Re: Multi-question Poll
#poll
Randy Thomson
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThere is no way to isolate multiple questions so that the results are shown separately. A hack would be to allow users to provide multiple choices. Ask your questions and make it clear in the answers which question each choice applies to. It¡¯s (more than) a little ugly, and my preference would be two nearly simultaneous polls. ? Randy T ? Trying to set up my first poll and it seems that a poll can only have one question. ?Is that really true? ?If not, can someone point me to info on how to create a multi-question poll? _._,_._,_ |
Multi-question Poll

Trying to set up my first poll and it seems that a poll can only have one question. ?Is that really true? ?If not, can someone point me to info on how to create a multi-question poll?

Account merge :-(
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI created 2 groups using my gmail account in groups.io
I joined 1 of them with my live.com address.
I thought I'd consolidate the 2 accounts as I wanted to use the Live account in other groups. So I did a 'merge accounts' Reading thru the info provided, I thought that all my settings would be transferred. But they? didn't & those 2 groups I created are
currently without an owner. I'm trying to tell the other mod how to change my settings.
Any help is appreciated

Re: Is there a way to force "via groups.io"?
#issue
As?Shal suggested, I have moved this to the beta group and Mark is already involved in the conversation. I consider a "bug" as being something that is not working as designed so I did not consider this a bug. Rather I consider it a feature accommodation for servers which do extended SPF validation and extended internal domain blocking without DMARC. I was unaware that the groups.io folks (I did not know who Mark was until he responded in the beta group).do not monitor this group and question why I was automatically added to it as a group owner if it is not.

The transfer instructions are quite clear that message attachments are not migrated. Also, they were in no sense "lost"...they were still right there, in your Yahoo group. You could have gone there and rescued them...or continued to use Yahoo, if it was that important. Is there anything to be cautious of in attachments now?Be aware that they take up part of your [1 GB?] storage allocation and -- depending on your settings -- old ones may get deleted when you exceed that allocation.

Re: HELP Please!!! [transferring a Yahoo Group]
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI came up upon the same boondoggle. From within your Yahoo group send an invitation to [email protected] to join your Yahoo group.Once he joins your Yahoo group you will need to give make him a moderator. I¡¯m still awaiting for this to happen in my Yahoo group. Sent from Bob Lyon's iPhone On May 14, 2018, at 7:09 AM, Bruce Bowman <bruce.bowman@...> wrote:

Re: Chat Issues
I'd report it to support, /static/help#questions-and-bug-reports. You should include as much information as you can, including approximate time of day, group name. etc. That will make it easier for Mark to troubleshoot.

Re: Members receiving post at different times
Just something you might think about using, if it is an issue with members' settings. Special notices: If a hashtag is set to Special, all messages tagged with it, including the original message in the topic and all replies, will be sent as Special Notices. Note: hashtags set to Special cannot be muted. Also, only moderators and owners can send Special Notices. If a normal subscriber replies, their message will be sent as a normal message. |
Re: db column types and sorting
If you make all numbers the same length and pad them with prefix zeroes where needed, they sort correctly. You might suggest the numeric type addition on the beta group.

Re: Members receiving post at different times
If any of the members have a setting other than Individual Messages for delivery, that would change their delivery time. Otherwise, their email service should have received it the same time yours did. I'd ask them to check the headers to see if they can find where the delay occurred.

Re: Copy group
No, each group is totally separate. Since there are so many settings in various places, I can see how you might overlook something. If I were going to try, I'd probably open each group in a separate tab in my browser and try to go page by page to make them match.

Members receiving post at different times
Our group has daily discussions led by a panelist. The panelist for today posted his topic this morning about 2:45 [Mountain]. Some of our members say that they didn't get it until this afternoon. I received it when it was sent. Does anyone have an idea what might cause this to happen? Thank you, |
