Re: Wiki - Status Badges on the Members List

 
Edited

Nancy,

i added a ¡°colored box after members name¡± to wiki. Could someone
complete/correct the actions needed for me?
Ok, I've started to fill it in a bit. I'll post again, and link to it from the home page when I've completed a first pass at it.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Status-Badges-in-the-Members-List

Firefox has a new feature, you can grab screen captures in the browser without needing other tools - makes it convenient to copy graphics from one page, like those badges in the members list, then paste them directly into the Wiki page.

I'll bet you can use it when composing messages (on site) too.

Re: 1 GB limit and removing stuff to make more room?

 

Duane,
Thanks for the link. I see messages themselves are not counted toward the storage limit, but it appears Chats are. What is the difference between a Chat and a message?

Re: Messages not always emailed #issue

 

Norm,

I created a message to my trial group. The first time I posted
it, the message showed up in my site message list, but did not
go out as an email.
...
Thanks. It was not in spam. I was also asked to allow it and the
sender first.
I'm confused by this. You were asked by your email service? If your email service asked you to allow the message and sender then it must have actually been sent out by Groups.io.

Re: Can't invite

 

Stan,

I attempted to invite [email protected] to a yahoo discussion group,
but I get a message that says "Sorry, an error occurred while loading
the content."
To combat the uncertainty over whether the invitation was actually sent or not, the transfer agent started sending an acknowledgement to the Y!group's -owner address. Given the backlog, the acknowledgement may arrive days ahead of the transfer agent accepting the invitation.


I believe "content" is the [email protected] email address I entered
in the dialogue box to invite members.
I think actually that error message usually refers to the content of the scrolling area of the page. In the case of an Invite it would likely have been the results list that it couldn't load, which would ordinarily replace the fill-in forms.

Will [email protected] respond to a personal email message to join?
Not yet, but it is being considered. See Mark's reply I cited above.

Hi. The group owner is over 18, in his early 30s. okay, see if one of the admins, could block his static or dynamic ip address.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Will past it on.

Re: re delayed message

 

Your message to this group came so there must be something odd about your group setup or your email.?

Are you sending an email or posting from your group site? If email, are you sending to the correct address?

Very puzzling.?

re delayed message

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I sent a message to my group 12 hours ago, it has not yet appeared on the web site nor in my In Box.
I thought that once I was away from Yahoo, delayed messages would be a thing of the past... lol..
How can I find out what caused the delay... other private emails I sent at the same time were delivered... and there has been new messages (from other people) in the message list since? sent mine.

Add Rows= Moderator and table owner, Edit Rows=Members
Looks like you're nearly there.? I think you'll want to change that to Add Rows=Members so each member can fill in a row (or more).? Then you'll change Edit Rows to 'Moderators, the Table Owner, and the Row Owner'.? That would allow each member to change their row(s), but no others.? Allowing Members to edit rows will allow them to edit any row, not just theirs.

Re: spoofing

 

Marvin,

Or is locked down moderated status the way to go.

?
The potential for mischief, and worse, by way of spoofing is one of the stated reasons that Y!GMF has always had a 100% moderation policy.

On the other hand, spoofing someone else's address has become more difficult, and rarer, in the last 10-15 years or so as most email services have tightened up their policies regarding sending messages with an alternate From address. But a person intent on mischief most likely can still find a way.

I don't know to what extent Groups.io's incoming message process is locked down against spoofed messages, but I don't think I've seen any myself in any of my group's Pending or Messages. There are techniques to cut down on spoofing (such as SPF and/or DKIM authentication) but the more of that Groups.io does the more it runs the risk of rejecting legitimate members' messages.
?

This is cyber bullying.

?
Whenever minors are involved the group's moderators need to be particularly vigilant about message content. If a moderator him/herself is a minor that's a difficult position, as then he/she is generally exposed to whatever comes the group's way. Same as the minor's email address.

if you set up a wiki page to store something does that mean it then doesnt take space up on group so keeps your storage down, may sound silly but wasnt sure what wiki was for

i understood that members couldnt make the no mail choice, i think its best if they cant as get more out of group if join in so will be interested to see reply

In the Message Policies section of each group's Settings page there's a "Disable No Email" checkbox for group admins that feel the way you do. Of course, the members can still choose Special Notices.

Re: Who Can View And Modify Databases

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I would only like the owner and moderators to create the columns in the databases, but would like the owner, moderator, and members to be able edit the information in the rows.

?

In admin/settings/databases, I have it set for Subscribers can view, moderators can create tables.

?

At Edit Table/Modify Table of the database I have View Table =Members, Edit Table=Moderator and table owner, Add Rows= Moderator and table owner, Edit Rows=Members .

?

Am I accomplishing what I would like to do?

Re: spoofing

 

Is this really spoofing?? I think you need a way to block the individuals static ip Address.
Re: 1 GB limit and removing stuff to make more room?

 

On YG the list owner can see how much storage is devoted to files
and photos, messages are NOT counted against storage on either group.
On YG click on "Photos", then Albums and the size will be displayed

spoofing

Marvin Hunkin
 

Hi. A friend of mine had to close down hi his group, because ?person, got hold of the owners address, and hacked his e-mail and group. So he then opened another group, and has got three moderators, and his group is restricted and private, but he may have got tools off the net how to do this. Is there a way, he is banned by the admins. Is there any way to stop him from hacking the group or the owners gmail address. Or is locked down moderated status the way to go. A owner of another group, has the same issue a few weeks back and he had it in moderated status, some one was spoofing, sending vile and vulgar messages, pretending to be the owner and members. Same has happened to this person group, he shut it down, then created a new one, but the banned member, still sent nasty, vile, vulgar messages to his gmail and the group. So he is going to get his dad and the police involved. This is cyber bullying.

Any thoughts, ideas, any one had this happen to any owners or admins,as one of the admins on the group.

Thanks.

That would depend on how the database is set up.? There are several permissions that can be set at that time. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Databases

I have been asked by one of my group members to supply links for going digest and no mail on the group, am I write in thinking you do this from the help e-mail address?

Yes. They can send an email to YourGroupName+help and they will be sent a list of the available email commands.

Or you can point them to this section of the Help page:

It's a total storage limit and most of the time it is photos that are
oversized that are the culprits. Many, maybe a majority of internet
users do not crop or reduce the size of photos. In groups.io you can
put a limit on the size of photos embedded in messages or loaded into
files and photo sections. An actual size limit would be more useful as
photo types, bitmap vs. jpeg, also makes a big difference. Set up photo
size limits for photos and photos in messages (I set the latter for
about 500x500, only 25% the size of storage allowed in the photos
section).
