I have the Remove Other Reply Options box NOT check.? And have it set to Group and Sender

I see the ability to reply to group and the ability to reply to send if it is a reply to an email, but if you access it on the web you only set the option to Reply to Group And Sender

Also, I only know about this topic because I get a digest where it is listed...but If I am on the website and click on Topics the Reply to Sender topic is not listed??

Thank you. That works.

I have reported the bug and suggested that at least it should give a small message saying what to do to get the full toolbar. I will report back if I hear anything helpful / specific.

I see the option of giving the choice of? REPLY TO GROUP? ?REPLY TO SENDER? ? AND? REPLY TO GROUP AND SENDER

BUt I don't see an option to REPLY TO GROUP OR SENDER.

I would think that most of the time you would want to reply to group? but once in a while you want to Reply to Sender but not to both.

I'm sorry but I don't see such an icon. Is there a setting somewhere else that I need to change first?

Here's what I see in the editor for creating new Wiki pages:

Chris,


I might add that if you were to make any such request you would find
that it would be vigorously opposed by most if not even all of the
other members of that group,

Perhaps so, despite the fact that the members there have been instructed not to post negatively.

Su,

Is this change in the email address for the main list required?

Yes.

Though you can name it something other than "main".

What happens if people continue to post to the current address
([email protected])?

The original primary group email address and web page address continue to work.

I don't want the 800+ members to have to change their post / etc.
email addresses just for the dozen or so in the subgroup, ...

That should happen "organically". That is, messages posted after the change will have the new addresses in them, and the new email address will be used for Reply (assuming the group setting is to reply to the group). So eventually the members' auto-fill will pick up the new address and the members may update their address books / bookmarks.

Su,

I don't see an option to add a table into a Wiki page.

There isn't one.

I also don't see an option to edit the html code directly.

That's provided by the Source code button, < > icon. That's the same as in message posts:

I would like to create a subgroup for a small set of individuals in my main group. However, I got scared off because the page says:

Let's say you're creating a subgroup called sg. After you create the subgroup, your parent group will now be [email protected] and your subgroup will be called [email protected]. You can change main to any other name you wish.

Is this change in the email address for the main list required? What happens if people continue to post to the current address ([email protected])?

I don't want the 800+ members to have to change their post / etc. email addresses just for the dozen or so in the subgroup, so if this change is unavoidable, I will probably make my own subgroup list using my email client instead.

Thanks for your help.

Can I add a table? If so, how?

Thank you,
Su

I sent an email like yours to the member and gave her a week to respond. That was something like the third time I had reached out to her.

So when no response happened after that week, I removed her and send a message informing her that she had been declined because she didn't provide the needed info. Also saying that she could request to join again if she wanted to in the future.

Thanks for your help.
Su

Frances,

No I did not. I will take a look.

I already deleted the subgroup but I will refer to it the next time I want to create a new subgroup.

Thanks

Sheryl

Hi Chris,?

The more I tried adjusting the settings for the subgroup which near the end started driving me crazy and was wondering if it could even be done.

So before I completely gave up I decided to post this question on this forum to make sure. I didn't want to keep going down this path if it wasn't possible.?

I won't be making this request and will figure out an alternative solution and probably delete the subgroup since it won't work the way I want it.

Thank you so much for your help.

Sheryl

I cannot claim to be an expert on Subgroups but there is one point that I have checked on a test group run by another member of this forum, just to be certain that Subgroup behaviour is the same as "main group".?

You want non - subscribers to be able to post unmoderated, but the bit of guidance under the Allow Non Subscribers to Post checkbox is perfectly clear:?

Posts by non-subscribers will be moderated, instead of rejected. (my bold / underlining)

What you are looking for is simply not there to be had, however much you might wish it to be. You could always ask Mark to consider the option (not here, but on the beta group) but I would very much doubt if he would consider providing it; the requirement for moderation of non - subscibers is there for a reason that ought to be obvious. I might add that if you were to make any such request you would find that it would be vigorously opposed by most if not even all of the other members of that group, and I doubt if you would find much, if any, support for it here (GMF) either.

Allowing non - subscibers to post unmoderated could / would be like opening Pandora's Box, or a can of worms if you prefer!

Hi. I'm new to groups.io. I've been using it for about a month and everything was working fine until I tried to create a subgroup.

I tried searching for answers and switched some settings but it's still not working like I expected.

This is what I want to do not sure if it's possible or use the no-reply option instead.

• The main group is private and requires subscription
• In the subgroup, non-subscribers are allowed to post without requiring message approval. Every time I try to send an email from a different address, it says message requires approval which I don't want

Basically I want the 2 groups separated. The primary group is for my team's communications and the subgroup is more of a contact us allowing non-subscribers to send messages to us and then we reply.

Is the no-reply option better under Integrations a better solution than using the subgroup? Sorry if my explanation is a little confusing.

These are my settings:

Main:

Visibility Group:

• Group listed in directed private messages
• Membership is restricted

Message Policies:

• Nothing selected

Subgroup:

Visibility

• Group not listed in Parent group, messages viewable by subgroup members

Message Policies:

• Allow Non-subscribers to post (requires message approval but don't want them to be approved)
• Allow Parent subscribers to post

I've tried adjusting settings on both groups and it's still not right.?Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sheryl

Did you ever get a resolution ? Our footer shows "View/Reply Online (#1102)?|?Reply To Group?|?Reply To Sender?|?Mute This Topic?|?New Topic" for some emails but not for others. I see the links in initial posts to the listserve and in replies, but also missing in some of each. Very odd.

Jud,

Wouldn't it be better if when someone applies for membership without
using an invite, and there is a pending invite for that same person,
the request be handled the same way it is for a invite acceptance?

Not exactly.

Their response to an invitation does two things: 1) it confirms their email address, and 2) it joins them to your group membership.

An emailed +subscribe command does not satisfy (1) because the sender may have spoofed the From address. Likewise, clicking on the web "Request" button, if not logged into the site, and then typing that email address into the site could be done by someone other than the owner of that email address.

So that leaves only the case of a web-based request, made by someone logged into Groups.io with a confirmed email address. That might be a minority of the cases you see.

In the other cases it would be a bad idea to consider the pending invitation as "accepted" - that might "lock out" the actual owner of that email address (until you send them a fresh invitation). Even if it doesn't they would still need to actually accept the invitation, or respond to an address confirmation request, before NC status could be removed from their membership. Or, if your group is Premium you could manually confirm their address.

See this wiki article for more information about NC status of members:

Darren,

Can I delete the Primary group or replace it with one of the
Subgroups?

No.

You can delete the subgroup, but there is at present no ability to transfer content from the subgroup to the primary group (or vice-versa, or between subgroups), so you'd be abandoning that content.

I set up the primary Group to be used for non-members to communicate
with the club but I am finding that the primary group is not being
used very often. ... The Primary Group seems to cause a lot of
confusion for our members who sometimes post to the Primary instead of
the Subgroup.

What name did you give the Primary group, or did you leave it as the default "main"?

If you left it as "main" that probably doesn't give your members enough guidance. Consider renaming it to something that fits its purpose. "Front-Porch" might be a bit too long, maybe just "Porch", but you get the idea. A name that will suggest to members that it is not the actual "clubhouse".

The other option is to just cave in to usage, and start using the primary group for club communication, perhaps renaming the subgroup to "archive" or something to indicate that it is no longer "the" place.

Be aware though that any of these renames will have some impact on members (and interested non-members) in that if they've made bookmarks or address book entries those will need to be updated. Likewise their browser/email interface auto-complete functions will retain the old names for a while. As well as replies to prior messages.

And of course links on your website and social media.
