Thank you, Shal, that is very helpful. The process would be a bit quicker if I could sort or filter on current moderation settings, but with the items per page set to 100 I can go through and update fairly quickly.

You'd both need to be involved.? On your group, go to the member list, click on the line for that member (except on the check box), scroll down to the bottom, and click the Send Confirmation Email button.? The member would then need to click on the link in the email they receive to confirm their email address.? If they don't see it soon after it's sent, they may need to check their spam folder (and mark the message as Not Spam.)

Members are only shown in the Directory if they choose to make their profile available to the group.

Finally, is it worth it?

I certainly don't consider myself an expert, but will offer the following:

I don't think having a subgroup for potential attendees will make any difference.? The crossover members could/would still have access and share the information.

There are several benefits, but also side effects, of having subgroups.? You can read about it on the Wiki page on this group.

Hi,

?I am the owner of a small group of six or seven members. I have a ?problem that maybe you can help with. All but one of the members are receiving email messages from other members.
However one member does not receive any messages to the group. That member is shown n the member list but NOT in the directory. The members name is marked as NC which I assume is not confirmed. The member has not posted any messages to the group.

What should I or the member do to correct this ?

Good Day everybody,

I am an Owner / co-Moderator of a smallish group (<350).? Twice a year some of us meet in different parts of the UK - no problem.
However, there is another similar group (on FB) with a larger membership, some of them have membership jointly with us - no problem.? The problem arises when the joint FB members advise their FB colleagues, the majority are not members of our group, of our meetings and want to come, which we don't really want - unless they join groups.io.

A suggestion was made that we create a sub-group and it is used specifically for our meets with membership of it restricted to potential meeting attendees; my question is
Hope this makes sense?? Any suggestions from this forum would be extremely welcome.

Regards and have a good day--
Peter

CHANGE: In the activity log Actions dropdown, change 'Moderated
message' to 'Sent message requiring approval'.

I raised a query with support when I couldn't find details on the activity log as I'd missed the previous 'Moderated message' option. Mark made this change so that 'Sent message' and 'Sent message requiring approval' now appear next to each other in the Actions dropbown.

BUGFIX: Fix for weekly event summary emails not being sent out if the

LOL!

I did once tell Mark that calendars were the worst sort of "how-hard-could-it-be" trap. Still, this one seem a bit baffling. On beta he said "don't ask".

This fixes the issue I raised and mentioned in /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/32689041

Akshaya January Owners Group admin,

I would like to request a feature where Email Delivery options can be set up on individual topics or hashtags.

When a topic starts to get too busy there are some ways you can control that particular topic. See the drop-menu in the Topics list. You can moderate the topic, lock it, or modify its reply behavior:

The same options are available through the Edit Topic item in the More menu when you are looking at the topic rather than the list. The Reply To overrides may not be entirely effective when members reply by email, depending on the member's email interface.

or Is it possible already to do so by any other means?

As Frances noted, the members themselves can also exert some control over which messages are sent to them (Message Selection). This can be done as part of the Advanced Preferences section of their Subscription page. See Advanced Preferences under Subscription Options in the Help page.

Members can also choose to Mute an individual topic through the Mute This Topic link in the footer of any message in the topic. See the Muting and Following in the Help page as well as Your Friend the Footer in GMF's Wiki.

Nancy,

Right now members receive two messages. This on and one from us.

Weird.

My understanding is that Groups.io only provides a default Welcome notice if your group hasn't created and made active at least one.

That text you quoted does not look familiar, nor in Groups.io's typical style. Are you sure your groups Member Notices list doesn't have two Active notices of type Welcome?

Dave,

I'd rather have these set to "new user moderated" or "normal" (which I
believe would be effectively the same thing, since new user moderation
is the group's default setting... right?).

No.

If you set them to "Use Group Moderation Setting" then their messages will be governed by the "Moderated" checkbox in the Spam Control section of the group's Settings page.

The "New Users Moderated" checkbox (in that same section) causes new members to start with the "Override: new user moderated" privilege, but as you've observed that doesn't apply to members copied over during transfer. Manually setting them to that privilege will provide the same effect. When the set number of messages from that member has been approved the mechanism will change their privilege to "Use Group Moderation Setting".

Is there a way to modify these users settings in bulk?

In the Members list you can checkmark up to a page full of them at a time and choose "Change Moderation" from the Actions menu (at the bottom).

You can change the number of members shown per page by adjusting the "Items Per Page" setting in the Web Site Preferences section of the Preferences page in your Account.

I run a group that was imported from Yahoo, and it seems that I have several hundred members whose post status is set to "moderated." I'd rather have these set to "new user moderated" or "normal" (which I believe would be effectively the same thing, since new user moderation is the group's default setting... right?).

Manually editing several hundred user profiles isn't something that appeals to me very much. Is there a way to modify these users settings in bulk?

Thanks,
Dave

Check out the member notices section of the wiki.?

Julie -- If a reply goes out to the group, the person replied to will receive it also...after moderation.

On that basis I believe Shal's recommendation was "Reply to Group," NOT "Reply to Sender".

My apologies for not responding sooner to these helpful replies.?

I will try setting our Reply to option to "Reply to Sender" and see what happens. I did try this once, but somehow it didn't act as expected so I changed it back.?
We just have some hot topics occasionally, and the replies hit a rapid fire speed, and if something in an earlier reply needs moderation, it's hard to moderate all the following ones. So I'm just trying to slow down a little bit.
Thanks everyone!

Hi Duane

Do you mean adding by sending out our own welcome message (already in place via settings) or is there a place to add to this actual message copied below? Right now members receive two messages. This on and one from us.

If that latter,? I'm not seeing where that is. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Hi All

I am looking to change the auto welcome that I believe comes out from groups.io vs our group. Have made changes to our letter in settings, but not seeing anything making this one possible. Did a quick search here -- not seeing anything.

Can this not be changed?

Thanks

Yes, Go to the Photo Album folder and you will see a BLUE Icon that says "New Album."
