Maybe today was the day their spam folders got cleared by Yahoo and there were GIO messages in there.? Remember, it doesn't have to be the member that marks it as spam.? Sometimes Yahoo does that on its own.

One was unsubscribed twice and rejoined twice just in the past 24
hours. I thought this was odd so I checked the domain of the email
addresses and they were all Yahoo email addresses.

You say that someone complained that deleting and reporting spam are too close together. That is a factor of their email.
Certainly in Apple Mail and in Gmail, they are side-by-side.
Unfortunately that aspect is subscriber behaviour, not Groups.io

The question of whether something is happening on Yahoo today remains ?question, though. ?I don't see any problems. ?Look in Admin, Activity, in Members. Use the dropdown menu to select Remove because of spam report. Click on the blue search button on the right.?

I still have a Yahoo mail account, even though it is now never used and was only rarely used previously, but it gave me the chance to go and have a look. The Delete and Spam buttons are adjacent, but not (IMHO) all that close together.

Don't forget that Yahoo is one of the mail service providers that from time to time enthusiastically sets about declaring Groups.io traffic as spam even when it clearly isn't, although by itself that should not result in members being unsubscribed.

The mechanisms are described at length in the relevant GMF wiki page here so I won't regurgitate it all in this post. If you haven't already done so please draw this wiki page to your members' attention so that they can read it for themselves.

I'm wondering if something is happening with Yahoo Mail today?

We've had several people unsubscribed from the group for marking a
message as spam and they were all Yahoo email addresses.
One was unsubscribed twice and rejoined twice just in the past 24
hours. I thought this was odd so I checked the domain of the email
addresses and they were all Yahoo email addresses.

One told me that the button for marking a message as spam and the
delete button are very close together and it's all too easy to do
this, but unless this was a very recent change, it doesn't explain why
this has happened to about 1/2 dozen members in one particular group.
Two of those happenings were by the same person, who thought
previously (a few days ago) that he had it fixed so it wouldn't happen
again.

Crossing fingers sis, looks like there may be hope still!

When you attempt to delete a group, you get a red box warning?clearly stating that it cannot be undone. See the screenshot immediately below.


And if that isn't good enough, a second dialog box pops up giving you a chance to reconsider. You have to type "I understand" and click another red button before the deletion actually occurs.


We can talk about this until the cows come home, but it seems to me that the answer couldn't be any clearer. In the unlikely event that a group is recoverable, your ONLY source of salvation will come from support, not GMF.

Arlette, just to be clear - are you talking about deleted groups on Yahoo or on Groups.io

Frances makes a good point there; your original post was a bit short on specifics and if your communications with Support have also been "detail - light" then I'm not entirely surprised that you have not received any response; whether Mark is around or not the Support team (however large or small it is) simply won't have the time to try to prise full details from those who contact them.

Arlette; you also wrote I only want my own groups back. Perhaps you could confirm whether or not it was you who deleted them. Every deletion from a group carries with it a stark warning that it cannot be undone, and although I have never deleted an entire group, Bruce clearly has (or has investigated doing it) so it should have been unmistakeably clear that completing a deletion had a finality about it.

I suspect that you are pursuing a lost cause. Sin in haste; repent at leisure perhaps.

All responses assumed Groups.io groups.?

Thank you Bruce. I don't own the event/group and don't have those permissions. I'll suggest an adjustment to the owner. Perhaps I'll make a feature suggestion to make event reminders a bit more granular, if possible. HNY, Howard

[Mod Note: Event reminders are already quite "granular", and can be set up to occur weeks, days, hours, or minutes prior to the event.]

Even if Mark Fletcher is on vacation, is Groups.io left without support? Isn.t there anyone else to feel his place till he gets back?

We have no way of knowing that. I do know that he's only responding to support requests from owners of Premium groups at this time. If you have no existing group, or your group is on the Basic plan, you probably won't receive any response.

There have been several groups that have been removed due to ToS (copyright) violations.? If it's one of those groups, they're gone.

Undoubtedly.

Is there a way to break out Calendar Event reminders so they are received timely v. other messages that would be received only in the daily digest? This is having a measurable effect on event participation and being able to break out calendar event reminders would help this issue.

Not that I'm aware of. I suggest scheduling the reminder for the day before, instead of the day of, the event.

Perhaps there is a setting the event/calendar owner can set for events already to override Subscription? Digested.Daily messages? Do Special Notices override Digested/Daily summary Settings?

You should check your own Email Delivery History on your Subscription.? That will tell you if the messages have been sent to you.? I suspect they have, but are going to your spam/junk folder.

I do not get the e-mail from one person when he posts to the free Group.
I had the Setting set to get messages from subscribers only.
(second one on the list)
The person must be a subscriber since he has been a Group member even when it
was a Yahoo Group .
My not getting his messages via e-mail started several months ago.
His messages do appear in the Messages in the proper Topic.
I only notice the problem because he has had to be Moderated several times in the past.
Can non-subscribers post messages? I did not think so.

I have now changed the Setting to get All e-mails.
I will not know if that is the solution until the person posts again.
I have all notification boxes checked.

Thanks,
Richard

Hey, it does! See example at?/g/ias-indy?

I won't leave it that way for long, just a couple days so people can see it.

I believe the home page editor and the message editor are the same, and you can certainly embed anything you want, using the Source Code mode. The problem is that many HTML constructs are stripped upon save. Examples include javascript, lots of inline CSS, forms and iframes (exhaustive list not available). If I recall correctly, the Google calendar embed code is implemented as an iframe.

I just did a quick test.? I was able to use an iframe in the description of the home page by inserting it in the source code view, so the Google code may work.? I was unable to get it to work within a message - it was stripped.? I suspect at least one of the possible reasons is that only the owner/moderator can change the group description, whereas anyone could put the code in a message.
