Re: GIO changes from Mark
Jeff,
If we set the main group as an 'announcement group' so that onlyIn that case if you post it as a special notice it will be sent to everyone on the primary group. And that's true regardless of whether the primary group is set to Announcement Group. "Receive" is somewhat more slippery, as a given member's email service may reject a given message, or deliver it to Spam, or the member may fail to notice or open it. There's nothing really to be done about those factors. That should mean that the everyday business of discussion, questionsSure. That's true of the primary group as well, if you want to allow some discussions there that transcend the focus of any given subgroup. Too, subgroups can have Special Notices of their own, if need be.

Re: GIO changes from Mark
Jeff,
What Malcolm and Frances said: the subgroups operate as independent groups, except that each subgroup member must also be a member of the primary group. Messages posted only to one do not post to the other. So the messages a subgroup member receives will depend on their subscription settings in each of the subgroup and the primary group.

Re: GIO changes from Mark
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýNot Shal, but delivery of messages for individual members are governed by their own subscription.So if someone is ¡°no mail¡± or special notices only for the main group, they will not receive them.? Since all subgroup members must be members of the main group, they have the capability of receiving them. They may not choose to. Frances

John,
Their delivery log shows: "451 4.7.650 The mail server [xxxxxxxxx] hasPresumably the IP address cited was 66.175.222.12, Groups.io's outbound server. It seems that Outlook filters our messages because of the volumeThis wouldn't be a function of their email application, unless that is also their email service. "Outlook" is confusing in this regard because the name could mean either or both. Is there a fix for this?The member needs to find a way to tell their email service not to rate limit messages from Groups.io. Message rejection and rate limiting is not usually something that the user can affect directly by means of address book entries or filters or otherwise; so it would likely require an appeal to the service's customer support to review Groups.io and treat it as a "trusted" sender ("whitelist" it). Or failing that choose a better email service. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: member activity history
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýChris, ? Well yes, although I would be interested to know what you plan to do with it once you find it! FWIW I usually have a quick look when anyone leaves just to see how active they were previously and the usual finding is "not very"! ? I explained in my last mail to Duane why we want to know who is the member who left. We upload quite a lot of stuff concerning members and their animals. And I was quite surprised there isn?t the same activity history concerning structural facts like joining, changing mail adresses or display names etc. With yahoo it was all listed at one klick. But groups.io has so many superior features that it?s not really an issue. It would just have been nice to have.
? This is a lot of information. Thanks Victoria |

Re: Message search by numbers
WRB,
Presumably those, too, have been assigned a ¡°message number¡±. HowAt the time of the import, the imported messages would be assigned sequential numbers, starting at one greater than any message already posted in the group. New messages after the import would continue sequentially from there. Once you open one of the imported messages, you can page through them by message number. But I don't know of any way to get a list of messages by message number rather than date order. I presume a request to include message numbers in above sequentialCorrect. Sort by number would be a new option on the Messages list. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

It's best not to use a direct link to a photo within an album.? It would look something like /g/GROUPNAME/photo/233654/1, but? the 1 on the end can change if other photos are added or removed.? There are requests in to make these links static, but we don't know when or if that will happen.? Best to point to the album, /g/GROUPNAME/album?id=233654, and describe the photo, by name it's a good one.

Re: GIO changes from Mark
June,
I hate the idea of rushing to create a whole bunch of subgroups whichThere is no need. Your primary group was created before the 15th, so its ability to create new subgroups will be "grandfathered in" - not just the specific subgroups you have now.

June,
1. Login and go to your groups webpage on GroupsIO 2. On the left column click on PHOTOS 3. On that page at the top should be a bottom to click on NEW ALBUM 4. Enter the name for the album. 5. Enter the description field 6. Drag and drop photos.? (sometimes a bunch would work, else you got to do one-by-one.? Not sure what the reasoning behind that is.) BMaverick |

Should new co-owners also be moderators?
#owner
#moderators
Friends,
I'm the owner of a smallish group that smoothly made the transfer from Yahoo in November.? We're a group of alumni from a government agency who worked closely together and, yes, take institutional pride.? By "smallish" I mean we have about 125 members (though I expect that to grow, not least because GIO is so, so much better than Yahoo!). I'm healthy but, hey, not immortal.? And I saw the great consternation that many groups couldn't take advantage of "easy transfer" because a Yahoo group's owner had died, disappeared, or just plain lost interest.? Only an owner could authorize a transfer. So I plan to ask two trusted members if they wouldn't mind being promoted to owner. Our group is unmoderated; membership is restricted (i.e., requires approval), but over 10 years there's never been any need to moderate messages except in two cases where members' email accounts were hacked. I don't plan to make the new owners into moderators.? That's not necessary, right?? They could promote themselves if they wanted? Thanks in advance, Kathy |
