You will be once you get transferred. Be patient, it will happen.

Yes you really are.

Not sure why you think a email service dedicated to voluntary groups is any place to ask telco questions.

Go to your telco and complain about the calls you receive. Each and every one.
They will do nothing to block them unless you complain and frequently.
You don't need to know the number- telcos log every call because they either charge for them, or ARE CHARGED for them terminating on their network. IF they (call takers) say anything else they are lying.

Then call/ contact the FCC complaints and register your complaint with them as well.

Next, you may change your number (telco may do that free IF they are sympathetic/ customer oriented) or move to another telco (that will at your expense) but only way to avoid calls once you are on someones call-list, if necessary. Don't have call forwarding enabled- it will only exacerbate the problem.

I am not in US but 20+ years experience in large telcos and account operations. And they all operate the same.
Experiences may vary, best of luck

Re: Down for Maintenance Notice

 

I think the optimum answer here is to post a suggestion on the beta group, as has been mentioned before.? Mark doesn't monitor this group, so none of this discussion will accomplish anything unless a suggestion is made that Mark will see.? That group was started on Sept 29 2014 so that Mark could interact with the group owners and moderators that had already found the site and were investigating it as a possible replacement for YahooGroups.? He intended to change the name of that group when the site came out of beta mode, but it's sort of like an old friend now.

As an aside, I'd suggest that everyone remember that groups.io was launched on Sept 23 2014.? Some of us were around then or shortly after that and have seen huge improvements and additions.? I feel that it's an excellent service for a 3 year old! ;>)? There's some history at https://wingedpig.com/2014/09/23/introducing-groups-io/

Re: I AM COMPLETELY LOST

 

You need to see if there's a group that covers things like that, /search?p=SubsCount,,,20,2,0,0? Those of us on this group are owners and moderators of various groups.

Re: Where do I go to suggest change?

 

The beta group is the official suggestion box for the site, ? That's where you make a suggestion for an improvement or additional features.

Mark quite often posts there when he is working on a specific area/feature/function and needs feedback on it.

Re: closing out a poll

 

Locking the topic doesn't close the poll, folks can still vote.? In order to close it, you go to the poll, then Edit Poll, then select Close Poll below it.

Re: Transfer queue wait time

 

Hi,

I recently completed 2 transfers so have some recent experience here.
There are some manual steps that are needed to be completed by one person (Mark).
There is a backlog of requests, somewhere around 300-400 but there is no transfer queue page that gives you visibility to where you are in the queue.
I would allow 2 weeks for your request to get to the top of the queue.
Once Mark picks your group up for transfer it happens quickly. You will get a email requesting you make the groups.io email a moderator on your group and then you click a button in the email and it will happen in 24 hours.

YMMV

HI,

When I create or reply to a topic by sending an email and I have inline (embedded) images in the email I send, those images show up inline on the Web interface as well as in the emails members receive which is exactly how it should be.??

My question is how do i insert an inline graphic when creating a new topic or replying to an old one using the Web Interface?

Why not a banner saying "SYSTEM MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS" instead of cats?

I knew about the down time so sent a special notice to my groups letting them know about the down time. I hope hey remembered as I was asleep when it happened.

Indeed there was, but from a poll on "my" Group it is only a minority of users who use the web interface "regularly"; the majority (78%) never use the web interface or only do so "occasionally". If this is typical across all groups then the greater majority would have had no warning of the break in service. In some respects it becomes a case of leading the horse to water but being unable to force it to drink...

I AM COMPLETELY LOST

[email protected]
 

I am willing to make a PayPal donation. I know virtually nothing about the terminology used on this site. I can tell that this? site DOES have the information I would like have. Hopefuilly someone can direct me to the information I need. My problem:? I am? being driven crazy with the amount of robocalls and similar. Changing my number does very little good. My idea: Find an exchange in Colorado that is a NEW exchange and hence would probably have the great majority of numbers in the "never used" category. Verizon said I could change my number to anything I wish. Which page on this site do I go to that will show NEW exchanges started within the last 90- days oir so. Area Code should be 970. Any help would be MOST appreciated. This situation is truly maddening and I am hoping and praying for some sort of relief from these robocaller jerks.Can you help me?
Where do I go to suggest change?

Generally agree, but the mechanism to do so is unclear. Note also the recent thread in beta from a group owner who doesn't want his members enrolled in the Updates group, because it amounts to over-communicating system issues.

Unfortunately, making everybody happy does not seem to be an achievable goal.

All the more reason to keep the number of people doing any given job in check.

If reviewing and approving messages/users is something that you don't do, simply turn off that notification in your Subscription settings ("Email when there are messages needing approval", "Email when there are members needing approval", etc.).

Even then, the recipient could set up an email filter. You're trying to control something that is not in your control anyway.
