So if I "like" a message post, it shows that i've "liked" it; dumb question probably, but where else is it reflected, is there a cumulative number of likes displayed somewhere or exactly what is the purpose of that feature (other than to tell my forgetful sell that at some point in the past i liked the post)

Just as a data-point, in our 376 member group, we have 91 members using Y! email accounts.? None of them are bouncing.? That said, our group is very low volume, typically one or two messages a week.

I"m guessing that since Verizon purchased Yahoo, everybody with a shred
of technical expertise has found employment elsewhere.

My group began as -- and continues to be -- a collaboration site for a non-profit organization. As such, our migration to GIO has done little to increase or decrease the number of subsribers, as membership in the parent organization is a requirement for using the collaboration site.

If the goal is to increase group size there are tools here to do that under Admin->Promote. However, it's my experience that a large fraction of any such group will not actively participate, and I'd prefer to have 20 people who post regularly than 20,000 lurkers.

Just some thoughts,
Bruce

Topic and message views have different URLs.

Bookmark?/g/[GROUPNAME]/messages?and it will take you to your desired view with a mouseclick.

Marina I don't think they need to delete their email account. All they have to do is go to iogroups and reactivate the bounce. I did that yesterday and now my email is fine. ? I decided I don't want to get rid of my yahoo email. I will just watch if I bounce. ? You can just tell your members to go to the iogroups and make sure they are not bouncing. ? Anita

I think that Shal posted how a member can reset their bounce but I've lost that and wonder if there is a way for me, the owner, to do a reset? I took the list of Bouncing members on Groups.io and posted that to my group via Yahoo Groups. At least one got through because I've received an email from her. I need to tell her how to reset her Bounce.

Sort of...? As long as you don't use the overview page list, /, to get to your group/messages, the site will remember the last view you selected.? The overview page appears to be hard-coded for topics when you click on the group name.? Unfortunately, Topics then becomes the default view.? The Your Groups drop down does remember though.

Is there a way to set the display to default to MESSAGES instead of TOPICS?

I did an experiment this morning (in the US) on uploading photos to be resized.? I have the group set to limit them to 312x312.? The photo I uploaded was 10560x6832, 3.37MB.? A quick check of the storage used after upload showed no change, so it was definitely reduced.? On the photo overview listing of albums, right clicking showed the photo to be 720x466 resized to 307x240 and 42.7KB.? Clicking on the photo to open it in the view window shows the same information, but shows a size below it of 12.01KB.? Clicking the Download button opens the photo as stored and info shows 312x202 and 12.01 KB.

Any photos uploaded before the limit was set will still be at their original size/storage.? I hope this helps.

It's happening to a lot of people with Yahoo email addresses.?

Follow up messages sent outside of GIO may or may not get through, either.

Gotta love Yahoo!

Okay, it is possible to set it up so others can edit folder content. See attached screenshot.

Once you have that set up, click on the "copy link" button and paste that somewhere in your group.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Victoria - To let people access your Google drive, you have to create a folder and share it.?



Once you set up a link address from the sharing dialogue you can put that in your GIO group as we've discussed previously. From that point forward anything you drag into the folder should be visible to group members via clicking on the link.

I know of no way to make the folder public so others can upload to it. Perhaps someone with more experience can help you with that part.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Latest: visible groups - 5207, Poster ID - 1,904,761.? Should we start a pool on when it will hit 2,000,000? ;>)

What is this about? This is not a new member, and has not had trouble before.

Shal, thanks for the information.

The idea was to use google drive as a photo storage place easily recognizable for members on the home page and accessable for everyone without great technical knowledge. I understood now that this isn?t possible, so I just put this idea to sleep:-).

My other problem stays unsolved: Originally I wanted to use the photo section as storage place for fotos, but the resizing function doesn?t really work. And even though Duane already explained to me that the displayed size isn?t the real size, fotos still show up much bigger than they are supposed to be. And the storage counter shows MB numbers that seem to be out of context. So I havent?t figured that out yet. As long as this insecurity exists, I cannot offer this foto service to my members fearing storage space might quickly be exceded. Does anyone here have any experience with this foto resizing function?

Victoria

Thank you everybody. Sorry for asking a dumb question.
I didn't notice the small Private button at the bottom of the message.
One more information to put in my Wiki instructions for members.
