Re: Duplication of photos in "Emailed Photos" folder
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI would like to delete the excess images, but that deletes the
reply post also. (unless I leave 1 photo behind)? I don't normally
reply from the website and I looked at the reply options there and
I didn't see an easy way to stop the quoted text from being
included unless it is by the show/hide quoted text.?? If the
default is to hide and you need to affirmatively click "show" to
make this problem happen, my users must be doing this and getting
them to stop should be the solution.? If that is the way to keep this from happening, that can be a tedious exercise for messages in long posts though. Dale On 12/20/2019 1:19 PM, Bruce Bowman

#ioimportpl
I too am using ioimport.pl and am having some success. I understand that there is a newly-released version 5, and I will download it and use it.
I have several questions: 1. I see the needchange.txt file. Of ~2500 subscribers, I have ~270 entries in this file. Do I need to resolve all issues in this file for the program to succeed? What happens if I don't? 2. I got an error when I tried to use the map.txt file. I tried with both a comma and a space. I want to import 10K+ messages, and would prefer to only do this once. :-) Thanks very much to Lena for creating and assisting with this program! Mike |
Including images in the body of a message, and not just as an attachment.
#images
I need to put an inline image into an email sent out to the groups. When I try, it's put in as an attachment and not as part of the message.
I know when my SquareSpace site sends an email via RSS, the image is included in line. I've tried doing it via the webpage, and get a JSON unexpected EOF error. I've tried JPG, PNG, and PDF. |

Reinstating A Member Who Got Removed For Marking A Message Spam
One of my members was removed from two of my groups.? The notification says for marking messages as spam.? He says he does nog know what he did to cause this.? He wants the group messages and is unhappy about being removed.
He has sbcglobal email so they may have done the spam marking.? He says he did not.?? I told him he should have received a message with links to get added back.? But I am not sure he will find them.? He is older and says he is no longer as computer savvy as he once was. Dealing with problems like being removed because a message was marked as spam is a difficult challenge for senior citizens of very advanced years.? Many of my members are in their mid to upper eighties, but they love keeping up with their groups. Should I send new invites and direct add him to the group that was premium.? Did groups.io remove his whole website account or just remove him from my groups? Can he use the same account he had if I direct add and send invites?Sent Thanks!? I am hoping he finds the notices with links to be reinstated.? But he may not have received them.? He did not know he had been removed until I contacted him. Will the links add him back to his groups or will he have to join again?? |

Differences in footer look between normal and GIO-sent messages
#footer
Hi folks,
Before I bring this up on beta, does anyone in here know if the footer is supposed to look differently when one uses the online interface to send a direct message to a user versus a normally posted/replied-to group message? In the former case this is how it looks, note the [ For more info ...] text (custom group-specific text added by us) is at the top: [ For more help on using our group visit /g/AMD/wiki/Group-Help ] Groups.io Links: Contact Group Owner Terms Of Service versus the normal footer: Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group. | Reply To Group | Reply To Sender | Mute This Topic | [ For more help on using our group visit /g/WingsofPeace/wiki/Group-Help ] | Contact Group Owner | (also note in this case how the two horizontal lines that I guess are supposed to highlight our custom-added text are centered on the page's width, not left-justified as in the text-only version of this footer***, or non-existent as in the direct-message version.) If this was done intentionally, does anyone know why? Cheers, Christos *** text-only footer version: |

Re: A couple of questions
You don't need to send a new invitation to people. From the "Sent Invitations" page you can select any that haven't been accepted and then resend them with the Actions button. I like to send emails to people I'm inviting BEFORE sending the invitation. That way they know to look for it (sometimes in their spam folder) and respond to it, and if they don't see it they hopefully will let me know.

Deborah,
If you are asking about messages appearing on your YahooGroup, please ask at the? group managers forum on yahoo groups. This forum is a peer-to-peer discussion about Groups.io. Or moving to Groups.io Frances -- Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)

Question re Yahoo Group emails
Deborah A.
I moderate a Yahoo group & have done so for years.? Since the change I have been unable to get my own emails to post on the group.? If someone else posts I see it but many hours later.
Also, is there any way now to view on the group webpage discussions/emails that are being sent? |

I think you just need to follow their instructions. By adding an address or domain to your whitelist, email from this source is automatically saved to your inbox and is not checked for spam. Since email addresses that are saved to your Contacts list are automatically saved to your inbox folder, we recommend that all whitelist addresses that you wish to receive emails from are also saved in your Contacts. ? -- Gerald |
Re: A couple of questions
Hi Eric, "First, when adding members I have several that have Yahoo records with
no name, merely an email address. Do I load the email address and does
it require the brackets (<>). Nothing for the name." It has been over a year since, using the auto transfer, I moved a couple of Yahoo Groups to Groups.io. At that time, there were over 50 members out of ~500 yahoo emails that were no longer in service. These were ID'd by bouncing and I checked all of them by sending them emails and getting a bounce. That number is now 105 in a group of 926, the vast majority being Yahoo mail. My point being that if you are trying to add members who's emails are dead, the report may have a problem. Unless you know that all of the emails are active, you might sent them an email to see if they are bouncing. They were not bouncing in the Yahoo Group. It is odd that Yahoo didn't identify them as such. Good Luck, Paul, Ohio, USA |

Thanks. I'll find them. It's useful to know that the invites are still around. Eric
