Hi,
Thanks for your comments! You're certainly right, it would be better to have all transferred at once, and soonest. FWIW, it might be an advantage to have it messy. The changes will be more prominent in the local headlines and, as they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity. |

Re: A few questions about transferring a group
For this very reason, our Yahoo! group had two (then three) co-owners. When one died, the other was hard to get hold of, but having the third made it possible to continue and eventually transfer the group. We wouldn't have it any other way, so immediately upon creation of the new group, we made a co-owner of an trusted and active member.

Re: How does a Bounce get Reset?
Bruce,
Look her up in the members list. If the "B" code is blue, GIO is still trying to send her posts,... Niggling detail: at that point Groups.io is not sending group postings, but is sending bounce probes - one every few days. ? and will unbounce her as soon as one goes through. If it's red, you can manually send a new bounce probe at the bottom of the page. You can send an ad-hoc bounce probe in either "bouncing" (blue B) or "bounced" (red B) status. And the member him/herself will be prompted to have one sent if he/she logs on to the site.

Re: A few questions about transferring a group
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýKen, ? The transfer was completed transfer three days later. That was wonderful response time. How long ago was that? I made [email protected] a moderator and am still waiting the start of the transfer. ? Bob schechter ?

Re: Simple question - is possible to print the Database Tables?
Confused, "export is too small?" - maybe I'm missing something but the export gives you the data in CSV () format so that you can use it any way you want, like import into Excel, etc.? That said, it helps to be familiar with working with CSV data and files.
Unfortunately, the button on GIO generates the content of the CSV file and displays it in the browser, instead of sending you a downloadable file directly.? But (on Windows) you can right-click on the button and select "Save link as..." and then save the file, be sure to change the extension from .txt to .csv.? Then, assuming you have Excel, you can open that file and your data is in a spreadsheet and you can print/format however you want.? The export will work better if you have a lot of data. Then again - you may have copied/pasted the CSV text from the browser into Word and done an Insert->Table->Convert text to table (Separate text at commas) operation to give you all the data in a Table in Word in (almost) one step.? That works also. I'll post a comment in the Beta forum to request changing the button to directly generate a downloadable file, or better yet, optionally generate a Excel spreadsheet file. HTH.? Thanks for this diversion this morning! :) Toby |

Re: google drive integration
I hope it does help. Be advised of folder security, though. Anyone who figures out the link address will be able to mess with those files.
For that reason I suggest posting it in a secure location...one inaccessible to non-subscribers. Your home page is probably not the best choice, because it could show up in a search engine even if you don't have your group listed in the GIO directory. Bruce |

Re: How does a Bounce get Reset?
Paul,
I need to tell her how to reset her Bounce. On her membership page, down at the bottom, you can click the Send Bounce Probe button, I think you can also use Send Message to send her info, but of course both of those assume her email address is now working. ShalShe has to receive and respond to a bounce probe in order to unbounce her address. If her status is "bouncing" (blue B) then Groups.io will automatically send her one a few days after the last attempt. -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: bouncing
Marina,
I am thinking of sending a notice/alert in the group (in case bouncing members at least read posts online) ... If they log on to Groups.io while their address is bouncing they'll see a red banner at the top of every page telling them that their address is bouncing. I don't remember for certain at the moment but I think in that condition they are not allowed to access members-only content until they unbounce. and then simply delete all bouncing accounts. ? As I said earlier, for those that went bouncing immediately after being copied in from a Yahoo Group that's probably fine.But for those that went bouncing more recently it is possible that Yahoo Mail will cure its glitches and those members you could send them an ad-hoc bounce probe to see if they are able to unbounce themselves. I wouldn't summarily remove them from your group. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: A few questions about transferring a group
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI had the same problem, the YG list owner had a falling out with YG several years ago and the two moderators carried on for over ten years without contact.? I set up a new list last July on groups.io? I invited [email protected]? BUT I couldn't make that new member a moderator (and neither could the other moderator).? So with the aid of some list members, this January we finally found the YG list owner and he agreed to transfer the list and made me a co-owner.? Immediately I made [email protected] a moderator and started the transfer; it completed three days later. ken clark www.shastasprings.com

I'm getting at least two yahoo members bouncing per day, sometimes unbouncing and then bouncing again.

resizing fotos doesn?t work
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDuane, thanks again. So I?ll try that out and hope it works. Victoria --- I did an experiment this morning (in the US) on uploading photos to be resized.? I have the group set to limit them to 312x312.? The photo I uploaded was 10560x6832, 3.37MB.? A quick check of the storage used after upload showed no change, so it was definitely reduced.? On the photo overview listing of albums, right clicking showed the photo to be 720x466 resized to 307x240 and 42.7KB.? Clicking on the photo to open it in the view window shows the same information, but shows a size below it of 12.01KB.? Clicking the Download button opens the photo as stored and info shows 312x202 and 12.01 KB. |
