Spam Control -No, that is not strictly true. It is true for groups but not for subgroups. Subgroups do not require any of the four boxes to be checked and allows all members to post without moderation. This is the way all groups should be. Our groups are open, public and have over 3000 members. We had existed on Yahoo for over twenty years before transferring to GIO. During that time we never had one single incidence of SPAM being posted. It is quite an unnecessary burden and causes unnecessary delays to require moderation of first time posts for groups such as ours. Art |
Removing test posts with no linked account
Cindy in DE
Hi I am a moderator for a new IO group called DelawareStateFreeCycle that we are moving from Yahoo groups.?
?
I've been doing a lot of testing over the past couple of days to see how different things work. I have added and removed the same email account several times and posted messages under this email account. But now the account is no longer a member, I deleted it, and I have two test messages from this nonexistent account that are still there that I would like to delete that I don't know how to. When I go to the message, and click the "more" link the "delete" option is not there like it is for a posting for a member who is still existing in the group and posted the message.? (I already successfully deleted those)
?
Is there a way to delete these two test messages in our io group before I announce this group to our old Yahoo group for members to start signing up?? I would really like for that email account address and messages not be visible to anyone under messages.??
?
I would greatly appreciate any help someone could provide. I know I'm late in the game getting this group up and started with Yahoo groups going away very very soon....
?
And I am a beginner with io groups.
?
Thanks,
?

message search doesn't find all results
I just tried to find some of my own posts to this list, and put my name into the search window, and only got one result back, even though I've posted in a number of different threads. Is there another way to display all of my own posts, that's more reliable? Thanx. Isis |

Re: "CHANGE: We are no longer accepting new Yahoo Group transfer requests"?
I had a group transfer started a couple of weeks ago, but due to yahoo problems, the actual invitation to [email protected]?just went out yesterday.? Are they still going to take it and get things started soon?? After all, I paid good money for a transfer and did meet the initial dates, and everything proceeded as quickly as it could.

Is there any way that we can restrict members from exporting a database that has been set up by a moderator / owner ?Maria, The only way to prevent a member from exporting a table is by disabling their ability to view the table. This setting is found in Admin / Settings under the Database / Permissions section: "Subscribers cannot view, moderators can create tables" Disabling clicking on the "Export Database" would only be an inconvenience as it is easy enough to copy and paste the information from the table while viewing it in a browser. ? -- Gerald |
Re: Email addresses
So found this old topic about editing someone's email.? (The thread did have warnings about doing this)? ?But, I'm interested in doing this for a strange reason...
We added a bunch of emails to our group (premium, so we could do the add).? ?Somehow, 1 or two email addresses have special characters at the end of them (see photo).? ? When I edit the email, delete the special characters, then try to Save - I get the warning "That email address is already registered." It seems like the system isn't realizing the difference between? [email protected]<special>? ?and @gmail.com - Is this a bug? - If the system is ignoring these special characters, should I care? thoughts? - John Mc |

Re: "CHANGE: We are no longer accepting new Yahoo Group transfer requests"?
I bet you that when next week comes many groups will get really upset wondering what happened?? Some owners believe it or not have not told their members of this change. I have a group I let the members know. One member is on a group where the owner hasnot said a word . Thanks to my announcing exactly whats going to happen she went and set her email to individual from no mail .its going to be a mess next week?

I just now stumbled onto that subject in the group.io updates forum, if I understood right it is posted by Mark.I guess most Yahoo users haven't heard about the impending closure. Since there were at least ten million groups at Yahoo, of which Mark has said about 3000 moved here recently, that leaves 9,997,000 more who are about to get a pre-Christmas surprise. Alex, as others have said, there are several tools you can use (but only up until Saturday) to retrieve and store your members and messages, in the hope that you can get them onto groups.io at some point. -- Bill |
