Sort of...? As long as you don't use the overview page list, /, to get to your group/messages, the site will remember the last view you selected.? The overview page appears to be hard-coded for topics when you click on the group name.? Unfortunately, Topics then becomes the default view.? The Your Groups drop down does remember though.

Is there a way to set the display to default to MESSAGES instead of TOPICS?

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.

Any photos uploaded before the limit was set will still be at their original size/storage.? I hope this helps.

It's happening to a lot of people with Yahoo email addresses.?

/g/GroupManagersForum/message/6120

Follow up messages sent outside of GIO may or may not get through, either.

Gotta love Yahoo!

Okay, it is possible to set it up so others can edit folder content. See attached screenshot.

Once you have that set up, click on the "copy link" button and paste that somewhere in your group.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Victoria - To let people access your Google drive, you have to create a folder and share it.?



Once you set up a link address from the sharing dialogue you can put that in your GIO group as we've discussed previously. From that point forward anything you drag into the folder should be visible to group members via clicking on the link.

I know of no way to make the folder public so others can upload to it. Perhaps someone with more experience can help you with that part.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Latest: visible groups - 5207, Poster ID - 1,904,761.? Should we start a pool on when it will hit 2,000,000? ;>)

What is this about? This is not a new member, and has not had trouble before.

Shal, thanks for the information.

The idea was to use google drive as a photo storage place easily recognizable for members on the home page and accessable for everyone without great technical knowledge. I understood now that this isn?t possible, so I just put this idea to sleep:-).

My other problem stays unsolved: Originally I wanted to use the photo section as storage place for fotos, but the resizing function doesn?t really work. And even though Duane already explained to me that the displayed size isn?t the real size, fotos still show up much bigger than they are supposed to be. And the storage counter shows MB numbers that seem to be out of context. So I havent?t figured that out yet. As long as this insecurity exists, I cannot offer this foto service to my members fearing storage space might quickly be exceded. Does anyone here have any experience with this foto resizing function?

Victoria

Thank you everybody. Sorry for asking a dumb question.
I didn't notice the small Private button at the bottom of the message.
One more information to put in my Wiki instructions for members.

In my group I have 474 members in red bouncing status. All have Yahoo accounts. I am not sure which is the best way to deal with this.
I am thinking of sending a notice/alert in the group (in case bouncing members at least read posts online) and then simply delete all bouncing accounts.
Any better suggestions?

Dougsinc,

I've sent the invitation to [email protected] but haven't received
the confirmation, yet.

It may take a while for you to reach the head of the queue, but when the transfer agent is ready to be promoted you should receive (at your Groups.io log-in address) a notification with the instructions to proceed.

would it cause a problem if I also sent invitations to my members? And
also told them they could subscribe by email?

One disadvantage, that J mentioned, is that then you may have conversations in two places, and those that haven't yet joined the new group may feel left out.

Another disadvantage is that any address already in the Groups.io group will be skipped when the transfer agent is copying the Y!Group's Manage Members list. Which means that their Email Delivery, Posting Privileges, and Join Date will not be copied. The first two you could copy by hand, but some might be nostalgic for their original join date.

Jill,

The group owner cannot access the group and hasn't been able to for a
long time. ... Can we move to Groups IO in this situation i.e. the two
moderators are active the but the group owner is locked out?

It depends on what privileges the moderators have. The first step is that the transfer agent has to become a member of the group. If the group's membership is restricted then you need a moderator with the ability to "Invite and add members" or "Approve pending members".

What may be more troublesome is whether anyone can promote the transfer agent to moderator. A moderator can do that if he/she has the privilege to "Add, remove, and change moderator privileges"

To see if you have the privilege, go to the Manage Members page, Moderators tab, and click on the other moderator's row, anywhere except at the checkbox. If that opens up an Edit Member dialog showing the Moderator Privileges then you have the privilege to change them. And also to change the Role field between Member and Moderator. If nothing happens, you do not.

If the transfer agent cannot be promoted to moderator then it cannot retrieve the members' email addresses from the Manage Members list. I don't know if the copy operation is possible in that case.

Sure. The new group can have any name. ?And as long as you can contact the person, you can invite them to the new group or they can just join it. If they’re still a member of the yahoo group, they’ll be transferred anyway, even if they can’t currently access the yahoo group.?

Hello

I've been thinking of transferring?our group for months now. I have a couple of questions:

1. Are you able to change the name of the group on transfer so that it keeps the same membership but the new group has a new name?

2. There are two moderators (I am one) and a group owner. We are all in touch with each other. The group owner cannot access the group and hasn't been able to for a long time. We can't find a way to transfer ownership to one of us. Can we move to Groups IO in this situation i.e. the two moderators are active the but the group owner is locked out?

Best wishes

Jill?

Underscores are OK in Yahoo group names.

Spaces and slashes would not be OK.

Andy
