Re: How do I stop my post from ending up in my Junk Folder
Ro,? ?Sometimes links will send a message to spam folder?
When you are in your spam folder do you have an options to click accept? I do, and I never have a problem from the messenger thereafter.

Re: How do I stop my post from ending up in my Junk Folder
Hi Ro.
I found that out when I want to add my address to hotmail as a safe sender it said I was already listed there.? However I did add my own email address to my address-book to see if that makes any difference!? I guess I will find out when this gets posted!? LOL If goes into junk then even that did not work.

I know I had an account I never got that type of junk, until I opened an EBay account with that as my email, and it is different from EBay nick.

Re: How do I stop my post from ending up in my Junk Folder
MSN and Hotmail are both Microsoft products and if this I correct, I believe they now employ the Web version of Microsoft Outlook mail. You may want to consider creating a Yahoo or Gmail account or some other flavor and use it with your Groups.IO memberships. I have not had a problem with either of those going to my spam folder or in getting email from Groups.IO. I also have had no problem getting Groups.IO mail to my Temple email, which is academic until one knows that Temple University uses a Gmail corporate account for its members. Backup email accounts are valuable for many reasons and you can save aggrevation trying to educate Microsoft to the wonderful service that Groups.IO is. An alternative account is a much quicker fix and will most likely solve your email reception problem. Everyone have a great week. By the way, I also agree with how wonderful this Groups.IO service as stated in an earlier message, probably on the Beta discussion group. . .

Re: How do I stop my post from ending up in my Junk Folder
Consider creating a Gmail or Yahoo Mail account or both and join with these accounts and post with them once you have joined the lists you want to be a member of with these accounts. Make each an owner and you will have back up owner memberships as well if you are a list owner or moderator. If an account goes South, it is very good practice to have backup ownerships and memberships on lists that are important to you or that you own or moderate. I have had no spam issues with either of Gmail or Yahoo Mail with emails coming from Groups.IO. Sincerely, David Dillard Temple University (215) 204 - 4584 jwne@...

Re: How do I contact IO support
Hi Shal,
I went on and made a sub groups in my W&W group, and it shows that they have used 57% of their one gig of storage.? So that answered that question, sub groups storage is tired to parent group.? When I made my initial group, I made two other separate groups with similar names like we use to do when Yahoo had limited storage.? So I am all set when my gig is full I will move the oldest files to one of new groups and do the same with the oldest photos to other group.? I have them set as announcement only and members can view files on one photos on the other but not place anything there only read.? Also people have to be approved to get access to those groups as well.? So being on Yahoo a long time even as member before I had groups I learned how owners dealt with storage and I just applied that to IO.

Re: How do I contact IO support
Hi Shal,
I will go into Windows and made the change, I have had this issue since hotmail stopped working in outlook on other computers, and this one never had any email set up on it since I read and reply right in hotmail or groups as reply.?
Someone else sent the that it should be only .io with out the dot after I and O that was in the link.?
I asked IO that when I sent in my request that I was confirming by contacting support!? I will let the group know what IO says if subgroups have their own gig or it is shared with parent groups storage.?
I also wanted to know when they will add the database tab not have database as part of Wiki.? Again I will let the group know IO's reply as well!

Re: How do I stop my post from ending up in my Junk Folder
Dean, However I keep telling hotmail that things I post to IO are not junk,
however for over month now all my post to the groups I have on IO I find
in my Junk Box. Is there something else I should do as telling Hotmail
they are not junk is not working. You may need to contact Hotmail's customer support to figure out what's going on. Is it only messages that you posted, or all messages from your groups? If it is only your own messages it could be that Hotmail thinks there's something "spammy" about messages to you that claim to be from you - but didn't come directly from your Hotmail account. -- Shal

Re: How do I contact IO support
Dean, If I click on the [email protected]. I get there is no email program
set up on my computer, You need to tell your operating system that mailto: links should be passed to your browser, open to a compose window in your Hotmail account. I'm pretty sure this is possible in both Windows and Mac systems. If I try to paste it into hotmail will not send it saying it is not
valid email address, Somehow you've got an extra dot in the middle of .io - that address should be "support at groups dot io", not "dot i dot o" Also does a subgroup have its' own 1 gig of storage or is it based on
the parent group 1 gig of storage. Hm... My only group with subgroups isn't using enough storage to tell (they all say "0.01GB"). I know from a question on beta@ that subgroups share the same count of integrations as the parent. So I'll guess that the storage is shared among them as well. -- Shal

How do I contact IO support
I sent a request to IO for the easy transfer of member, email settings, and messages to be done on this Monday.? I wanted to contact support with a question,? Since I read all my emails in hotmail itself.? If I click on the [email protected]. I get there is no email program set up on my computer,? If I try to paste it into hotmail will not send it saying it is not valid email address,? So what do I need to email IO as com did not work when added after the O, Also does a subgroup have its' own 1 gig of storage or is it based on the parent group 1 gig of storage.
Thanks, Dean

Re: Muting Hashtags Question
After you're logged in: 1. Go to the home page /2. Click on Muted below the Hashtags label. I will give you a list of those that you have muted. On this page, you can add other hashtags to mute (top right), BUT you have to know the exact hashtag. You would also set which Group it's from. There was a suggestion made the other day to have a drop down for existing hashtags. I'm guessing we would also want it to be based on the Group we select from that list. Duane

Okay,
I received an invitation to Shalstest. I was able to join that group with no problems.
Then I received mail from Shalstest, including calendar reminders.
Since I have enough mail coming in already from groups.io, and elsewhere, I decided to attempt to mute them by using "Mute Threads Tagged With #cal-reminder" link in the e-mail.
I copied the link and went to the group, NOT SIGNED IN, to see what would happen.
Here is what transpired:
1. It It asked me for my user name and password
2. I typed them in the boxes provided
3. Then I clicked mute
4. No confirmation was given, instead it threw me back to the groups.io home page and I was not logged in.
5. Checking to be sure, I logged in, but I couldn't figure out how to list my muted hashtags to see if it worked. So I don't know if it did.
What did I do wrong, or is this an issue?
Thanks,
Brenda

thoughts on transferring links formerly posted in yahoo groups
I've copied most of my group's important files over to Groups.io, and am about to embark on the arduous process of getting the links duplicated over here as well. (I actually like the fact that Groups.io doesn't have a separate place for "links," since content will not be randomly distributed among "files" and "links" as it is in yahoo.) What I'm tentatively planning to do is to create file folders with appropriate names. Within each folder, I would include the files themseives plus a separate file called "links" with all the links to content of the same description. Example: In the "diagnosis" folder I would have a bunch of actual files on diagnosis, plus one called "diagnosis links" which would just be a file listing all the links. Any thoughts on this, or other ideas? What are people planning to do? J ?

Re: Problems with transfer memberships
.
There is this to consider as well. If one or more folks in such a transfer do not get included in the Groups.IO version of the former
Yahoo Group and they do want to stay on the list, the process for joining any Groups.IO list is so simple that these folk can be instructed as to how this is done by email and proceed to easily rejoin the group.

This is kind of a deal break on doing the "whole group transfer".
People dont read instructions, dont want to go thru that hassle, will
get frustrated and upset. It may go smoother than you think. If your group members largely read and post by email, without needing the visit the group site, then they are all set. They needn't visit Groups.io, needn't read anything, needn't set anything.
Even those that want to access the group's web pages may fare perfectly well. Several in my groups have.
Especially if they just plow on without reading instructions too carefully they are likely to get it done -- I think the ones that will have trouble will be primarily the cautious types that read the instructions minutely and give up if the instructions don't say precisely what they expect.
Please let us know when a better mechanism will be put in place. That's up to Mark, but you'll undoubtedly hear about it here.
That said, I think the transfer flow is easier (for the member) than joining cold, or accepting an invite.
I was planning on moving my Yahoo group by the end of the month. I am a
member of Helens CKD group, and IO seems to be working just fine for us
in that group, but I do remember setting up membership was a royal pain. I'm puzzled that you think so. I don't recall there being any trouble, but then I was fully expecting to create a password for access to my groups. Can you recall what points particularly troubled you? I'd like to add anything helpful I can to the wiki.
One source of confusion is just how much of the web site one can access without a password. Public information (such as most of a group's home page) yes, members-only information no.

Re: Problems with transfer memberships
Brenda, I can't do anything with the wiki to save my life. I bet you could. You've been composing message posts using the web site composition window. The Wiki page editor is the same (I think the exact same) as the message composition and editing tools. Adding new pages, or cross-page links might not be your forte, but I bet you could edit an existing page without much trouble. So if I have advice about it, where do you want me to post it, here, MM
or e-mail it? If I can do that, someone else can add it to the wiki. ;) Here in GMF@ is fine. I can't promise to act as everyone's transcriptionist, but at least the idea will be available to our members. -- Shal
