No, even if you do read the subjectline. No quote means you don't know what part of whose message the reply is to

Re: Yahoo Groups shutdown commences #yahoo

When our members break our rules with their postings and it's a something that I can't fix without rejecting it with reply and telling them to fix it I just go ahead and do that because it easiest that way. But if I have to do it via email, I don't see a way to edit their posting and then approve it. At least for the last email that I received it just looks like I can approve it or reject it. Is that true I no longer can edit it and I can no longer reject with reply telling them what's wrong? or does that reject option in the email give me a choice to just reject or reject and reply once I try it?

I'm beginning to not just dislike but to detest YG......

Does that mean that we can no longer have messages that we approve? that they all have to automatically go through? Before I think it used to just say there was nothing to be approved.
Cindy -- This problem has been reported in the Yahoo version of GMF, too.

I suspect that going forward, you will have to moderate all posts by email...there is no such web function in Y!G anymore.

Bruce,

So I was right on my hunch.? That the change over was today rather than the weekend as most businesses run M-F 9-5.

It looks like all the Home Page pictures have disappeared also, to be replaced by a vapid Yahoo generic picture or nothing.

Hi Bruce,
?
We moderate all of our messages from our members.? Approving them the past couple of days has been a nightmare. I would have problems getting to the approvals for messages. Sometimes taking me up to six different tries over an hour time frame to get to the approvals. And then I would approved them they would disappear from the queue as if they were approved and maybe half an hour later they would pop up back in the queue to be approved again. And so it would be hit-or-miss as to whether they were actually approved. Most of times taking four or five tries at going through this process before they actually got approved and went through. And of course they had already stopped showing up under conversations. So during this process of waiting whether or not they were really approved I couldn't tell until they just stopped coming up into the queue again.
?
Now when I go look into the approval queue to see if there is anything in there I get a message that says
?
"The item you are looking for is not available".
?
Does that mean that we can no longer have messages that we approve? that they all have to automatically go through? Before I think it used to just say there was nothing to be approved.
?
I checked our moderation settings and it still says under messages that they are moderated. But it also says photos are unmoderated and photos don't exist anymore.
?
So what should be happening with our messages when we want them to be moderated?
?
Interesting our group homepage picture changed too.

It appears that files and photos and such are now gone from Yahoo Groups.

Re: Duplicate Message Posts

 

That has happened to me in one of my groups. I suspect what causes it is that another member is using my post to respond to the group, and is inadvertently hitting Reply all and Sender. It usually ceases when the specific subject that is under discussion closes out.

The Chrome browser apps no longer seem to work. They run, but don't download anything. Not sure where this leaves PGO...but I suspect we're now at the mercy of the Privacy Dashboard exports.

Regardless of where you put your text, consider putting a DASH DASH SPACE NEWLINE before your signature, like what I have below. Many programs recognize this as the start of a signature and will exclude anything after it in replies. The space is critical.

Not directly or easily.? You'd need to edit each event to occur for the local time/day of the person involved (set the calendar to their time before editing.)

If you set the group to Restricted, those that are invited won't need approval and you won't need NuM to be set.? If they join on their own, outside the invitation, then they'd need approval.

moderation

 

I am trying to replace a restricted mailing list from a with a list at groups.io. The mentioned list has 3000+ members. The current owner of that list (neither a googlegroup nor a yahoogroup!) will not make avaiable the user email addresses. My plan is to invite all current members of the old list to the new list at groups.io by email, and by email only. But I really want to skip

- to individually approve of every new member
- to individually unmoderate every new member

Is there a way to make this happen on groups.io?

Cheers,
Dirk

Re: Duplicate Message Posts

 

No, I have not participated in any of the duplicated messages; I never replied in any form to any of them.

I have duplicate memberships in other groups.io Groups I own but under different email addresses for safety but all except my primary address membership are set to No Email. I have only one membership in GMF.

The footers in the duplicate GMS messages are identical, as are the headers. Not all GMF messages are duplicated. I've expanded the headers and looked to see if there are any differences; there are not. Not every GMF message is duplicated.

I don't get duplicates from any other Group than GMF or any individual email.

I have seen other comments on GMF about duplicate messages but I don't remember the circumstances.

It is only an annoyance; Delete works...

Subject: [GMF] Duplicate Message Posts
________________________________________________________________________________
I often receive two identical copies of GMF messages, such as the recent
one about Facebook. I have only one membership in GMF and only one
groups.io registration with a password. Not every message is duplicated
but many are. The full headers of each duplicated message are identical,
as is the message content.
Any idea why?

Re: Failed transfers.....

 

One of the drop downs allows for membership retrieval.? BUT, you must be either an owner or moderator in a group that masks the emails to get the membership email listing into PGO ...? OR, the YG allows the emails to be displayed for the group. (this isn't the normal default setting).

Some folks who had joined used their email as their user name.? Thus, it's a no brainer to figure out.
