Does it make any difference if the Pending Subscription Message is the only Active message rather than the Welcome Message?

Re: Able to edit reject message heading?
I've been wanting to know also, how to copy the original text of a message so that it appears in the response. I must be misunderstanding Gerald's directions to Ninman. I selected the portion of the message that I want to appear in my response. Then I clicked on Reply to group. Nothing was automatically pasted into the response window. So, I clicked on Paste, and the text I'd selected was pasted into the response window as a regular copy/paste - no "On such and such date at such and such o'clock, So and So wrote:" What am I doing wrong? Also, I don't see any lasso icon in the reply panel. All the formatting commands are at the bottom but I don't see a lasso in either the automatically displayed commands or the advanced format commands. Thanks in advance for your help - Deborah On Thu, Oct 31, 2019 at 05:07 PM, Niman H wrote:
Side question - how do you copy the original text of a message so it also appears in a response? Is there a quick way, besides copy/paste?Niman, Select what you want to paste before replying. It will automatically be pasted along with the introductory "On ...." If you want to include the whole post, click on the lasso icon on the top left hand side of the reply panel after you have started the reply. ? -- Gerald -- Deborah |

Re: Sorting among sent invites
Why don¡¯t you delete those that have been accepted? ?Deleting them from the Invite screen doesn¡¯t delete their accepted subscription. Just takes them out of that section.?

Re: Sorting among sent invites
Yes, I guess a subsort that would be a feature I would like to have, although it's really only a big issue right now at the beginning of the group where I'm trying to make sure members aren't missing their invitations.??
Is there some hierarchy in the sort of sent invitations by "Invited" date?? It again doesn't seem like its just strictly date as the dates aren't chronological.? I know that date changes from invited date to accepted date, but it still doesn't seem to follow chronological order. |

Judith -- The Pending Subscription notice is not designed to be a user questionnaire. It is being used as a work-around for a feature that does not currently exist. As such, you will have to manage this yourself -- pair up any response you get with the corresponding "needing approval" notification in order to approve these applicants. Note also that there is no guarantee that a pending subscriber will send you a response. I realize that this probably fails to meet your expectations. A new user questionnaire feature has been suggested multiple times in beta, but for whatever reason has never been implemented. Regards, Bruce |
Re: Possible to download YG cover photos for reuse in GIO?
I was able to download SOME of my cover photos, using Chrome and directions similar to what were given by Isidro.(Thanks!)? But on others I got the error message cited:"We are sorry, you can not display images hosted by Yahoo! Groups on non Yahoo! Groups pages" .
?For whatever reason I had no success using Firefox and also tried Internet Explorer with no success. I consistently got the error, but it may have been due to the particular groups for which I was attempting to download the covers, rather than the particular browser? The string of text you are looking for in the goobledygook starts with http and ends with cover.jpg I did the right click on the photo (or the space where the photo should have been), then selected inspect element or similar, then a chunk of gobbledygook was highlighted. Then I highlighted the chunk directly above this which included the cover.jpg link. I right clicked on it and selected copy > outerHTML or similar , then pasted this into the address bar of the browser, where I used the right and left arrows to help in deleting unwanted text around the "http...cover.jpg" string. The string is actually in there twice. Since the procedure worked SOMETIMES for me, I may retry periodically to see if Yahoo eventually allows me to display and save the images. Or does anyone have other suggestions? Linda N |

Sorting among sent invites
Hi there,
I was trying to resend invites among the people who haven't accepted an invitation yet to our group. I tried to sort by status and by date, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. ?The results always seem to never come back the same which throws me off as I'm trying to meticulously send invitations back out to anyone who hasn't responded to the initial invite. ?For example, if I sort by status so I can look at all the sent but not accepted invites, the resulting sort doesn't seem to be organized by date or alphabetical, but seems to randomize itself each time. ?So it isn't easy for me to select and page over. ?Perhaps what I'm looking for is a two-step search. Is this a bug or just how filters work? Thanks, |
