Re: Deleting subgroup

If the subgroup has had so little activity, maybe it's not worth bothering. Assuming you do want to keep them, you could open two browser tabs, and copy and paste from one tab open to the subgroup's messages, and post new messages into the main group. Before you do this, give some consideration to how the messages will be presented. You can't make them post earlier than the day you're re-posting them, so as Duane mentioned, they will be out of order as far as time sequence. Next, consider that you will be shown as the poster of each message, not the original poster. You can make it clear who was the OP by modifying the subject line with the sender's name, or adding information at the top of each of those 17 messages, followed by your pasting of the original messages. Do this 17 times and you've moved the messages to the main group, then delete the subgroup. Or just lock the subgroup. (The idea here is if you don't like how things turned out, you can delete the 17 moved messages and start over if you want to present the messages differently.) I have a few groups where I moved them from Yahoo Groups and all of the YG posts are in a subgroup that is an announce only group. I haven't locked them but I could have done that instead. (I wasn't aware of the locking operation until a recent discussion here.) You have the option here, if you want to do this, of merging a few messages together, or putting all 17 messages into one long message, if that is useful to you. I mention these things just to get your mind thinking about how things are going to look from other members' perspectives. You can delete your "moved" posts (re-posts) from the main group and start over, but if you delete the subgroup before you're sure you have things the way you want them, you can't go back and get them from the subgroup later.

If I delete a subgroup, are the messages in the subgroup automatically retained in the main group? If not, can I transfer the messages (only 17) from the subgroup to the main group archive?No and no.? A subgroup is separate from the main group as far as messages (and most other things) are concerned.? If it's a paid group, you could lock the subgroup so there's no more posting, but retain the messages.? You could resend those messages to the main group, but they wouldn't be sorted by the original time/date and/or sender.

Re: Can't pin this down on RSS Integrations
Mystery/Problem solved!? Apparently not all RSS readers and email services can parse a featured image to be within the item* in Wordpress's default RSS feed, so an small addon is in order.? I chose Send Images to RSS and it worked. Mailchimp users run into this issue when syndicating a Wordpress blog as well.? Leaving here if anyone runs into this problem.? Thanks for all your help in narrowing down the culprit! |

Re: trouble in my group
If you don't want to get all notifications, go to your subscription and scroll down to Moderator Notifications.
Turn off the ones you don't want to receive. For example,? You probably want to get notices about pending members, but not about account changes. Be sure to scroll down and click on Save. Frances -- Help available from Groups.io help and GMF wiki. ? |

Re: [daily automatic]

It works!!? The link I got earlier from Bruce just talked about setting up the locked groups notice, but did not include the part about having to lock the group itself.? Thanks so much!
Ann Mod's note from Frances - Just an FYI, there is a hyperlink in the notice help page to locking - "when the group is locked".?Glad it worked! |
