Re: #Changing Group Photo #changing

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

When I made a monthly cover photo on our old Y site, I made the banner/photo fit the are that was approximately 250 x 820 pixels in size. I never tried putting up a regular un-cropped or un-resized, ?picture, because I didn¡¯t think it would work right. In Groups.io, I make my cover/banner 300 x 900 pixels.

Subject: [GMF] #Changing Group Photo

?

Hi. I recently set up an i.o. group with the aim of transferring my YahooGroup (although due to the storage limitations I'm not sure this will be feasible). When I created the new i.o. group it had a default banner photo across the top of the page. When I changed the photo to one of my own it appeared as a regular photo rather than as a banner. In my YahooGroup if you change the banner photo the new photo is displayed as a banner too. How do you get your photo to appear as a banner in the i.o. group?

Thanks -

Unsubscribe #membership

 

Are members being automatically unsubscribed if they mark a message as SPAM...??

This is the second notice I've gotten - the first said he had never marked anything as spam and had no intention of leaving the group. Haven't checked with the latest yet.

Bad bug...?

Re: banning a member from ever joining a groups.io list

 

Banned members are not members by definition so will not be
transferred. As far as I am aware the list of banned users is ignored
during the transfer.

Re: Transfer of files from YahooGroups

I just went through this with many of my groups I transferred over from yahoo to IO. I found the first groups I had transferred I left the files in the folders. The folders were transferred over but were empty. The other groups that I was going to have transferred over I took all the files out of the folders and pasted then just in the files section. Now I had the files as well as empty folders in the yahoo group. When Group.IO Tech copied the files from the yahoo group over to Io group the files as well as the empty folders were copied over. In the New group I then just had to move the files back into the correct empty folder in the new group.

Users having trouble deleting messages

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I'm in the process of moving a group over from Yahoo.? I've got three people complaining that they can't delete messages after they've read them like they could on Yahoo.? They all believe the delete message thing was a Yahoo feature (a button) that they don't have here and they're accumulating all kinds of messages that they can't delete.?? Their emails are associated with three different providers (Yahoo, AOL and Verizon) and I know at least two of them use tablets/phones and one an old fashioned computer.? I'm having problems understanding their problems as I never noticed a "delete" button on the messages from Yahoo and I believe this was an email client function.? ?

?

I've sent each of them a message asking what email clients they're using and I've asked them to delete the message from me, tell me how they did it, and then try doing exactly the same thing on a groups.io message the same way and tell me what's different about the process if it doesn't work.?

?

I'd write this off as people just not being very computer literate but with three people in the same boat, I'm wondering if there is something going on.? Has anyone else run into this with their formerly-of-Yahoo user base??

Re: [email protected] Message Received By Non-Owner of Yapoo

Sorry, Duane, "moderators that receive owner messages"?? I can't see any settings on Yapoo that set that particular aspect.? Can you point out where it is, please?

Thanks.

[email protected] Message Received By Non-Owner of Yapoo

 

This standard message, that the process instructions say just goes to the YG Owner (me) seems to have gone out to Moderators as well.? As you can imagine in a group with 10 Moderators, most of which are not involved in the transfer, this has caused some chaos.

Have I misread what was supposed to happen?

(This relates to the second group I've helped transfer this month, and it didn't happen for the first one as far as I know).

Thanks.
Re: Is The Subscription Link Editable?

 

Mark,

Because joining this group requires that the prospective
subscriber/member meets certain eligibility requirements is it
possible to edit that page to add a couple of qualifiers ...
No, but it has been proposed a few different ways in beta@.

It isn't quite the same thing, but in the Member Notices tab of your Group's settings you can create a "Pending Subscription" notice. This will be emailed to the prospect when they click the button or use the email +subscribe command.

The notice will go to the member From the group's +owner address, so make sure at least one moderator has enabled the receipt of owner messages from non-members.

Re: Data protection

 

Jim,

... and someone being transferred automatically from Yahoo groups or
elsewhere. The latter could possibly be problematic under GDPR, and
may lead Yahoo to prevent it to protect themselves.
It isn't clear how they would prevent it. Short of removing the Manage Members list as a feature.

... but I think the main problem would be theirs for passing on
personal details without prior permission.
While the law might consider Groups.io's transfer agent a "third party" in a way that is distinct from the group moderators (who may also be considered third parties), as a practical matter it is the role of moderator that gives the transfer agent access to the information.

So it would seem a bit odd to hold Yahoo accountable for the transfer of information, even though their systems gave up the info, because those systems were operating under (what would appear to Yahoo as) proper authorization.

Would I maybe use this to be sent to a list if ?I maybe need to ?warn them of something let's ?say to say any more actions like the ones by our members and?this list will be in moderation??This way I would not hav to write this over and over and over again if that's the case?

thanks. Will check that out. I did see the welcome and goodbye under member notices. I just want the member to get this not the whole group?

Re: Transfer of files from YahooGroups

 

It should, provided Y! is working and it won't overfill your storage.

Re: question how to set up

 

You'll need to set up some Member Notices on the Settings page.? In your case, you'll want at least one for Welcome and one for Goodbye.? You can have multiple of each type and choose which one to make active as the default.

There's been a thread on this very topic this week. You may want to go back and re-read that thread since it has a lot of helpful information.

Basically, Admin > Settings > Member Notices?

Transfer of files from YahooGroups

 

In then Files section of my YahooGroup we use a lot of folders and some have a hierarchical structure with a root level and sub levels. Provided Yahoo works properly is it possible for the automatic transfer process to transfer all the files in such a structure?
