Can you still receive mail on your old address?? If so, we may be able to get you going again.

Re: Change my email, multiple groups

 

Truth be told, the problem is that Yahoo made it so bloody convoluted to change your email. When Mark was developing groups.io, he intentionally made it very simple. Just go into your account and change your email shown and save that. It's like changing license plates on a car - you don't sell the car first, you just change that tag. But people are so used to having to go to all kinds of trouble that they don't comprehend just how simply it's done.

I would contact the other group owners in your groups through the group-owners email addresses to see if they are around. (The addresses are on the homepage of each group.
Say what you plan to do. Ask them to promote you to owner again.

To change your email address, you MUST figure out some way to first log in under the old one. That's the only way can ensure you're the account owner.
?
If you can't do that, you're stuck.
?
Did you create a password under the old address? If so, you can log in using that, or try using one of the social media logins. /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/understanding-groups-io-accounts/logging-in-to-your-account?
?
Failing that, you'll simply have to create new subscriptions using your new address and petition those group admins to remove the old one. You will lose "ownership" of content you provided earlier, but that cannot be helped.

Sorry,

photos I want to remove
Go to each photo and open it.? Click Edit below it, click Delete Photo at the lower right, then confirm.? If you want to delete all the photos in an album, you can just go to the album and select Delete Album at the top.

Since you've already created a new account, you wouldn't be able to change the address on the old one, only merge the accounts.? That's not recommended if you own groups.? Unfortunately, you'll be stuck joining all your groups with the new account (and then removing the old one).

Thanks all;; that wasx what I expected but needed to confirm.? I find Google AI a PITA...I have to customize my interface to deprecate the AI crap.
Re: Is there a way to limit how many posts a member can make in a day?

You can determine your own rules for the group.?
If it's only a few folks why not just a warning from the owner, strike three then they are not allowed to post? (¡±Decision is solely at the discretion of the owner.¡±)

Unfortunately, the documentation is sadly behind changes made in the last few months.? Look in Admin > Preferences.? Whether they're available or not depends on when the group was created.

Google AI says there is:
===================================
Yes, on Groups.io, you can limit the number of posts a member can make by adjusting the group's "Message Policies" settings, which allows you to set restrictions like a maximum number of posts per day or a specific time period between posts.?
?
?
How to do it:
  • Access Group Settings: Go to your group's settings page on Groups.io.
  • Navigate to Message Policies: Within the settings, find the "Message Policies" section.
  • Set Limits: Here you can set rules like limiting the number of posts per day, requiring a certain amount of time between posts, or other moderation options.?
    ?
====================================
?
BUT I cannot find those controls.? This is in reference to a small 77 member free group.? We have a few people who can't seem to control themselves, worse get uncivil about it.? Don't want to deal with moderation
?
RSS feed integration ¡ª how?

 

I¡¯d like to integrate an RSS feed with my group, so that new posts on the feed are sent to the group. The documentation says to to the left panel and select Admin -> Integrations.

/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-integrations-with-outside-services/feed-integrations

I do not see that link.?



Is it still possible to integrate RSS with a ?group? If so, how? Is this a feature that has been deprecated, or is only avaialble to paid plans?

Thanks,?
Re: Message with JPG attachment saves attachment as WEBP in Message Archives

 

Bruce asked:
Are you sure the original was really a JPG? I've seen a lot of "JPEGS" on the internet that were actually WEBP files with a JPG file extension.
Yes. Irfanview notifies me if a file is misidentified and asks if I want to rename it. Also when the moderator replaced the WEBP file with the JPG file I had reposted he didn't notice anything like that either.
