Weird stuff going on! I just had a member contact me that her email address is in the footer of every email I have been sending to the group. I did not put her email in the footer messages. Her email address is not there in the admin settings for the footer messages. It is so weird! Has anyone ever had this happen before? She has an AOL email address. Would that have anything to do with it?? Any help or ideas would be much appreciated! Thank you so much!

Hi Lena!

groups.io uses only one outbound server (a SMTP proxy): 66.175.222.12

Thanks, I was kind of wondering about that but wasn't sure.

I don't know enough about modern systems configuration (and all the available edge devices) to guess whether that can remain true as Groups.io grows.

Ken,

Hi Mark,

Mark Fletcher is not a member of GMF, this is a user-to-user group.

I received the "due to IP reputation" message and they referenced IP
66.175.222.12 ( web01.groups.io )
Which I tried pinging, but received timeouts.

It is pretty normal for servers on the internet to turn off echo (ping) support as a partial defense against DDoS attacks.

lev,

For example, the most recent message is from "bikelots!", so I copy
that from the screen and paste it into the search box, but nothing
comes up.

The search finds message content, not the sender's name.

To look for messages from a specific person find a message from that person and used "All Posts By This Member" in the More menu. Or, find the person in the group's Directory (if available).

How do I search for messages?

While I would have assumed that I should click on search, enter the search term, and click on the submit button, that is not working. For example, the most recent message is from "bikelots!",?so I copy that from the screen and paste it into the search box, but nothing comes up.?

If you tell me it takes time until the message is in the search index, so I ask how much time? I have a new group, and this user entered many messages besides this most recent one, but only one message comes up.

Thank you.

NEW: You can now change the owner of a photo album.
NEW: You can now change the owner of an individual photo.

These will be a help for groups where the moderator had to copy photos
manually, or replace photos with resized ones.

Just the other day I found this out on my group, and I thought I had discovered an unknown way to change or assign an owner to a photo album. I was so excited to share my discovery with everyone, and now Mark just blew the wind out of my sails...lol

This fix along with being able to move pictures is a big plus! Now if we could reorder pictures, and do mass deletes. ?

Starting yesterday, I found out that I'm not receiving any emails from
Groups.io when a new topic or reply of a topic I followed has been
posted to one of the groups I've subscribed to.

Or, it could be this:

[beta] Outlook/Hotmail delivery issue

Supanut,

Groups.io when a new topic or reply of a topic I followed has been
posted to one of the groups I've subscribed to.

Go to your Subscription page for that group and have a look in your Email Delivery History tab to see if you can learn whether those messages were in fact sent out. If so, the most recent should show in either the Successful or Unsuccessful box.

If Unsuccessful, the box should tell you why.

Make note of the dates of any listed Successful or Unsuccessful messages. If there's a more recent message that should have fit your following rules yet is missing from these lists then that may indicate a problem that should be reported to [email protected].

I just checked in my subscription setting, and it is set to receiving
individual emails, the first message in a post box was also ticked.

Presumably you've selected "Following Only" (in the Advanced Preferences), as otherwise the "First Message Also" box wouldn't be meaningful.

June,

i sent invites out and 2 members with Hotmail and one with MSN email
addresses are flagged with that message.
How do I fix it so they can be part of the group?

If you mean that the invites themselves bounced, wait a while (not sure if that's hours or days) and try the invitation again. The message said it was a temporary rate limit, so they may eventually get through.

But: until HotMail/MSN (and probably Outlook and any other Microsoft-owned email services) decide to whitelist that Groups.io outbound server, and all Groups.io's other outbound servers, members using those services may find that they do not receive all messages from the group. Leading to dissatisfaction.

Hopefully this is a transient condition and Groups.io will eventually get on Microsoft's "good" list.

It could be that the messages are off to members but wasn't the transfer email set to moderator The it should have been able to see the messages. I am not going to?dwell on it because any messages that were in the?Y group were of no use to anyone because they were signature tag offers which long expired. ? If I was going to transfer another group of mine it would be the same thing - a tag group. I will not be transferring any of my sharing groups as the group is an email group and any shares that are made need to be viewed via email and not messages or archives. ? Hugs Ilene? ? ? ? ?

Hi all,
Starting yesterday, I found out that I'm not receiving any emails from Groups.io when a new topic or reply of a topic I followed has been posted to one of the groups I've subscribed to. Yesterday I posted a reply to a topic in that group, and I didn't receive any emails, normally after I posted a reply I would receive an email about the reply that I've posted.
I just checked in my subscription setting, and it is set to receiving individual emails, the first message in a post box was also ticked.
I wonder what's going on here.

Is this something all members can do or only the moderators?

Over 100 Million users in over 10 Million groups, in its heyday - around a decade ago. That was posted on the Groups Team blog at one point.

Holy Mother of God.? Someone dropped the ball.? That is a huge audience for advertisers.? I think Yahoo?must have gotten just too big and too unwieldy to manage.? I just have no explanation as to why you?would not tend that like a baby.? That is the Fatted Calf for a company, to draw advertisers.?

The calendar redesign of 2012 was the beginning of the end from my point of view, but the 2013 "Neo" redesign looms large for many folks, and then the steady withdrawal of support since then.

Neo was the death knell.? The old platform needed to be rewritten - there were holes in the dyke too large to plug,?and it was teetering on complete failure.? I don't think there was serious forethought to investing in resources to?manage the platform as it aged, and they didn't take care of their developers, so they all left (the most obvious?being Mark).? My personal experience:? Companies that do not value or take care of their human resources are not?healthy, and will eventually suffer dire consequences.? Yahoo is just one of many.? I've worked for companies that sold out to a holding company that did not value the FTE.? Those companies ended up becoming shells of their former selves.? The good employees left.? Such shortsightedness is headshaking to me.

Plus there's this mystery intriguing me:


Hilarious if it were... Oath. But he might not cite them with "excitement" so much as dread. So probably better (for all concerned) if it is someone willing to spend money.

Hah.? Interesting.? If it were, that would be the ULTIMATE karma for Mark, would it not?? Will be very interesting to see he that might be, will be watching.

Thanks.? June

Don,

If you happen to have a test group set up that includes subgroups (or
already know the answer), would you be willing to try something and
let me know what happens?

I'm willing to let you tell us what happens:

The primary group is restricted, the subgroup is not.

What's the result? Is the user subscribed to only the main group, or
both the main group and the subgroup?

I think I'd prefer the latter (done in one step), but it wouldn't surprise me to find that you're directed to the subscription flow for the primary group.

Patty,

Re: [GMF] How to Transfer a Yahoo Group, but Reduce the Photos Section
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/9085

... that had, at one time, about 3 million users (or more, possibly).

Over 100 Million users in over 10 Million groups, in its heyday - around a decade ago. That was posted on the Groups Team blog at one point.

That's a LOT of advertising eyeballs they are willing to ignore, and I
find that inexplicable from my business/marketing experience.

No doubt there has been considerable attrition since its heyday. Is that too understated?

The calendar redesign of 2012 was the beginning of the end from my point of view, but the 2013 "Neo" redesign looms large for many folks, and then the steady withdrawal of support since then.

Groups.io has picked up a couple million users, many of them recently, and that's nothing to sneeze at. Probably not all of them came from Yahoo Groups, but it wouldn't surprise me if the vast majority did. So that may be some measure of the residual "eyeballs" Y!Groups has discarded already.

I wonder if there's anyone at Yahoo/Oath/Verizon tracking the activity stats and noticing a trend... From the sound of things, probably not.

Plus there's this mystery intriguing me:


Hilarious if it were... Oath. But he might not cite them with "excitement" so much as dread. So probably better (for all concerned) if it is someone willing to spend money.

I sent a note about this to Support, and here's what they said:

It looks like Facebook changed their URL structure a bit for data returned from their API. For your page, we used to get entries with URLs like:?



Yesterday, it appears they switched to using your pageid instead. The same entry now comes back as:



We use the URL as a key indicator whether an entry is new or not. Perhaps I need to look into a secondary indicator, such as a hash.
