Since I just transferred a group with some Yahoo! induced hiccups, I thought I would write down the steps as they make sense to me.? Perhaps this will be helpful others.

1. Start the first transfer request.
2. Note what Yahoo! didn't provide groups.io with to transfer, such as files or photos or databases or whatever.? If nothing, stop.
3. Go to /yahootransfer and in the lower right corner, it says "In Process".?
4. Select the appropriate group from the drop down to the right of "In Process".
5. Delete the current request if required.
6. Fill out the form requesting a new transfer and only check the boxes for what was missing in 2.
7. Wait for the transfer to complete.
8. Go to 2.

In other words, keep deleting the current request and re-requesting until you get everything you need.

Best,

Glenn

I sure hope there was a good reason earlier this morning, it is unacceptable not to have well publicized advance notice when groups.io will be down for maintenance.

I should also note that muting only applies to email delivery. Messages will still appear on the site.

Not entirely clear on why you would want to do this. Even if you could force a subscriber to be sent all the emails, there's no way to prove that they were even received, much less read.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

To my knowledge this is not possible; but if you don't tell anyone what this feature means, few people will bother to look into it on their own initiative.

Could you set up the other way around, make a public group and a restricted subgroup?
(If GIO lets one do that.)

Richard,

Group members only mute receipt in their own mailbox. It does not affect delivery to other members nor does it stop the appearance of the topic or posts on the group site. It allows members to manage the flow of email to their inbox.

I do suggest you disallow “no mail” as an option, if you haven’t already done so. I have also set groups I started to the options that send only the first email in a thread and then allow members to opt into (“follow”) a topic.

Monday I did a direct add to our group ?( nbtpchoir ) and received confirmation that it was approved and individuals would be notified. However there are still no individual members added. Does it normally take this long?

Thank You?

I found a Universal .css file that has the classes you can use to format your wiki pages. It is now available in files as bootstrap.min.css, for those of you who know css. You cannot edit the css source but you van use what's listed.

Hi,

I have just created my first group and wish to be able to switch off a
member's ability to mute a topic as this is not desirable for this private
group. Is it possible to do this, please?

I see there is a link at the bottom of each message to allow this but, to
date, haven't been able to find a way of either disabling it or editing the
footer to remove the link!

Thanks for any advice

Richard Bartholomew

How do I close out a poll??

I presume you mean that the image did not persist in the Description body after you saved the edit.

I didn't get a chance to save the edit. As soon as I released the mouse button, Chrome rendered the image in the browser window and displayed its path and filename in the address bar. Maybe holding down CTRL or ALT or something would work...didn't try it.

The <img> tag does work, as long as your store the file somewhere on the web?(e.g. a photo album in your group)?and refer to it by URL.

Oops. The repository of files and photos in your group may not be the best place after all.?Be sure to store the images somewhere that is publicly accessible.?I logged out of groups.io...and the photo I'd just added to our Description now appears as a broken link.?

According to all the documentation, and other's experience, you must be a member of the parent group before you can join a subgroup there.

I own a restricted group with private archives. This group has a subgroup which has public archives, no moderation and an open membership. Could anyone., especially not a member of the parent group,? join it and post messages despite the parent group having restricted membership and private archives?
