Is there anyway to change the display of postings to show the Posting number first in the threads?


 

On YahooGroups when I would go to look at the threads It could display them in the "Relaxed" "Slim" form with the message number first, then the message subject and then the user who submitted it and the date submitted. I would then manually copy this data and put it into a spreadsheet which allowed me to work with each posting using its posting number as the reference number.

I do not see a way to display the data on Groups.io like that (i.e. with the message number first). I tried exporting my group data to see if that would give me what I needed, but the json files were not showing what I needed and when I tried to open the Mbox file it was way to much info to parse for my needs.

Any idea on how to do this? I have attached a screen shot from YahooGroups of how the messages would display.

TIA!

You should be able to accomplish the same thing by using the Messages view, /g/GroupManagersForum/messages, since they get numbered as they come in.? You can reverse the sort order by using the Date at the upper right.

Joe, I see what you're trying to do.? I do that a lot to capture and work with data.? But groups.io is not displaying a tabular view with columns so it's gonna be hard to capture what you want in a way that works (to load into a spreadsheet for example).
Best bet is to find an mbox to csv converter like this ->?

(I googled 'read mbox excel' to find it, there may be others)

Thanks Toby! I will look into that.
