Trouble opening files here that do open in Yahoo
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWe can¡¯t always see the extensions on our file titles. How can we make them visible? I mean like .doc, .txt and so on. One owner, using a PC is unable to open most of our files. She went back to Yahoo and those same files opened perfectly. She has Windows 10. We are trying to see if there is a pattern here.?I am using a Mac and not having trouble opening files in??and I can see the extensions for the most part. There are a few older files where I see no extension. Thank you Susan B |

Member Unable To Post
#bug
I have a member who has successfully posted three times since our transfer, but last night got two of his messages rejected with the following "explanation":
?rejected your message to the following email addresses: [email protected] ([email protected]) |
Special Notices not delivered to all members who selected Special
#specialnotice
I just reviewed the Email Delivery History for all members of my group who selected Special Notices Only under Email Delivery. I would expect to see the most recent special notice as the?Most Recent Successful Delivery. But I see a variety, including the initial welcome message to the group after migration from Yahoo, the first special message sent since the migration, and the most recent special message.
What is the reason for this inconsistency?? Are not all people who selected Special getting all of the special notices? Regards, Stan Garfield /g/SIKM/ |
Re: how to enable subscribers to send messages without approval
Ann,
I have looked and looked at the Settings section under ¡°Admin.¡± IThere are several ways message moderation can be invoked, superseding the group's setting. You're reminding me that I really do need to finish writing the wiki page I started on that topic. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Message-Moderation Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Is it possible to make the message titles live so that if you click in the title, it takes you down to the specific message within the digest itself? ?I don't want to make them live, as they are in this GMF group, so that they take you to the web. ?I was just hoping there was a way to avoid a person having to scroll to find the specific message.

green button to go ahead with transfer - keep getting message to click it again
When I click the green go ahead with transfer button I am taken back to the top of the page where it tells me click it again because Yahoo is being flaky.
I have done this at least half dozen times, but it just keeps happening. |
Re: Admin - Members - Edit e-mail Address

I think another way to solve this is to delete the member's membership and then Direct Add that person as a new member with the new email address. ? I think I have done this, and it worked.
i thought I learned before is that when you see the "address already registered" means that person is using that new address in another groups.io group. ?Hence, my approach above wirks. |

Is it possible to reduce the vertical size of the Header on the Full Featured Digests.The digest header is not customizable.

A 25% reduction of the header (banner) would make for a more useful Full Featured Digest. I am reluctant to recommend the full featured digest to our group members when so much real estate is taken up by the header.This can be mitigated by screen resolution and/or reader settings, which varies depending on what client you are using, monitor size, etc. While you may be having this issue with Thunderbird and your own configuration there is little reason to believe all your other subscribers will have the same experience.

Topics and messages have different data fields in groups.io storage. A topic can be locked or moderated, but it makes no sense to lock an individual message. A message has a message body and someone who posted it, but by itself does not actually have a subject line...its containing topic does. Topics can have hashtags, messages do not. And so on. Back to editing messages... If you -- as a Moderator/Owner -- edit a message after it has already posted, a notification is sent to the OP. If you perform the same edit on a message during moderation, no. No. Regards, Bruce |
editing topic/message - message about the change sent?
When editing a topic (subject line of a posted message) does it send a note to the member whose post it is, and/or to the group? And when editing a message (side point - why can't you edit message and topic at the same time?) - I see an option not to notify the group, but is a message sent to the member who posted it? And - if a message is indeed sent in either case, is there a way to turn it off? Thanks Sally |
Re: New UI instructions?
Sandi D.
I took my new GIO adventures and wrote them into a group wiki.?For example, a post in today's digest described how to use the database for importing a list of links. So I take things like that and put?it in our group's wiki.?Much of GIO is intuitive and I have found the GMF wiki indespensible.
I feel it really depends on what your group's needs are. Not every group needs complete information on the full gamut of GIO features. I our changing environment, as beta requests are completed and roll out, a manual (except for the basics) becomes less useful.? I own a personal family group that I created after leaving FB almost 2 years ago. The only instructions that were needed was on posts, logins and digests options.? I co-own an international sewing group that makes use of wiki for tuturials. So in addition to the above they also needed a wiki how to.? And under this email address, I moderate a volunteer group on a national level that needs all the above plus how tos on (group required) signature, (GIO vs Group) profiles, (optional) member directory and our files and databases.? In learning much of that, I have been very grateful to this GMF group. While I would have made substantial use of a technical manual, I have discovered the majority of those in my groups haven't any questions. They seem to prefer learning only what they need to use. Most have never even logged in. They seem to prefer using email to respond and even that has been sparingly for many of them.? -- Sandi Dickenson Moderator of ASG Volunteers Group |
