Well, it happened overnight. The threads that were hashtagged with a duration of 1 hour have disappeared from the archive. Thanks!

Thank you Bruce, helpful wiki links. I had been equating “subject” and “topic”.

So I see that “topic” organizes individual messages or posts into a thread or discussion and a subject line is just that - an identifier of what the discussion is about.?

I also see that we can split off messages into a new topic/thread.
“Reminder -- if you are a Moderator, you can also split off messages. See?the separate wiki page?on that.”
i wasn't aware we could do that and possibly a better option than locking a “topic” - which really does not seem to be the same thing as closing just the current thread.?

Thanks! Learned a lot, as Duane said, to take full advantage I need to be on a computer. Without going into my disabilities, I'll just say the iPad in portrait mode (thumb typing) is my go device for now. Still, I'm an avid learner and look forward to spending more time eventually to dig deeper into your Wiki help. ?

What are they using? Desktops/ laptops have a bigger screen area than ipads or smartphones and this can impact on the tabs available in the composition toolbar. If they are using small hand-held devices then making sure they are working in landscape rather than portrait mode can often help.

Hi,

my ordinary members can’t add a photo in the message template, as an owner I can along with my moderators.

The settings indicate they can but the tool bar does not have the full compliment of features.

i guess I am missing something but can’t see what.

Regards,

Bob,

2. All photos in the albums seem to be displayed by filling the screen
to the maximum limit. This results in a very poor image quality.

Agreed.

I think it would be a reasonable request (in beta) that the display of individual photos never expand the image (zoom > 100%); that it only reduce the image (zoom < 100%) if necessary to fit in the current window size.

If the image's pixel dimensions are smaller than the display area the image should be centered in the display area. Then we get to argue about whether it should be bordered by black (my preference), white, 50% gray, or something else.

Eric,

Is creating a sub-group as simple as identifying it in the group email
address but using the sub-group address?

No.

As Bruce said, you have to explicitly create the subgroup, and assign its email address and other settings. The settings are very similar to those of a primary group, differing mostly where membership is concerned.

Jason,

The original owner has made me an owner of the yahoo group but I still
seem to not have full permissions of the existing yahoo group.

You may have been made a moderator with limited permissions. When visiting the Yahoo Group's pages click on the Membership menu. Look where it shows your email address. If you have a blue crown to the left of your email address you are signed in as an owner of that group. If it is a green crown you are signed in as a moderator.

Or if someone knows what instructions I can send the original owner
that might help?

Have a look at Steps 3 and 4 on this wiki page, it has screen shots of the Yahoo Groups pages you need (and you need to be able to promote the agent, not just invite the address):
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

If you can't get access to the Invite Members page, or to a member's Role setting, then feel free to send that wiki link to the original Yahoo Group owner. GMF's wiki is readable by the public so that person won't need a GMF subscription or Groups.io account to read it.

Only an idea.

Maybe it is possible to setup a subgroup as a anouncement group. Set this group to be readable for anyone, writable only for mods.

Then link a anouncement topic to the calender subject.

Could this work to see then a embeded photo without loging in?

Isidro

Gilbert/Su -- The URLs of photos in albums are also not static, changing as photos are added to or deleted from the album.

Bottom line is that you really need to host the image somewhere else if you want to ensure the desired behavior. Again, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/31532132#16547

[excess quote trimmed by moderator]

Thanks again Duane. I started a new thread yesterday, and included a quote to help start the thread. I got the 'Show quoted text' button. In this case I didn't want that, as the quote was an integral part of my posting. What we really need, if wishes were horses, is that 'Show quoted text' shows up if and only if that text is visible earlier in the ?same thread. imho.

No, it will not.

As long as you haven't yet given the go-ahead, you can change the destination yourself.?

Go to the transfer page at?/yahootransfer and click open the transfer you're working on. On the resulting "edit transfer" page, pull down the "Groups.io Group" menu and change your destination to the main group. Having done that, click the blue Update Transfer button and you'll be set.

So you deleted the destination (a subgroup) for your transfer.

Have you already transferred from YG to the main group on Groups.io? In other words, are you transferring two groups into one group?

You are supposed to transfer into your main group on Groups.io and THEN, if it makes sense to you, you transfer another YG into your subgroup.

I suggest you figure out where you are in the process.?
See #8 How do I check the transfer status?
on this page of the wiki:

Once you know, why don't you reply to this thread? Give us the step number, if you have got that far. Or perhaps take a screenshot for us.

Shorter durations tend to be more problematical. If the servers checked minute by minute to see if every hashtag in the groups.io service has timed out, there would be no resources left to do anything else. Give it some time...if set up correctly, it should eventually happen.?

I set it for delete. I will wait!

I tested using a time limiter on hashtags.?I set the hashtag for 1 hour.?
I set the duration in the edit hashtag area. The instruction is:
When set, tagged topics will automatically be deleted or locked after the specified time period.

I assigned it to existing messages and also wrote new test messages and assigned the hashtag.?But the tagged topics are not deleted nor locked.
