Re: pending membership
Victoria,
There is no notification in the members Email Delivery history aboutThose two places only hold the one most recent. Was there anything listed there that would have been newer than the Pending Subscription notice? That may have knocked it aside. Otherwise, check your list of member notices to be sure that you have marked a Pending Subscription notice as "Active". Otherwise it won't be sent.

Re: #issue No mails delivered to any of the group except owner
#issue
Daniel,
All my different E-Mail Accounts still had my full name as name ofNo, that's not right. Whether inbound (posting) or outbound (receiving) the actual email address is all that matters - the display name portion of the address is just for display purposes - it isn't used by software. And since my name was always the same, I always got 2 mails to my mainIf you're talking about messages sent to the group's posting address, it wouldn't matter which address sent the message, as long as it is subscribed to the group (or is an alias for an address that is, or if the group allows non-subscriber posts). And all else being equal, each of your subscribed addresses would receive a copy of the message. That's basic list operation. One thing you can do to help clarify this is look at the footer of the two copies. At the end of the footer is the subscribed email address. That will likely tell the story.

Question about chat history
Does anyone know how long the content in the chat room is preserved?? Is it forever and ever like the rest of Groups.io?
Is there a way to delete a chat? Are there private chat rooms or can anyone in the group join a chat at any time? Thank you any information about chat.? I saw nothing on the Help page or by searching "chat history" or "chat content." Carol B. |

As a moderator, If I look at a member through the members list and select the "Email Delivery History" tab, is there a way to see more than just the most recent good and bad deliveries?I can't speak to how far back the delivery history goes. I will say that the tab you're talking about is supposed to deal with exactly what it says -- bouncing emails, and issues associated with message delivery, not group moderation. Instead, find any subscriber's post and click on the More menu. At that point you can view "all posts by this member" and perhaps obtain information that will be more useful for purposes of group moderation.

Re: Is there a full email history?
No.? Since each member can turn delivery off and on at will, there would be no good way to keep up with it.

Re: Inviting Members
It sounds to me like you should use a database.? You could either enter each person's information or have them add their own.? If you add it, you could even hide the entire DB from other members.
Based on your description, I wouldn't send an invitation unless I already had the information needed.? Then it would work fine as is.

Png file
One of my group members sends messages to our group and each of her messages has two .png files attached to it. Those files, which are small in size, show up in our "emailed photos" album as a light blue solid square. Although they are very small size so they are not taking up a lot of our photo space, they are annoying in the group of emailed photos, so I keep removing them. The member is not actively attaching anything to her messages, and she is not tech savvy, so she has no idea what is adding those files. She sends her messages from Windows 10 Mail. Does anyone have any idea what these are and how she can eliminate them? When I try to open those attached files, each one opens in my Windows photo viewer as just a straight line, one slightly bigger than the other.

Re: Inviting Members
Some of my groups are unrestricted for Dance and Performance announcements - anyone may join (anonymously if they wish). These groups are virtually all announcements by Moderators, with any Member posts moderated.

Most of my groups are for amateur musicians who get together to play (often in various private homes), share sheet music (stored in the Files section), and for Dances and Performances - a different email List and related website for each group of musicians. These are restricted groups that welcome anybody, but we want to know who you are, so the only qualifications are: 1) Come and Play with us first. 2) Then Join with your Full Name. Perhaps my cautions are too ¡®Old School¡¯, but it makes members feel comfortable and has worked well for 18 years. These restricted groups post who's holding a session when (with a phone number to call if you don't know where the host's home is), detailed reports of what has been played, set lists for performances, pictures, other music opportunities, and sometimes the history of a tune, song, composer, musician or band is discussed. The idea is that we are friendly people with no need to hide behind a false name, and who don¡¯t want to be SPAMMED - unless someone¡¯s email account is hacked, having only known members accomplishes this. Occasionally someone may get off topic (not group or music-related), but a note to them and Moderation curbs that. I used to not want Full Names to go along with email addresses (to keep them from Yahoo), but with 10 Lists I can¡¯t remember which email address belongs to which member. It seems like an option so many would want to make this more convenient to accomplish, and could simplify Groups.io membership pages. I¡¯d love to have a message (instructions) I can write and a few designatable fill-in fields included in the Invite and Join processes. It would certain help with those people who usually manage to be able to respond to an email, but not initiate one... Victoria wrote: |

I have just set up a group of some 300 and been hit by this 'feature'Groups.io needs some way to show who sent the message. Since there is no account identifier other than the email address, and given that some subscribers choose not to set a Display Name, I don't see an alternative. Because of this and the EU GDPR regulations I have had to close the group I just set up (lasted a couple of days)Note that Yahoo groups also puts the email address in the From field of the message header. So you won't be able to use that, either. I don't recall what Google Groups does. I hope you find an alternative that meets your needs.
