Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?

This has been VERY high on my personal wishlist for a long time. It's a glaring hole, especially with respect to Yahoo. On Sat, May 28, 2016 at 5:08 AM, HR Tech via Groups.io <m.conway11@...> wrote:

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?

This is odd. I can search Istanbul and get results, no clue if it is all or some of the posts with this word, Maria does not find anything. It may be that the search is finding the word only from the heading and not the body of the text as all the messages found a search of Istanbul have the name in the heading or title of the post. Put your name in the heading such as From Maria: and see if this allows a search of what you have posted that way. Since you group is apparently not public, you cannot use Google to search the contents of messages on your group. Seeking only comes up once in a search of that word on your list and I suspect that word has been used many more times in the posts of your group.

Re: repeat of original post in replies (not deliberately quoted)
Thank you Shal. We don't have enough test users in our test group to see if there is a pattern yet... but i am pleased that groups.io seems to handle it better than other services we use/have used. Whatever Mark has done so far seems to be working better than elsewhere. Maria

Re: repeat of original post in replies (not deliberately quoted)
Maria,
I am wondering if others here have managed to figure out what theThere are several factors at work - which is why it is inconsistent. First is the user's email interface: different interfaces use different "styles" of distinguishing the quoted material. In plain text there's a reasonably strong convention of word-wrapping the quoted lines slightly shorter than the normal lines, then inserting a marker such as "> " at the beginning of each line - as I've done in this message. In HTML message formats indentation is often used, sometimes together with a vertical bar on the left. Some we see in the pending message - but once approved - they nicelyIn the pending list the message is shown to you pretty much "as received". But when displayed in the Messages section the system attempts to detect and hide trailing "bottom-quotes" and provide an expander ("..." button) to let you see them if you want. In the digest it simply omits them. But I am seeing on the @beta group that every now and then posts comeI've noticed that too, and I think it must be that sometimes the user's email interface formatted the quote in a way that escaped Groups.io's detection. It seems to happen most with HTML formatted messages. Wondering in those instances in which this happens if there is aI haven't looked but it is possible that there's a correlation with specific email interfaces that those members use. But whether the user can do anything to change it I don't know. I suspect that in most cases the only thing the member could do would be vigilance in trimming the quotes. Shal |

Shal, I'll let you run with the ball if you want to suggest the combo on beta. ;) J On Sun, May 22, 2016 at 4:31 PM, Shal Farley <shals2nd@...> wrote: J, |
repeat of original post in replies (not deliberately quoted)
I am wondering if others here have managed to figure out what the pattern is with original posts being carried over in replies? Some we see in the pending message - but once approved - they nicely disappear in the web interface and the digest. But I am seeing on the @beta group that every now and then posts come through with the entire original post underneath the reply. I know this happens in Y! groups a bit and with other listservs but am seeing it's very much better here on groups.io. Wondering in those instances in which this happens if there is a common cause and if as mods there is anything we can do to educate those members to whom this happens so that we can reduce the amount of duplicate carry over of the OP in replies. Thank you! Maria |
Re: Special notices
J,
I personally wish Groups.io would automatically append a "specialGood idea. Maybe also an automatically applied #hashtag in the subject line, such as the calender events have. Shal |
Re: Special notices
Frances,
If someone gets a digest, would they get a Special Notice message rightYes, I just checked that in my shalstest@. It may also arrive in the digest, I won't know about that until later. Shal |
Re: Special notices
J_Olivia Catlady
It sounds like you unticked it. I personally wish Groups.io would automatically append a "special notice" banner at the top of special notice messages. It would make things easier for the moderators and also provide an explanation to members of why they're getting a message when they're on digest of special notices. I might suggest it in beta.

Re: Special notices
Thanks.
I did look at the two ¡°special notice¡± members and they hadn¡¯t received anything. So either it became unticked by my error - I was writing instructions about using the site so I was opening parts of the site in different windows) OR the members were never properly changed automatically to Special Notice when I blocked ¡°No Mail¡± subscriptions. It says they are ¡°special¡± but maybe they aren¡¯t¡. Maybe still No Mail? Frances |
Re: Special notices
J_Olivia Catlady
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIt's all working for me. To check (not using the log) if a special notice got sent, you can go into a special notices member and check their email delivery history. Yes, I sent a notice this morning. It hog logged thst way in my activity log and was received by a special notice member. Digest members would not receive it until the digest goes out. I haven't ?double checked that but I'm fairly sure. Sent from my iPhone On May 22, 2016, at 1:16 PM, Frances <travel@...> wrote:

Re: Special notices
The message went but not as "special notice", I guess. I see My husband has digest and he didn't get it.?In Activity, the message only appears in Message Activity without any note about special notice, but not in Moderator Activity or Member Activity.?It could have got unticked by error. Abut a couple of questions before I resend it - If someone gets a digest, would they get a Special Notice message right away? I would assume so. It should override their delivery options and deliver the message immediately (or immediately as possible!) I just recently changed my settings so that there was no "no mail" option. The two who had been "special notices only" got changed in the members list to "special notices only". Perhaps that isn't working. Has anyone sent a Special Notice recently and noticed its behaviour?
