Re: Viewing Group message format settings
David,
Yes I know, but as you say, it doesn¡¯t include them all, especiallyDelivery type? That's something each subscriber sets for him/herself. That you can see on your Subscription page. In the left column, just below the link for the group's home page. Shal |

Re: FW: One member having mail issues, help please.
Hi Gilly,
One of my members is having issues with cc ing in me and a few otherIf these are replies she's posting, some email interfaces allow the user to select "Reply to all" as the default reply method. That would likely post to both the group and the original sender. She'd have to look for that setting in her email interface. I¡¯m pretty sure the issue is her end but I also remember seeing aIn the Message Policies section of your group's Settings page is the "Reply To" option. It can be set to one of: Group, Sender, Moderators, or Group and Sender. I agree with you though, this isn't likely the problem if it is just the one member having the issue. Shal |

Re: timezone in digests
Tony,
Your email header shows.The date field is ordinarily supplied by the email user interface, in my case Thunderbird. "-0800" is my current UTC offset (U.S. Pacific standard time). During Daylight time my offset is -0700. Delivery-date: Mon, 11 Dec 2017 09:15:41 +0200That field was most likely added by your email service. So we have: 10 Dec 2017 23:14:25 -0800 my time, equals 11 Dec 2017 07:14:25 -0000 UTC, equals 11 Dec 2017 09:14:25 +0200 your time 11 Dec 2017 09:15:41 +0200 your email service received it -------------------- = 1:16 Time in transit Actually, all but a second or two of that time in transit would have been spent waiting in GMF's Pending queue (because 100% of messages here are moderated). A major problem in email timezones is that gmail uses their ownThat's not always the case. I know gmail users in other timezones whose Date field is correctly represented in their UTC offset. But even so, I'm not sure why it would be a major problem if Gmail did always use their own timezone. Shal |

Re: Viewing Group message format settings
The basic settings are listed on the home page of the group under Group
Settings. This obviously doesn't include them all. Dave On 11 Dec 2017 at 16:25, David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: Can a non-admin view the settings of a group they are a member of? |

Re: timezone in digests
Al,
The Timezone should be able to be set by the ownerPerhaps we could suggest that a member timezone be one of the settings the admins (owners/moderators) can make in the Def Sub Settings tab of the group Settings page. If the joining member hasn't already set their timezone (in their account settings) then it could be pre-set from this default member value. If I have no control over the individual users TimezoneI'm not sure what you mean by "the request", but message content (a time written in the body of a message) is never adjusted for timezone. So if you are posting instructions with due dates and times, those won't be affected. The member's timezone affects what the member sees on the web site as times that messages and other content is posted, and events in the group's calendar. When the member first signed up and logged into the web site they had the opportunity to set their account timezone. If they're looking at the group calendar there's a control there to set the member's account timezone also. So for most members this won't really be an issue. At one time it was said that on that first log-in the system would automatically detect the member's timezone and set it accordingly. I can't easily test that (I'm in US. Pacific time) so I'd be happy to have someone in another timezone confirm or deny that for me. Note that means the first log-in of a given email address. If Groups.io has ever seen the email address before (joining your group or any other) then this does not apply. However Digests are the exception - members might be email-only, receiving Digests without having ever logged in to the web site. So to handle that case having a default timezone set by the group admins may be beneficial. Shal |

Re: timezone in digests
The Timezone should be able to be set by the owner I have a NY based EST group I set the group to EST If I have no control over the individual users Timezone ??????????????? Then the messages will be 3 hours off for everyone and confuse the posts as to the request and what is the actual time and when the request is due ??????????????? To have over 250 users change the timezone is not practical ? ??????????????? I understand that in some groups members can be in different timezones ¨C yet there should still be an override for the owner based on the requirements of that group ? ?

Re: Messages List for Owners/Moderators Only
Arno,
Instead of CC'ing everyone when communicating amongst each other ...You don't need to CC (or better, bcc) everyone individually, just cc the group's +owner address. That will send a copy to all the owners/mods at their email service. I do that when replying to a member from my email. If I reply via the group's web site there's generally a checkbox to bcc all the moderators. ... it would be nice to have a second (folder for) Messages in theAs Duane mentioned, many have wished for a page for +owner messages that works much like the group Messages page, but is available to mods and owners only and includes messages sent to and from the +owner address. As a footnote to that, any messages you send to a member via your own email interface, even if you spoof the From as being the +owner address, won't be received by Groups.io (and therefor won't be in that +owner page) unless you explicitly cc the group's +owner address when you send it.

Re: timezone in digests
Jonathan,
It isn't my settings that matter, but those of one of the members ofNo, the user's timezone is part of their account information, not available to group moderators. Perhaps a suggestion could be made (in beta@) to include a display of the member's timezone in their subscription page, Membership tab. (available through the Members list). Like their User Name it wouldn't be appropriate to let a group owner or moderator change it, but displaying it might be ok. Shal |

Re: timezone in digests
Jonathan,
When I go there it seems to be asking for a password. I don'tYou might not have. You can log in by clicking "Email me a link to log in" and never bother to set a password. The emailed link will log you in for 30 days. How do I find out what this is?There's no way to find out what your password is. You can set one (or reset it) using the emailed log-in link, as above, or by clicking the "Forgot your password?" link. So does every member of the list need to set their timezone?Yes. I thought that the timezone was automatically detected when each user first logs in, or maybe the first time they post. But maybe not. And it wouldn't help a digest user who hasn't logged in or posted yet anyway. Shal |
