Must the hashtag come first, before the subject?

Re: New member introduction
Thanks. I understand what you're saying and it does make sense for many groups. However we are a friendly club for local/regional members only. So, we also use the introduction to filter out people that are not in our area. Our website has instructions on how to introduce yourself and what to include that pertains to the club.
Part of it is just the club's philosophy on becoming a part of this group of friends. The introduction is needed before "listening" to the conversation.?
I have not tried this but I think it is possible to reply to a request to join, so maybe we could send a reply asking for them to respond with an introduction before being added. Ideally we could customize and automate the initial response to requests.?
Thanks again for the suggestion.?

Re: E-mail Addresses and Footer
Thanks, Shal. Those issues didn't bother me, I just wanted to have some reasoning when I told the user I can't change them.

Does anyone have an idea of how we might smooth out this process using groups.io? What about just putting new members on moderated status until the post an introduction. Some people like to feel comfortable before they introduce themselves. Introducing yourself in the unknown can be weird. What do I say? How much is too much. If they are on moderation, you can check to see if have posted an introduction and if they haven¡¯t remind them. I think it would be less work.

Of all my photo album dreams, moving between albums rank right up there. Comments is the other one.
Our plan is to have a New Photos?album in the meantime. I¡¯d say probably to be deleted after a week (or month). People will load 2 photos - the same photo in it and their personal album.
One of our monitors loads photos into her personal album with a title starting from 999.
(Like 999 front view, 998 back view, 997 top view). That way her most recent picture is first in her album.

E-mail Addresses and Footer
Hello,
Sorry if this has been previously addressed. I'm not having any luck searching the group archive. One of the groups I manage was transferred over today (yay!), however, I've already received a few complaints and wasn't sure if I messed up a setting or what. The first is that the e-mail addresses of people posting are being changed. For example, a post I made had the e-mail address as tubaman21@... and another as railroadshortlinescc@.... It appears that this is only happening with yahoo addresses. Is this a setting or what is going on here?
The second complaint I got was about the default footer. It doesn't bother me, but it bothered someone enough to complain. Is there a way to remove it or shorten it? Or is it a default that can't be changed?
Thanks!
Bryan J. Howell

Our group is fairly new to groups.io and it's a *huge? improvement over Yahoo, which we used since it's early days.?
?We have a requirement that when someone joins our list they must first send an introduction email about themselves. ?This was a clunky multi step process with yahoo groups and I am looking for a better way.
With Yahoo we required an ?introduction email to be sent to a separate email address and also the user ?had to request to join or be sent an invitation. ?It caused a lot of confusion. ?Once we received the introduction email and the user has joined the group ?The moderator would send the introduction to the entire group.?
?Does anyone have an idea of how we might smooth out this process using groups.io?
Thanks for any ideas.?

Re: Way off topic, I think
Actually you can use your own domain on the enterprise plan. Ask her/him if they would like to pay for it. ;)

Three weeks ago it was four days.? Right now for my second YG list it has been 6 days since [email protected] was invited; [email protected] was made a moderator with? 30 minutes of accepting the invitation and now we are waiting in the queue.? If there are YG database issues or a temporary halt like several days ago it can be a week ago.? The number of requests has increased dramatically in the last three weeks.? AS a result formerly quick and easy things like the YG invite to [email protected] was just a few minutes to acceptance but this week has increased to five days or more for some.
Best advice is to get in queue now.? Just three weeks ago moving a group seemed iffy; it's gotten worse lately.

Oh, I see what you mean. I'm guessing that's because the person who uploaded it has a blank display name. You can check their member page and see if it is.
