Choosing topic subjects rant

 

<rant>
I¡¯m in the midst of moving from a house my family has lived in for 3 generations. It has put me in a horrible mood that I am trying to direct to a good purpose by nagging about something for the good of the forum.


Please put thought into topic titles. This morning's digest has a couple of topic labels that reveal nothing about the topic. Some of us, including this old crab, only follow topics that apply to our groups. When you label a topic with something "odd questions."? That means crabby people get even crabbier because they have to look at topics that may not interest them.

Good topic labels are clearly not a big deal, but one of those tiny things that make life more pleasant. I admit that I sometimes am guilty of not thinking enough about topic subjects, and for that I apologize.

That being said, the helpfulness and level of discussion in this forum is exceptionally good and the content is great, which makes informative topic labels even more important.

Best, Marv


Member Can't Create #folders

 

Testing out my new group. I have a member who tried to create a new file folder. When he hovered above the "Create Folder" button he told me a STOP circle appeared over the "Create Folder" button. Is there some permissions I don't have set properly?

Thanks, I got that wrong, did not see a way... (Not needed now.)
Another problem MIGHT be "old stuff" in the archives.
Indexing is really slick here...

You can rename a group any time you want. It's not advisable to do so because it confuses people and their email client. It's when you delete a group that you can't reuse the name unless you can get it freed up by contacting support.

Thanks.
As I am just in the process of transferring my Yahoo group to a virgin website, I will wait to see if the situation comes up in the new group.?

I hope this is not a bug.

archive privacy

 

I've begun creating a group so I can move a group I own from Yahoo. I'm unclear on the archive privacy options, and searches haven't clarified the choices.

What I want is what I have on Yahoo: a publicly listed group with members having access to all files for the group, but people who are not group members cannot view the files (photos, text files, old messages, etc).

Is this considered "private" or "public"? I would have thought it would be private, but the wording is ambiguous - a publicly listed group with public archives might mean either that non-members can see the archives or that archives are available only to members.

Thanks for help with this newbie question!

Holly

#transfer #subgroups #transfer #subgroups

 

Can a group be transferred to a subgroup of an existing group both within Groups.io? I know you can go from Yahoo to io subgroups, but what about io main to io subgroup?

Basically, yes.

in the UK and we're a members' group (choir) and charity, not a private individual.
If the list is "owned" by the charity, or is an official organ of the
charity, then full compliance is required. If the list is owned by an
individual, then some aspects might be dropped. This is what the court
cases will be about.

I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.

I've just gone through the same situation with a user not receiving emails. After verifying that the emails weren't in spam or junk folders and that there was no bouncing going on, I changed the user's email delivery to "No Email", saved that and then put it back to what it was and saved that and now the emails are now flowing.

You could give that a try.

Quesitons re: notices and other things

 

Once I give the go ahead to transfer my group, what notices will be sent to my group and when?? Do I prepare these notices or are they standard notices Mark sends out? Can they be edited?

Can the invite notice be edited for all invite notices?? I tried to edit it and wasn't able to but I was able to add more information in the box below.? The invite is signed "Cheers,The Groups.io Team".? Can I change that to Thanks for your support, Linda Perry to personalize it.
??
On my home page, instead of my member scrolling down to the join this group button, can I just do a link further up to say click on here to join now.

If I have a member on moderation and I reject their posting and give them the reason why, is that message or my reply saved anywhere on the group or do I need to send the e-mail from my e-mail account to keep a record of it?

Re: How to delete a sub group

 

Make sure you're in the subgroup.? Use the Settings page, scroll all the way to the bottom, and select Delete Group on the right.? You'll need to confirm it, of course.? You can verify that you're in the subgroup settings page by looking at the Group Email Address near the top of the page, along with the breadcrumb in the top title bar.

rss tag (integration)

 
Edited

Are there any known issues using rss links in the integration feature?? Just added one (that should be generating lots of hits, I did it on purpose), but not seeing any messages from it.


Re: Photo Albums Owner did not create

 

Click on the album you want to edit, then click on one of the pictures in the album. Under the picture is an Edit button to click on, and at the bottom of the Edit page is the Delete button.

Lyn,

I have established two limitations concerning fotos. One is the restriction to 140x140 which you can manage in the settings. This makes fotos come out with very little kb. The other is that I only allow up to three fotos per member. One of my moderators checks the foto section regularly.

Re: Sidebar - This is also an element that can be added to the group wiki, which puts a sidebar of content on the right side of the wiki pages.


Re: Photo Albums Owner did not create

 

To delete an entire album:
Open the album, select Delete Album at the top, and confirm.

To delete single photos:
Open the photo, select Edit below it, scroll down to Delete, and confirm.

THANKS for? your help
