I am still locked out of my own group.

 

Is there anyway a group member can wrest control of a 'headless' group
and then let me bascn in again. All of my posts are backlogged awaiting
the approval of a modderator/administrator... (Hey that's me)


Renaming and reusing names of subgroups

 

Hi -
?
I want to take an existing subgroup "xyz" and rename it "xyz-2025".? And then create a new subgroup with the name "xyz".? Am I able to re-use the name for a new subgroup, after I've renamed the original subgroup something else?
?
Now:? subgroup "xyz"
Future:? "xyz" becomes "xyz-2025" and new subgroup is "xyz"
?
TIA, Cal

You can export the messages as an mbox file. It's somewhat readable "as is" in a text editor.

Some folks have been successful importing that using Lena's Perl script. I am not one of them, although I admit I didn't try very hard. It takes awhile to run, because it reposts them to the [sub]group under your name, 40 messages per hour. I don't know how successful groups.io is rebuilding the database from that (threading them back into topics, making things searchable, etc.).
?
In the past, Mark has sometimes imported messages for someone in return for paying for a year of Premium ($220).
?
Another option is to import it as a folder in your email client. Several common clients have that capability. Having done that, you can print them all out as one long PDF and put it in your Files area. That's what I did with several groups when Yahoo Groups shut down. A caveat: I think you may be overestimating the utility of those old messages. I have no evidence that anyone has ever downloaded those PDF files, much less read them.?
?
Hope this helps,
Bruce

I'd suggest that the first thing you do is ask the owner if he'd make you a mod with all privileges.? Then you can export the entire group to save it on your computer.? If he's going to hold off awhile, you could contact support@... to see if Mark would be willing to "move" the messages directly to a subgroup for you.? Barring that, you may be able to import the messages yourself using Lena's script once you've got the messages, if it still exists.? Keep in mind that using the script will cause all messages imported to be credited to you.

Import content from a groups.io group that's closing?

 

A Mac User group that had been using the free groups.io interface is closing its doors.? I'm in a sister group that is absorbing some of its members.? Our group has a professional groups.io account and we would like to archive some of the closing group's message content in our account.? The closing group has messages and one subgroup.? We'd like to archive the main group's messages and bring the subgroup message content into one of our extant subgroups.?
?
Can we do that, and if so how?

Hi Maggie,
?
Is it possible that you are looking at the members in a sub-group? Just wondering as the membership list can differ.

Re: Questions about ADMIN of group

 

Hi Maggie,
I had a look at your group, and also applied for membership. So you as the group owner should receive that membership request. this is just to try and help you with your member list.
Questions regarding your member list:
- how do you access groups.io and your group - web browser on PC or Mac, or the groups.io app on a mobile phone? I¡®m excluding email, as in that way you couldn¡®t see a list of members anyway.
- do you see the ?admin¡° heading on the left hand side of the screen?
if you see ?admin¡° and are selecting the ?members¡° item underneath that, I assume you receive a list with just 1 item. Are you sure that the ?search¡° box above the list is empty (and no leftover blanks are in it!)? Just in case try to clear it and click/tap on the search icon again.
The home page of your group says that it has 48 members - so you should be able to see them, unless you accidentally clicked on the ?bulk remove¡° heading under ?membership¡°.
?
Kind regards
Thomas

That's a sign that the member is pending, so you'll only see pending members.? (That's the default view if you choose Members and there are any pending.)? As others have said, remove the filter and all will be well.

Re: Questions about ADMIN of group

 

Is it possible you have inadvertently filtered the list of members?? If they are still receiving messages then it would seem they are indeed still members.

?

Click the FILTER button above the member list and be sure to scroll all the way down to make sure no filters are set.

Thank you so much Frances!

First, I already am using the same email I used to set up the listserve, and it recognizes me as the owner,?with the correct email.

Second, I can't see the list of members anymore, somehow it got deleted when I added one more member, and I ended up with 1 member,?not 48.? I know they are all still getting the notices, but I can't see the names. So I can't choose someone to act as 2nd? Owner or ADMIN. The list is GONE!

HELP! I really need this list!

First, if you can't see Admin, Members on your group homepage, likely you aren't logging in with your correct email address.?
?
Second, you can add a second owner or a moderator by going to Admin, Members. Find the right member, click to open the record. Then in User Details, use the dropdown menu for Role. Pick the role you want. Scroll down and save.

If you choose moderator only, you have to make choices. You might want to make the person an owner. The person can do everything except remove you as owner. The Help gives you details.?

Re: Group Sponsorship - displaying the amount collected?

 

This actually a very good idea. I have just done that, was easy. We did not yet use the wiki, so this was the first time in that section.?

You might like to try the standalone Wordweb software: rather than use the Microsoft Store app. It operates "offline" - i.e. no links. The dictionaries are built-in and there is more functionality, even in the free version.

There's no feature that would display the amount to members that I am aware of. You could always create a Wiki page and make it sticky which would cause the details to be displayed at the top of the Topics page. I use this feature to display various announcements to members without posting messages.

Group Sponsorship - displaying the amount collected?

 

Hi,
?
I have just recently converted my group from payed via my credit card to be payed by the group sponsorship function. This worked rather well, the members now nearly have 4 to 5 years of premium membership sponsored. I would like to display that somewhere. I know I can see that value as group admin in the billing section, but I think the members should be able to decide if more sponsorship is needed just before hitting the button. Is there anything I missed or is this a feature request?

Thanks,

I installed the free Grammerly on my laptop and the free Grammerly keyboard on my iOS devices. ?I¡¯m sure there are more sophisticated checkers and the Grammarly paid version but what I installed works well for what I need ?

Tapping and holding the 'link' icon has no effect. I don't get the options to open, copy or share the link that you showed on iOS. Mark has said on the Beta>App subgroup that he's working on a new version of the app so I'll raise this on that group.
