Hi Becky,?
I have an AOL account that I use for testing. Instead of using the AOL app on iOS, I added my AOL account into the iOS mail program found under Settings. You might want to give that a go.?

No.

What happens if I don't?
Email addresses of non-members are only inserted into beginning of message body.

2. I got an error when I tried to use the map.txt file. I tried with both a
comma and a space.
Please compress the map.txt file with `zip` and email the .zip file to me.
May be an empty line in the file. I uploaded version 6 with the only change: empty lines in map.txt are ignored.

You provide very little information so we can only guess what your
problem might be.

My guess is that you transferred a group and the group members as a
whole are resistant to change. Or that you transferred a fairly
inactive group.

Did you discuss the move ahead of time in the old group before making
the move?

I moved a group of over 4,000 members but it was a low activity group
by the time I moved it. It's purpose has run its course. It was about
growing hops and it was formed during a world-wide hop shortage after
a large international hop storehouse burned down. Hop prices went
through the roof, and homebrewers (of beer) wanted to grow their own
hops to save money, and others wanted to get into the hop farming
business to make money.

The shortage was back around 2007, I think, and back then we had over
100 posts daily. Now we have less than 5 in a month. The shortage is
over, and prices have dropped, partly due to many new entries into the
supply chain.

If you moved a group that wasn't active, I wouldn't expect moving to
groups.io would be a magic solution to inactivity. I would actually
expect less activity after moving since some members may not know how
the new platform works, and others won't appreciate being moved to the
new group.

If this doesn't address your question, we need more information.

Re: paid, transferred the group, crickets

 

I did my group of? 500 members from yahoo groups and it worked quite slick. Everyone is thinking I'm a Guru,? and I really haven't done that much.??

It was a small learning curve,? but I have it up and running after just a couple of days.

To help,? I need more details - where did you come from,? how big was the group,? what exactly are your problems - maybe i can help.??

Calling it "a racket" is a bit strong. :(

That aside, you haven't actually told us what is happening (or not happening as the case may be) so it is impossible to suggest things to try.

Some more detail please.

If I view a topic and click on the date link at the top right of the topic I can choose which order to view the posts.? The topics are listed in date post created order.? I would like them ordered by edited date and if not edited by posted date.

I read the suggestion, rather, to use the subgroup to test the import
process and work out any kinks (e.g., the needchange.txt question you have).
If something goes awry, you can delete the subgroup and start over: no need
to deal with deleting individual messages, even with automation. After
getting the import to work they way you want, you can import to your main
group.

I need to put an inline image into an email sent out to the groups. When

I know when my SquareSpace site sends an email via RSS, the image is

I've tried doing it via the webpage, and get a JSON unexpected EOF
error. I've tried JPG, PNG, and PDF.

If the file description in that example image is accurate I think, to my sensibility that is, the image file size is a bit large.

It shows as 3.64 MB

That is a bit of a contrast with the attachment it was received in at only 186 kB.

I only point this out, I don't know if size will affect whether it works as expected or not.

Re: Reinstating A Member Who Got Removed For Marking A Message Spam

 

He has not found the removal notices so I direct added him back to the premium group and sent an invite for the other group.? Is there any reason this could cause a problem with his account???


Re: mbox upload - dates are missing #mbox #ioimportpl

 

I had ~600 topics. I used an auto-mouse click program to delete them all :-).

Per your suggestion, I created a subgroup, but it had only the owner shared from the main group. I would have to re-add all 2500 members, and they would be notified of the subscription, unless there's a way around this or I'm misunderstanding something.

ioimport.pl now shows my four mbox files contain a total 10324 messages (deleted messages excluded)

1515 email addresses need to be changed, see needchange.txt
Of those, 735 are NotMember, 735 are NewUserModerated, 39 are Bouncing, 3 Bounced, and 3 Pending
Please tell me I don't need to resolve all of these to have a successful import!

Thanks,

Mike

Is there any way to control the appearance of the archived postings, as regards fonts, font sizes, etc. Regardless of what font is used in an email that gets posted, the version in the archives usually ends up too small to read.

As far as font size and style, Duane is right. It is dependent on your device. As you see from my test this evening, you can take out crazy fonts and colours with "normalize" in settings. ?However that may not be your question! I set my browser preferences for larger fonts.

Ken, I just tested it. There is a difference, both online in the group and in my email on my computer (MacBook) and on my iPhone.

With normalize turned on in settings, it looks fine, conventional. Without it turned on, it has the coloured and weird fonts that I selected for the test.
Same on my iPhone - without normalize, ?it has the red font in the groups page, and in my email.

Re: Including images in the body of a message, and not just as an attachment. #images

 

The method (an image is either attached or inserted) seems to me to be dependant on the email application.?

They can send an email to?Subscribe: main+subscribe@[GROUPNAME].groups.io
(Substitute your group name.)

I guess you know about direct add, invites, etc.

Links to options in the wiki.
See especially -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation

Is your group restricted? If it isn't, they can just click on Join This Group on your group homepage.?

If you were wondering about using the group-owner e-mail address, perhaps your group is restricted and you want to vet your applicants.
If yes, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Screening-New-Members-Using-the-Pending-Subscription-Notice
