Now, (wish, wish) if we only had the ability to edit the owner for photo albums. The Yahoo group transfer process was not successful at bringing over folder owner names. I can't see any settings that would pertain to this. Perhaps some default permission for Group Owner/Moderator to change the ownership of the folder.

I've done the multiple memberships with different permissions for Years. (At Y!)

Moving on... (About editing.)
In 1989, FDR (First Data Resources) a major Credit Card Processor experimented
with allowing merchants to edit transactions "after the fact" but before their batch closings
were sent -- generally at close of business for the day.
It created chaos and confusion (mistakes happened before or after) and allowed fraud.
Nothing was trackable.

QuickBooks (by Intuit) allowed similar edits 'Company File wide' (which is reasonable)
but allowed the audit trail file to be turned off. (So no record of who did what or when.)
It is unlikely they did CC merchant accounts at that time so that is unrelated.
(I was an Online-Banking Beta Tester, Nebula ver5 all the way to last build 93. 1996)
(I'm in EasterEgg.)

Getting back to how this relates to Group actions:
Allowing edits with no re-sends is a slippery slope. (The above samples are very condensed.)
I like the warning normal Group members get that re-sends are going to be done and to
not abuse that feature. (And how the WEB archives auto deletes the original message.)

Having said all that, the way the WEB site can and does change the old messages
dynamically and in real-time (like adding your picture to ALL messages later, in hindsight,)
is very cool...

Maria,

There are several online sites that can change image files to svg. For example, you can select this png file ( /img/org.1/mainlogo.png?) and have it converted to an svg file such as this. Of course, it would look better when the background is not white.

Norm,

I am pretty sure you are referring to the comment I made in a previous post. Happy to hear that it worked.

However, I have also been following your quest to transfer a group from Yahoo to groups.io. Are these two different instances? You've said in other posts that no members have yet joined the group that you are in the process of transferring. Was your question about missing email about a different groupsio group or was it an issue on the Yahoo group you are transferring?

Many of us create a separate 'member' account on our groups so we can see and test this sort of thing.? Might minimize the surprises later.

See, this is one of those undocumented things that I never run across because I own all of the groups that I participate in. I guess I need to incrementally take away my own privileges and see what other surprises are in store...or create a second member account as Duane suggested.

Thanks Duane!

You can rename a group any time you want. It's not advisable to do so because it confuses people and their email client. It's when you delete a group that you can't reuse the name unless you can get it freed up by contacting support.

A reminder that when you rename a group or subgroup, that any instructions, intro letter, etc., do not automatically correct to the new name. You need to recheck everything.

Please note the distinction between the Members list and the Directory. The former is under the Admin section and is used to edit permissions, subscription info and to send private communications. The latter is a semi-public place to identify group members and share profile information.

This may be obvious to you but perhaps not to your friend in Germany. It is frequent source of confusion in discussions of this nature.

Hope this helps,

We're a group of 150 retired men. The wife of one member got her husband in.
Neither I nor any of the ten members I had dinner with last night received that email. But those who have are confused.

Something a little less complex would be an improvement!

No matter how convenient it is made, emails will still be going out with the original, "wrong" subject line.?

The same is true with the message editing option, only worse...someone posts a message, it immediately goes out, only to have the original poster edit it so the content is different from what everyone previously got. In this case the poster/editor has the option to re-send to the group, but many of them don't, leading to confusion.*

You can achieve Facebook-like behavior by doing what Facebook does...set everybody to "no email" and force your subscribers to read things on the web.?It's either that, or moderate all posts and send back the noncompliant ones.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

*I might actually allow message editing if there was a configuration option to disable "no resend,"?

Members Visibility is set to "Owners and Moderators with the correct permissions",

I figured out my wife's deal before I read your last line in your first Email. She as owner had only 3 permissions set before I changed her to "Moderator". BUT, one of those was "Set Moderator Privileges". I didn't realize "Privileges" equated to "Permissions". I took off the check mark and voila the list went away. Why can't "Privileges" be "Permissions"?

But I still have Bart's problem. Not only do I "Save" any changes I go back to "Members" and re-enter the member's profile to be sure it "took". I'm too new not to. Bart is in Germany and I am in California (yes it is late here) so I'll have him log in anew to see if all is better.

Thanks! I'll be back if he still doesn't have access.

Shal,

Could not the 'split', then 'merged' (i.e., merged) topic keep the same name (or mostly the same name) but be distinguished from the orignal topic by using a hashtag on the original topic to set it a part from the moved message that was split off?

Or does that still leave a partial problem?

Just curious . . .

Hi there,

We're in the process of replacing all the Yahoo references on our website with Groups.io now that we've switched. We have a Y! icon in the footer, which now needs to be replaced with the Groups.io envelope icon. Is there an SVG of this available? Or only the PNG that is in use here on the Groups.io website?

Thank you!

Norm,

Here's the thing. I did not give anyone the name of the new site.
The email that Groups.io sent out had the name,
...
Thank you for your interest in the ... group at Groups.io.

Ok, that message is not associated with a group transfer. That's the confirmation message generated for a web Join or email +Subscribe request.

In any event, only some of my 150 members received that email.

It would seem that somehow those 150 members became aware of the Groups.io group and took action themselves to join it.

But I'm a little puzzled that 150 would receive that, yet only one managed to join? That would seem to imply that the other 149 ignored that messages and instead contacted you.

Very strange

Indeed. None of my group transfers were beset by these sorts of mysteries. But then, those groups weren't very active at the time I transferred them. And numbered only a few hundred members each.

Frances,

Could it be IP address?

Nah, if IP addresses mattered to web sessions there'd be immense problems with household, library, campus, and corporate networks that concentrate their users through a single router, almost always presenting a single IP address to the web site.

I wonder what happens if you try your wife’s account somewhere else?

That reminds me of a related "is it plugged in" type of question for Paul: Your wife's email address, the one whose role and permissions you changed, that was the same as your wife's email address, the one you signed into on her computer. Right?

Paul,

I set moderator Bart to “view member list” and “Set Member
Subscriptions” so he could help another member but he says the member
list is not visible.

In the Privacy section of your group's Settings page, what is Members Visible set to? If it is "Owners Only" that's the problem with Bart.

So I changed my wife from Owner to Moderator and gave her the same
permissions as Bart. Then I logged in on her computer to her
membership and looked at her membership profile AND all the
permissions are shown ...

Whenever performing tests of this sort always remember to refresh the page when you switch tabs, or windows, or browsers, or machines. Otherwise browser (or server) page caching may fool you. That said...

If the Members Visible is set to "Owners Only", then I don't understand how she can see her own Membership page. She shouldn't see the Members button in the left column at all. On the other hand, if it is set to "All Owners, and moderators with the correct permissions" then I don't understand why Bart doesn't see the list.

Assuming for the moment the latter case, if you mean that her permissions were all checked I don't have an explanation for that.

Did you change her role and uncheck her permissions in the same session with her membership page, or did you change her role first, save that, and then come back to uncheck her other permissions? If the latter is it possible you didn't save those changes?

and I was able to change any at will! Her “Role” is set to
“尘辞诲别谤补迟辞谤”.

If they were all checked that would include the permission to "Set Moderator Privileges" - which is why you would have been able to change any at will.
