Re: Calendar bugs
This could be related to the recent change in the date/time formatting, .? You could post this information to that thread so Mark will see it.? I was able to reproduce it.? I believe the problem is because even though I have 24 hour time selected, the End drop down shows am/pm times, one of those little bugs that can creep in after a big change like this.

The system remembers which view you normally use.? The only gotcha is that if you choose a group from the overview page, /, it reverts to the Topic view because it's hard-coded on those links.? The suggestion has been made that this be changed to use the user preference, but I don't think a decision was ever made.

Calendar bugs
I've tried many times to create an Event in the Calendar, but keep getting the message:
"You have entered an incorrectly formatted date or time.¡±
?
The event is 4th Sundays, 2-5pm
?
1) I think the problem is with the time function in ¡°End¡±
?
¡°Start¡± allows me to select: 2:00pm?
?
however the ¡°End¡± time box then displays ¡°Invalid Date¡±, its pull down menu offers:
00:00 to 23:30 in 1/2 hour increments.
I¡¯ve tried both 3:00 (duration) and 17:00 (24 hour clock)
and still get the same message when I click on "+ Add Event":
"You have entered an incorrectly formatted date or time.¡±
I would also prefer being able to specify times, rather than having to select 1/2 hours. 2) It is most annoying and frustrating that the form is then cleared and I have to re-enter every field again, instead of just indicating which fields need correction / completion
?
?
I find nothing in Help for: Calendar
?
I also searched in the GMF Wiki for: Calendar and the only result that comes close is
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Member-Notices?
but it doesn't cover these bugs |

Re: Send "automatic" files to pending/new members
|?For monthly reminders, I use a hashtag that causes the message to be deleted after a month.? Reduces the clutter and folks won't find old information, thinking it's current.
My GMF: Home in Top Hashtags states (among others):
red boxed "#admin" Administrative messages from the moderators (21)
?
?
On my GMF: Messages there are 21 "Group Managers Forum subscription reminder" messages?
followed by a red boxed "#admin" and a blue boxed "#cal-reminder"
?
They are:
Group Managers Forum subscription reminder
from Monday, 1 August 2016 to Wed, 11/1/17

None for Dec 2017 or Jan 2018

Re: A somewhat unique transfer situation.
Dale,
Shal, Thanks for the suggestion about contacting Wilson.I'll be interested in hearing what he has to say. I took a peek at the user community but only found a couple old references to a defunct classic (pre-neo) Y!Group exporter and one answer from Wilson where the OP never followed up. Looking at my own copy of PG Offline I'd say that neither the plain nor HTML text exports would be very gratifying to work with - they reproduce only the text of the messages (no HTML formatting or embedded images). There's an export to "SQL dump" but I don't speak database and haven't looked into that. Possibly it would have more complete message info, and possibly someone with the right skills could convert that to an mbox file. This message was rejected by the beta group as not what that group wasYeah, he's got a lot on his plate. Anything we can do to answer usage questions and the like frees up his time to concentrate on features - which is the proper topic for beta. I don't know why the topic was allowed in beta earlier, it may be just an example of "moderator is human" (and overworked). As to Mbox, do you know how an import would work? Does it requireYes. Only Y!Groups and Google groups have a degree of automation to the process, and even then there are manual steps by "the transfer agent" (aka Mark). To import an mbox file you would first need to host the file somewhere that Mark could read it (cloud storage of one brand or another) and then email a link to it to [email protected]. Mark may need other information as well, so the first step might be to contact support and ask how to proceed. Also, the question of posting photos by the album rather than by theSorry, I don't follow that. As I run several related websites, I know I could put the old messagesIf the original group's messages were not open to the public you may want to be concerned about posting their content on a publicly visible web site. There's a very strong YMMV there, based on the nature of your group and its members.

Re: Automatic Unsubscribes?
Chris,
As an option you can put a link to it in a message, but that can beIt is easy enough to put a link to GMF's wiki on one of your wiki pages, but no I don't think you can arrange for a page in your group's wiki to automatically redirect to GMF's.

Re: A somewhat unique transfer situation.
Dale,
In any case, he cannot create owners, moderators, or send invitationsIf none of my suggestions from last time worked out, you might try asking Wilson (the creator of PG Offline) about an mbox export format. Or look in the PG Offline user community to see if anyone has solved this problem.
