Of course Mark is going to prioritize suggestions. I don’t see how that in any way implies that suggestions made should be limited.

when you upload a file in yahoogroups, it tells you by whom when it sends out the email announcing it. We’re testing groups and it didn’t show who uploaded it. I had to get online to look. Is there a setting so we see in the email who uploaded the file? ?Tammi

Marina,

I am going through the relocating process now, well before May, do you
think I could be still sued for copyright violation?

I'm not a lawyer, and I specifically don't know UK or EU law, but I think it is very unlikely.

More likely a copyright claim would be aimed at the web site displaying the material, Groups.io. Under US law there is a safe harbor provision which prevents such claims from being taken to court as long as the web site follows a set procedure for administering the claim.


For the copyright owner that procedure is onerous enough to discourage most people from making the claim unless the work in question has commercial value.

If the copyright owner does file the claim your personal downside risk is that Groups.io removes the claimed content. No lawyers involved unless you decide to counter-claim; then the copyright owner must file suit or go home.

All,

? I don't think you should be worried about posts or files or photos -
if you are then don't transfer ... just create a new group on groups.io
and invite the membership to follow you (the owner/moderator).
And, of course, 'shut down' the old group (all messages are moderated)
for a while (a few months), and then delete the old group.
? They posted them -online- and by doing so gave up any copyrights
to them (all 3) 'completely and forever'.? That stuff is already in the
public domain.

? The only 'issue' that I know of is related to 'moving' their email
ADDRESS to some new location (and, specifically to a place that
"runs on email").

given Yahoo a limited license to display their work. They have not given up

Marina,

By the way, I've found out that you cannot invite people to a
subgroups.

True, because they must first be members of the primary group. You invite them there.

You can either add them (which is a Premium Group feature, if I am not
mistaken) ...

Not for subgroups. Even in Basic groups subgroups have a Direct Add page. There you see a list of the primary group members with a checkbox to add them to the subgroup. What you can't do (not even in a Premium group) is Direct Add someone into a subgroup who isn't already in the primary group.

or they must joing the group on their own (through the subscribe
address, I presume).

Or, in the Admin section of the primary group there is a Subgroups page which also shows a list of the primary group members, with checkboxes for each subgroup. There you can conveniently see which subgroups any given person is in, and change them at will.

For now that is what we are doing as we are still getting members from the old YG moved over. (We chose not to import membership to clean up the deadwood and abandoned members.)

Duane, you ARE a wizard. It sounds very much like Columbus' egg, but you did find the answer.

Now we just need to find out why your description is being

If you sort out that one, I'll build you a monument.

Many thanks,

Just realised the "Re: Require info from prospective members" topic covered what i was asking. So I'm sure not the only one asking for this feature, hope someone takes note

Have to say surprised such a basic handy option is not included anyway, Apart from that no issues at all

Hi All,
I thought this had been discussed before but can't find it here or in Beta.?
Does anyone know if it has been suggested for mods being given editing power for member's signatures?? If so what was the verdict??
Our group members all have folders and photo albums whose links need to be in their signatures so our support team can find their info easily.? I cannot tell you how hard it is to explain to some of the computer challenged members how to set up their signatures.? When we give them the links to copy and paste, half the time they are not linkified.? Sometimes the hidden formatting causes crazy signature texts.??

Five years down the line, the presence or absence of the list archives
makes no difference to the list subscribers.

For many lists, I think this is probably true, but for organizations, they can be very useful. History is known for that.

I live in a cohousing community, 17 years old. Cohousing is like a friendly condo — it has facilities, a social life, and decision-making history. 2-3 times a year I go to the archives to settle arguments or dispute “statements of fact.” They are very helpful because I can see not only what happened but the whole context. Having digital archives is fabulous — they don’t take up a whole room of paper than is not indexed.

One thing I like about Groups.io is that the archives are much faster to search. On Yahoo, I have to wait so long for pages to load that it was grindingly boring. Old movies didn’t even help. I had to watch something compelling to fill the time.

...someone told us there's a Dame Judi rose...introduced at the London show last year..I'm going to try Jackson & Perkins to see if I can get it. I'll post the results for any of you who may be gardeners as I am.

May 2000
...little is known about Ltd. Rearsby Roses in the U.S…..appears to be an amateur hybridizer based in Leister (and Dench's private gardener… occasionally offers in-house roses for sale in Britain. "Dame Judi Dench" is another such occasional offering. [a long message with lots of info on the international rose business]

...Dench is the name under which this dark red floribunda is sold. Its international code name (which is permanently attached to this particular plant, even in the event of a name change) is: PEAthunder This rose is unregistered in the United States. It was hybridized in England by Pearce, a small independent floribunda specialist. Judi Dench was released 1997 in England by Rearsby Roses Limited. This rose is currently and exclusively available through this nursery. It is owned by Robert W. Boswijk. They offer new roses by small independent hybridizers Cowlinshaw and Pearce. Rearsby Roses Ltd. does not export to the United States. Contact information for Rearsby Roses Ltd. Rearsby Roses Ltd., Melton Road, Rearsby, Leicester LE7 4YP, England Telephone: 0116 26020 1211…

Another “secret” ist had a series of messages from a monk in Arizona who did all the paper work to import the rose and grow it in isolation in Arizona. He took donations and promised cuttings when the plants were released from isolation. It was 2-3 years later that we got the cuttings and he used the rose to fundraise for his youth program. That part of the history is lost because the list was deleted by the owner with no notice to anyone.

To great fanfare in May of 2017, an apricot shrub rose was introduced in England by a famous rose hybridizer with no mention of the earlier red floribunda developed by Judi's gardener.

While attending the preview of the Royal Horticulture Society’s Chelsea Flower Show this week, Dench went to see the special rose hybrid called the Rosa Dame Judi Dench. Grown in an Albrighton-based nursery, it took Shropshire grower David Austin eight years to perfect the apricot-colored rose.

Not everyone cares about this but this is history preserved in YahooGroups. And it will likely disappear.

One of my two red Bs answered, she didn’t change email, she’s now blue. What does she do? She said she’d changed passwords “that’s all”.?

Now what, wait ?

We have many old posts, for example, meeting notices that would be nice to purge. Is it possible to do this after the transfer by "subject" or other bulk deletion? Or, should we delete before transfer? As you know, deleting B4 is a tedious and lengthy process.
Thanks for any answer. Dennis

As you can see from the myriad of responses there are many reasons why such a feature is useful. My lists are for some pretty narrow special interests and it is a great tool to make sure the prospective member is actually interested in the topic and will comply with the rules set forth (stay on topic, not inflame discussions etc)

What happens if you use the setting under Spam Control for:

Restricted Membership
Members require approval before being allowed to join the group.

On Yahoo this brings up a box for the user to submit reasons.

Hello

My group has just been moved from Yahoo where when new members joined the group they needed to give a reason why they wanted to join

As a moderator I need to see this reason in order to approve them to the group

However I don't see this option here in the setup. Does it exist in settings somewhere?

Thanks
