Frances,

But I can't figure out how to get rid of the numbering. Here's what my
attempt looks like:
0.0.1 Join Groups.io

I believe that indicates that you have no paragraphs marked as Header 1 or Header 2. Select the Header level in the Formats drop down. When you open that drop-down a black bar on the left marks the current format of the paragraph you're in.

You must start at Header 1 for your outermost level, else the TOC gets confused.

There aren't any numbers in these headings.

Unfortunate but true.

That fact makes it much less obvious what's going on. The only way I know to identify the current paragraph's header level is to drop the Formats menu (or guess based on font size, if you haven't changed it from the default).

And I don't see anything in source - at least not looks like it would create numbering.
<p><em>[TOC:Contents:3]</em></p>

That's just a marker for the position of the TOC. The "3" is the number of levels you selected. For shorter pages I typically use 1, sometimes 2 for longer pages. Even the Transfer details page I only used 2.

The actual rendered TOC is created "behind the scenes" (in the presentation code, I think) - it doesn't even show in the Source code view.

In the body of the page you should see text marked like this:

<h1>top level header</h1>
<p>Ordinary Paragraph</p>

The number after "h" in those HTML tags is the level number (depth) not the sequence number of that header.

Fernando -- Since you didn't really tell us what the message said, it's hard to say. But I will venture to guess that you got timed out, which has been reported to happen occasionally. It seems to depend on server load and the speed of your internet connection.

Question: is there a max individual file size allowable? what is it?? Why would the system allow a 376MB file but not a 257MB file?

I'm not aware of any fixed limitation. I will say that groups.io isn't really designed for cloud storage or streaming audio/video. My suggestion is to upload the file to a Google Drive or some such and share it via a link.

Good luck,
Bruce

In one of my groups we have a monthly poll where votes are hidden from members till the poll is closed.? Now the question is how can I close a poll without deleting it?

OK noted, and thank you for the suggested work around,
Alan

Shal, thanks for the suggestion.? I checked with one of the members and found at that they had in fact received the most recent special notice, despite the most recent delivery not indicating that.

In Groups.io it seems only moderators or owners can edit or post descriptions under the photos.
As our group is made up of "Old Boys" from school days some 50 years ago, a description of who's who in an old photo is really necessary !

e.g. one person uploads a photo, can only name one person and other individual members can name others, or location or date etc. and thus collaborate to make the albums more meaningful ?

This has been on the TODO list for almost 5 years, ? Obviously not a high priority. ;>)? At present, the best work around is to name the photos carefully, then discuss them in a Topic.? It's best to NOT use a direct link to a photo because the addressing can change when any are added or deleted.? There's not (yet) a permalink to each photo.

Given that her groups have already been copied from Y! and saved on a temporary server on the groups.io side, would she necessarily have to wait, or is this a question for Mark? Once he uploads a group does he immediately delete the temporary download or does he wait a bit?

Dano -- Hard to say.

I'm wondering if this is something that can be done entirely on the groups.io side.

I wondered that myself...but it seems that the OP has already approached Mark with the problem and he did not offer that as an option (ref:?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/24654).

Good afternoon helpful Moderators,

We recently transferred from YahooGroups and all went very smoothly and anxieties were addressed generously by the Moderators of this group, thank you again.

1)
Photo descriptions
There are a number of members who "swear" that they remember descriptions on the photos when in YG and those descriptions not transferred over.
I have checked, laboriously one by one against the YG albums and it seems to me that those photos with descriptions did carry over with the same descriptions.
> Do you know if in the past YG dropped "descriptions" in their albums ? <

2)

Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide to address this request.

There is no such functionality.

Requests for new features should be posted to the beta group ().

Bruce

Huh? if the admin of a group wants to import posts to another group he is admin, it's not his right?

This is what I want to do, please don't extend it outside of groups.io, or where the members of the from and to groups do not approve.

This is simply merging 2 groups.io groups.

So, I'm getting nowhere here, who is the person/persons who I should really be talking to?

There is no such function. Transferring content between subgroups must be done manually.

As for clearing things out and repeating the Y!G transfer(s), at the moment no transfer requests are being accepted (ref:?).

Is it possible to also transfer content to separate subgroups?

You can keep them both at one location and make one or both subgroups of the larger group.

I would make each one a sub group and consider the main group being an announcement group.
Or better yet,
Have a different topic for the Main group that most members can enjoy and give it a catchy new name.
All subgroup members are members of the main group.

So, just to be sure, the OP's problem, to not be able to invite?[email protected]?was a brower issue on a Mac, and was solved on a PC.

Just checking since I can still exercise the "invite" option on my old Yahoo groups.

Greg, see this message:
