Samuel I suppose it also doesn't help that in the normal world, "public archive" means government archive, and not "private archive that is accessible to the public". :-) |

Re: How to change the visibility of the archives / messages of my group
OK. I am French and this notion wasn't ¨¦vident for me. I would like a private access for the writers (limited to the suscribers).?
But the archives could be public for the readers and web search.. I am very disapointed with that. Thank you Duane for your answer. JJ |

Re: Moderating messages
Alan,
In the settings for our group I set that all messages would beThe Override posting privileges override the group's setting. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Message-Moderation#Member-Controls Must I reset each individuals profile ...As Duane said, the system will change that member's Posting Privilege after the set number of messages from that member have been approved. But that won't result in any change as long as the group's setting remains Moderated.

A note about Display names -
?
Display names can be unique to the group the user belongs to. They do not carry across with the user?to other groups. If you add or change a display name for a user in one group, it won't add or change it for other groups.
?
On two of my groups we require real names. We've found that people may often know each other or ancestors of a member, if they can see the name, and that encourages conversation. On Y! I was constantly moderating members for leaving them out. On groups.io I just change their display names for the group and don't have to worry about the problem. Yes, users can change it themselves, but most don't because they don't see it anywhere else. And unless I notice a post that doesn't conform, I don't worry about it.

Re: navigating page numbers
Win,
? I had received a lengthy posting from one of our members on this very topic last night.? He asked if there was a way to just JUMP to a page number vs. the click on the arrows forward and back.? Many sites offer an input box right next to the page number like yours shows as 31.? It would be to the left.? Then the numbers and arrows on each side.?? I thought, how clever that I didn't notice GroupsIO not having this ability. ? My only solution to give to all of our members was, there is a search button at the top. Click on it and enter a keyword to search for.? ? At Yahoo Groups there was a weird way to narrow down the search.? Knowing the year and month allowed you to pick on the area when a message was posted back in time.? It's very quirky at best.? The funny thing is, GroupsIO uses the SAME type of system at the bottom of the main page to the group.? ? Back in the days of CompuServe and Prodigy message systems in use, each started thread had an unique ID number as well as the subject line.? If you knew the ID number, no matter where you were in the system, it would immediately place you there when clicked on or entered in the search field.? The pre-Internet era had some decisive and quick tools like this in the day because nobody in their right mind would spend HOURS looking for a few mere pages on 2400bps modems.? Now, here is the neat part.? GroupsIO has the ability to JUMP to a Message Number.?? So, rather than focus on a certain page number, look at the message number you had left off at.? :) This sure beats making dozens of bookmarks in a browser and then having to figure out what bookmark took you where. ?
