Re: Pending member expiration

#11646

I have never had one expire after 14 days either.  We contact prospective members (via private email off-group so it shouldn't interfere with anything in groups.io) and wait for a reply from them.  If we don't get a response after 3 weeks or so I just delete it - one has never "expired" on its own.  It has never seemed important enough to me to report it but my experience is consistent with what Debbie observes.

Duane,

?

Where are they stored if not in Emailed Photos so they can be seen every time the post is read?

I don't believe there's a way to prevent embedded photos, only attached ones.? The good news is that embedded photos shouldn't use any of the group storage quota since they're not stored in the Emailed Photos album.? You could check there to see if it shows up.? If not, it was embedded.

Re: spam override

#11643

It sounds like maybe her email is being caught in the relatively new scanning feature, .? It would depend on what all is included in her email, such as signatures with links.? You should be able to check the activity log for your group to see if this is what's happening.? If you have her subscribe using the web site, or at least create an account, it may help.

Photos came through in some messages, but not others #messages #photos

#11642

A message posted to our group had a photo in it. I thought I had selected the settings that would not allow photos in messages, but I didn't receive a notification to approve/disapprove the message.

Is this an anomaly or is there an additional setting I need to select to make sure that all messages with photos are tagged for approval?

Thank you,
Paula

You can't force anyone to enter a name.? You do have the option to enter one for them.? If neither of those happens, the site will attempt to get a name from the first post they send by email.

Apologies to all.? It was Adblock that was keeping me from seeing the links, as it was with Gaute, not Flash.? (That was over a year ago!)? Since there are no ads on Groups.io, I've disabled Adblock for the site.

Once you click on Account, it will open a new page with a menu on the left.? On that menu, select Preferences.

spam override

#11638

we have a club member we are trying to get subscribed to IO from yahoo................when she tries to subscribe to our IO list she gets a bounce message back saying "spam" - how might she fix that??? is there any way I as owner can get around that?? there is no link in the email back to her from IO with a link to override that - as there is in a typical "you've spammed us, hence you're bounced off the list" - 'but if this is in error, click this link to be resubscribed.......
clear as mud, eh?
thanks - Jan from NH

Re: Invitation Approval

#11637

Sorry!? I thought the original poster was asking how long before they received notification that an invitee had actually subscribed.

New Members

#11636

Is there a way to change our group's requirements that new members who wish to join have to put a name into the fields?? And if they don't want to enter their name, it doesn't allow them to submit the request to join?

Hm.. when you ask that way, I went and had a look at the source.
No flash there.

What I did find was a row of html which AdBlock+ had hidden as being "intrusive social networking stuff" I guess.
Presumably because the .btn-social class on the <a> tags.

OK, I guess I should not be so hard on groups.io then.
The text underneath makes a lot more sense now :-)

However adblocking is getting kind of common, and there is this this webdesign thing called graceful degradation..

Re: Editing Files

I used the sidebar function in the Wiki to create a list of leaders in our group. You can also put a "sticky" wiki page that sits on top of your message board, though it only shows a few lines of text and then an option to see the whole thing. One other option is to create a database, that would be easily edited and downloaded.

One of my group members has had problems with a “send mail as” address. He gave me the information below. I don’t totally understand it but thought someone here might.

Sharon

Show quoted text

In plain English, this kicks in if one uses gmail to handle other accounts, using the

Send mail as:
(Use Gmail to send from your other email addresses)

...feature in the gmail settings.

What happens is that gmail puts the "send mail as" address for the desired account in the 'from' field of the sent message.

but it also adds a 'sender' field in the message headers, with the base account address in it (the actual gmail user login address), which is not the same as the 'from' address.

Apparently the groups.io software looks at the 'sender' field, if there is one, and uses that to determine list membership. Since in this case it doesn't match a subscribed address (which is in the 'from' field), the message is rejected.

Sorry. ? I did not initially see your post. ?I have just started using both groups.io and Slack. ?
In groups.io, settings, member sync, I just set up member sync between the two groups called unbamateurradioclub. ?I am the owner of both groups. ?i had to authenticate with Slack. ?At the moment it seems to work. ?Thank you.

Shal,

Files seems like a more logical place for what I'm storing on the Groups.io site, but looks like wiki will certainly work.? Thanks!

Maureen,

?Is there a way to create a new file (not transferred from Yahoo!) in Groups.io which can be edited "in place"??

For in place editing use your group's wiki.
