Brent, It will be useful if you can document exactly what is not working. In other words, the steps you are taking and the results / error messages. In case no one on the GMF forum has direct experience with Slack integration,?this information will also be required to submit the issue to groups.io technical support (email: support AT groups DOT io) ? -- Gerald |

Re: Wiki
Shal,
I will try that, thanks! ive figures out how to make the ¡°table of my topics page¡± but when making a true ToC, what is the first line of garbage that appears in brackets (understand it¡¯s part of the coding for sub heading levels) but WHY???? and can I make it vaporize? ?(Other than white on white text) ? |

Re: Wiki
Yep Ken, this is another case of innocuous inline styles being stripped by the wiki editor upon save. Been there, done that, have already complained about it in beta.
Meanwhile, I've found that I've had more success using deprecated constructs such as img align="center". I believe this still works in all browsers but that could [of course] change someday. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

The last mention I can find of any problems with Slack was late February last year, .? It was working in late January of this year, /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/9586833.

Members show up as both members and invitees (unaccepted)
Some of the invitees who have joined (possibly not through the invitation process but separately via web or subscription email) are still showing up as "invited" instead of "accepted".? Where can I suggest that when the IT people get some time there could be a process to check if when someone subscribes that their email address is matched to an invited email address so that this information is updated. |

At this time, it appears as though the advertised feature to sync between a Slack group membership list a groups.io membership list is not implemented or supported.? If this is wrong, please reply. ? For the UNB Amateur Radio Club, I have groups named unbamateurradioclub in both systems.? I expect that these lists will evolve differently and have different uses as groups.io posts are archived indefinitely and for unpaid Slack groups only the most recent ten thousand messages maybe searched. |

Re: Wiki
Ken,
I wanted them centered but to no avail ¡ª whatever I tried they revertI had that problem trying to manipulate the code, but I found that the centering button in the WYSIWYG editor works, but seems to require that you include at least a blank paragraph above the image in the selection when you center it. In the code that seems to make the image part of that paragraph. That's probably a bug, or a little nest of them. Also, you don't necessarily need the revision date on the bottom line, the wiki page has it automatically at the top right.

Re: Wiki
I tried copy/paste a page from a Mediawiki page:
Notice the top of the page links to the actual pdf that the member composed. More on that later. ?? The result wasn¡¯t great. I had to do a bit of reformatting and had to handle the photos individually (upload, place, size, etc). I wanted them centered but to no avail ¡ª whatever I tried they revert bank to slammed left margin. Not fatal, but not great.? /g/catalina30/wiki/Repairing-an-AquaLift-muffler-%28with-pictures%29 Note That I also link to the pdf. Mediawiki handles media content (pics, pdf, whatever) SO MUCH better than IO. I had to load the pdf into the IO FILES section and link to it. Not ideal (I created a folder something like ¡±wiki content¡± to hold wiki files. I could have linked to the original pdf location, but you know how that goes with future dead links, etc.? My suggestion is, if you want a serious wiki site with bells and all that, find a place to host MediaWiki and create a permalink to it on an anchored IO wiki page. ?BUT Mediawiki is not WYSIWYG like IO (you¡¯ll need to get used to using wiki markup language). ? So there¡¯s always loads of trade offs! |

Re: Closing the Yahoo group
Thanks for taking the time to respond,?Vijay. I think it was just a blip that members posted to Yahoo. Maybe returning from holiday. I think the moderating idea will prevent/alert members from posting there much longer.

Re: a list member having trouble unsubscribing
Good suggestion. Thanks. Of course, it takes the same amount of my time for me to unsubscribe them as it does to send them an email referring them to the unsubscribe address. Oh, well.

a list member having trouble unsubscribing
I got a note from a member of one of my lists today. She says she was trying to unsubscribe, but that the unsubscribe website makes it impossible because it demands agreement to the cookies before pushing the unsubscribe ¡°leave group¡± option. I'm not quite sure what this means. I'm assuming she is referring to the unsubscribe link that comes with every message. However, I've never tried to unsubscribe so I don't really know what happens when you do that. In any case I would probably have my browser already accepting cookies from the Groups.io web site so I wouldn't see any message about them.
Has anyone else run into something like this? I went ahead a removed her from the list, but I figured I would ask in case this comes up again sometime. Jonathan |

Re: Wiki
Tom,
Can the same thing be done with a PDF?While I'm certain you can copy the text of a PDF from Adobe Reader or your web browser or whatever application you use, and paste it into the edit for a group wiki page, I'm far less confident about the formatting and any embedded images. Also, PDF pages are like cut sheets of paper - each having a specific size for printing. Whereas wiki pages, like HTML pages, are more like scrolls of arbitrary length. Things like having running text in multiple columns is possible in Word and PDF, but basically foreign to wiki and web pages. So I'd say that while you can get the text there, by hook or by crook, you might be faced with a lot of reformatting work depending on the formatting features used in the PDF file.
