Re: How To Make i.o. Cover Photo Banner Sized

 

Deborah,

?

Take a look at what I do with the banner on FOGgers /g/foggers . I use a free program called IrfanView to manipulate the pictures and create our banner. You¡¯ll have to take some a little time to learn how the program works, but I think helps me a lot.

The cover photo is rescaled to 300 pixels in the vertical dimension, or 900 pixels in the horizontal dimension. So if you want the image to span the width of the page you must provide an image with at least a 3:1 aspect ratio.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Oh. I don't know how to do that without distorting the image by stretching it out horizontally. :-(?

If you are unwilling to pay the $110 for a transfer -- and you have a lot of spare time on your hands -- there are other options to download and save content from Yahoo Groups. Shal has previously mentioned three options in the following post:??/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19204?. I have used PG Offline successfully in the past, and Robert has given detailed instructions on how to use the Chrome browser add-on in?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19222?.

The problem is what to do with the message archive once downloaded; as there is really no good way to re-upload it to , to re-link individual messages to their owners, or to provide online message search capability. Perhaps the best option is simply to print the collection of old messages to a PDF file; at which point you can upload that to the files area of your group. That will give you something, even if it isn't conveniently indexed and searchable.?

Are Post replies visible to all members of the team?
Assuming your group is set to "Reply to Group" (Settings>Message Policies>Reply To) and subscribers use the normal reply function on their email clients, yes.

And I will be able to find the Post with the hashtag right?
Clicking on a hashtag will bring up a list of all posts containing that hashtag (i.e.: as if you had typed it into the search engine).

In the yahoo group management settings you can set it so that nobody can post to the group. ?I did this and it has worked.

Re: Moving to IOGroups

 

Thank you thank you thank you!!

And I apologize for the repeated questions but I deal with the list alone and have no help as far as admin stuff. I promise I will do my best to read Shal's messages. I want to take care of my 10,000+ members. They too are asking me lots of questions so my inbox is floating. LOL

So appreciate all your help.

Susan -- 10,000 members is problematical, as has already been stated. This is because you cannot readily download them all using the Y!G web interface. You should, however, be able to access them using one of the tools that Shal has previously mentioned here.

I have heard $10 and $110.
Well, kinda.

It costs $110 for Premium Yearly. This is necessary if you want the groups.io transfer agent to move your Yahoo group for you, which includes most group content (except for calendar entries and message attachments).

If all you're interested in doing is moving your subscribers, and you can get a complete list of them, then $10 is the cost for Premium Monthly. This allows you to Direct Add (shanghai) all those members into your group, without using the invitation system. This is a significant convenience factor.

If your group is small (<1GB of storage), and you want to do it all on the cheap, and you have a lot of time on your hands, and you can get a complete list of members somehow, and are willing to transfer all your other content manually -- then you can create a group under the Basic plan, invite the members using the list you downloaded, and upload all the content manually. See also?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19293?for more information on how to do the uploads.

I feel like maybe Bruce or someone should send a repeat message out to go over stuff for new people just joining in.
Okay, I've done that. But to be a little blunt, I've sent 70 (yes, 70) messages over the past three days, covering virtually every aspect of this process. It strikes me as reasonable that folks coming in late spend just a little time?using the message archive search engine or scanning the GMF wiki. Most of the information is already there, if people would just take a minute to look for it.

Hope this helps,

Bruce?

Natalie -- Assuming you have already sent the group a notice of intent to transfer, you only need follow up with those who didn't get the message. The easiest way is to put the entire group on moderation. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Y21group-after-the-transfer?for details.

Judi -- No attachment came over here, so we're kind of in the dark.

Why is this an attachment?

Taking a guess...some types of embedded images are converted to attachments by groups.io. I cannot provide a clear reason why some and not others.

Also, Outlook automatically creates a winmail.dat file that is sometimes (read: often unnecessarily) attached to messages it sends in html format.

Beyond that, you will have to be more specific as to what the problem is, or (preferably) send us a screenshot.

Not really. But some groups allow hashtags to be "created" simply by placing one in the subject line of a message. This depends on your group Settings.

Is there an option to have a Like button for forum messages?
There already is one, and it cannot be disabled.

Can a group owner modify the display name of a member? (E..g to include Apt. Number)
Yes.?

Is there a display Preview option for content at external liinks?
You mean like Facebook? No.

Are animations like Gyphy permitted?
It is not prohibited site-wide, but many groups don't like it very much, because such things proliferate in the Emailed Photos folder, which may eventually cause the group to exceed its storage allotment.

Hope this helps,
