I took over ownership of a group that was on Yahoo. The group did not permit attachments, but I felt it wise to allow attachments - the Yahoo group owner wants me to retain ownership. There are two very different views held quite strongly by some members.
- Attachments should not be permitted - as was the case when it was Yahoo. Someone has threatened to leave over this.
- Attachments should be permitted - which is what I have currently put.
Someone sent several 10's of MB of photos on a post, and has caused some people on slow networks a LOT of problems. One person claims it took him three days to determine why his email had stopped, when in fact it was the large files from groups.io.
Now I know users can turn off attachments, but I'm wondering if it possible for me to enable them for the group, but disable them for each member unless they change that themselves.
It seems some people are being caught unaware of this. The used to be member of a group where they received no attachments, but now their inbox is filled up with photos.?
