This is particularly true in the EU. At a minimum, you must let the recipient know exactly what is happening and give them a chance to opt out. Bruce |

Re: Message search by numbers

The numbers in the Message History chart are the number of messages for each month, so should add up to a somewhat larger number than the number of Topics (assuming it's not an announcement only group.)? There is no total for those. Because all imported messages have been assigned a new message number on GIO, there won't be an easy way to correlate to YG message numbers.? You'd really need to know some information within a message to search for it, rather than the original number.

Re: Message search by numbers
Victoria,
Simple.? 1. When logged into to you group on the GroupsIO website, click on the left column titled MESSAGES. 2. At the top right part of the screen, there is a box to enter the message number.? Place in the number you have and hit enter. 3. The message then appears. This is very helpful vs. the search or arrows to scroll thru pages upon pages of kept messages.? Now, if you do not have the message number, then the search is the fastest way. BMaverick |

Re: How to find (not disclosed) emails?
John,
Out of our 2783 members, I was able to pluck out about 1,600 from the membership list by sorting the column methods and exporting each one.? As for the non-disclosed, I was able to snag just a few.? How is this possible?? Well, the member chose to use their EMAIL as their user ID.? That was one way to hunt thru the non-disclosed listings.? The other way was a little more inventive.? When a SPECIAL notice on YG is sent out, those with non-disclosed emails can reply to the mod or owner.? When they do, your home email GETS their EMAIL ADDRESS when they reply to the the message.? Otherwise, it's not been noticed beyond these two methods.? On Geocities, we had the ability to keep emails totally anonymous and when moved to Yahoo, Yahoo kept that feature for us folks. Glad you can be creative to snag all the members with the methods.?? Making the listing in EXCEL is easy with 'sort for duplicates' and 'filter' out the non-disclosed.? Before doing the sort and filter, make a backup of the file.?? Once done, the GroupsIO INVITE feature will work really nicely with the listing.? The cut-n-paste does take a moment for the paste buffer to load into the GroupsIO field.? It's not spontaneously instant.? Basically, that paste is coming from your computer, over the internet and filling in the INVITE field.? With that many loaded INVITES, you will get a noticed that a GroupsIO system level moderator has to review and approve your INVITE request.? It didn't take long for that to happen.? 1/2 day.? But I wasn't in no instant hurray.? Glad it works. :) :) :) ? BMaverick ? |

Re: Comcast problems again?
Shal, That is a good work-around for those who are more computer literate than my member. I also use MS Outlook with a POP setting, but when I go to my provider's? web interface, I can look at the spam folder there and mark any relevant emails as "not spam" and then it gets sent to my Outlook email. But this member having the Comcast problem is not finding a way at the Comcast web interface to mark an email in the spam folder as "not spam". Does anyone know if she is missing something, or is there no method at the Comcast web interface to do that?

Re: Completely edit default messages for invites, direct add, etc
No it would not have been better if I had posted it in the beta group. I was not 100% sure it couldn't be done and that was made more uncertain when Frances's reply to the OP did not say it couldn't and appeared to give instructions as to how to defeat the default message.
It is not that the message is too long; it is for my personal reasons that I find it too terse for inviting people I already know. I wanted to make it friendlier but at the same time not clutter it up with irrelevant wording that I dislike. I will not attempt to justify my reasons as that will simply result in a battle of others trying to knock down my personal preferences as has already been started. In? future I will not be using the Invite message but will create my own from personal email. Matter closed for me but maybe not for the OP and at least one other. |

member activity history
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAfter a member has left our group and their email address as displayed in the ¡°leave¡± message is the only indication I have of the unsubscribed member, is there a way to obtain a history of their activities (not email activity) similar to the one yahoo offered? I am referring to a member?s activity history from joining to leaving the group (including various changes of email addresses and display names)? Victoria ? |

Re: GIO changes from Mark
"Grandfathering" means that the restrictions part of the new rules applies only to newly created groups. No capabilities are removed from groups which already exist. Specifically, your existiong subgroups will be fine, and your current basic groups can continue to create new subgroups. I think of my own grandfather with this word. He started to drive before there was any driving test in Britain, possibly even before there was a driving licence. He was never required to pass a driving test, even 50 years later: his right to the driving licence was grandfathered in. ? - Mark (not that Mark, of course) |
