Re: Moving an entire thread from main group to subgroup or vice versa
Thanks Gentlemen!! Definitely something worth considering. ?When main group and subgroup(s) are used in an effective hierarchy there can always be times when someone starts a topic in one that might

Re: Moving an entire thread from main group to subgroup or vice versa
Brian, No, but it has been discussed on beta@ /g/beta/message/10820 Hasn't made it to the Trello wishlist as far as I can see. Shal (Second hit in a Search for "move message
Re: Moving an entire thread from main group to subgroup or vice versa
In a word, no. As far as messages, files, etc. are concerned, a subgroup is totally separate from the main group. Duane

Moving an entire thread from main group to subgroup or vice versa
Can this be done and, if so, how?

Re: Why use hashtags in a group? #hashtags
I'd just been assuming that hashtags act like keys in a database, defined and then used to speed up search. But now that I've been looking, I can't find any reference to that, either. J

Re: Why use hashtags in a group? #hashtags
J, I don't think Wikipedia mentioned that, nor have I heard that explanation. I was amused that Wikipedia cited PDP-11 assembly language for use of # as the Immediate specifier on instruction

Re: Why use hashtags in a group? #hashtags
J, Plenty of examples in beta@, or this thread in GMF. Rectangles with slightly rounded corners. The text is white on tag-color background. That's what I'm seeing too. Moving one word out to the end

Re: Why use hashtags in a group? #hashtags
Shal, didn't the use come about via hash functions, used to speed searches in a DBMS? It's been a long time (and I, too, am no spring chicken), but I remember hash functions and just assumed that when

Re: Why use hashtags in a group? #hashtags
Shal, I don't remember about the button shape. I just remember that awhile back, I was trying to use the pound sign in a message title, and the title got totally mangled. I remember at first reporting

Re: Why use hashtags in a group? #hashtags
Jim, This use for the number sign is a creature of social media. Wikipedia cites Twitter as the place where this usage first flourished. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashtag In Groups.io hashtags

Re: Why use hashtags in a group? #hashtags
J, Oh, right. As seen in Full Featured Digests and the Messages section the hashtag will be pulled out to the end and made into a button shape. I forgot about that. In individual email it just

Just wanted to say that as this hashtag thread rambles on I am learning a lot. I'm 72...hashtags have not been a part of my life...and yet I see them around. I guess that they are here to

Re: Why use hashtags in a group? #hashtags
I don't think that works. Groups.io will still create a hashtag out of any pound sign and in doing so, I believe will mangle the thread title. J

Re: Why use hashtags in a group? #hashtags
Dano, I think you may be right, asking those members to add well-chosen hashtags to their message Subjects would likely slow down their participation. I know when posting in my PTA group it takes me

Re: Why use hashtags in a group? #hashtags
Dano, That is a concern of mine as well. Our friend the octothorp has many other names and uses. Which is one reason to take a laissaiz faire approach to the hashtags - if you're not planning to use

Yes, what you have written is more accurate. I have selected "Only Moderators Can Create Hashtags". The setting means that posts can be tagged only with existing hashtags, but there have not been any
