I could easily rejoin the groups, but in some cases, I am the only owner.

The system is set up so that there must be at least one owner of a group, so there's an email address/account that is owner of those groups, but it's not yours.? I think your best hope is to contact support with as many details as you can furnish.? It sounds like something is 'scrambled' and they'd be the only ones that could fix it.

Yes, if she's not a member of the group, she won't see some of the group information.? If your group archives are public, she can read them, but not reply.? I think making her a member of the group with the email address she's using should 'fix' things.

Mark just posted on beta that all transfers are completed up through this morning, Pacific time,

If you think you've requested a transfer and it's not complete, there's a problem with it.? Go through the Detailed Instructions to find out where you're at, /g/GroupManagersForum/message/23597

Bruce,
I checked all this with the applicant by telephone and tried to do it together. Yes, she did have a different yahoo-email adress before, but I removed this identity of her from the list. So she isn?t a member under the old address any more. Can this nevertheless still play a role even though she is now removed?

Amos,

Use the PGOffline CSV to import using the keyboard pipe character.?? When you export from PGOffline, it even says, pipe CSV format.? The pipe looks like this |

Thus, no issues with any commas.? All is preserved and easy to read.? Very clean too.? Seldom does anyone even use the pipe character on the keyboard unless it's for software programing.

Try it again and enjoy!

Bret

Bill,

WOW.? Thanks for the link to the SQLite studio!? I'll have to give that a try too.? The only downside is, the SPAM and Yahoo annoy ads by the thousand would still be there.? BUT, still another good option.

Bret

Larry,
?
I like the HTML file to export, BUT, the file of messages would be full of Yahoo long text ads, SPAM, porn ads, and mischievousness banned members.? Also, when folks had replied via email to those messages, those FREE emails provides always tacked on 2-liner ads at the trailing end of the message.? Thus, a simple HTML file can be bloated by up to 50% in size.
?
Back in the 2003 to 2005 era on YG, the SPAM was horrible.? Doing a direct save from PGOffline to the HTML will retain all of that and more.
The more?? Well, back around 2005, the internet started moving to the HTML-5 code.? Once you export this to an HTML or other format, these weird characters start showing up.? The mapped characters could have been a quote mark, the double-space between sentences, semi-colon, bold text, etc.?

We've taken the PGOffline to export as 'piped csv' file first.? This format can be read into OpenOffice and Excel.? CSV is the comma-separated values file that all spread sheet software can read in.? PGOffline uses the pipe character on the key board as the column separator.? pipe = |? So, when opening the CSV file, Excel or OpenOffice will have a popup window that asks how to separate the columns.? Pick Other and enter that pipe key symbol.?
?
With all of the data read into say excel via the CSV file, a simple search for just the terms 'sex' 'wild' girl' 'girlz' 'horny' under the FIND ALL command allow you to click and purge them out of file in no time flat.
?
With the end tag ads, it's similar.? Just find a common ad like 'Yahoo! Clubs to Join'.? copy-n-paste into the FIND ALL, then REPLACE all.? You can replace with nothing or a simple single empty space.

In a 31,000+ message file in Excel, the Yahoo ads themselves were in 14,000+ messages alone!?

Sure it takes just a few hours to do a bit of clean up, but for the future reads, it really worth it.?? My file size went from 99Mb down to 30Mb scrubbing out the junk!?? Now, I can save this in our FREE group under a FILE folder called YG Archive Messages.? I had saved the file in a few formats because, not everyone has high speed internet.? Can you still believe folks are still on DIAL-UP in the real rural area of the USA today.?? So, HTML takes 3 mins just to click and load on high speed internet.? BUT, a download of an Excel file or OpenOffice file takes under a 1min.

Our HTML is not divided into 50 messages each either.? It would be very difficult to search that many HTML for a certain topic or key word.? It will make folks frustrated and to give up.?
?
Much of what I've talked about here can be read easily on the PGOffline forums.? The software has a good deal of ability to export into other usable formats.? Our groups have been very pleased with it's functionality too.? We have retained everything.?

thanks, Chris….had the wrong box checked….

Hello Beck,

You should check your group's settings under Admin > Spam Control to ensure that the box labeled 'Announcement Group' is not ticked. If it is ticked then deselect it and choose one of the other options which is appropriate to your group, then click SAVE at the bottom of the page.

If it is not the case that the 'Announcement Group' box is ticked then it could either be a problem with the settings of the members who are receiving this permission denial message or there might be some sort of glitch.

OK – HTH

I know; I was hoping the OP could be prompted into being a little more explicit.

Hi Chris,
this is an interesting aspect:?
I tried to test it - but I don't have any problems now. I down't know what I could have changed in Chrome...

So I must ask the other ones - we are about 7 aktiv persons (Mods and Owners) - everyone except one (and me since a few minutes) has this problem. The "one" works only by smartphone.?

Have a nice day? - and weekend is coming soon

Christoph

I hav run across it once and now can't seem to find it again.? It's a page where the HTML code for a website link to my group is spelled out.? Thanks in advance.? Really.

In Admin, Promote. Just below Settings in the sidebar.
