I'm sorry if this has been hashed out over and over but i've received numerous replies from members who reply to the group rather than individual and when i reject and ask them to reply to original poster they say they
can't figure out how to do it --?

So I switched the group to reply sender and group and now have a member who replied to moderator and when I checked the digest -- the only options are?

Dale:
You did not say just why the owner is locked out of Yahoo.
Forgot the password?
You can request a new one.
But it has to go to an alternate e-mail address since it cannot go to Yahoo.
Just create a Hotmail address and then use that for receiving the new Yahoo address.
Not sure that the owner has not done this, but I thought it might help.

Email photos at the top is great. A suggestion would be to have the last album created be next in the list, saving subscribers the need to sort the entire photo gallery. For example, we just had an event where I created an album for folks to put their pictures in ... it went to page 3 of albums, so no one could find it. Or, a way to set it so in SETTINGS?

Thank you Gerald, that surely did the trick. All set

Your email program/provider created a copy in your Sent folder.? Groups.IO does not have access to your mail folders on your PC or web mail so there's no way it can put a copy there.
(and that's not something that can ever be done so please don't ask.)
If the group is moderated, the post will not be visible on the web until after approved.

much discussion in the beta group when Mark updated the icons.
try this ->?

If I post a message through my email provider I have a copy of it in my Sent folder, however if I use the New Topic feature it seems I do not.

Or if it is there, how can I find it?
Or only if my post is approved will it then appear as a New Topic?

I - seriously - have searched and read about forty messages here on this.
And I cannot find the answer.

My formatting bar is missing that Paper Clip to add photos to messages.

But there it is right here in THIS forum ... What "switch" do I need to flip?
to be able to get mkre options on my message edit bar?

We have some events that repeat on the last Saturday of every month - which sometimes is the 4th or 5th Saturday of the Month.

Similarly we have an event that repeats on the last Sunday of October every year - which also is sometimes the 4th or 5th Sunday.

Groups.io does not provide for this.
[I also tried to explain the difference to YahooGroups several times over the years and they either didn't listen and/or understand]

?I just figured out that Yearly events that repeat on the 3rd Saturday of August are considered Monthly events that repeat every 12 months,
as opposed to Yearly events that repeat on the 18th of August which are considered Yearly events.

I tried to set up a yearly event that is the 3rd Saturday of August. (2018.08.18).

The Calendar does monthly events either for 3rd Saturdays or on the 18th each month,
however yearly events only accepts August 18th each year, not the 3rd Saturday of August.

I own one group and moderate another. In both cases we have a mixture of technically savvy users and people who are completely clueless about computers.

I am seeking a good tutorial, preferably on Youtube on how to use the rich features of Groups.IO. My unskilled users can read and reply to emails and that's about it. They keep needing posts to be repeated so they can read them, because they don't know how to use the online features to read previous posts, search the archives or skim through threads.
Also they don't know how to use the wiki or files area, let alone the other features.
I'm visually impaired so I'd appreciate if someone else finds a good tutorial, since I won't know for sure if the video portion is clear enough to easily follow.?
I have prepared an audio tutorial on using Groups.IO for visually impaired users which I can share with anyone who needs it for their group members who have this disability.

I am thinking it might be a completely different problem. I was helping my Mom yesterday with something unrelated which made me realize this.

If you are a sophisticated user you have an email client. So a "sendmail" link opens that client with the email address already filled in and you are ready to type your email, or in the case of an invite to just hit send.

But .. if you are less sophisticated, you don't even know what an email client is. You log in to gmail , UVerse, At&T, comcast, hotmail? or Yahoo and read your mail. Mail is a web experience, not an experience with a client program or app.

So when they encounter the sendMail link, nothing happens. I think Chrome has add-ons that will summon Yahoo or gmail,? but assuming this is an unsophisticated user, they have whatever browser came with their computer.

When Mom clicked on a SendMail link, her computer fired up Windows Live mail which is depricated and it was asking her to enter account information -- completely unintuitive for an unsophisticated user. When I click on a sendMail link on my new laptop,? Windows 10 mail (trusted store app!)? launches too inviting me to create an account, but I'm experienced so I just have to change my default email client to the desktop Outlook which is what I have installed. Not sure why Windows didn't do that for me, but that's Microsoft for you!

At work our department's Chromebook launches gmail when I click on a sendMail link. So maybe it's as simple as software not knowing what to do on a particular platform when a user clicks.

That image gets stored in Photo Albums > Emailed Photos. I can reuse that image in another message by copying its URL from its Download button into an <img> tag but it, too, is broken in the received email.

I believe this is because you must be logged in to see Files and Photos on the group and an email program won't be logged in.? If you used a link to the image that was stored on an open site, it should work.

• It seems that the only ways to ensure images are delivered by email are:
  • to post from email or
  • to upload from within the website message editor.?
• image files in the group's Photo Albums cannot be reused in new posts for delivery by email; they are replicated

I'm trying to migrate a Wikispaces site and have its many pages in exported HTML format with their relative links to image and non-image files in the relative folder "files/" which corresponds very nicely to the root of the Groups.io Files area to which I have batch uploaded them. Although G.io does not support batch upload of messages, I can paste the HTML code from an exported page into the message editor's source code window and the message is done - images display (may need to resize) and file links work on the website. I really don't want to have to upload them to each message.

Am I missing something? Maybe I'm just barking up the wrong platform but I have yet to find the silver bullet.?

If they don't have access to the 'old' email address, there's no way that I'm aware of for them to merge the accounts.

And, it would be nice for them to have ALL their groups.io groups listed on their home page when logged in. Can someone tell me how that might be accomplished?

On the home page, /, all of the groups associated with the account that's logged in will be shown.

If those folks try to merge their two accounts, I am assuming one of the lists will lose their old message history?

Merging accounts shouldn't lose any of the linkage to messages and other data they 'own'.? That's the reason for the merge function.

Okay, so we have a new wrinkle with some of our transferred list members that have created a second Groups.io account and are submitting these duplicate Membership requests: Some of them were using old email addresses on Yahoo that are no longer accessible. So, they cannot sign into their transferred account because they will not be able to access the auto email that is sent requesting a link to create a password. I am wondering if they could sign in using the newer account, request the password link to create a password for that account, then somehow merge the older transfer account with their newer account? ?Our list members use our list sections pretty heavily (Photos, Files, DB, etc. ), so it’s important to fully create an account so they can get to our list home page. And, it would be nice for them to have ALL their groups.io groups listed on their home page when logged in. Can someone tell me how that might be accomplished?

?Also, we have a smaller set of list members that were using two different email addresses on Yahoo with different groups, and now they’ve been transferred twice to Yahoo Groups with those old Yahoo lists, this creating two different groups.io accounts. If those folks try to merge their two accounts, I am assuming one of the lists will lose their old message history?

I believe this is a bug that crept in during this change.? Several years ago, when the calendar was added, we had a similar problem, the final day wasn't included on the calendar display, now it's adding an extra day on the hover text.? I'm going to add this to the thread on beta,

Checking things for me, on adding (or editing) event I see dates and times in ISO date and 24 hour as expected/wanted/set in profile. For event times the default (pre-entered but overtypeable) to the give the current hour (i.e now, as I enter this at 10:07, from 10:00 to 11:00), with dropdown (if I use it rather than typing in directly) starting from 00:00. I'm happy with this - it's more or less what I expect. And when I click on the event (in the calendar, having added it), the date appears in 'long' format with 24-hour format time (Monday, June 25th, 2018 10:00 to 11:00) - I'm happy, but wondering why that date format? Does it come from a groups.io setting, or somewhere in my computer locale settings?

But hovering over the event, so I get a pop-up, some curiosities:
For short (1 hour) event within a day just the times (e.g. 10:00 - 11:00), with no date (whether today or not), and for zero time length events.
For short (1 hour) event straddling midnight both dates and times (eg 2018-06-25 23:30 - 2018-06-26 00:30)
For all day events, date and to following date, eg 2018-but 06-25 - 2018-06-26 for event all day today (25th) - this I consider incorrect, as distinct from a bad choice - but probably down to the end time being stored as 00:00 on D+1, not 24:00 on D.

So correct (expected) formats, but not what I would like and hope to have: date (always) and times - but for zero duration events, only the one time, for single day events just the one date, and for multi day all day events ending on the final day, not the following one.
