Re: Sharing responses to postings with entire group
I wouldn't worry about information overload, because users can individually adjust their mail settings. For example, receive all email, receive no email, receive only important group notifications. If receiving all email, they can get them sent out as they arise but they can also opt for a digest, which?means a bunch of emails sent in one larger email about once a week (or more frequently if there's a lot of email that week). Of course, if you make that change, it would make sense to tell your users how to do that. That would be an "important group announcement."?? -P.

The hashtag properties determine if a member can reply to that: If Replies by Mods Only is not checked then the email reply from a member can contain the 'special' hashtag but the outgoing message is not sent as [Special] because only Owners/Mods can send those. If a Member emails a reply and the Replies by Mods Only is checked, then they receive a failure notice with the message: I think this is slightly misleading as it implies that removal of the offending hashtag from the subject line means that the message would be accepted but as a hashtag is a topic property, removing the hashtag from the subject line of a reply message has no effect and results in the same rejection message.? I'll flag that on Beta to see if the wording can be revised. Regards Andy |

Re: Sharing responses to postings with entire group
开云体育AnitaI may be in the minority and be misunderstanding but I'm confused as to what exactly you want to do.? “share all responses to all posting with all members” sounds, to me, as if you want to “repost” or somehow “make available,” in one single action, ALL RESPONSES that have EVER been posted to EVERY Topic that had posted to your group. ? Is that what you mean? Or do you mean be able to direct members to ALL replies to ONE particular topic? ? You can create a link that, when sent to the group, will point them to the entire thread of the given Topic if that's what you intend.? Can you clarify the end result you want.? Ken |

Re: Sharing responses to postings with entire group
If members aren't getting messages sent to the group email address, you should check out your group settings in Admin. Check the Reply To settings. For information about it, see
/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/customizing-group-settings/message-policy-settings Members can be encouraged to adjust their subscription ?- See Member Help,?/helpcenter/membersmanual/1/controlling-your-email-subscription-preferences Some members may prefer digest or even just get the first message in any thread and then just follow the thread by choose that.

Re: Sharing responses to postings with entire group
开云体育Anita, ? From what I can see and know, all anyone in your group has to do to ‘share all postings with all members’ is to have the members send a post to your address <[email protected]> . That will put any post into ‘Messages’, and then anyone authorized to see the messages would have all of them visible. Am I missing something here? ? It appears you have all messages moderated, all group members moderated and subscriptions monitored. Ergo, no one should be able to ‘get in’ without being approved; no message should ‘post’ without being approved by a moderator; no member should be able to read anything without the pre-approvals (moderators clearing all aspects) first. But, once they are part of the group, and the message is posted…it should be fully available to all who are authorized. ?

Re: Not understanding “Special Notice”
@JS
>>>I think if your reply via the web interface, rather than your email program<<< My experience is that once the OM is posted, the checkbox is no longer available for follow up messages posted by the Mod.? @BB It appears that the only diffs/a SM is that the prefix [Special] is appended to the email Subject (but is scrubbed from and does not appear on the web UI Topic. ? I see benefit to having that #tag since it seems that it should persist in the Topic text.? I wonder if a SM could be sent via email (as either an original Topic or a follow-up post) if the [prefix] is included in the Subject line??? |
