Re: Problem with links in emails from Yahoo email users

Peter DeNardis
 

Here's what my settings are at...trying to strike a balance between allowing folks to post messages via email, but also thwart any potential spam/hack attempts.? Should I check "Normalize" and un-check "plain text only"?

?

Resizing of photos

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Duane,

?

o.k., I did what you told me. The stored information tells the same story, that indeed the photo has not been resized, it has the same numbers as the displayed size. So why is that? In my eyes this means resizing doesn?t really work, (or am I completely confused yet?;>)

I think the numbers you see are the displayed size.? Click on the photo to view it, then click on the Download button.? On the resulting page, right click it to get the stored info

?Yes, my mistake.? You go to the poll, then Edit Poll, then select Close Poll below it.

Re: Directory #directory

That's very weird. But these kinds of anomalies are basically why I've disabled the directory. (I also never use subgroups...)

so there must be something else going on to explain that... your explanation that other members need to have enabled "other members of your group" to show up, doesn't explain why 1 sees all 8, and another 1 sees only 3.

Re: Anyone have samples of letters sent to your group before and after transferring to io

 

Hi Linda,

I've attached the Word & pdf format letter I sent as a Special Notice and the Word & pdf format on how to login to create a password. The login & create a password is specific to my group but feel free to use it and explain the difference.

I don't think many people used the login/create password because it is pretty straight forward.

You can go to the MonGenes Yahoo Group to see the text we added. I couldn't change the banner, another blessing from Verizon/Yahoo.

Hope this helps,
Paul, Ohio, USA

Re: Page selection in Directory

 

That's something you should report to [email protected]? so that Mark can look into it.? This group is composed of other users, like you, and the staff doesn't monitor it as far as we know.

Page selection in Directory

 

There is a minor technical flaw in the page selection in the Directory.
At the bottom RH area, the pages can be selected with left and righ arrows.
But both arrows increase the page numbers.
The left arrow increases the pages instead of reducing the pages.
Hope this is clear enough.

Anyone have samples of letters sent to your group before and after transferring to io

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Linda,

?

this is the letter I sent beforehand. I copied the cover photo of our group on top so everyone would see at first glance where it?s coming from.

This is the text:

---
Dear member of the Yahoo-Group (name),

we want to inform you that we will be moving our group to another site in the next few weeks, because Yahoo, as you will have noticed, no longer works sufficiently well. As you know our topics are ¡­¡­..

Once the transfer is finished, you will be informed again.
The moderators and I (group owner) hope very much that you will stay with us.

Name (owner of the group) and the moderator team
---

I sent a mail to each group member (it took me quite a few hours for we had close to 600 members). By this I also found out about non-existing members, bounced mail-addresses etc. and removed them from the members list before hand.
Instead of writing another letter afterwards, I just welcomed everyone on the start page of the new group and mentioned a few things they might not know immediately.

Good luck with your group
Victoria

How on earth does one end a poll and publish it to one's Group?

Re: Resizing of photos

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Duane, sorry, but I still don?t really get it. Just one example: I put photo settings to 140x140, then I uploaded a photo. When I do a right click to get foto info, it says: Size: 221,24 KB (226.552 Byte); Measures: 526px ¡Á 720px (resized to 240px ¡Á 328px).

?

So where do I find that maximum size which I?ve set it to?

Victoria

That confused me a little when it was first introduced.? I finally figured out that the photos are displayed at a slightly different size than they're saved at.? What you see when viewing depends on the device you're using to view.? If you download the photo, it will be at the maximum size you've set, so is stored properly.

Re: Directory #directory

 

In Account Profile, Identity, each member can decide on their settings.
"You can customize your profile for each group you are subscribed to. Changes made to your account profile will automatically apply to each group profile, with the exception of those specific fields in each group profile that you've previously customized."

Re: Directory #directory

 

Moderators will be able to see everyone.? Members will only be able to see other members that have enabled "Other members of your group".? It's easy for a moderator to forget to set this since they can see them all anyway.

Directory #directory

 

I'm talking here about the Directory, not the member list under the Admin button.

In Admin settings, I have the member directory setting set to "subscribers"
A member, not a moderator, has his profile privacy setting (under his Subscription, Group Profile, Edit Group Profile) set to "Other members of your group".? A moderator has the same setting in his account.

Why is it that the member can only see 3 others including himself (I currently have 8 testing the group, 3 moderators and 5 "members"); whereas the moderators can see all 8 in Directory

Any clue what I'm clearly missing?? Obviously (?) there is something unique on the 3 that are showing, and the other 5 that are not, but darn if i see it...
