Yes, in a somewhat round-about way. You can share the calendar with your groupname@googlegroups.com email address and give it permissions to manage the content. A discussion will be posted to the group's Discussion page (triggering any email notifications) with a link to the calendar. Anyone in the group that clicks the link to the calendar will be asked ...

As far as I can understand what your problems are...
You want to know how long attachments are kept in a Google Group?
As long as Google doesn't warn you that the file will be deleted, I think they will last as long as the message they are attached to. Just like in Gmail, attachments will not get lost as long as you don't delete the message they were ...

Yahoo! Groups offers much of what Google Groups does. In their favor I like that the calendar is integrated better and you can have (nested!) folders.
I moved away from Yahoo! Groups because I found the ads intrusive. (I do miss good file management, though.)

While it's not possible to achieve that through Google Groups web interface, because it is by design, you can do it if use your Gmail to keep up with the group. You can setup your group to receive e-mail on every post and the by replying to that mail and changing the subject, will force the group to create a new post. So in both places you can see your ...

Google groups does not support multiple sign in. Because of this, it should use whatever account you logged into first in your current browser session. (The one marked as default in the account dropdown in gmail)
If this is not the behavior you are seeing, that would seem to be a bug, since it goes against the information on their official help topic.

You can access all your previous posts by viewing a post you have posted to previously.
Locate your previous post (any of them - search groups for your name/handle/user-name)
Next to your post, you will see "Post Reply" and a drop down arrow, click the drop down arrow and select "Show Activity"
And there you go, now bookmark it :)

Now, the reply you posted is under review due to the particular Google Group's Settings. Now, you cannot know when it gets accepted (in the same way as we - users with less reputation try to edit a post in SE and get the "until it is peer-reviewed" message. When the edit is accepted, we do not receive any email-notifications nor any inbox message in SE. All ...

You can report to Google by clicking on the "settings" icon on the top right and from the drop down menu selecting the option "Report an issue about Google Groups". I have the same problem and already did that. Hopefully the more people doing the same the more chances we will have to be able to get a reply.

You can find a lot of the relevant info in the Google Groups FAQ.
For example, the maximum group size is dependent on the type of Google Group you have:
With Google Apps, a group can contain up to 100 members. With Google Apps for Business and Education, there's no limit to the number of members a group can have. However, if the group contains external ...

Example of an rss feed:
https://groups.google.com/group/samskrithanews/feed/rss_v2_0_msgs.xml?num=50
Replace "samskrithanews" with the name of your group to get the corresponding feed.

The Google Groups directory is a separate thing from the regular Google Search.
The directory is simply the listing of groups available from the Groups home page (see bullet point #9 here).
As for why your group isn't showing in Google search, it's probably just a matter of being patient:
Crawling and indexing are processes which can take some time and ...

It appears that they've tweaked the interface again and this should now be possible.
Go to the "Manage" section
Under "Members" (left-side menu) should be an option for "Outstanding invites". Click that.
Now you should have a list of people who have been sent an invitation but who have not joined. Check the box next to all of the people you want to ...

I suggest using a free admin management tool like FlashPanel, available from the Google Apps Marketplace.
Once setup, open the app and go to users then select the user you want to remove from groups.
Select Groups and then click each red X in the Actions column of the list of groups you want to remove them from.
This is not a "one button, all-groups" ...

There does not seem to be a way to disable those emails, as long as you have the moderator permission.
What you could do, is ask the group administrator to create a new role which has all your current permissions, minus Approve messages. That way, you should be able to do most of the things you can do now on the group, but you will not be able to moderate ...

I have the same problem. I did report "Unable to load pending messages for moderation" to Google Report an issue about Google Groups. No response is heard. For the time being, I go to Manage → Settings → Moderation and uncheck the Moderate all messages to the Group and leave Moderate messages from new members of the group. This way, I get new incoming ...

It seems groups cannot be created to respond to several domains at once - you have to choose which domain a group belongs to:

The key phrase here is:
... choose the desired domain name from the dropdown ...
That would be the reason your group does not receive email ...

If you have any pending members, the message (with link) will appear when you enter your group:
There is one pending member to review
When you click this link, you will be redirected to site like this: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups&hl=en#!pendingmember/<my-group-name>/apply.
Alternatively, you can use this link: ...

Hundreds.
Two of the biggest:
Yahoo! Groups
Google Groups
But there are many, many more out there. A web search for "mailing list host" should provide other options.

Google says your options are:
Send your mail through their SMTP servers (i.e. don't use Gmail's web interface)
Get the admin of your mailing list to set up authentication (I have yet to find a description of what this actually entails.

There is absolutely no way you can do that in Google Groups.
It is not possible even in Yahoo! Groups.
HTML and pdf files have to be sent as attachment even in GMail and all the e-mail services.
At the best, what you can do is upload the pdf or html file to Google Docs/Google Drive or some similar service and share a link to it in the message.

You could try out HTTrack
Full description from their website:
HTTrack is a free (GPL,
libre/free software) and easy-to-use
offline browser utility.
It allows you to download a World Wide
Web site from the Internet to a local
directory, building recursively all
directories, getting HTML, images, and
other files from the server to your

I strongly recommend Nabble. Its one of the best email groups I have ever seen. Major open source projects host their mailing lists on Nabble - e.g., R, OSGeo, PostgreSQL etc. It's Free, Simple and Embeddable. Also it provides web-interface to post questions to mailing lists provided you register on Nabble and subscribe to the mailing list. One can have ...

According to this article, Google are switching this feature off during Feb 2011 so maybe you have to wait until they do this.
Alternatively, I don't know if you have done this or are able to do this, but you could switch your Group to the new style which is discussed in detail in this article.

They say:
Group gmane.comp.lang.scala.user
Description A more relaxed list for questions and discussions ()
Address scala-user@googlegroups.com

Instead of Thunderbird, try Pan.
You can still use Thunderbird if you like. What ...

I found that the only way to "fix" this is from the groups settings, apparently it's a feature.
Selecting the last option fixed my problem. You have to be an admin in the group to do it though, but you can always ask the admin to do it for you if you're not.

You can post a message to a closed thread thus:
log in with a subscribed account
click the 'forward' button on the post in the conversation that you want to reply to
put the group email address as the recipient
change 'FW: ' to 'RE: ' at the start of the subject line
write your reply and send

As you've noted, there are three categories that divide these up resulting in 8 different feeds:
15 vs 50 - This just tells you how many items appear in the RSS feed. Depending on how busy the group is and how often your RSS reader checks it, collecting only 15 messages could mean missing out on some if 20 had been posted. On the other hand, if the group ...

http://groups.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47792 says only:
Check the box next to "Messages from new members are moderated," and you'll be able to review messages from the members who've recently joined your group before they're posted.
No indication of what "recently joined" means.

It isn't possible to do this whilst browsing Google Groups via the web.
It is possible to do this if you subscribe to the groups via Google Reader.
