Has there been any thought/discussion to add one (or more) fields to the member information?

Not trying to turn the member list into a full-out database - but for some lists it's nice to have one more bit of information about a person.? ?What street you live on for the neighborhood list.? What your plot number is for the community garden list.? ?Stuff like that.?

I could certainly add a database, but that would have to be maintained separate from the list membership, which will end up being out of sync over time.??

Couldn't find anything searching old topics - is this wish list worthy?

Re: moving a message to a different subgroup

 

I didn't say it would be easy.? ?:-)

But that is a challenge - the Web UI is so good you can almost forget this is an email list - so even if yu move a message, the next reply to an old message would go back to the same place.? ? Perhaps forwarding to the 'other' list is the best solution, as replies would start ending up in the correct bin.

You didn't say if you mean while the message is pending, or after it has posted. The former case has been requested in the beta group (the Groups.io official "suggestion box"):


That topic is now locked, but you might start a new one to see if you can "bump" the idea.

Redirecting the posting while pending, and specifically from a subgroup to the parent group, seems like the easiest case to implement and understand. In this case you know that the posting member is a member of the parent group.

Redirecting a pending message to a subgroup, from either the parent or another subgroup, might require that the poster be a member of the destination subgroup.

Moving or copying a message after it has posted (if that's what you had in mind) poses some of the same issues as editing a message. One big question is whether the message is sent by email to the destination group members, or whether that should be the moderator's choice when moving/copying the message.

Re: How do you get members to join your group? #promotion

 

Hi, I'm new here.? But have had a yahoo group for 4 years come next month. Time for a move.? Here.

I get new members via other members in the group.
Hi, new to groups.io, need assistance please

 

I have been reading the updates since they began and saw you can send invites. anyone know how?

I tried putting something on a calendar page, then it was sent to members.

What showed up was a button, outlined in grey, within it was a blue outlined page, with one corner turned down.
Below this was the link? invite.ics

As the owner of the group I tried in my personal email to open it, and it would not.

Here, in this message i clicked on it and it gave me a OPEN LINK , but again, nothing happened.

Please, help if you can, I want to move my yahoo group here, but first need to learn more.

Re: question about banning a member for all of your groups

 

Hi Sarah,

I believe there is no way to ban anyone permanently, unless you have a group that is membership by invitation only & you have to know the person outside of the group, then you already have the ability to keep someone out. Otherwise, all the banned member has to do is get a new email address and apply for membership.

Re: owners banning owners

 

Yup,
Yahoo allowed owners to ban owners.
We had one of our colleagues literally go bananas and send "shouting" messages to us when we asked why he bugged a member the way he did, forcing her to leave.
The message to us were full of 30 font curses, etc.
Two of us had to coordinate removing him from more than one group and other secure access assets by telephone after actually making a script detailing what to do in order.
Otherwise he would have banned one or more of us while we were processing things if he got even a hint.

Re: owners banning owners

 

All owners have equal standing, so any one of them could demote or ban the others, as well as delete the group.? (I'm pretty sure it was the same way on Y!)? The only way to prevent it is to make everyone else a moderator with fewer privileges.

Re: Hashtagging Calendar Event #calendar #hashtags

 

This is a bug.? It appeared when Mark started copying mid-subject hashtags to the end of the line on regular messages.? I reported it on Dec 19, but I think you should, too.? It may just be in backlog since he was on vacation for awhile.

owners banning owners

 

Can an owner ban another owner? Or demote them to regular member?

I just wondered how this works on groups.io. I can see this being a
problem in some groups but didn't know how this works.

Hashtagging Calendar Event #calendar #hashtags

 

Wanting to set a hashtag for an event (so that it could e.g. be muted), I just added it at the end of the event name, thus "Another Test Event #Test", as I would to the subject of an ordinary message, but it did not take effect as expected - it just had the hashtag '#cal-reminder' on the reminder message, when I expected it to have '#Test' also.?

Should I be doing something different? Or have I found a bug? I think it used to work that way (see handling of 'Group Managers Forum subscription reminder #admin' monthly event in this group).

Re: question about banning a member for all of your groups

 

You should only need to ban them from the main group.? They would have to be a member of that to get into a subgroup.? That would cut down on the number of steps you have to take.? I doubt that there will ever be a way to apply any action to members of multiple main groups.

Our group has existed for over 20 years, starting prior to Yahoo taking over Egroups and in all of that time we've only banned less than 6 people.
It seems rather unusual to have to frequently ban someone.

Re: Digest vs Summary

 

Nancy,

Is it it the same for summaries?
No, Summaries are once per day regardless of the amount of traffic in the group. For GMF mine have been arriving around 6 am U.S. Pacific time. I don't know if that's true of all groups.

We are trying to determine if a Digest is generated after so many
(12 ?) messages are posted to our group. Or is it a 24 hour period?
Both.

To amplify on what J said, for Digests it is once per day, plus once per 12 messages if there are more than 12 in the day. For GMF my dailies have been arriving around 10:15 pm U.S. Pacific time.

Example: 18 messages posted will generate 2 digests a day.
Correct. A digest of 12 when twelve have accumulated, and a digest of 6 at the end of the "day".

NOTE:

Digests need not be the same for all members.

If a member has muted a topic or hashtag then his/her digest(s) will contain fewer messages. In your example, that member may reach a total of 12 later in the day than other members, or might not reach it at all and receive only one digest. Or even none if all of that day's messages were in topics or hashtags muted by that member.

Likewise, members using advanced subscription preferences to receive only messages they follow will have fewer messages than those members who receive all messages.

Digest is every 12 messages, Summary is once per day at the end of each day (I'm not sure what time).

Re: Comments on photos

 

Our group, also, would like to be able to comment on photos.? We would also like to be notified when a new photo is posted and would like the ability to rearrange photos within an album.? These were all feature that we had in Yahoo that we miss very much (although that's about the only thing about Yahoo that we miss).
