Running the transfer a second time to pick up photos missed the first time

 

I know Shal Farley mentioned this as an option on another message, but I couldn't find it now.? Our group is signed up as a paid group and was able to successfully move everything but the photos to groups.io. ? I believe photos was down on Yahoo at the time. ? It is now back up.

I tried using the advice suggested with only the "photos" box checked, but nothing happened and the transfer did not even register as a pending transfer in the transfer status drop down box.? I figured that since [email protected] was already a moderator in the old group that no action would be required there.? When nothing happened,? I deleted and then re-entered [email protected] as a member.? That user has apparently accepted the invitation, but I did not receive the notice requesting that I make them a moderator.? I made them a moderator with all privileges except to delete the group.? Still, nothing.

The status of transfer drop down still shows nothing, not even the completed first transfer.? I am not the owner who initiated the first transfer.? Could that be the issue?? Any thoughts on what the issue is?

You may also want to do that for #cal-invite.? That's the one that seems to get abused the most.? It sends a new one every time someone edits an event and some people 'need' to make 20 or 30 edits. ;>)? I set all of my #cal- tags (invite, notice, and reminder) to moderated, in case we need to have one post.

Re: Send Invite To Group (tagged with #cal-invite) needs to default to unchecked

 

Thanks Andy,

I made the following changes this morning. It has not been tested yet
In the hashtags settings, I was able to disable emails to the group that have the has tag?#cal-notice.? Hopefully this will fix it??


Question about Files management #files #folders

 

Hello all,

I manage a small private group for the board of directors of a nonprofit and I have 2 questions.

1) We manually migrated about 12 years of files from Yahoo a few months back and they are a big mess, with obscurely named files in all sorts of folders. I am determined to clean things up by renaming and reclassifying (via folders).

When I do a Search on Files, I don't see what folder each file is in. Is this something that can be achieved by changing settings? Or does it seem like a valid/beneficial change request?

2) Is there a way to attach hashtags to files? I would like to use one or two hashtags to cross-reference files to a particular location and/or year so that they can be searched in this manner. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,
Chris?

I don't know where you or your members are located, but the words "Data Protection" spring to mind.

The European GDPR's tentacles reach further than you might imagine, Groups of which I am a member do not have any "personal" information beyond members' email addresses, and IIRC they are covered by the Groups.io Privacy Policy. Start collecting your own and that will not be covered by the "corporate" Policy, and you will / may need to have your own Data Protection / Privacy Policy and have a positive means of preventing the misuse of any personal information that you collect.

Chris.


Re: Send Invite To Group (tagged with #cal-invite) needs to default to unchecked

 

Hi Jim,

it was changed to be that was in Feb 2018; I'm not up to date with the reasoning behind that.

I'm not aware that a user or group setting can override that default.? If there is, it could be useful to know.

I've now had three test messages sent.? An image attachment from a Apple desktop and another from an Apple mobile. Both messages came through fine and the images were added to the emailed photos album.

The third was sent from an Apple desktop with a PDF document attached, which also came through fine.

Were they images, or something else? I suspect this guy simply hasn't mastered his technology, but I'm not going to go out and buy an iPhone just to find out.

The proliferation of embedded images that get duplicated by people who reply without trimming has become intolerable. Pending resolution of this (and similar*) problems I have switched my groups to plain-text message delivery.?

Re: See in membership list if there are notes

 

Samuel,


However, when I view the member list, I can't see (in the list) which
members have notes.? So, is there a way to make that visible?

Not that I know of.
See also:

I've been noodling on a suggestion for beta about this, but haven't written it up yet (looking like a busy work week). She specifically needs a column that can be sorted by, not just a badge or other indication. You can spearhead the suggestion if you like.

Re: Help: Earthlink now bouncing emails sent to *me* from Groups.io groups I own

 

Charles


You mention that Junu and Virginia presumably unbounced themselves.? How is that done?? What is the Unbounce Operation?

One unbounces by responding to a bounce probe. I believe either by email reply or by clicking a link.

Note though that this will not change Earthlink's behavior. If they're still blocking some messages addressed to you then you're likely to end up with Bouncing status again.

Also, what does the Bounce Probe do? ?

Tests whether the email account receives messages from Groups.io

I sent one to those affected and see in the Recent Successful Delivery that the message was accepted.

I think the member must take an overt action to complete the unbounce - either by replying to the message or clicking on a link in it. Though on a technical basis I'm not sure why the acceptance itself wouldn't be considered sufficient.

Send Invite To Group (tagged with #cal-invite) needs to default to unchecked

 

Is there a way to set? the default calendar option? " Send Invite To Group (tagged with #cal-invite)"? to unchecked.? My members are having a difficult time remembering to uncheck it every time they change the calendar
Thank You


Re: Sending images on Apple devices

 

Hi Bruce,

I've just had a member of one of my groups send messages from a MAC desktop and Apple mobile phone with attachments and they came through just fine.

Andy


Sending images on Apple devices

 

I have a subscriber telling me that they cannot send images as attachments on their Apple device. They all have to be embedded.

Is this true or am I being handed a line?

There was some discussion (a couple of years ago?) on beta about creating a database for owners/moderators that related to members.? The main objective was to allow a mandatory signup questionnaire on groups that require information before accepting members.? Sort of like the 'reason for joining' on YG!, but more detailed.? Mark expressed an interest in doing this, but I don't think there's been any activity on it recently.? If/when implemented, that might cover everything you want.? Adding entries to your own database will be more work until then, but should do what you want.? As a suggestion, you could have a column that you fill in when you've completed your detail entry, say a Y/N option, then you could sort on it to easily see which members are incomplete.

After a quick think, maybe you could have a database that only had a Y/N column, along with the members email address, that you could fill in after adding a Note to their member page.? Probably lots of possibilities, some less work than others.

Samuel, the directory may be public to the rest of the group, but the member list in Admin isn¡¯t. There is a pink NC beside member names that have not been confirmed.

It would be nice if the NC were sortable from the dropdown menu - like bouncing and banned. This is probably not all what you are looking for though.?

Well perhaps you would like to clarify exactly what your question is then.
Sorry, I did not mean to be rude.

1. I wanted to know if there is a way to see in the list of members whether a member has a note or not.

(the answer is: not yet, but it may be in the pipeline)

2. I was looking for a way to mark members as their real-world identities having been verified by a human being.

The "notes" field would be a good way to do that, since I could add information about each member that that member may consider private and not to be shared with other members of the group.

A database would be another option, I suppose. A database has the extra advantage that one can add all kinds of other information about each member (e.g. a picture). I've created a database for this, and will play with it a bit. I just had to export all members as a CSV file and them import it into the database to begin with.

I must just remember to create a new database entry whenever a new user joins.

Thanks, but the "confirmation" you're referring to relates only to whether the user has confirmed his subscription (confirmed that he agrees to be a member). My question is not related to that.
