Who "owns" a group - discussion
I'm posting this incident to start a discussion here, not to solve a problem....
A friend (yes, a friend, not me) decided to move his group form Y! to here.? ? But he came to groups to find a group with the same name already here.?? Turns out one of the group members didn't like his management style, so he started a competing (duplicate) group here on groups.? ?(Y! manager kept the group strictly on topic, and this person wanted the group to be able to have off-topic conversations). For this incident, my friend is working with support/mark to address the issue, and has started his own somewhat renamed group here on groups.io. The question for GMF: Has anyone else seen this with their groups, or with groups they are a part of??? - John |

Re: Guidelines link
If you don't mind the public seeing them, you could set the Group Guidelines and/or Wiki so that they're visible without being logged in.? If you do want folks to be logged in to see them, then you should suggest on beta that the login follow through to the Group Guidelines page like Wiki does.

Re: Can transferring files be done separately?
#files
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYou can transfer any or all, but you will have one possible problem by moving anything yourself. Anything you download off your site, and then upload to your new site, will change the ownership of those files to you. If that doesn¡¯t matter, then go for it. ? Don ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tammi McKinley, CPM ? Can you transfer the group without files and then later on transfer the files in? We are going through files to see what to get rid of and better organize them but wanted to know if we could transfer without the files, first. Otherwise we could transfer everything and then organize what¡¯s transferred. Tammi |

Re: Was my invitation accepted?
The online instructions at /yahootransfer?says that the transfer agent will do the transfer "within one business day." If this was changed to something more accurate it might help with the unrealistic expectations.

Re: Symbol for priorizing titles in files
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý? Well, I tried out these symbols (*, ^, #), and they definitely don?t work in front of letters. So I?ll have to take numbers which is quite uncomfortable since I don?t want to number my hundreds of files. Too bad¡but thanks Victoria -- Unfortunately, in your case, it looks like Mark did too good of a job on the sort.? I did some quick testing this morning and found that standard symbols (*, ^, #) are always first, numbers second, and letters (ignoring case) after.? I didn't find any invisible characters that stay invisible, such as Alt+0141. |

Re: HELP! Hyphen in group name/URL not recognized
From your example, it looks like the Group Title and Group Email Address are set correctly in those boxes.? I believe what you are seeing in the Welcome email is a function of the client program you're using for email.? Mine all work as they should in Thunderbird.

Re: HELP! Hyphen in group name/URL not recognized
Works fine on one of my groups.? On the Settings page, check in the 1st and 2nd boxes.? If you have those both set to PAD-CO, it should work properly.
BTW, all of us here on GMF are site users, like you, and have no capability for changing things.? Suggestions should be made on the beta group.? Bugs should be reported to [email protected].

HELP! Hyphen in group name/URL not recognized
HELP! Hyphen in group name/URL not recognized
?
I just enrolled with the group name of PAD-CO, and find that the welcome email that is coming from Groups.IO has the URL as CO.io, not PAD-CO.IO, not recognizing anything before the hyphen and making the name useless.
?
So, I need to change the name to PADCO, or you need to change the program to recognize hyphens as a part of the URL.
?
Help!! ?Before I enroll anyone but myself under two different addresses. ?So far, I have only enrolled 2 emails, both mine, as I try to find the glitches. ?I seem to have found a major glitch.

Re: calender
Yes it can be done easily, but it's not really intuitive (until you've used it a few times. ;>)? Set Repeats to Weekly, then set Repeat Every to 2.? You can also specify that it occur on a day of the week.? Once you've made your selections, there will be a Repeat Summary at the bottom of the Repeats box where you can make sure it will do what you want.
