New Membership Subscriptions via Email Subscription Address
#membershiprequest
I have a question about the email subscription address that is added on all group's? Home page:? Subscribe: [email protected].? If someone clicks on this and submits an email subscription request, are they also sent the automatic Member Notice that we can set up to be sent to all pending subscriptions?? We try to screen all prospective list members by setting up that "Pending Subscription" notice, and have them answer a couple of list-related questions.? Trying to screen out list spammers.? But, I am concerned that people who try to subscribe via that email subscription option will NOT get this automated Pending Subscription message.? If they do not, is they a way to remove that Subscribe email from our Home page so it's not an option?? I still wish that Mark would allow us to set up a questionnaire at the "Join Group" page, that forces a prospective list member to answer questions we can set up.? A feature that can be turned on if a list owner would like.? Yahoo Groups had this option, and it was seamless - a new prospective list member couldn't even submit the membership request without answering the questions.? The way we have it now is hit and miss.?

Re: difference between a chat and a topic?

Any advice about the difference between a chat and a topic?I'd say the main difference is that you must be logged in to participate in a chat, and anything typed into one isn't sent out as emails.?Chat discussions also generally occur in real time, and the associated messages tend to be short (kinda like Twitter), although you don't have to use them like that. Think "telephone conference," but you're typing instead of talking. See ?and?/helpcenter/membersmanual/1/working-with-chats/understanding-the-chats-feature?

I tested it with a friend using the syntax: [email protected]. This has not been successful. Is there another syntax?No, that should work.? For your particular group, it would be [email protected]? If they send an email to that address, they should go onto the Pending Subscription list. Duane -- The official Groups.io user documentation is in the Groups.io Help Center.

If so, it's good to know that the information is logged in all groups the person is in.That's a good idea. I'll ask him about that. I suppose that's what happened. I do change an email address, from time to time, for some of my members who aren't very good about working with computers. But most of my members aren't connected with any other groups.io mailing lists. (I think moderators must be aware that a person can't change an email address without affecting all the groups to which that person belongs. There's a prominent notice to that effect on the member's "subscription" record:) Note: Changing this email address changes the email address for this person's account, affecting all of their other subscriptions.

Re: Odd message
Tim,
Got a note on a group, where I am co-admin - which said go to myThe notice is probably moot now. There were service disruptions at Gmail on Monday and Tuesday that caused many hundreds of users' email addresses to be put on Bouncing status. Yesterday, after the dust settled, Groups.io reset the bouncing status on affected Gmail and Googlemail addresses. didn't find such but did find this in recent bounces - 12/14 from thisGMF was rather active both days, so a message from us would have been fairly likely to be the trigger for your address to be set to Bouncing status if your Gmail address was affected by the service disruption. On 12/15 one came in for one of the groups I do manage - but best II'm not sure what you mean. "One" what came in? If you get a notice that your account is bouncing then it is your address, not anyone else's, that is affected. What gives?/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/additional-information/groups-io-bounce-handling In the parlance of that page, the Gmail service disruption was causing "Hard" bounces, such that the first instance would immediately put the member's account into "Bouncing" status (Step 2).

Re: Odd message
Tim, it is not a groups.io issue, apparently Google/gmail was/is having issues.
If you have a gmail account, you may get these bouncing messages. I got two myself today,
and had to 'unbounce' on the site 3 times!

This evening I don't find a message in this group with that and better yet I'm not even sure why I got such a bounce. On 12/15 one came in for one of the groups I do manage - but best I can tell it doesn't show an email address that may have bounced? What gives? Tim Stowell |
