I checked all that, and everywhere, and it appears the content in question is beyond my control (part of groups.io)?

It says it's an invalid address

Thank you, I'll take a look and process that!

Hello, I have a new subscriber that has identified an issue with the welcome message for a Main group having Subgroups.? See below.? The email addresses and URLs are not in the new formats made after “upgrading” to contain subgroups.?

There are references to ‘canards’ in place where ‘members’ should be.? Originally I had changed the main group email from ‘main’, to ‘canards’, and finally to ‘members’ last month.

Jon -- When you rename a group (or subgroup), the corresponding member notices have to be updated to the new name manually.?

Well no, because you have sent it! However, if you go to the top of the page containing the message to which you replied (etc) there is a banner telling you that your message has been sent and is awaiting moderation.

You can edit them, but the edits need to be approved when you're still in the NuM condition.

Hi Duane,

I think I might be missing something.?

When I compose a message to a group that requires approval, after I hit the green "reply to group" button, I no longer see the message I was composing. The first time that happened, I composed a second message thinking a glitch occured. The second message also vanished from my screen after clicking the green button to submit it. I gave up thinking maybe I didn't have permission to post.?

The next day in the digest, my first message was posted and the second was replaced by the comment "duplicate". Which made sense to me. It then dawned on me that's how GIO moderation works.?

So if edits can be made, at what point? Can they be made between the time it's composed and approved? If so, is there a place in my account where I can find my unapproved messages? I stumbled on "drafts" the other day. There's a lot of GIO things I am still learning.?

I have been on other moderated platforms where others cannot see my posts. However, I can see my posts awaiting approval and I can edit them or delete them so wondered if that's what you meant in your reply. If, so can you direct me to the place where my messages awaiting approval hang out??

As an aside, is there an estimated or "normal" time frame for approval in GMF? They have always posted in the next day digest so far so I am figuring it is probably within 24 hours.?


Thanks,?

Maybe, as you say, it may have timed out, but I believe when that happens you don't get the "file too large" notice.

I agree. I've never seen that message before. What you usually get is the "maintenance" message that Duane mentioned.

As for why it didn't appear with the larger file...again, I'm stumped.?

We will try using a better connection. I am still puzzled to find out if there is a file size limitation.

Please come back here and report whatever you find out.

A few site FAQs: /static/pricing#frequently-asked-questions

I don't know if anyone else is still paying attention to this topic, or if my question might be answered elsewhere, but I finally got my Yahoo Groups data today. I tried repeatedly to download it, but the download got interrupted, apparently because my login expired. Seems it expires within about an hour, and there's no way I can download a couple of GB that fast. I can barely download a couple hundred MB before I get an authentication failure error message. Has anyone figured out a workaround to this?

Otherwise i will try at a friend's house in a couple of days, and hope her connection can download it much faster, provided my data is still there....

In Apple Mail, for example, if the Sent version of a message you posted ends up in the same folder with the distributed version of that posting, then Mail will sometimes only display one of them. If it displays the one you Sent, then it appears that the distributed version never arrived. In the case of Apple Mail the solution is to keep the Sent message in the Sent folder and the distributed message in your Inbox. Then both are available, the distributed one having group.io headers.?

Bruce: thanks for your input.

Ann,

But below that was a mini version of the flyer that had the word
"delete" as an apparent option. But clicking on that delete in the
edit mode did nothing.

It did nothing visible in the edit, but had you approved the message at that point I believe the posted message would have had an empty area where the flyer should have appeared. I think you could have seen this result by clicking Save (not Save & Approve) and then re-opening the message.

In order to avoid having an empty spot you could also delete the image from the body of the message.

If you deleted the image in the message body, but didn't delete it as an attachment, then it would have gone out as an attachment, but not showing in the message body.

Joan,

So this is a difference between a group that was transferred from
Yahoo and one that wasn't.

New Users Moderated is the default for any new Groups.io group.

There is a difference in the members, however. The members copied from a Yahoo Group retain the Posting Privilege they had in the Yahoo Group, whereas the members who join the Groups.io group by other means are initially set to a Posting Privilege controlled by the New Users Moderated checkbox.

if the "new members require approval" setting is on, does that
apply to members who join via invite?

As Duane said, the invitation constitutes approval to join the group.

Shai and Mark,?
My invite did not go through yesterday! I tried again and added my other email address to the group by checking the add only to email.list. This time I got an invite and accepted it.? It took me to the website and said it had expired, but the email address was added as a member. It is AOL but already attached to a Yahoo id.

I went to.the membership list and promoted it to moderator.? So Mark and group owners can use this work around to.get access for transfers! ? It works!

In groups.io, this usually means you are not logged in, or are logged in with the wrong email address. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Group-Content-Is-Missing

The other possibility is that you demoted yourself, or someone else did. Have the other Owner promote you again (change the Role field in your member record).

If the problem is with your Owner status in the Yahoo group, I cannot help you with that.

Good luck,
Bruce

Solved it. It was not a timeout (at least only partially), but a restriction without messaging. The files section restricted photos - they must be uploaded to the photos section.

I did not see the photo restriction error though when trying to push a large number of files (I tried 182, 150, 100 ,75), but once I tried to push a smaller number of files (25), I got the photos section restriction error. Pushing all 182 photos in one batch worked just fine when pushing them to a photo album.

My guess is that there is a backend bug or a UI oversight in how the photos section restriction is handled when pushing a large number of files - after a certain quantity, batch size, or _timeout_, the photos restriction error is not displayed in the UI or bubbled up client side. That is why a similar size batch upload worked in another group - the restriction was not in place.

Anyways, problem solved, but kinda frustrating. How do I open a bug report or enhancement request?
