Re: NC - Means
That means they haven't confirmed that the email address they signed up with is theirs.? They should have clicked on the link in the confirmation email they were sent.? On a free group, you can go to the members group information, scroll to the bottom, and send a new confirmation email.? If it's a paid group, you can confirm them there.

ThanksMy feeling was that the reason the data will have been obtained and used won't change, so permission will not be required. However, we're very keen that we operate erring on the side of 'legal requirement +', rather than 'what is the minimum we need to do'. |
Re: Split Group For Transfer?
It could probably be done, but I wouldn't do it.? To me, it seems to go against the spirit of limited storage for free groups.
Depending on how much over you are and how important detail is for the photos, you might be able to have them imported at a reduced scale, to the same group as the files, to get under the limit.

Hi
I am not an expert on GDPR. ?However, the consent you require is not specific to the communication medium you use so if you obtained consent of the data subject (or you met one of the other five lawful reasons to hold data apply - necessary for performance of a contract; compliance with a legal obligation; to protect the vital interests of a data subject; performance of a task carried out in the public interest; necessary for the performance of legitimate interests by the data controller) then you can continue to send message via groups.io just like you did when using yahoogroups. Trust this helps. |
Bulk Upload of Files
I have a group where the owner has passed away and none of the moderators can invite [email protected] a member.? The group is just a file storage overflow of another group.? I have backed up the group using PF Offline so have all of the files.
Can I do a bulk upload to groups.io or am I facing the prospect of having to upload each file and/or folder individually? TIA Bruce Wilson Barrie, Ontario |

Split Group For Transfer?
I have a group where the combined size of files and photos exceed the allotment on groups.io.? Can I split the group into two separate transfers with one keeping the old group name and the other being the photos transferred to something like old group-photos?

Re: Attached Picture Not In Emailed Photos.
Don,
?
Yep, that's it.
?
?
That confirms that the image was embedded using the cid: (content id) scheme.
?
?
Yes, that heading describes the image file, attached to the message with the image content encoded below that point. Note the Content-ID marker. If there were more than one image in the message body each would be identified by its own unique Content-ID.
?
All of this seems perfectly normal, so I still have no clue why this image would not appear in the group's Emailed Photos folder. Possibly it has to do with how the email interface constructed or nested the MIME parts that hold the text/plain (if any), text/HTML, and the image/jpeg portions of the message. You (wisely) didn't post the entire message source, so I can't see the fields that would tell me about that.
Maybe you should report this to [email protected], including the group name and message number. Shal

Data protection regulations and newsgroup transfer query
#transfer
michaelcharlesmorris
We're looking at transferring our members-only UK-based Yahoo newsgroup to a new Group.io newsgroup.? Our society set up the newsgroup many years ago.?
With the new?General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) coming into force in May this year I am concerned that the members did not each give us their express permission to use there data from the Yahoo newsgroup to use ona new groups.io platform.? Has anyone had any experience or legal advice on whether we can transfer their info to the Groups.io forum without first obtaining there express permission to do so? Thanks |
Facebook integration speed
#integration
michaelcharlesmorris
I'm looking to transfer our Yahoo newsgroup to Groups.io.? It seems so much better that Yahoo. For one,it actually works!.? I particularly like the integration with Facebook. I have one query though.? When I post a test message on our facebook page, it takes over a hour to get to my test group.io page.? Is this normal?? Is there any way of speeding this up?
Thanks |
Re: Attached Picture Not In Emailed Photos.
Don, The picture does show in the groups message, and I think as an attachment. Here's an example with images sent as part of the message body, using the cid: scheme (image file attached to the message). Note that the images appear inline with the message text, and also in the Emailed Photos album. This is pretty much the "normal", or at least most common, embedded format: Here's an example with images sent as attached files. Notice that the images appear as thumbnails below the message body and you can click on them to see them full size (or depending on your browser settings, download them). These too appear in the Emailed Photos album: I copied the element using Google Chrome as the browser to inspect element. Yeah, that's not the same as looking at the message's View Source, from the More menu. What you're looking at there is the web page source, and for display in the group's pages Groups.io must change the reference scheme of the photo to point to the copy stored in the group's storage. This doesn't show how it was in the message as Groups.io received it. Even so, it says that Groups.io copied the image from the message and put it into storage separately from the message body. That leads me to expect that they would appear also in Emailed Photos, so I'm not sure what's going on. I can't tell how the picture came through in my individual mail, as I can't That's unfortunate. Though what we'd really need is a cc of the original post sent to an address where the view source could be inspected - rather than a copy returned from the group (and possibly modified by Groups.io on the way through).
