I was under the impression that members need to select their profile/display name not owners for them... What am I missing?

We recently transferred a dozen or so yahoo groups to one main .io group, and then also to a dozen sub-groups corresponding to the original 

yahoo groups. I've been spending some times applying names to all the members- through the members tab under admin on the main group.

I was surprised to find that the names I applied did not carryover to the subscriber when you view the members list in any sub-group that they are a part of.

That seems strange to me but maybe it is intentional, or maybe it is a bug. Assuming it is intentional, do any of the rest of you who use subgroups have

any reason why you would not want subscribers names applied to an e-mail address in the main group to also carry over to any subgroups of which that

subscriber is a part ?

Mark,

I noticed this, from a site change log a few weeks ago:

• CHANGE: For posterid searches, remove Relevance/Collapse Threads options"

I'm having trouble this morning with posterid searches and wonder if that change has anything to do with it. Search is now returning many posts not by the posterid, and I don't recall this ever happening before. It is also returning threads that (presumably) also contain posts by the posterid (but also, some single messages that simply are not by the posterid). 

Furthermore, if I do a search using posterid:J_catlady in my group, I get back a much larger number of results than when I do a search on "all posts by this member" (which uses the posterid # as opposed to handle). The latter ("all posts by this member") is the correct number, and only messages by me are returned.

I'm bringing this up here rather than as a bug report to support because I think there may be a problem with the intended implementation. I don't think a search on posterid should return threads at all - just messages. (Others may disagree.) But either way, something seems not right here.

Thanks.

Most of this week was spent working on internal changes to support domains (aka the Enterprise version). Changes to live site this week:

• BUGFIX: Edit link on mobile in pending message screen didn't work.
• BUGFIX: Only process an invite if it's in the sent state (ie. not in accepted state).
• BUGFIX: Digest messages were missing the standard compliment of list headers.
• CHANGE: Changed the wording of the email that is sent on spam unsubscribe (FBL) to make it more clear.
• BUGFIX: Fix rare commit/locking issue in join group flow.
• BUGFIX: Display Members link in sidebar outside of the Admin dropdown for non owners/mods when appropriate.
• NEW: In single message view, if you are not logged in or are not a member of the join, display a small blurb at the bottom of the page with a join link.
• NEW: Check for some invalid file types when uploading a file of email addresses for invites/direct adds.

Have a good weekend, everybody!

Is IO ready for transferring a new list. We have 3,000 members and a few
hundred messages a month.

I like that messages are sorted Newest to Oldest by default. How can I
set Photo Albums, and Databases entries to the same--Newest to Oldest?

But I have just turned on FBL processing again for the yahoo.com,
att.net and sbcglobal.net domains (in addition to the already resumed
aol.com).

We transferred about 2800 valid members and over 150,000 messages perfectly using easy transfer.

Hi Sharon,

As a satisfied beta user who transferred my group from Yahoo in January, I can say that I think your transfer process will go flawlessly. And in the odd event that any flaw does happen to occur, you can be assured that Mark will take care of it immediately.

My group is much smaller than yours but still has 400-600 messages a month), and some very large groups here (larger than yours) have transferred without a hitch. Go for it.

Good luck!

We are new to Groups.io. I like that messages are sorted Newest to Oldest by default.  How can I set Photo Albums, and Databases entries to the same--Newest to Oldest?

Shal, It doesn't sound very robust yet. I wouldn't recommend this to
my group members in its current state.

But in my test group just now I succeeded by Clicking Reply then typing
the three keys +1[Enter] at the very top of the message body. I left
the quoted material that followed intact.
