You can put a link to a Google Drive folder anywhere that accepts a hyperlink -- your wiki, a pinned message, even your home page.

Daniel,

Replies to announcements should be sent to the discussion list. There
isn't a setting for this.

A different approach would be to post the announcements simultaneously to both the primary and subgroup, but have the subscriptions in the primary group set to No Mail, or Special Notice, or perhaps Daily Summary.

That way people in the discussion list can reply to the announcement naturally.

People can easily leave the discussion list and remain in the
announcements list.

A person choosing to do that would then change their subscription in the primary group to Individual Messages, or Digest, or whatever they like.

The announcements will be moderated and hopefully a few messages a
week tops.

In the primary group this can be accomplished with either the Announcement Group or the Moderated box in the Spam Control section of its Settings page.

In the subgroup (discussion list) do you want members to be able to start their own topics, or only reply to an Announcement topic? Either choice is possible.

If they are allowed to start their own topics it is simple: leave all the Spam Control boxes unchecked.

If you want to restrict them to replies it is a bit more involved. There isn't a setting for that directly, but you can set the subgroup to Moderated, but put a special hashtag on all announcements. The hashtag can then have the "Replies Unmoderated" property, to allow replies but new topics by the members would be moderated. You could then reject them, perhaps with a reminding note back to the member.

No.? Unlike Photos/Albums, you can't put restrictions on Files/Folders.? If you have file upload enabled, the members can put them anywhere they want.? All you can do is ask that they put them in a certain folder.

Hi,

Is there a way to create a pool folder under Files where members can upload files and from there the mods can scrutinize and if not spam or non-related files, move and file the user uploaded file in the correct folder? Members do not care where they file and in a short while the Files section is chaotic to say the least, especially when we have to deal with technical reference documents.

Thanks,
Herman

Larry,

One photo is 3MB as HEIC. It is 3.6MB as jpeg. But Groups.io uploader said it was 3.47MB.

Frances, I know about that. I'm not sure how it relates to my question, though.

That was my first reaction as well, but realized it was buried in the details, "The digests include the full text of each message, omitting any quotes of prior messages."? I wrote it off as an overzealous helper! (TMI ;>)

This feels like a standard situation, of wanting a separate discussion and announcements list. Any good options?

On many groups, the announcement and discussion are all in one place, as they are here and on the beta group.? To me, your intention is the one that's unusual, but I have no way of knowing which way most groups are used.? I can't think of a good, easy option to do it that way.

Su,

I don't think there's a way to collaborate on documents within
Groups.io ...

There is the wiki feature, which is intended for exactly that.

I'm not sure I want to spend that much time moderating, especially if groups.io could fix this with a 5-minute code change.

I don't spend an inordinate amount of time moderating those groups.? Usually once or twice a day I check for approvals needed since I do everything online.? Mark doesn't make any changes unless they're well thought out and won't break something else, so your 5 minute code change may take several days minimum (if it's ever done.)? The point is there are ways around most problems and just because it's always been done one way doesn't mean that's the only way.? I find it refreshing to see things done differently (and usually better.)

Su,

The only solution I can think of then is to tell members about it. Any
other ideas?

Whether forwarded content gets wrapped in a blockquote or not may be an option in some email interfaces.

Thunderbird does not do that. It has two choices for forwarded content: " inline" and "as attachment". When Inline is selected it puts a header block in front of the forwarded message, as below.

That would explain it, thanks. Most of the time, that is a very good thing.

Thank you everyone.?

I discovered that in Photos I can export it as jpeg or png, save it somewhere on my computer ant then upload the photo to Groups.io.
Looks great on the group website or in email.
Go to File, Export.

FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups
GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

Larry,

I'm still waiting to see full headers from someone who has set
the appropriate options.

Example 1:

To: [email protected]
From: shals2nd@...
Subject: [shalstest] Test message with group's Reply To set to Sender

Note the lack of a Reply-To: field. It isn't needed because in this case the reply should go to the From address.

Example 2:

From: "Shal's name via Groups.Io" <shalstest_new@...>
Reply-To: shalstest_new@...
To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>
Subject: [shalstest] Test message with group's Reply To set to Sender

Note this time there is a Reply-To field.

It is required in cases where the sender's email address has been munged for DMARC. The From field contains an address which won't accept messages, but will satisfy Yahoo Mail's demand that lists not send messages "From" them.

No.

Once you make your message archives private, you can't change it back. You should have received a warning to that effect when you first made it private.

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/23164?for an explanation.

The only way I know is to export your member list and import it into a spreadsheet program, then you can sort by the relevent column.

Carter,

We have a very shy member who doesn't want anyone else in the group to
know her contact info.

Does she ever post messages? If so her email address will be sent to members who receive her post by individual messages. There is no way around that.

I'd like to hide her completely from the directory listing members can
access. Is there any way to do that?

It is done by default. That is, the Directory is opt-in as far as members seeing each other's profile listed there. So unless she chose to make her Profile available to other members, it won't be.

Note that even if she did, the Profile info does not contain her email address - it only includes whatever information the member chooses to put into their profile. It would have a button whereby other members could send her a message off-list, but that works without revealing her email address to the other member. However if she replies to the other member that reply would of course be From her email address.

I'm the owner of?/g/nanovna-f
Yesterday one of my group member said he want to use RSS feed.
Then I found that the Feed didn't appear under the Group Information of my group.
I searched in GroupManagersForum and found that only public group can use RSS feed. But I can't find an option to change my group from private to public.
Can anyone help me?

Eva,

I cannot start a new transfer.. I get this error message:
That Yahoo Group is already a part of another transfer.

Have you resolved this yet?

As Bruce and Duane mentioned, that prior (or current) transfer must be deleted before you can start a new one from that Yahoo Group.

That could have been yourself, yourself logged in using a different email address, or someone else. If you can't figure out who it is, then only support can help you.

I've written Mark directly with no answer.

I'm not sure what you mean by "directly", but if you have already upgraded your destination Group to Premium Yearly then you should receive priority response from [email protected]. But even so it may be a while, as there's apparently quite a backlog.

I'm fine with deleting the subgroup if I could get the information
into the main group.

I don't see how that could be helpful.

You should target the transfer for whichever Groups.io primary or subgroup you intend to contain the content of the Yahoo Group - there's no easy way to move content between groups and/or subgroups.
