One group goes back to the days of onelist back in 1998. I'd hate to lose some of the archives because we exceeded storage space immediately. I can't find the space the message archives currently take up om Yahoo, but we've just passed 8500 messages.
That's enough noise for for now. Thanks!

Re: Group . IO front page
Donna,
I didn't ask any question about photo constraints, so I don't know what this is about. I've been happy with my cover photos on all of my Groups.io groups so far. Thanks.

There does not seem to be any constraints to the photo that you can have on your group's home page.? It doesn't necessarily have to be shaped like the cover photos that are on Yahoo Groups.? Take a look at my group:? /g/Artists_Cafe?

Re: Group . IO front page
I personally think 's cover photo is more equivalent to YG's 'title photo,' because that's the at the top. The home page photo on YG is halfway down the page. But it doesn't really matter! You can have a photo!

Could there be some confusion here between Yahoo's "title page photo" and "home page photo"? Yahoo has both. I think Groups.io just has the equivalent of Yahoo's title page photo. I guess you could call that a cover photo.

Vickie, > I searched some of the groups listed and none had front page photos. > Perhaps it was just those I clicked on had no photos There may be some confusion over terminology. All Groups.io groups come with a default black-and-white cover photo of some elephants on the open plain. You see that on Beta, for example. So I'm confused over what you mean by groups that had no photos. Here in GMF I replaced it with a photo I took of some elephants. You can upload your own in the "Cover Photo" tab of the settings page. Like the "cover image" on Yahoo groups, it is at the top and banner-shaped. Unlike Yahoo groups it doesn't head every page of your group, only the home page. Also unlike Yahoo Groups, it doesn't get all weird if your photo isn't banner-shaped. > I would love to see the front page of any group with it's group front > page photo..
