Re: About Polls

 

Are they clicking on the VOTE button after making a choice?? That's the only thing I can think of at the moment.

I don't know if Shal has had time to do the most recent updates, but footers are explained very well at /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Footers

Re: Count of downloads of a particular file

 

There's nothing currently included in a group that would show that, only uploads.

According to Mark, non-members (or not logged in members) will always see fig-leafed addresses in a public archive.? I haven't verified it, but if true, that should minimize the problem.

Invite Function: GIO says "Invalid email address" after invites processed

 

  • <en5rp@...>: Invalid email address
  • <kirbygray@...>: Invalid email address
  • <w5rex2@...>: Invalid email address
Hello All,
Please Note: The above addresses have been altered to protect the invitees and are no longer real addresses, other than a few letter changes
the addresses are as submitted.?

Using the invite function I keep getting LOTS of "Invalid email address" after submitting.?
Several get processed, some have already subscribed. But, these are KNOWN good addresses.?
Is there a "block" function for the receiver that possibly activitated that previously when being invited? Are their servers blocking it?
Have their emails been reported BAD back to groups.io previously? have they clicked the spam button and kicking back the invites?
It seems fairly random, but very frequent. I have read and re-read the addresses and copied, cleaned and pasted back in with the same results.

Am I getting dyslexic, sloppy and blind? Am I missing something? ?
Or is there something else at work here that I am not aware of ?

Please advise.

Thanks

Go to Admin->Settings->Privacy. Pull down the Hide Email Addresses in Archives menu and select what you want ("do not mask email addresses in the archives").

If you group is an open one, think hard before doing this, as it can become a spam magnet for your subscribers.

IIRC, the domain information is not hidden in the actual emails forwarded by groups.io. But frankly, I've just gotten into the habit of writing addresses as myaccount(at)domain(dot)tld

Hope this helps,

About Polls

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I am just wondering why some of the members in my group when they vote their vote isn't tallied. At first I though they weren't signed in. So I went through the whole sign in process. They were signed in. Then I showed them screen shots of what to look for and they said they got to the voting place and selected how they wanted to vote.
?
Now me being the owner and how I set up the poll I am able to view who voted and how and their names are not listed in the poll. This has happened with a few of the members.

I have subscribed to my groups calendar from my Cozi calendar app and only half of the events are showing up in the feed. Do you know why some events are visible and others are not?

Customized e-mail message footers on Groups.io messages

Brian Vogel
 

Hello All,

? ? ? ? ? ? ?Since I do not participate using e-mail, at least not routinely, I do not often see the message footers that come in on the individual e-mail messages or digests.? I have on occasion changed my subscription type on various groups so that I did receive some messages or digests.? ?

? ? ? ? ? ? ?Without having gone back to review the ancient ones I still have, I never recall anything other than the standard Groups.io "link collection," an example of which is quoted here from one of my messages, being on a message.? Yet, today, I am getting this for my messages from the NVDA group:
---------------------

---------------------

Yet, minutes later, on an e-mail message from the same group, that came to me as a copy of my own post, it has the following:
--------------------------

Groups.io Links:

You receive all messages sent to this group.

?|?Reply To Group?|?Reply To Sender?|?Mute This Topic?|?


NVDA on?

NVDA is developed by NV Access in collaboration with the community.?

NVDA on Facebook:?

?|?Contact Group Owner?|??[britechguy@...]
--------------------------

Notice that above all of the Groups.io standard links are shown after the line, "You receive all messages sent to this group," yet they are not present on the footer of a message received that was the result of another member e-mailing.

What's going on here?? Is this a bug?? ?

If you can't rely on "the standard footers" either always being there, with custom ones added if the group owner wants them, or just custom ones if that's what the group owner wants, then it's impossible to consistently refer anyone to anything in the footers.

Thank you Shal for the thoughtful reply. ?I will include your alternative method when making a couple of suggestions to the board about how to move forward, and we will see if they are willing to give a try to something new.

Re: Hww can I repeat notice to user to confirm his email address? #membership #howto

 

Pedja,

I have few users that request membership but did not confirm their
email addresses.

How can I initiate sending reminder message that would instruct them
to confirm email address.
Click on their email address in the Members list (anywhere on their row except the checkbox). That opens their Membership page.

At the very bottom click the Send Confirmation Email button. Or, if your group is Premium, it will be a Confirm button instead; click it to confirm them directly.

Re: How to set calendar on speceific weekend in year #calendar

 

Bit cumbersome but it works.

Thanks!


Re: How to disable user? #membership

 

I tried with settings to no email but it seems to be quite a hassle and is not obvious to see in member list.

If I could change Role to Suspended that would be exactly what I need. I think that would be usable for others too.


Re: Links to older pages with group name change #groupname

 

Frances,

Will links to older messages automatically find the new URL? And
similarly, links to the home page?
No.

There is no redirection set in place to cause old links stored elsewhere (like a member's bookmarks) to redirect to the new address of the group. This is because the old address becomes immediately available for re-use.

Which provides you with the opportunity to immediately stand up a place-holder group under the old name, saying "We've moved". It could say that on the home page and in a first and only post.

You would lock down the placeholder with only yourself as a member (Restricted Membership, and don't approve anyone). You could set a Pending Subscription member notice saying "we've moved", so that you don't have to manually respond to anyone that attempts to join the placeholder.

Any other suggestions or cautionary notes?
As with the Yahoo Groups trick, you can set the placeholder group to allow non-subscribers to post, and then if anything lands in the pending queue Reject with a member notice that reiterates the "we've moved" message. This will catch any member that forgets to update their address book, or replies to an old message.

No...groups.io does not parse old messages and update any related links for you. A name change is kinda like a transfer from Yahoo in that regard.

Any other suggestions or cautionary notes?
I think you've already identified the main problem.?See also /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/18100671#8144?

Hope this helps,
