I have to confess I and my members also miss the comments feature. I get off list messages, mags please enable comments for photos, so I respond with, sorry it simply isn't in my power to do that, sigh, despite all the moans we had about Yahoo groups, it did spoil us.

I started a Yahoo group in 2004, did a short 'about' write up outlining what was offered, would be subscribers had to send a brief message saying why they wanted to join. Within a week I had a dozen members, growth was slow, but gradually as word spread within the area my group covered, the dozen became 2500. In 2004 my area of interest existed in a small niche software market, machine embroidery software, I made videos showing how a small selection of the programs worked and how to use them. As a listed group I attracted 'freeby hunters', and group collectors, one boasted she belonged to over 100 groups, so in 2007 I altered the group to be an unlisted one, sent mails at weekly intervals stating I would remove all 'special' notices members, ( treat all members as vips so 'special Notices' members never got information) permanent bouncers, anyone that didn't respond with I want to continue my membership by a given date. They had 2 months to decide. I culled the membership to 700, was unlisted, put all members on permanent moderation, appointed 2 moderators, and made membership by invitation only.?
I made the move to Groups.io Dec 31st, informed my members, asked them to let me know if they wanted to be part of the move, they have until Feb 28th to make up their minds, on March 1st I will simply delete the old group. After I unlisted my Yahoo group all new member requests came via existing member requests. I intend to stick with the same procedure here in Groups.io, I neither desire or want members that are not interested in learning how to improve their skill set, offer support and encouragement to fellow old and new members. If what you offer via your group proves to be of value, word of mouth becomes a great marketing tool, but be warned as word of mouth can also destroy a group if members feel a group doesn't fulfil its members needs. So far my new group here has 124 members, it will grow slowly but that's what I want, I have no desire to own the biggest group there is, I want my members to enjoy their membership experience.?

Have reported it it to support...

I did a some further testing, which showed that '#word,' (note comma), as created on appending event date/time to the title, is not seen as a valid hashtag.

Hi,

I am new to this. I just created my first group and set it to bi private. It seems it is not visible even for me. I just get error

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.
We can’t connect to the server at ...

I mean I cannot even access group administration.

Actually, after I created group it seemed normal, but then I decided to set how subgroups work, and created subgroup which I also set to be private. After that I was unable to access group or subgroup.

I cannot even access to delete group to start over.

Is this a bug or I did something wrong?

Has there been any thought/discussion to add one (or more) fields to the member information?

Not trying to turn the member list into a full-out database - but for some lists it's nice to have one more bit of information about a person.? ?What street you live on for the neighborhood list.? What your plot number is for the community garden list.? ?Stuff like that.?

I could certainly add a database, but that would have to be maintained separate from the list membership, which will end up being out of sync over time.??

Couldn't find anything searching old topics - is this wish list worthy?

Hi, I'm new here.? But have had a yahoo group for 4 years come next month. Time for a move.? Here.

I get new members via other members in the group.

I have been reading the updates since they began and saw you can send invites. anyone know how?

I tried putting something on a calendar page, then it was sent to members.

What showed up was a button, outlined in grey, within it was a blue outlined page, with one corner turned down.
Below this was the link? invite.ics

As the owner of the group I tried in my personal email to open it, and it would not.

Here, in this message i clicked on it and it gave me a OPEN LINK , but again, nothing happened.

Please, help if you can, I want to move my yahoo group here, but first need to learn more.

Yup,
Yahoo allowed owners to ban owners.
We had one of our colleagues literally go bananas and send "shouting" messages to us when we asked why he bugged a member the way he did, forcing her to leave.
The message to us were full of 30 font curses, etc.
Two of us had to coordinate removing him from more than one group and other secure access assets by telephone after actually making a script detailing what to do in order.
Otherwise he would have banned one or more of us while we were processing things if he got even a hint.

All owners have equal standing, so any one of them could demote or ban the others, as well as delete the group.? (I'm pretty sure it was the same way on Y!)? The only way to prevent it is to make everyone else a moderator with fewer privileges.

This is a bug.? It appeared when Mark started copying mid-subject hashtags to the end of the line on regular messages.? I reported it on Dec 19, but I think you should, too.? It may just be in backlog since he was on vacation for awhile.

Duane

Can an owner ban another owner? Or demote them to regular member?

I just wondered how this works on groups.io. I can see this being a
problem in some groups but didn't know how this works.

Wanting to set a hashtag for an event (so that it could e.g. be muted), I just added it at the end of the event name, thus "Another Test Event #Test", as I would to the subject of an ordinary message, but it did not take effect as expected - it just had the hashtag '#cal-reminder' on the reminder message, when I expected it to have '#Test' also.?

Should I be doing something different? Or have I found a bug? I think it used to work that way (see handling of 'Group Managers Forum subscription reminder #admin' monthly event in this group).

Jeremy

You should only need to ban them from the main group.? They would have to be a member of that to get into a subgroup.? That would cut down on the number of steps you have to take.? I doubt that there will ever be a way to apply any action to members of multiple main groups.

I think I have maybe 3-4 band?people ?on 1 group alone, but this is a very specific group and the rules are strict. If one brakes them once they are gone. ?The reason O would want a ban ?for all groups I own is to that they cannot come back to any of my groups, ever. I would want to do this in 1 step not 8 or 10 ?depending on the amount of groups and sub groups I have. For now I have to copy and paste all the addresses I have on the ban list from 1 group to the others.. It works for now. I don't midn spending about 4 minutes out of my day to do this. I'm strict but that's because I have to be. 90 percent ?of the time the membors moderate themselves but there are times when I have to stap in and kick someone out and ban them.

Nancy,

Is it it the same for summaries?

No, Summaries are once per day regardless of the amount of traffic in the group. For GMF mine have been arriving around 6 am U.S. Pacific time. I don't know if that's true of all groups.

We are trying to determine if a Digest is generated after so many
(12 ?) messages are posted to our group. Or is it a 24 hour period?

Both.

To amplify on what J said, for Digests it is once per day, plus once per 12 messages if there are more than 12 in the day. For GMF my dailies have been arriving around 10:15 pm U.S. Pacific time.

Example: 18 messages posted will generate 2 digests a day.

Correct. A digest of 12 when twelve have accumulated, and a digest of 6 at the end of the "day".

NOTE:

Digests need not be the same for all members.

If a member has muted a topic or hashtag then his/her digest(s) will contain fewer messages. In your example, that member may reach a total of 12 later in the day than other members, or might not reach it at all and receive only one digest. Or even none if all of that day's messages were in topics or hashtags muted by that member.

Likewise, members using advanced subscription preferences to receive only messages they follow will have fewer messages than those members who receive all messages.
