If that person is already a member on io, nothing is copied.? If they're not on io, all of their settings are copied.? There will be one entry per email address, which is how members are identified.?

Do we just sign up for one as we signed up for Groups.io? I think you mean a subgroup.? You can have as many on a free group as you want.? Storage is allocated per main group, so all the items that use it in subgroups will count against the total.? You create subgroups using the menu for administrators. > > 4.

But an estimate would help. After the option became available, I set my groups to resize photos (on the Settings page) to 312x312.? One group currently has 546 photos, taking up 25MB.? That means I should be able to have about 20,000 photos, if I only stored photos.? Since I also use files and other things that use storage, it will be somewhat less. > > 8.

You'd need to delete photos manually.? There's not currently a way to do bulk deletes (other than deleting an entire album), so it can be time consuming.? Bulk delete is also on the TODO list.? (BTW, this is a user-to-user group, not an official support group of io, so we can't do anything you can't.) > > 9. Do hashtags take up some of our memory? I know that files and databases > > do. We will not be allowing attachments. See #4 above. Duane |
