In that case, you should probably modify the group custom footer as Bruce mentioned to include the link.

Thanks, Bruce.? If the link is on the list home page, but the list member cannot figure out how to sign into Groups.io, not sure that's very helpful. I know those links are active on a list's home page, even if you're not signed in, but some/many of my list members are computer-challenged enough not to figure out how to search for our list while not signed into Groups.io.? In my mind, this is a miss.? The footer on the digest really should mirror the footer on an individual email.? That way, Digest members will have the same footer links as someone on Individual Emails.?

As you can see in the screenshot below, my Main Group was renamed to "[email protected]", but I apparently already had a subgroup with the same name. Is it possible to merge the subgroup into the Main Group so that I can delete the subgroup but retain the messages and move anyone who is only subscribed to the subgroup into the Main Group?

You can also delete the photo direct from the album should you so choose; Delete is another of the tabs under the photo. I know deleting the message sends a notification to its originator; at the moment I don't know if simply deleting the photo does as well.

Update; deleting the photo (rather than its parent message) does not delete the message, but leaves it there in a sort of orphan state. Not to be recommended IMHO.

I am also a bit uncertain about any notification to the originating member; at the moment there doesn't appear to be any but further testing is required on my part.

Have looked at this group's wiki, the groups.io wiki, and the help group wiki (doesn't exist), plus searched the emails in these groups, but haven't found the answers to my questions, so asking here.

I sent bounce probes to each bouncing member (most are Charter but one Charter member isn't bouncing - reason for bounce, 421 impin008.msg.chrl.nc.charter.net cmsmtp ESMTP server not available AUP#I-1300). I'm not clear on:

a) what is sent in a bounce probe

b) whether the member would see anything from the bounce probe - for example, a link to confirm delivery in the probe. I'm guessing the member doesn't see anything or have anything to respond to, that it's just looking for the email service's response.

c) at what point is an email sent to the member to confirm the membership is still valid? Is it only after the 15 days of grace period, assuming the bounce probes stop bouncing to start that period?

d) is there a way to be copied via email with the bounce probe's result?

I told the bouncing members I'd sent a probe, but I don't know what will happen after that (other than, as of just a couple minutes later, they've already bounced again).


In addition, a suggestion - please let me know if it should be posted on the beta group: When checking the bounce status of a given member, then clicking the "Members" button at the top of that member's status page, I assumed it would return me to the bounce page (so I can continue working on status issues), but instead it returns me to my full member list. Is this a glitch or is there a reason for this, requiring another click to get to the next bouncing member?

I saw an email with a similar request in the beta group - in that case, the person asked to be returned to the page where the owner/moderator started from when making a change to an individual member. My group is quite small at 92 members, but I'd agree with that idea as well. I have changed my preference to 100 per page, but of course if I'm not returned to the page I was on, that's moot.

And another suggestion - it would be nice to be able to multi-select bouncing members to check bounce-probe status, instead of checking them all individually. I only have 5 members I want to check, but even so it adds up to a lot more time than it needs to.

I *think* that's it for questions - but if there's something I've missed, like an online resource I don't mention above or a common question related to bouncing, please let me know.

Thanks much!

Hello,
I was wondering if someone sends an email to the [email protected] address, do you receive it? What about the [email protected] address? owner meaning your group name. One more thing. How do you send a notice to all the members at once using the notices saved in the settings?

Just setting up a new group after our dissatisfaction with Yahoo Groups grew untenable!

Everything is looking good but have 2 questions at the moment.

1. When a new file is uploaded is it possible to set up an automatic announcement to every member?
2. Has anyone any advice of how I get the members from the old Yahoo Group to the new group other than emailing all members and giving them the link to the group.io site? Some of our members are elderly or not regular computer users and if I can get the transfer as frictionless as possible it would be a bonus.

Thanks in advance.

That is well beyond my IT skills, but it is good to know I am not missing something obvious.

I will soldier on, copying back and forth the Word. I am getting there slowly.

Thanks for your help and reassurance.

How can I update our time zone? Seems like we are a few hours off on posts and calendar reminders.?

The +owner address is not there for a digest, but does appear on the group Home page.?

Footers have been a topic of much discussion (most recently ) and are a compromise between providing necessary links vs cluttering up every message. This is especially true of plain-text message delivery, in which each URL is a fairly long string of text that may or may not be "linkified" by the recipient's email client.

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Footers?for details on what links are present in footers for the various message types and how the group settings affect them. You also have the option to insert information of this nature in your group's custom footer (see Admin>Message Formatting>Message Footer).

Hope this helps,
Bruce

This is pretty important, as occasionally, a list member can't get signed in, they forget how to request the link to their Account page (even though it's well described on the Log In page - I have some computer challenged list members), and it would be great if Digest list members would have that link available so they could contact the list mods off the list to request assistance.

The listed subscription address appears to be wrong/redundant. If you have subgroups, the subscription address for the main group is [email protected]. If you do not have subgroups, it would be [email protected], without the subdomain. Putting lrwg in both places is an error.

When in doubt, check the Home page of the group/subgroup in question for the correct subscription address.

Hope this helps,

I have had a potential member who said they've emailed my subscription adress (lrwg+subscribe@lrwg.groups.io) and hasn't? had an automated response (inc in spam folder). I've just tried from both?my Yahoo and gmail accounts and Gmail worked but my Yahoo is yet to get a response. Is there a known issue with it?

It can depend on what the request is.? I've had some answered within a few hours, but others have 'fallen through the cracks' for a few weeks.? I just wait until I hear back since everything else works so well! ;>)? In some cases, the response will be to ask on this group.

Received from Bruce Bowman at 1/30/2019 08:05 PM UTC:

If trying to do this via email, I suspect it might depend on the behavior of the client you are using, and whether it recognizes Apple MOV files as a valid file extension.

Possibly, but I'd hope not. The key to whether or not something is a URL (and should be linkified) should be the part; the extension shouldn't matter. If a recognized extension were required, then links to a website subdirectory with no specific file included wouldn't be linkified.

As far as the link posted by the OP wrapping on the screen... It doesn't wrap when I read the original post on Groups.io or in my home email client. Whether it wraps seems to depend entirely on how wide the screen is.
