Re: Caution: "Content flagged as objectionable" message

I have received a message, apparently from [email protected], <mailto:[email protected],>?informing me that a member of my group has flagged content as objectionable, including a link:Yes, when a member "reports" a file (i.e. flags it as problematic) by clicking the flag icon next to the file in the Files section, the report is sent to the group moderators, and the FROM is "[email protected]". The report can optionally contain text that the user typed. The report contains the e-mail address of the user who submits the report. Example: ------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, [e-mail of reporter] wishes to inform you that the following file: /g/[groupname]/files?id=1436857 is objectionable. They entered the following reason why it should be considered objectionable: asdfasdfasdf Please take a moment to review and take action as you feel appropriate for your group. Cheers, The Groups.io Team ----------------------------------------------------------- In my test, when I clicked the link in the report (which was for an image file), my browser prompted me to save it (and the browser correctly identified it as an image file. Unfortunately, following the link doesn't tell you where the file is located. This is really stupid (sorry, Groups.io developers!). So, you're going to have to write an e-mail to that person and ask him if he can remember which file he reported, and if so, what the location of the file is, and perhaps also apologise to him on behalf of Groups.io that the location of the file wasn't part of the report that was sent. However... If you're on the page where the file is, you can use your browser's "view source" feature and search for the file ID. Samuel |

Re: How do I fill the gap between when my migration covers and when my groups.io group was ready to use.

How can I copy over those last few days worth of posts? I've downloaded all my group data from Yahoo. So I have them locally.Option 1: Create a temporary e-mail address for yourself that you're not going to use again, then manually forward the remaining the messages to the group, using an e-mail program and using your temporary e-mail address as the FROM address. In Thunderbird, I can right-click a message and select "Edit as a new message", so that the message is not "forwarded", which preserves the quoting style, although the resent message is still "FROM" me. Option 2: Convert the mails to e.g. HTML, DOC or PDF files or DOC files, and upload them to the Files section. How to convert them to those formats depend on the format that they're currently in.

Re: Can I export data via eMail??

Is it possible to export the group data via an eMail request?No, that has to be done via Admin > Settings, Export Group Data.? You might be able to do it via the API, but I haven't gotten into that, /api? This may be included in the app at some point, too.

Re: move messages to subgroup

I found several posts from circa 2017 which say that there is no way to move a message from main to a subgroup or between subgroups.? Is that still the case?Yes, it's still this way.? Allowing things to be moved between main and subgroups doesn't seem to be a high priority.? The most recent mention I found is Deleting the content and doing a new transfer might work.? That could be a lot of work since the most you can do is delete one Topic at a time.

The link does not lead to the location of a file, but attempts to start a download titled "1".This rings a very big bell, but I was unable to find the previous threads on this issue (namely legitimate files downloading as "1") in the GMF or beta groups (possibly because searching for '"1"' is just looking for trouble). Sorry, I can't remember if this turned out to be a browser issue. But have you tried clicking the link in other browsers? Samuel |

Re: Separate Accounts (NOT Groups) on Same Home Page?

I was actually NOT able to get this to work (different sign-ins on different tabs) in my environment (Firefox on Linux).By "this" I assume you mean using an extension in the browser...? As far as I can see, no-one here mentioned a Firefox extension, but I did find one that worked, called MultiAccountContainers: With this extension, if you click one of the sessions in the list, it opens a new tab, but the tab doesn't automatically load Groups.io. YOu have to type in (or select from the browser's address field dropdown options) /groups. But from that point onwards the tab is a separate session with a separate login, and all tabs opened from those tabs remain part of that particular session. I particularly like the fact that the session name is noted in the address field, so that you can see which session the tab is from. You can also save sessions in Firefox manually, but then each session is in a separate window (not just a separate tab). Samuel |

Re: Caution: "Content flagged as objectionable" message
Is there a reason given in the email you got?? Could have been someone that got transferred trying to figure out what the Flag icon meant.? It's very difficult to relate the id=xxxxx because I haven't found a way to translate that to a file name.? You might check the Files area (or activity log) to see if any files were recently uploaded, but it my have been there for some time.

Re: Second group to move

Could I create a sub-group with only one or two people to study the ramifications of this approach?Yes, but the changes to the main group mentioned in the Wiki will be immediate when you create the subgroup.? After creating the subgroup, it pretty much has a complete set of Settings for itself, so you may want to take time to get them the way you want before the transfer.

Re: Second group to move
On Thu, Nov 14, 2019 at 03:19 AM, Eric Johnson wrote:
The first that comes to mind is whether the fact that we've already completed the main group transfer would still allow us to move the newly created sub-group at no additional cost. The second is the process. Do we simply set up "sub-group.io" and then task the move of the Yahoo group to the new sub-group.There should be no problem creating the subgroup, then transferring the information from YG into it.? Even if you'd done it initially, it would have been 2 separate transfers.? Make sure you understand the changes that will be made in addressing the original (main) group before creating the subgroup, /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Subgroups? There's a slight delay after creating the subgroup before you can access the main or subgroup again, usually only a few minutes, while the DNS information is propagated throughout the world.
