I can't resend the confirmation email... just the pending member notice. The confirmation email is under the control of groups.io, not the group owners/moderators. No way for me to resend that at all,

Re: Are other groups seeing lots of possibly spammy registration attempts?

Jeff, Neither are mine. I was just talking about the utility of email overall. No, but I do know a few who have. Their reaction is similar to yours. Ack, who would even suggest such a nightmare? When

You can use the checkboxes and just do one action ("resend confirmation email") for all of them (it still requires scrolling through). However, in my experience, re-sending rarely works. If the

I've just noted that we have a smattering of members of our group who have never confirmed their membership with groups.io. ?(They have the NC icon next to their accounts in the members list.) In

Re: Are other groups seeing lots of possibly spammy registration attempts?

So, I need to point out that, at least for our group, the things in groups.io are definitely not work related. People sign up for our group as individuals, not for work. And while there will be groups

Re: Integration Photos in Messages
LeeAnne, Your group has a setting for that: "Max Photo Size In Email". You may have had it set to "No resizing" and another moderator changed it? A weirdness is that a bugfix reported on Jan 20

Jeff, That's not at all my experience. At work the vast majority of my communication with clients, and some coworkers, is via email. The incidence of lost, misdirected or delayed email is nearly zero.

Well, again, I have gone to the same lengths that J_Catlady has, and sent a personal email - from my personal account, not via groups.io - to try and prod people to look for the message in their spam

This is what I've been saying for a long time. And not just the pending member notices - the confirmation emails, too. I think those might be even worse. I've often re-sent and re-sent them, to no

Jeff, Me too. 1) I was going to suggest looking at the Email Delivery History tab for the pending member, to see if Groups.io delivered it to his/her email service successfully or not. But in a trial
