Mark, Or maybe not. I'm probably a poor judge of what a new or casual user considers easy or hard. That was two of the first bits of advice I learned when I joined a moderator help group: 1) have a

Changes to the site today: - Fixed an issue when removing multiple Re:/Fwd: parts in a subject line - Fixed subdomain issues when posting via web to groups in an organization - Changed MembersVisible

Hi Mark, Marlin's suggestion is perfect! When we're ready to go, I have two groups for you to join and you'll be promoted to owner just as soon as I notify the membership to expect the transfer. All

Mark, a question.... Why bother with a test account? Why not simply join the group yourself, and then have the owner of the group find your membership on the membership

Mark, I own sever Yahoo Groups and have full moderator control to at least 5 others. We just have the main account. With one of them having more than 17,000 members, that more than enough work. LOL

Well, maybe I'm wrong. Do you think most moderators have a throwaway test account already signed up to their group? And that they wouldn't mind giving access to that account to someone else? So, in

Mark, I love your ‘nerd explanations’. It always makes sense to me, especially since I’m not a techy. Thank you. Judy F. SW Florida - USA

Mark, I'm curious what makes that a high bar? I was thinking that for most people using or creating a least-privileged mod account would be a lower bar than figuring out how to export the email

Changes to the site over the past couple of days: - Fixed digests when a message has been deleted before the digest was sent out, which could lead to empty digests - Pluses in file/directory names

Summarizing the feedback so far from my proposal on group transfers. The original proposal: - Create the new group at Groups.io - Change the description of your existing group to include a link to the

fyi, I've fixed the encoding bug that Marlin's post triggered. <nerd explanation>It actually had nothing to do with encoding or decoding the email itself. Instead it was an issue with how we were

Mark, The reason I'm concerned about conversions is that they are a source of error. A member of my GMF group on Yahoo ceased to be able to use Google groups because her group used a non-ISO

Hi Frances, Good catch. There were a couple bugs involved there, and they've been fixed. Please let me know if you see any other problems. Thanks, Mark

We do pay attention to character set encodings, along with content-transfer-encodings, and we do preserve the encodings. All Groups.io web pages are UTF-8, so when displaying archives, we convert

Shal, it is just a little bit more complicated than I suspected. I have a test group on groups.io, just like you do. After extensive testing today, I have found that if I send a new message,

Marlin, It is fairly common for rich-text systems, such as HTML, to turn successive spaces into non-breaking spaces. Such systems typically collapse multiple spaces into a single space, but the

I noticed that as well. I was able to spend some time looking at it, but I don't think I'll be able to fix that bug until tomorrow. Lots of great discussion about group transfers, and I really

Hi Ellen, You can change the title of any wiki page as well as delete any wiki page. You can always delete everything and you'll be back exactly at the beginning at any time. Hope this helps. Mark

Thanks for the explanation, Shal. I have seen other discussions about this sort of thing, but, it had never happened to me that I know of. It went from bad to worse, real quick, when I replied to

People, I don't think proving you have a an existing groups is enough. We need to have some way of "punishing" people who abuse the "add members" feature. The easiest one I can think of right away
