After the confirmed email is then approved nothing appears in the sub group. I will ping support, I think it's a bug On Sun, Oct 14, 2018, 9:22 PM Bruce Bowman <bruce.bowman@...> wrote: On Sun, Oct 14, 2018 at 08:08 PM, William Finn wrote: |

It seems pretty weird on the surface; but is consistent with the subscription logic (one cannot join the subgroup unless you're already a member of main). What happens when you try to join both at once? Beats me. And so I'm intrigued. Is the email address still NC? Perhaps once it's confirmed the pending subgroup join request will magically appear. Or perhaps once you approve the main group request and then he will mysteriously show up in the subgroup, too. The work-around is fairly obvious, but I would be tempted to contact support anyway, just to elucidate Mark's thinking on this. Regards, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: Bug in subscription

Liam,
Set to moderation 1 email.That is unrelated to joining the group (the +subscribe function). Both main and sub group are set to require approval.You mean both have the "Restricted Membership" box checked, correct? Approval was requested for main group but not the sub groupDid the person appear in the Pending Approval list on the subgroup's Members page? You (as owner / moderator of the subgroup) have a set of checkboxes for the notifications you'll receive. That Subscription page is separate for each subgroup and the primary group. So not being notified of the needed approval might be a function of your Subscription settings. On the other hand, if the member did not appear in the Pending Approval list that sounds like a bug.

Re: Regularly dropped from Group
Hi
I believe the "email me a link" login just lasts 30 days.?Also, logins expire after 30 days, or whenever browser cookies are deleted.

Re: Regularly dropped from Group
Richard,
Every month or so, I find I am not subscribed and have to re-do it.Not subscribed? It sounds like you were simply logged out. If you were simply logged out you'd still receive group messages and notifications by email, assuming you haven't disabled email in your Subscription pages. In addition I have to ask to be sent a link, because my password isAny time you are logged in, go to your Account page. Get there from the drop-menu under your name in the upper right-hand corner of any Groups.io page. There you can enter a new password into the box and click "Change Password" to update it. ad why am I dropped every month or so, even being the Owner.From your description I don't think you are being dropped or unsubscribed. The browser cookie that keeps you logged in has a one-month expiration, so needing to log back in periodically is normal.

Markdown is not a native browser language, so at some point it's being converted to html for display. You can see the html by using the "view source" (or similar menu selection) in your browser while viewing your wiki after you're done with composition. In principle, it should then be possible to extract that html, apply some of the the styles to your tags, and save it back via the editor. Having said all that, if you're not fairly proficient with html then none of this bootstrap.css stuff is likely to make sense anyway. I agree with Shal that it wouldn't hurt to report your original problem to support; however, I didn't see anything in to suggest that table cell borders are a supported markdown feature. My recommendation would be to open the wiki file in the html editor. Switch to html in your preferences, open the editor, then click on the far right icon (looks like three bars) then again on the far right icon (looks like <>). This will display the html source. Look for the tag with the TABLE attribute. Immediately after TABLE, insert border="1" cellpadding="5" width="100%", then save.? These are deprecated html constructs, but if the groups.io editor doesn't strip them, they should give you what you want. Good luck, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Bug in subscription
#bug
Hi,
I created a main group. Inside this group I created some sub groups. Each sub group has a subscription email address. When a new user subscribes to a sub group using the above mentioned email they are added to the main group and not the sub group. Being added to the main group is expected behavior but one would also expect being joined to the sub group also. Do I misunderstand how it should work or did I find a bug? Liam |

Re: Direct Add commas appearing in Display Name.
Bill,
the extra comma does not appear. They only appear if copied from theIn Excel you have to make sure the Display Name and the address are in the same column, otherwise an intervening comma in the CSV is inevitable. I recommend against writing to a CSV. Instead select the (desired rows of) the column in Excel and copy / paste directly into the Direct Add address box. I use the CONCATENATE() function to build the desired string in an auxiliary column. For example, if Column A has the email addresses, and Column B has the Display Names, I create another column containing the formula: =CONCATENATE("""",$B3,""" <",$A3,">") Note that I put " marks around the Display Name - I did that because some of my members have commas in their Display name. Without that complication it would be simply: =CONCATENATE($B3," <",$A3,">") Copy that formula into all the rows of the auxiliary column and now you have a copy/paste -able column for Direct Add (or Invite).

JMichaelTX,
Thanks for your reply. I have read, and re-read, that (this) threadThe CSS file (or a version of it) is already applied to every page on site. The work-around discussed is using those definitions to achieve desired effects when editing HTML entities in Source Code mode (a feature of the HTML composition boxes). I am using Markdown, so that may limit my choices. Any suggestions?Probably. I don't imagine Markdown composition offers an equivalent feature - it would almost have to be an edit feature of the preview window. Is this a groups.io bug that should be reported?The inability to reference those CSS definitions in Markdown isn't a bug; maybe a limitation but that probably wouldn't be the right way to address limitations of the available formatting in Markdown. Your original complaint in #12509 about the missing borders and gaps in the rendered Markdown output may be a bug. I think I'd report it to [email protected] as one.

Re: Direct Add commas appearing in Display Name.
Bill,
but when on the ¡°Admin/Members¡± screen, this extra comma is also shownIf those commas were truly not in the addresses as you entered them then this looks like a bug to me, and a recent one. I Direct Add'd several dozen members a few weeks ago without this happening - using exactly the format you show as example (copy/pasted from Excel). I'd report that to [email protected] as a bug. Leave an example intact if you can and cited it by group name and member address.
