In Admin, Settings, Message Formatting, change the subject tag. That should do it!

Re: Monthly reminder member notice sent "from" group address

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I created a hashtag with the "Reply To" option set to reply to owner. I want members to be able to reply to the person(s) responsible for the monthly reminder message, and locking the message would prevent that.

This hashtag approach is clever, but it feels like an awkward workaround to me. Only owners/moderators can set up member notices in the first place, so why not set the "from" address accordingly. I would be interested to hear why the monthly reminder feature was designed to be sent this way.

Thanks again,

Put a hashtag on it with the "Locked" and "Use by Mods Only" flags set.

Is there a member notices setting I've overlooked?
You can set up a member notice of type Group Guidelines that goes out every month on the 1st. Be sure to make it Active.

However, if you want to keep people from replying to it, you'll still have to set these same flags on the #guidelines hashtag.

Hope this helps,

Having looked at your group...
... a bit further I found a thread suggesting that either (a) there is another person with the same name as you in the group, or (b) you have a second membership yourself.

I suspect that one of those memberships is an owner, and the other is an ordinary member, in which case the responses from Frances and Duane apply.

The Directory is an index of member profiles.
?
A member's profile will be visible in the Directory only if:
?
-- they create a profile and choose to share it (Subscription->Group Profile->Edit Group Profile->Profile Privacy*), and,
-- group settings under Privacy->Member Directory is set to Members, OR
-- the person viewing the Directory has Owner/Moderator privileges.?
?
Accounts that are bouncing (B status badge), or whose email address is not confirmed (NC), also do not appear in the Directory.
?
The content of a member's profile can be anything they choose to put in it. Group Owners and Moderators cannot edit user profiles.

Apart from the suggestions already made, can I query what you mean by "can't get in"?

Having looked at your group I see that you posted on it a couple of hours ago. Have you "lost ownership" since then?

You're either logged in with the wrong account or a co-owner has removed you.

When you say, "can't get in", I assume you mean that you can't go to your group homepage on .

Check that you are using the correct email address. Look at the footer of a recent email from your group and use that.
Check also in your spam if you aren't receiving any mail from

Have you checked the Billing page?? I'm not sure, but I don't think you can delete it until the group has reverted.? You should be able to delete it eventually though.? Back in January of 2017, Mark said, "Also added the ability to delete your current credit card without adding a new credit card.", ? If not, you'll need to contact support.

Perhaps not would be closer to the mark. Just read them on - line from the web UI; there is no "resend" capability.

Re: Your Groups.io Account Is Bouncing

 

Hi Steve

If you know somebody in the same group just ask them to forward any posts between date A & B

Some subscribers delete unwanted posts, but some save every one (or don't empty their trash folder)

Having done so, at that point you can go to each group's message archive and
catch up with what you've missed online. Subsequent posts will be delivered to
you via email as before.
