I already know to ask her about 'Other Members' in group profile, but if that made any difference, why can she see one fellow member but no others?
Any ideas?

You should have promptly received an automated "[Request received]" message from support. If not, you need to figure out if it landed in your Spam folder or was otherwise diverted by your email service, or if your message wasn't sent, or was sent to the wrong address. I have received the confirmation email, but nothign else..was just wondering what an 'average' response time may be? And I realise with the influx of yahoo users that it will take longer. If you got the automated reply, but are awaiting a human response that normally takes a day or so, but recently support has been innundated both with Yahoo Group transfer requests and likely with issues relating to Europe's new GDPR law. Still, it shouldn't take Mark more than a few days to respond.
I'd be interested to hear what response you (eventually) get from support, or however this issue turns out. If there's an undocumented restriction on searching lengthy messages that deserves to be brought to light. Absolutely, and it doe snto make sense to me as I have described elsewhere.

Thanks Bruce for that excellent page!

That's... peculiar.
I thought so to, but as very few of the contents of the messages are real 'words' I have become used to such things from all the search engines, over the years :) I tried searching for that and got no results, rather than a bunch of messages with those characters highlighted. But I didn't create any messages that would actually contain that string so maybe I didn't have the initial conditions of the test set up correctly.
You didn't accidentally include any invisible separators between those characters did you? For example, did you simply type the string "A1DEF2" into the search box or did you copy/paste it from somewhere (like a message body)? Very good point, but I manually typed in the search term, so no hidden characters there. Thanks very much for your help Alexis

Ah, but when the subject matter is a log of data, all the contents of the message are relevant, or not releveant to the subject.
But I do see you argument, and have always realised that the type of messages posted on my groups are in the minority, especially as they contain very few real words.
But still, limiting the search to only a certain number of words seems pointless.
If a message is less than the limit, the the speed factor will not come into it. If it is more than the limit and the entire message is searched, then that particular search will just take longer.
I realise that it may put extra strain on the server, but as the bulk of the messages, as you stated are less than 500 words, the hadnful of seraches made on my group and other similar ones, coupled with good indexing and search coding, along with modern hardware, should cause even a noticeable strain in the server.
Do you know for sure that there is a limit on the search routines. Or is it just supposition?
Cheers
Alexis

I think the premise is that by the time you've gotten 500 words into a message
the subject matter should have been mentioned at least once. Groups.io was set
up to accommodate discussion groups...those with a need to post lengthy
documents as messages and rely on the search engine to index those documents for
them are in a definite minority here.
Would anyone else have more definitive info please?

Thanks for that. Useful info to have.
all the searches done in my group are on complete 'words' so at least that should not be an issue.

were searching for A1DEF2 as part of C2A1DEF2, it won't be found. Basically,
you can search for items that have a space on either end. I haven't yet found a
post long enough to check on finding it further down, but maybe this will allow
you to do so. There has been some discussion on the beta group about having
partial searches, especially with things like part numbers (or code), but no
progress yet.

Settings to allow members to see the calendar
#calendar
My group is new to Groups.io and we are learning our way around the site. We decided to use the Calendar to post events that would be of interest to our members. What setting would I choose to allow the moderators to have access to post to the calendar and allow all the members to see it? I have some members who can't see the different events.
Thanks!

Re: Members not receiving group emails
Is it possible that
these members are unaware of the various tab sorts that gmail
uses? I've found that problem with some of my clients who use
gmail. My list serve emails in gmail end up in the Forums tab.

These two also use gmail and I noticed while setting one of my

Can we translate the interface of our IO group?
Will groups.io offer an option to translate the interface of individual groups? I mean the menu structure on the left (Home, Guidelines, Subscription, Messages, etcetera)?

If you have a "sent mail" folder, you can access the out[gone] message and resend to the group email address. If you replied using the web interface, there is no way of retrieving it. My groups are set to "reply to group," with other reply options disabled. If you're the group owner and you expect this to be default behavior, I recommend you do the same. All messages contain the originating email address, and I'd really like to think my subscribers are fully capable of sending a personal message offline as needed.

Re: Accepting/rejecting event invites
As others have noted the option is not available in free groups. There is a workaround, although it won¡¯t be tied to an event announcement. Create a poll announcing the event with the vote options you mentioned ¡°Will attend¡±, ¡°Will not attend¡± and ¡°May attend¡±. You can set it to show the identity of each person who responds, and what they selected. Unfortunately you can¡¯t force a response, so you will probably have a lot of unknowns. ? Randy T ?

Subject: [GMF] Accepting/rejecting event invites ? Hi,
I'm new here, trying to move from a Facebook group. I like the interface and features, but can't seem to figure out if it's possible to track groups members response to an event invite?
In Facebook, you can say yes, no or maybe to an invite, and tracking is available from the event. Is this possible here?
Thanks.
