Re: Duplicate Calendar Holidays

 

I assumed that Becky had duplicate events because?she had 2 Holidays calendars selected. Deselecting one would remove the duplicates.

1st... to quote text just select the text to quote and hit reply. This works on the web site as well as mail.app.

2nd. To use you group profile photo without it ending up like text you have to embed the html into the message. I havn¡¯t exactly figured that out because it appears to be difficult to do on the iPad. The tools provided by groups.io may not let you do it.

477 was not a link in Tim's post and if you click on 478 in the links that is where you go, not to 477.

Re: Signature images #MacSupportCentral

 

Yeah, but looking at your email app, try and accurately find it every time, when a little time has passed. You also threw up some dust by attributing it to the wrong person.

.i wish everyone used them!...being able to see an image of the poster is significant...i'd put my image in my sig in a heartbeat if i knew how to do it...btw, it ain't about vanity; it's about connection.

I¡¯m hesitant to prolong this discussion, given how much acrimony it¡¯s engendered, but I¡¯ll ask one more naive question. If I do find a ¡°sfw¡± potential avatar, will it bloat the size of every post I make, or will it actually be stored on the io groups servers and be ¡°loaned¡± to the posts?

And, at the risk of prolonging it, I¡¯d like to note that reading this group on iOS (at least as I have it configured in iOS mail on my iPhone 11 Pro) is really painful. Every single message in a conversation appears every time a new message is posted in the topic, along with all the html links that live inconspicuously at the bottom of the message panel on a Mac, but appear as equals with the message itself in iOS. I don¡¯t know if this is the only option.

Tim, quoting a post number does not help. I assume you are on digest, because finding a post by number in email is a pain. And it was Jim Robertson.

OK. Got it. Thanks.
Re: Signature images #MacSupportCentral

 

Actually, it looks like it started out as Testing an Attachment, someone changed it to Signature Attachment, then hash tags added #MacSupportCentral.

At least that is how Mail.app shows the thread.

Personally, I can do without the additional #(hashtag) or the change in subject line.

I normally don't read by thread, and when I am on my iPad, I don't believe it is available in Mail.app. Not that I have looked for threading in iOS.

No, we ALL are NOT annoyed. It appears that three folks are annoyed and causing all the bickering. If the moderators agree that it is ok for the picture, then it is ok. Either ignore or remove the picture if you want. There have been two or three folks that have expressed approval.

I have no problem with the picture. You do. That¡¯s OK. We can agree to disagree, but please BE CIVIL about it. It seems that the vast majority of folks do NOT have a problem with the picture.

Could we possibly end this thread and go back to broken computers, phones and OS!?

Fully expecting to be the recipient of flames over this, but please, STOP IT!
