Re: Database access
#bug
I received a message from Mark at 5:51am this morning (7/3) that the problem is fixed. I checked and it is working once again.
So nice to have such great support and response. Brenda |
Finally setting up my new groups, and have a few questions
Hello everyone! I am finally getting around to switching my groups to io, and last night set up my first new io group to mirror the yahoo group. I must admit that even as an experienced yahoo group owner, the number of options was a little daunting. And, my trying to mirror the existing the group led to a couple of moments of consternation. With that in mind, I have a couple of questions that are probably very simple, but I? hope you will be patient with me! 1) I am looking for advice - or is there a place it is already collected? - regarding this setup process - what did you regret, what did you learn, what do you wish you had done differently, what pitfalls cropped up that were not expected? 2) There is an option to allow group members to download the entire group archive. Is that exactly as it seems, and if so, what are the pros/cons on allowing that? 3) It seems the only setting that cannot be changed after setup is making a private group public. Is that true? If so, that eases the anxiety a bit, since I can always rethink and change what I did. Thanks so much for any insight into these items! Patti |
Members Unable to Post to Group
One member of my group said that her email to our group bounced, so I
checked her "Email Delivery History" and found this: Most Recent Unsuccessful Attempt: Message: [MyGroup] Subject Title Attempted: Jun 27 Response: 452 4.1.1 Too much mail from this address E2210 I thought I'd check every member in the group (we have maybe 10 members) and found that two other members have the same message. And a fourth member had this: Most Recent Unsuccessful Attempt: Message: [MyGroup] Subject Title Attempted: Jul 2 Response: EOF What needs to happen for them to be able to respond to group posts? Is it something I can do myself? -- Leslie Noelani Laurio |

I can¡¯t understand the inability to use a DELETE button? Complaining about someone messaging seems rather petty to me.

How about a reminder to the offenders to be considerate.? They may not realize the effect.?

It¡¯s like Amazon asking ¡°can you help this person and answer this question¡± and the idiots that answer ¡°I don¡¯t know".? Some must hear themselves talk.

Re: Database access
#bug
I checked this morning and mine are acting weird, too.? As a temporary work around, it looks like you can hit the page number a second time to get to the page you want.? (The arrows can only be used this way for the first or second page.)? And the work around doesn't work when sorted on any column.? As a bit more info that you may want to pass on to support, the first click seems to sort on the first column.

Re: Pending Icon, But No Member is Pending
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýPatty,That's pretty weird right there. I think it is worth posting that screenshot to [email protected]. Pending members can unsubscribe, effectively revoking their request for membership. I wonder if there's a bug involving that circumstance. Maybe take a look at your group's Activity log to see if there is any membership activity that looks unusual. Perhaps you can spot an address that applied but was never approved or rejected.

Re: coping with high traffic
Deborah,
Some of my members want me to limit posts from each member to two aNeither side is necessarily wrong, it is a question of what type of group culture you want to have. One way you could compromise would be to create a subgroup for socializing, while you try to keep the primary group more strictly on topic. Members who choose to join the subgroup can even have separate Subscription settings for it, Digest in one and Individual messages in the other, if they like.

Re: coping with high traffic
Deborah Armstrong
We have 36 members; four got disgusted with the level of traffic and left.
From June 19-30 we had 204 messages. We've had 112 in the last two days, July 1 and 2.
?
I have contributed to the traffic in order to poll the group for guidelines and to soothe the gripers. It's a writer's group so the idea is that we will be critiquing and commenting heavily on each other's work.
?
Some of my members want me to limit posts from each member to two a day. Others love the list and want it to stay the way it is, friendly, social and free-wheeling!

Just be aware that when you delete one, the message gets edited and the person that originally wrote it will be notified that you've done it.? Maybe if you do that for a few hundred of one person's posts, they'd get the idea (but I wouldn't bet on it!)? That message will have an Edited button at the upper right in the archives. ?

Re: coping with high traffic
Deborah,
?I've seen that behavior in some of my "social" groups. Contacting a few of those individuals off-list I came to understand that they perceived each group posting to be an email directed to them personally. And then etiquette demanded a polite response. ? Those few I reassured that it was unnecessary, and even disruptive, to reply to each posting. They eventually caught on to the idea of the group as a group conversation.

The only option is burdensome:? download it, delete it from the site, rescale it on your computer, re-upload it, then reassign ownership back to the original subscriber.
