I see that I have set my time zone in my Account - my name in the top right corner.

Transfer completed - very speedy, thanks Mark. All our files and photos
correctly transferred. But we are a very small group, there was only
20MB or so of them anyway.

A subscriber on one of my lists has informed me that everything in the digest he gets is time stamped PST. Both he and I are in the Central timezone. I checked on the calendar for the group and it is marked as Central Time. Is there some other place I need to set the timezone to have digests work correctly?

Thanks.

I have been searching but cannot find a Topic that deals with a Messages folder sent to [email protected]
Could someone please point me in the right direction so I can read up on that.

Hi
I have just opened a Group to explore the options in the face of the problems being expereincedthrough Yahoo!.
Can anyone explain to me the differences between Chats, Topics and Messages?
The new Group I have created has Chats and Topics as seperateitems on the navigation panel. This enviornment has Chats and Messages.
The icon for Chats suggests it is a synchronous communication tool.
Any guidance would be welcomed
Thank you
Matty

Hi all,

The last two week's change logs:



Feel free to reply to this topic if you'd like to comment on the
changes. Or better yet, if you expect a lot of discussion start a new
topic (or rejoin an existing one) about a specific change.

* On the website, do not pull hashtags out from the middle of a
subject anymore, but duplicate them at the end instead.

This affects only the view in the Messages of the group (not email delivery), but is a welcome improvement to hashtag behavior. It works better for the natural (or common) practice of writing a sentence or phrase with one or more words as hashtags.

* Bounce any messages with subject lines that begin with
'Private:'.

This may cause a few mystery bounces, but will help for instances where one member used the Private message feature and the recipient accidentally (or otherwise) tried to post their reply to the group.


Comments about these others are also welcome:

NEW: For enterprise groups that do not allow signups, disable the email +subscribe command.
CHANGE: When viewing a database table, open links in new window.
CHANGE: For event notifications and reminders, made hashtag handling in the event name consistent with how we handle hashtags elsewhere.
NEW: Can specify the width of database columns.
INTERNAL: Ability to specify max number of outbound SMTP connections per domain.
CHANGE: Moved expired topic from a member activity to a message activity.
CHANGE: Cleaned up the account billing page.
INTERNAL: Fixed internal esstreamer process to be able to deal with null columns.
NEW: An event can now have an event organizer.
NEW: With RSVPs, you can now request additional information from attendees.
NEW: You can specify a message that is sent to people who respond yes to events.
NEW: You can now lock an event, preventing people from changing their responses.
NEW: You can now sort RSVPs by either who responded first, or alphabetically by name.
CHANGE: Reformatted the Add Event page to be more consistent with the rest of the site.
INTERNAL: Rearchitected how we page through topics to make that process much faster.
SYSADMIN: Added another web server to deal with the new extra load.
SYSADMIN: Changed our deployment procedures to not upgrade all web servers at exactly the same time, so that hopefully no one experiences the kittens during a simple upgrade.
CHANGE: In the Files section, always show the New Folder and Upload File buttons but disable them if you can't do those actions.


Please call out any you find significant.

Yes, we asked that everything be transferred. Will see what happens over the next few days.

Aaron,

But I am getting non-deliverable replies to each
attempted send. (it's the address with the
group_name+int+xxx+yyyyyyyyyy)

Can you give us more detail on the non-deliverable reply? Somewhere in the body of that reply should be a three-digit code followed by a sentence or two describing the problem.

Shal

Neil,

I am afraid I am confused about the use of each and how to enable
members of my group to view either or both

The Members list includes all members, and includes subscription information such as their email address and their delivery settings. I suspect many groups would make this available to moderators only as a question of member privacy. In my classmates groups I do make the Members list available to members - we all know each other in person anyway so sharing our email addresses is a benefit rather than a risk.

The Directory contains profile information (picture and display name) for each member and is a link to their group profile (where they may provide details like their location, a personal web site, and comments about themselves (a bio or whatever they wish to write).

When viewed by a moderator the Directory includes all members, even those who have not set up a profile. When viewed by a member the Directory includes only those members who have entered some profile information. Adding profile information is entirely voluntary, and in most of my groups few members have done so.

The controls for who can see the Members list and the Directory are in the Privacy section of the Group's Settings page. For the Directory the settings are
o Subscribers,
o Moderators and Owners, or
o Member Directory is disabled.
For the Members list the settings are similar, but in place of disabled is "Owners only".

Tim,

Our group was just transferred and the member list went very smoothly.
There haven't been any of the old messages or files and photos copied
yet, is that normal or did I forget to do something?

It is normal for the content to take a bit longer to copy over.

Usually not too much longer, but Yahoo limits how often an IP address can access their systems, so this limits how fast Groups.io can copy things. That, together with the large number of groups trying to transfer right now may explain it.

Also, Yahoo Groups as a service has been having some operational problems (prompting the large number of group transfers) and that may itself be further slowing the copy process.

Shal

I found a 'quick fix' for the problem.? When editing the event for a particular month, remove the Event Repeats checkmark in the Repeats section.? That seems to make it all work as I would expect.? It will still ask for which events in the series to change and selecting This Event Only does it.

This may be the way it was designed, but is a bit confusing.? Like you, I would expect it to only change the one and not add a new one, but having the Event Repeats turned on is causing a new series.? If support verifies this, please let us know.

Did you specify that everything should be copied when you requested the transfer?? That's the only thing I can think of on your end that might make a difference.? Could also just be lag because of the large number of groups that are being transferred.

When we transferred a group earlier in the year there was apparently a
bug in the software and the photos didn't move over at first but
arrived a few days later. I had assumed that problem would have been
sorted by now. My second group will be transferring shortly so will see
what happens there.

I just did a quick test and it looks like you've found a bug to report to [email protected]? As additional information: Changing a later event in the series, say next month, also adds a new event for the duration of the time.

I recently moved my group from Yahoo. So far so good, but I have a problem setting up a repeating event.
I use the Calendar to remind members in advance of a monthly talk. I set up an event with a monthly repeat to finish after 4 repeats. The event contained general info - location, reminder times in particular. I then selected the first event in the series and added the title of the talk and speaker for that month then updated 'this event only'. But when I checked in the next month's calendar I had the original event PLUS a new series of events containing the details that I had added to the first event. I tried it several times with the same result.
Is this a known problem?

Rachel,

We like to time certain messages to appear at or near the top of
digests.

This may prove frustrating.

How long after 12 messages are posted do you get the digest? Is it
immediate like yahoo used to be?

It is immediate, but it isn't necessarily the same for all members.

Unlike Yahoo Groups, in Groups.io each member's digest is built individually. Members using the Mute or Follow features may not receive as many messages in a given span of time as other members, and so they'll reach the threshold at a different time.

Do messages in the digest start from after the messages included in
the summary?

I don't know if the digests and the summary are synchronized in any way, other than perhaps by coincidence of timing when they are generated. Normally a person would receive one or the other and not be in a position to compare them.

Shal

Rachel,

Have you had any members not be able to reach the group due to too
many redirects?

No, that's a novel one. I'm not even sure what it means.

I guess one thing would be to verify that they've got the group address correct. And/or to see if they can give you a screen shot of what happened.

The page says This page isn't working and to clear their cookies --
they do -- but they still can't access the group.

That's even odder.

After clearing their cookies they'd have to log in to Groups.io again in order to access the members-only content of your group (photos, files, ... anything not set to public access).

I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding at the root of this.
