Selecting landing page
I have two questions and I have been unable to find answers.
This involves the busy group I own, which is affiliated with a small national 501(c)(3). Is there a way to set the home page to ALWAYS display messages not topics when I land there? I understand how to reset the page from Topics to Messages but on my next visit it has reverted back to displaying Topics. It seems to me this began happening a week or two ago. Prior to that, if I set the page to Messages, or to 'Home,' it would still display that on my next visit. Can I control this through settings? My other question is, when I used to visit the group the Home page was displayed. To see messages I had to select them from the menu on the left hand side. That has definitely changed in the past week or two. Now when I visit, the landing page is always Topics. Did Groups.io change this or did I do it inadvertently? tommy0431 |

Re: Missing Footer
Ellen,
I am the moderator of the group and usually I can email the membersIn addition to the Plain Text Only checkbox in the group's Settings page that Duane mentioned, If a member posts a message in plain text (like this one of mine), and the group does not have Force HTML Emails checked, then the message will carry the plain text version of the message footer. Though if this has been going on for a week it might be unlikely that all posts in that time happened to be plain text.

All the member has to do is look in spam folder for email.? Then mark any messages from groups.io as not being spam.
Very Simple.

Re: Geesh, thought I was in the Yahoo Forum...anyway...
Duane,
Should/could this sort of inappropriate post also be helped along by adding an appropriate hashtag and setting the hashtag to 'Only Moderators Can Reply', which would also add a layer of blocking in addition to locking the topic? Or would a hashtag be overkill? It might also be useful to make such a post 'Sticky' so that as a Moderator it stays where you won't forget it. And BTW, in such an instance as this where the post in not immediately rejected, do you contact the member who posted it or just let the 'Mod Note' be the alert? Regards, Paul M.

is there a way for me to add lots of subscribers from an existing non-io group, without them needing to take action?Mostly.? You could upgrade the group to Premium for one month, currently $20, to Direct Add everyone.? (That would also get you some other features you may want to use during that time.)? They'd each get an email that they'd been added that would include a link they can use to unsubscribe, which would be the only action they'd need to take, if they want.? After the month, you could use invitations.? You'd still have the option of upgrading for another month later if you have a lot to add.

Re: Link to wiki page
That has just happened to me as well - the addresses have changed. (I have a link on the Home page to take members to "Latest News"; much easier to keep the Wiki updated than the Home page.)
Do you have a link that you click on to take you a specific Wiki page? Or, do you have a "sticky Wiki page" that actually displays at the top of the Gneral Messages page? Andy has indicated (above) how to achieve the "sticky Wiki". Otherwise, just copy the web address of the desired Wiki page and edit the link on your General Messages page. HTH, Brian. |

The best thing the member should do isI think better still is to resume their existing membership, using the link provided in the notice that was sent to them, and then later go to their account and change their email address. This will preserve their membership info (join date, subscription options, role) where re-joining under the new address will not. Note that changing their email address in their account will update all of their group memberships, not just the one they were removed from. If the person can't find the notice to resume their membership, they can still log in to Groups.io and change their email address rather than rejoining. I'm not absolutely certain what happens to the removed status in this case though. I would hope that it would be reset, but possibly that's a trap-door in the system.
