Re: Wiki
Sharon,
There is a button that drops down a menu of pages but we would haveGroups.io's wiki is lacking in organizational features. The default wiki home page is an index of the pages, essentially duplicating what's in the Pages menu. But you can, as I did for GMF, replace that index page with a custom home page that creates the kind of organization you want to have. Not very convenient to maintain though, as it is all built with hand-crafted text, formatting, and links. Are there instructions anywhere?There's our beginnings of a guide in GMF's wiki. Thanks to JMichaelTX for getting it started. Anyone got the gumption to help fill in more details? /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Wiki-Guide-for-Users-and-Editors The formatting toolbar for Wiki pages is very similar to the message formatting toolbar, but not exactly the same. One interesting difference is that in wiki the Enter key is a paragraph break, Shift+Enter a line break. Message formatting is the opposite. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Message-composition-tips-and-tricks Is it true that only the images in the wiki count toward the storageThat's what the man says. /static/help#storagelimits Shal |

Re: Photo Album Ownership
Don,
I'm not sure what Mark could do about this. Do you?I'm not sure either. But I think his copy mechanism normally obtains the author information for each item. In the case of photos that would identify the member who uploaded them. If he still has that information it is possible he could retroactively apply it to the photos that were copied. Or maybe he could re-run the Photos copy, assuming he found and fixed whatever problem caused them not to have their original owner info copied into your Groups.io group. Shal |

From what I can tell, there is nothing wrong with the messages. I'm not sure what Mark could do about this. Do you? Don -----Original Message-----

Re: Photo Album Ownership
Don,
Yes, the albums were transferred by the agent. ... I told mark what toHmm. Sounds like an anomaly to me. Did the messages get proper attribution, or did they come out as from you as well? It appears what I will have to do is let the owner of the albumBefore starting that effort I'd contact [email protected] and see what they have to say about it. Perhaps they can go in and make the corrections without needing to re-upload. At the very least Mark will want to investigate why this happened and make sure it isn't happening to others. Shal |

Re: Photo Album Ownership
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI think I have to agree with you. ? Don ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Duane ? At present, there's no way to change that other than having the original person create an album and upload them.? I don't see anything about this on the TODO list, so you might suggest it on |

Yes, the albums were transferred by the agent. I did not transfer anything, it was all done by the agent. I told mark what to transfer, and those items were the Membership List, Photo Albums, and Archived Posts. I took care of the Databases, Files, and Links, before the transfer. It appears what I will have to do is let the owner of the album download all their pictures, then I would delete the album, letting the member make a new album to upload their pictures too.

Where these photos copied in by the transfer agent? And if so, did you do the transfer in two steps (content before members)? In my groups the transfer agent got this right, as expected.

Re: A few questions please
Mindy,
1) How can you change the subject line of a rejected post? (so itI wish you could. I could have sworn I'd requested it in beta, but maybe I've just thought of it so many times. What I do as a work-around is use Send Message instead, and if appropriate just Delete the pending message. The disadvantage is that it doesn't act as a Reply (that's a suggestion I've been intending to post in beta) so if you want to quote the member's post you have to copy it first, then click Send Message, paste it in the body, and mark it as a quote. A bit of a pain. 3) The daily digest on io is very short, I am getting several a day.Are you looking at the list at the top of the digest? That is a list of topic headings. If a topic has a number in parenthesis on it then it contains more than one message. Add those up, including the implicit (1) for topics with a single message. If that doesn't equal 12, and if this isn't the last Digest you received that day for that group, then that would seem to be a bug to report to support. Is there a way to set how many new messages it has?No. 5) When a message is received, it shows as sent to the group, as wellOdd, I'm not seeing that in my email client (Thunderbird) nor in Gmail's web interface. I'm not sure what's going on there. Shal |
