Re: Owner dead, only moderators left #groupowner

 

Backup your membership list, files, and databases to your computer, for a start. Your photos as well, if you have room. To move to groups. io you need to make it a moderator, and I think that takes an owner. I believe you can upload from your computer, however.

Over ten years ago, the owner of our group died unexpectedly. ?He left no information about accessing his account. ?I am one of two moderators who serve as owners but don¡¯t have the title. ?We would like to transfer our group to GroupsIO but doubt we have the authority. ?Any suggestions before we begin this new journey?

The same for me. I sent an invite from my Yahoo group because I kept receiving an error message, but the activity log does not show any invite and there is no pending subscription (in my Yahoo group membership requires approval).

More fool me :-(

Thanks, Debbie.

Re: Integration ?

 

Mine is a page I'm trying to integrate that tells me: The name does not appear to be part of a Facebook page.???Any thoughts?? Tammi
not accepting facebook integration #integration

 

When I put our facebook page url in the url field, it says:? That name does not appear to be the name of a Facebook page.? Our page is?

Any thoughts?? Thanks so much, Tammi
Re: Attachments

 

Sharon,

How do you?set your Groups.io group to no attachments?? I don't see that option under settings, and it looks like the default (only?) option is to allow attachments.,

I'm just beginning the transition of a 750-member group from Yahoo Groups to Groups.io and am trying to understand attachment options.? Our group has many yachts at? sea or in locations where bandwidth is severely limited, so a no-attachment policy (as we have on YG) is what we need.

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks,

Milt

Re: Managing bouncers #membership

 

To save a bit of time you can go to the "Members" pull down menu at the top of the Members list page and select "Bouncing". This will display all of the Bouncing or Bounced members in your group so you don't have to scroll through the entire list.

There are no groups.io administrators in this group as far as I know, only other site users.? You should mention this on beta@ so the administrator(s) will see it.

Oh, re-reading, are you saying YOU are at the other end of the invite, and it is NOT getting through? I see. Not sure what's going on, in that case.?

I did a little testing this morning to see if I could find a solution.? If you use the link to your group on the overview page, /, it will always take you to the Topics view since it's a hard-coded link.? If you go to the group home page instead, then click on Messages on the left menu, it will remember which one you had selected.? In this case, having a bookmark to the home page (or the view page while Messages is selected) would get around the problem.? Unfortunately, once you've been to the Topics view, it remembers that as your last choice, so will return to it.

Re: #calendar #hashtag #calendar #hashtags

 

There's not currently a list of hashtags on the Event entry page.? You can add a hashtag in the Event Name, but would need to know which ones are available, unless you have your group set to allow everyone to create them (Only Moderators Can Create Hashtags is NOT selected on the settings page.)? A quick search of the TODO list, , doesn't show anything similar.? You could suggest having the dropdown available as an addition on beta@.

Re: All Posts Need Approval #issue

J_Catlady
 

ALL new users are moderated in your group, including you. Go into your settings and check the number (1, 2, 3, or 4) in the "new users moderated" setting. That is the number of posts from each member that need to be approved before they are unmoderated.?

Re: All Posts Need Approval #issue

 

You could try looking in the Activity log for entries of 'Edited group'.? It won't tell you what was changed, but will give you a date and time that might jog your memory.

Re: All Posts Need Approval #issue

 

Hello Norman,

?

The first thing I would check is to go to Admin, members, then click on the member row for yourself.? Check to see if somehow close to the bottom of the page you are set as OVERRIDE:? Moderated.? If so, then you have to check for not moderated and save.

?

I do not know how that would happen if you are the group owner.

?

IF that is not the case, maybe someone else here can make a suggestion as to what to check.

?

When you initially go to the members listing, if you click on E-mail, it will list all alphabetically which will make it easier to find yourself.

?

Doug

Norm, in the members¡¯ list, is there a little blue n beside the names? I believe that mean that these members have not sent an email yet - in .

If your name has an n too - send a greeting to the group yourself. Once one message has been sent from an email address, the ¡°new users moderated¡± rule will be fulfilled for that email address.

Sometimes these things happen. Sometimes, if you change it to a different setting, save it, then change it back again and save it, it'll stick. I don't know if this has ever happened in , but you could try it.

Maybe someone else knows of a different setting that needs to be working together with these settings?
