¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

tx / yeah..... so i guessed that this-here would do it; comments / corrections welcome.? does "Not Enabled", below, mean that once approved new members can post without approval / moderation?? this is the protocol i'd like to achieve: once a member is approved, he/she can post away without further intervention from admins.

In Admin, go to Settings.
i.e.
/g/YOURGROUP/settings

Re: Unable to

 

Are you trying from the footer in an email, by email to the address or from the sidebar in your group?
If it is by email, are you using your correct email address? The one that is known to Groups.io.
If you wish to, you can add an email alias - top right corner of your group page. That will allow you to email from more than one address. You only receive to your registered address though.

BTW, I just tested and I can start a new topic both through email and through the webpage.

Re: Two Groups Into One

Pam
 

So then - another question.
?
When the neo stuff started, I moved to another branch of Yahoo - yahoogroups.au. At that point, it was still the classic version and stayed that way for a couple of weeks (if I'd realized it would have been so soon I probably wouldn't have done it. Live and learn, right? lol)
?
Now I'm trying to transfer that group and another with the .au after the address and it keeps telling me it's not a valid address. Any clue how I can move these two groups? I can't seem to edit that "@" part of the email address.
?
Thanks again!
?
Pam? :)

Using BCC to Moderators

Yvette Money
 

Good morning all.? My group has noticed that our BCC to Moderators doesn't seem to work.? Is there something in the moderator's subscription page that we need to click on to activate it?? I am an owner for the group and have my setting under Owner email set to "All emails".? Some of the others have theirs set to "Subscribers only".??
There have been times when we have used the BCC to Moderators feature when dealing with a new member so that all of us know what has been done or said regarding that member but not one of us has ever received the messages.?
Before posting here I did a search using the keywords "BCC to Moderators" but did not find anything that addressed this particular issue.? If it has been dealt with before I apologize and request you point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Re: Images - Copyright and other related issues?

 

Jim,

As in I can require all images (photos and files) to be moderated -
Note, I'm not talking about images uploaded to the Photos section, or Files uploaded to the Files section. Those are different from images embedded in or attached to messages.

You have the option to bounce, strip or moderate messages with Attachments. That includes attached files and images.

But embedded images may be contained in the HTML message body (data type), hosted remotely (http type) or attached to the message (cid type). I think only the latter would be affected by the Attachments control. See also this message on a related subject:
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/4622

and can't I prevent images from being embedded in posts.
You can force messages to be plain text only. That's a bit more extreme than blocking or stripping just the embedded images.

Re: Mail Delivery Issue w/ Comcast/Outlook

 

Yes, he says it's not in the Junk E-mail folder. I'm glad to hear Comcast/Outlook is working for you. I will pass that along to him.

Re: Deleting out dated posts

 

I appreciate your guidance on deleting out of date posts mainly about time expired events? - gathering announcements, sales,out of date catalogues etc so will review my options.

Tony; it's not difficult but I would put money on it not being long before you start thinking "this is tedious" followed some time later by "I wish I hadn't started this".

As a Moderator you will have a drop - down arrow on each topic, and one of the available options is Delete Topic.You will have to plough your way through your message archive finding and deleting each one individually; there is no "Mark for Deletion" followed by "Delete Marked Topics" that I am aware of; I did once look because I was trying basically the same exercise as you are now contemplating.

Please bear in mind that if (for example) you found and deleted an expired topic somewhere and deleted it, the space it occupied will be filled up from the next page, and what fills that space might be another expired topic that you want to delete. Also, (IIRC) deleting any given topic doesn't leave you still looking at the page from which you deleted it; I have a vague recollection of the display reverting to the start of the entire message archive, which makes the process even more time - consuming.

For future use you might want to consider the use of Hashtags for Sales or Wanted. This has the advantage that such marked topics can be made to auto - delete after a set period of time; a month would seem suitable. If anyone forgets to insert a hashtag you (as? moderator) can edit the Subject Line to add one; more work for you, yes, but less time consuming than trying to find the topic a month later so that you can delete it!

I have to be honest at this point and admit that as yet we have not set this up on the group I moderate; we just have very limited "management" hashtags set up at present. In my purely personal opinion hashtags can look extremely messy if used to excess, and that is what I wish to avoid. In addition, knowing the high probability of a topic drifting in use (quite legitimately as often as not) any given post could bear no relation whatsoever to the hashtag at the top.

I suppose this must be some sort of inverse to Godwin's Law; the longer a given thread runs the greater is the likelihood of a post bearing no relation to the subject that started it.

Chris.

100 rules?! I once had a few score when I had turned off my ISP's
worthless spam filter and tried to do spam filtering by hand. That was
ages ago and I learned my lesson: bought a third-party Bayesian spam
filter add-in to my email client and that was far more effective.

I don't know about Comcast, but these days even relatively feeble ISP
spam filters tend to be more effective and a heck of a lot easier to
manage than a huge pile of rules. But hey, everyone needs a hobby.

So if that's what he's doing then yeah, I think you're on the right
track. But I would think, in that case, that he'd have already thought
to do a search across his local folders to find where the Groups.io
messages might be ending up, as a first step to figuring out which rule
is at fault. And having found them he would know that the issue was on
his end.

People who use POP often configure their client to delete messages from
the server after downloading them. If he's doing that and the Groups.io
messages are "left behind" when the others get downloaded and deleted
then that's something weirder.

Another possibility is that he has a program like Mailwasher standing as
a proxy between Outlook and Comcast. It is a spam filter that is capable
of allowing Outlook to download only selected (non-spam) messages.
Something like Mailwasher might have come with a security suite that
he's using. But again, if he's using something like that he should have
known himself to check it.

There's no way for you to remove that.? It's the standard footer that's included in each email by groups.io.? The only thing you can change is to add to it using the Message Footer box on your Settings page.

He can send email from Outlook to his group at groups.io. That works. I suggested he create a new folder and rule to filter those emails into his new folder and see if that solves his problem. Apparently he has about 100 rules in Outlook. Perhaps one of them is somehow contributing.

Re: Mail Delivery Issue w/ Comcast/Outlook

 

They are inside his Inbox in his Comcast account. They aren't in a spam, etc. folder. They just don't transfer to Outlook for some
odd reason. He is using POP3 in Outlook to transfer his mail. I suggested he reset his Comcast email password. Computers do strange
things. It will likely be a strange action that solves it.

I suggested it could be some filter in Outlook that denies email address other than .com, .edu, etc.

Thank you for replying. I'll let you know if he resolves the strange issue.

Maybe they are getting to Outlook, but Outlook is hiding those messages,
or sequestering them in a local Spam/Junk folder.

Another possibility would be a filter in Outlook, but it would seem to
be an unlucky coincidence that a filter set up for some prior purpose
happened to match groups.io messages.

If they appear in his Comcast Inbox, I can't think of a way (using
either POP or IMAP) that they wouldn't be seen by Outlook.
