Go to the Poll posting online, click on the More menu below it, select Edit Poll.? If you don't have the Edit Poll option, either the topic is locked or you don't have permission to edit it.

Re: e-mail and ip addresses

 

Re: "?is there a way to see where the message was from"?
When viewing on the web, no, the sender's email is not displayed.
In the message received in your email client though, the sender's email is included in the From: field of the message.? Your post has your yahoo email address in it, for example.
As far as the IP address and the route the email took to get to you, you might be able to view what you're looking for in the source/original text of the email.? In Gmail, the option on the message is "Show Original".? ??
Your post shows this field:
X-Received: from 103.217.167.128 (EHLO MARVINPC) ([103.217.167.128])
? ? ? ? ? by smtp428.mail.bf1.yahoo.com (Oath Hermes SMTP Server) with ESMTPA ID 41e913a3439221b31a064581d53190b7

Can members of a group upload files?

 

Hi,

I notice that I, as the group owner, can upload files to the group. How do I permit others to upload files to my group?

Carl


e-mail and ip addresses

Marvin Hunkin
 

Hi. was wondering. In google chrome if you press shift f 10 or the applications key and then arrow down to page source. Then it loads in ?I think or notepad ++. Could not find the person say in a message on a thread in groups.io. is there a way to see where the message was from, their e-mail, and their ip address.

Thanks.

Not necessarily exactly but have a read of this:: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Removed-for-spam.

It is not "copyright" of the GMF so feel free to copy it into your own wiki so that your members can be pointed to it. As an alternative you can just point them at the link as the GMF wiki is publicly accessible anyway.

Subscriber was removed for marking a message as spam

David Haun
 

Hi, I am getting messages that "Subscriber was removed for marking a message as spam."? The member was notified they were removed, can re-join, they asked me why.? Since it hasn't happened to me, does anyone know exactly what the member did when "marking a message as spam" and what they can do to prevent it from happening again?? Thanks, David

Thanks for that reply, Duane. Good to know that this was already suggested to Beta some time back.

Re: Turn off Database Map or default to List #database

 

Hi Duane,
There IS a toggle, but it's NOT sticky - therein be the problem.
Several of the groups I run are Premium and the map is included there. Any time you engage the "address" for the field type, you're stuck with the map as default and it's causing a ruckus. We need to collect addresses for things other than actually "getting there", but defaulting to the map every time someone opens the database renders it useless for us. I changed the field to "paragraph" to get out of it, but still...

Think I'll rattle Mark's cage.
Thanks!
Ginny

Partly because there are easy ways to replace the file, and also because there are so many file types that it might be impossible.? For something that gets changed often, it might be worthwhile to try using a Wiki page.? That would be easily edited.? You could set it so that only moderators could make changes, if needed.? Unfortunately, there's currently not a setting for "owner or moderator only" on Wiki pages like there is for a database.

Re: UNABLE TO EDIT FILES ON THE IO FILE PAGE #howto

 

Hello again All.

I'd like to slightly update my original post starting this topic.

My original concern was that it is no way to simply edit the TEXT of an existing file in the Files Section of my IO group, which USED TO BE doable on Y!Groups.

Peter Cook's suggestions for several icon changes are very good but it would be helpful to also include an option/icon for 'Edit File Text' to make it simpler for a moderator/owner (or the poster of a file) to make a minor change to an existing file's text without having to wade through a clumsy 'delete/post new file' sequence.

This would prove a particularly valuable option if there were only a typo or other mininal change to be made to a particular file/document.

If we are able to arrive at a suitable concensus for what might be the best change(s) for such file editing options athat point they should then be presented to the Beta Group.

Comments? Suggestions?

OK ¡ª HTH

Best suggestion so far IMHO... separate icons and descriptions for what are really separate processes to begin with.

What would be clearer to me would be to
  • change "Edit" to "File Properties", change the icon to a file icon with an I (see below) and use it only to change the file name and description,
  • add an icon for "Replace File" (perhaps a file icon with an up arrow), which provides the reupload function,
  • change the "Move" scissors icon to a file icon with a horizontal arrow (scissors generally indicate "cut"),
  • and make sure the words seen when hovering over an icon are identical to the words seen in the resulting dialog.

Thank you for your reply and suggestions Shal.
I will keep experimenting and keep you posted.

For messages try using the Add Pictures button instead of copy/paste.

Are the images you're trying to paste particularly large, or in an
unusual image format? If so, try using a photo editing program to scale
them down and/or convert them to a standard format like jpg or png.

If you can narrow down the circumstances that causes the error it may be
worth reporting to support.

Al,

Many of the images that I copy/paste into messages and calendar events
are stripped and then show an error like this:

Re: Groups.io accounts not subscribed to any group

 

Agree that the risk is low, but a derelict account still increases the attack surface with no benefits. Who knows what undiscovered vulnerabilities or ways to exploit a dead account will pop up tomorrow? Security is always a balance between cost, convenience and safety. Deleting a dead account yields a bit of security at almost no effort, and no loss of convenience. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Best, Marv


Images in messages and calendar often stripped and then show a "blob" error message

 

Many of the images that I copy/paste into messages and calendar events are stripped and then show an error like this:?

¡°Cannot convert blob:/35dfe00a-1983-45f1-92eb?to Blob. Resource might not exist or is inaccessible.¡±?

How can I resolve this?

?

Thanks,
