I Am The Moderator Of My Group And My Calendar Will Not Let Me Update The Time Zone

Yahoo Group Calendar keeps sending reminders with wrong time!?

Hi,

This occurs most often because someone's group time zone and personal time zone are not set the same (Specifically, I see this occurring in your account at this time). If you allow members and moderators to modify events, it's possible that anyone modifying the calendar events (who doesn't have their time zones set correctly) could alter the reminders and times in events unintentionally.

Please make sure anyone who modifies your group's calendar has both time zone areas on their account set to the same time. Here are articles with steps to update time zones:

Cannot delete Calendar Event reminders?

Hello kraftyhl

I have exactly the same problem. I set up several reminders on an old yahoo email account. I have been able to delete all of them except one. The answers below do not help and there is no option for this query in the help pages. If I find the answer I'll let you know and could I ask if you find the answer could you let me know. Thanks in anticipation of your help.

Permissions to edit a yahoo group calendar?

Yes, I changed the permissions to allow people to edit and it did not work. I did this exact same thing with a group I created last year and it worked...but this time, all members started emailing me saying that they could not edit the calendar.

I go into the calendar and create appointments and then want to give permission for Members to go in and schedule themselves to those appointments. The Members get an error that says "Edit' Permissions not available".

They way I have gone to give permissions: I have gone to the Management - Group Settings - Web Tools (just as you've said), I then click to "edit" and under "Calendar" I choose the button that says "Members (create/modify/delete events)"...but is still not allowing any Members to do that.

Group Emails are delayed ot not received by the members?

Update 4/6

@Nubia - LOL! I wish there were a way to get the headers of messages never received! But note I said "the longest-delayed" messages. Within the Received: fields of the message header are time stamps that may reveal where the delay occurred. This can help distinguish between an issue within Yahoo's servers or one at the members' email service. Levine's mail parser (cited below) will calculate the delays for you.

@Echo - When reports like this are widespread, and especially when they affect multiple receiving services I'd more suspect a problem within Yahoo's outbound farm than with greylisting or similar problems at the hand-off to members' email services.
-----
Yahoo Groups has over six hundred outbound mail servers, sometimes one or more of them go bad and then you get these situations where outbound messages are delayed. Because of the way messages are routed, messages bound for some members can be delayed while other members receive them promptly. This does crop up from time to time, and it usually is temporary (lasting a day or two before Yahoo finds and fixes the faulty server(s).

The best thing to report here would be the name of the group(s) affected. The best thing to report via the Get Help link would be the full headers from some of the longest-delayed messages.

Incorrect Time displayed in Group Meeting Reminders?

There is only one group's (calendar) reminder time zone setting, so if different members were using different ones then they were changing the group's setting. That problem with the new calendar (members changing a group setting) is why Echo suggests that you use the "limited" setting to the calendar access option.

That said, it is most surprising that you received two reminders with a different offset. Unless the arrival of the first reminder prompted a member living in offset -0300 to go "fix it". I think they would have had to "fix" both the event and the reminder time zone setting.

The GMT offset used for generating reminders is shown only in the group's (calendar) reminder time zone setting, found in the Options page under the Actions button. My suspicion is that it applies at the moment the reminder is sent, and is not stored in each individual event. If that's true then when you create an event there would be no way to know that the reminder time zone wouldn't be changed later.

How do I post on multiple Facebook group that I do not admin at once?

There is no way to do this anymore.I am the founder of a social media tool called OneUp that allows you to schedule and automatically repeat your posts on Facebook, Twitter, Google My Business, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Instagram for only $5 per month.I am obviously biased, but I think it is the best social media marketing tool for Facebook groups. However, you must be an admin of the group to use it.Here are some of the features:Posting to multiple pages - For people who are posting to more than one social network at a time, OneUp makes it easy to post to FB Pages and Groups, LinkedIn profiles and pages, and Twitter accounts, Pinterest, Google My Business, and Instagram (including Stories) all at once.Repeating post - OneUp gives you the option to repeat your posts automatically. This allows you to resurface old posts that otherwise would have never been seen again. Also for anyone that has a Facebook Group with daily themes that repeat every week (such as "Make it happen Monday"), OneUp makes it easy to entirely automate this.RSS feed automation - If there are any blogs, publications, podcasts, or YouTube channels that put out good content consistently, you can add the RSS feed links in OneUp, then whenever new content is posted from those places, it is automatically shared to the pages you select.Chrome Extension - Using the OneUp Chrome extension, you can easily schedule many images at once from any website, such as sunsets for example. You can choose which images from the website you want to post to social media, bulk update or individually update the descriptions and links for each post, then schedule them to be posted with a set interval (such as every 60 minutes), or choose custom dates and times for all of them.Analytics - OneUp lets you see which posts are getting the best engagement.Customizable UTM parameters - OneUp lets you customize UTM parameters so you can keep track of how your links are performing in Google Analytics.Link Shortening - Connect your Bitly account and OneUp will automatically shorten any links and allow you to track clicks through Bitly.

Yahoo Group - adding members AND sending invites?

Can I invite as well as add the same members to my Yahoo Group? I sent invitations but they haven't received it yet (sent it 1 day ago). I need to send some announcements to the Yahoo Group so I was thinking I could add them as members until we work out the issues with the invitations. Is this feasible?
