It isn't that similar to Facebook; Facebook has emoticons to compound the "problem"; Groups.io doesn't... thank goodness.

I think Sandi Kozinn makes a very valid point; "likes" are much less cluttering than posts simply sent in agreement.

In practice many users will have no idea that any given post has been "liked" for the simple reason that they use whatever groups they are members of by email only, and of course there is no "like" provision by email.

OK; if they were optional it would be a matter of choice for the group owner, but I wouldn't want them to be simply removed. They are, IMHO, harmless, and once Mark has had time to recover from the recent melee there will, I suspect, be more significant changes to consider.

Hi - I'm looking if we have the ability to password protect a certain file group under files.? This would be helpful to our club.

Thanks in Advance,

Other than seeing a count on the message screen, do "likes" even do anything here?

I'd rather see a count of, say, 8 "likes" on a post than have to skim through 8 posts in my mailbox that say nothing but "I agree." Preferences may vary, I understand, but anything that cuts down on clutter is great with me.

Most of our members opt to receive the digest.? Starting last weekend (12/14/19) the individual mailings of posts went out as usual but the digests were not sent out that night.?

I received digests on Saturday and Sunday from several groups.

Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)

GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

I can't find a way to search and find specific photo albums. If I enter the album Title in the Search box, that takes me to the *contents* of the photo album. If I enter the name of an individual photo, that takes me to that one photo. But, I can't find a way to get directly to the photo album thumbnail in the 35 pages of Photo albums.

Is there a way to do this?

Duane,

Every time I go the GIO posting to select a LIKE then leave the page, regardless of the group in IO, a DFAT message is created in that group.? For this group alone, I had over 23 LIKES and 23 drafts in the DRAFTS column on the left.

So, now I have begun to hate using the LIKE button to the point of disabling it would be a good idea.

Only annoy people that don't like them. ;>)

Talk about jinxing myself... a few hours after this I just received 6 bounced mails in a row due to the "no reverse DNS" error. Then worked fine. I suspect there may have been a temporary delay on someone's end, but I'm pretty sure we're on the right track with the increased look up time solution that Mark has been implementing.

No.? Much of that can be controlled by your browser, so there's really no reason to set it on the site.

No.? It's been suggested on the group, official suggestion box for the site, but never got changed.? You'd have to post over there for it to be seen by management.? (Mark is on holiday until Jan 6.)

In most browsers, if you click and hold on the Back button it shows a
dropdown list of previous screens, and you can then go directly to the
one you want. More useful if you want to go back a long way, of course.

I've been using browsers (and creating/amending web sites using a text editor)
since 1996 but still didn't know that. Thanks. Occasionally that will be very
useful.

Only if you don't take the time to go online to read the topic.

Why would those of us who are short of time anyway bother to do that when we
don't know if the topic is of any interest anyway. If people want their
messages to be understood they should take the trouble to ensure that by
quoting enough to make it clear what they are talking about - as you did in
this case.

Discovered I was getting the emails into PGO.? They just weren't visible in the window I was looking at (!)

As for what is still available from Yahoo (Verizon) this seems to vary from time to time.? On my largest list I've only gotten about the first half of it, but plan to keep trying as opportunity arises.

You can try this in settings - message formatting.

Not Registered version, so not answering your question or addressing that data point. However I can report that PGO Trial does find members, all of them, in excess of 1000, on a Y!G I'm "Owner" for (which it wouldn't seemingly do before, why I used/recommended the Chromium Application.)

I swapped Y! accounts a couple of time and verified it would look however could not find File, Photos, or Links.

Of mild interest, when requesting Files it returns a check box in the list choice area, against "root." Which would seem to indicate they have in fact removed either the files or our links (sym links?) to them.

(That begs the Q. have they made more work for themselves to allow account/group associated retrieval up to end Jan? However neither here nor there.)

Re Members retrieval, the Y!G I'm Owner of I received a useful enough two column file (more info via the Chromium Application) and a Y!G I'm a member of, only the subscriber's account name (?) (which sometimes is an e-mail address.)

Cheers, John

Hello!

Can we disable the 'Like' option on the web group? I would like to keep the forum simple and don't resemble Facebook

If there's no option for that, can I request an option to disable it?

Thank you and regards.

Bruce, thank you.
