Re: Reply to Sender in Daily Summary #featurerequest

 

Thank you, Duane.?

When our members who signed up for the Daily Summary are replying online, to send their reply only to the sender, they have to click a button called ?¡°private¡±.? Our members who receive the Digest click a link called ¡°reply to sender¡±.?

Can the ¡°private¡± button be re-named to ¡°reply to sender¡± instead of ¡°private¡±? Same button, but new name??

Nancy

It seems to me that replying from the Summary sort of defeats the purpose.? You have to go online to read the content of the messages anyway, so why not reply there?

Regardless, to make a #suggestion that site management will see, you'd have to post it on the .

Reply to Sender in Daily Summary #featurerequest

Nancy Siegel
 

In Digest mode, all one needs to do is to click on ¡°Reply to Sender¡± at the bottom of a message to send a reply only to the sender.

In Daily Summary mode, it¡¯s more complicated. First, one must click ¡°Reply¡±, then type the reply in the space provided, and then click ¡°Private¡±. It¡¯s not intuitive to many of the members of our group, so we are continually having to explain it.

Is there any way to re-label the ¡°Private¡± button as ¡°Reply to Sender¡± in Daily Summary mode?

Thank you in advance for any assistance with this.

Kevin -- The Google Drive integration has been "temporarily" disabled for over a year (ref:?). You might want to post a message in that group asking what the status is.

Google Drive Integration #integration #google

 

I am a bit new to managing a groups.io group.? One of the features I was very interested in was the integration with a google drive.? I finally go to do it and I get the message "Unfortunately, due to changes with Google's APIs, we've had to temporarily disable Google Drive authentication."? I can't seem to be able to find if mentioned except in passing.? Is this truly temporary and anyone have any idea when this will be resolved?

Thanks-that did it, though now I wonder what "Mute" means in relation to polls?

There are a couple of places that you can read about Polls, /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/working-with-polls?single=true and /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/8809? Those should answer any questions, but come back if they don't.

Paul Gohdes
 

I created my first poll. How do I find the results?? I must have done something wrong in setting it up because a poll site remains empty though I know many have answered it.

Re: Mute vs Follow #hashtags

 

Avraham,

However, in the "advanced preferences" section, there is reference to
"following" hashtags - is there a way follow a hashtag, as opposed to
muting those you don't want?
Yes.

The default Message Selection "All Messages" sets you to receive all but those you mute.

The Message Selection "Following Only" sets you to receive only those you follow. With the optional modifiers of "First Message Also" and "Auto Follow Replies".

Mute and Follow there refer to both Topic and Hashtag based.

Combining Following Only with Auto Follow Replies gives one an email setup similar to many web-based message boards. You receive email copies of postings only when you choose to follow a topic, or when you start or reply in a topic.

Adding First Message Also to that gives you a way to learn of potentially interesting new topics/hashtags to follow without having to go to the web site, and without seeing all the replies to the uninteresting ones.

Re: First following with summary

 

mdivine,

But would be nice to be able to have combo with summary
each morning, and first posts as individual.
I work-around that lack by using a second membership in the group (a second subscribed email address). The downside of course is that the Summaries don't land in the same Inbox as the individual messages. Unless you forward them or use some other technique to combine them.

Mute vs Follow #hashtags

 

Hi,
Seeking some help with regards to muting hashtags vs following them.
We have members who are very specific in their interests, and may only wish to receive messages associated with a certain hashtag.
If this is the case, we instruct them to visit the "hashtags' section, and mute any hashtag they are not interested in.

However, in the "advanced preferences" section, there is reference to "following" hashtags - is there a way follow a hashtag, as opposed to muting those you don't want?

Thanks in advance.
Avraham

Have you checked your Activity Log to see if there are any details there?

The only experience I've had when messages could not be approved was when they came via an email integration (and were held for moderation) and the sender had also copied them direct to the group so they were already released to members. I did raise but have had no update since.

Can't release messages

 
Edited

There was some groups maintenance earlier today.
Minutes before?that I approved three messages.

The three messages never got released.
After the maintenance those three messages were still there plus two new ones.

I successfully approved the two new ones but the three previous ones won't shift.

Any ideas??

Added: just a thought, when I first approved the messages perhaps there was an entry made somewhere within groups.io that these messages were finalized.

So perhaps now groups.io doesn't realize that the messages are still in limbo.? In which case there is a bug.

Makes sense. But would be nice to be able to have combo with summary each morning, and first posts as individual.

thanks for helping me get it right.

Re: Text size

 

I have the same problem, including with some members of this group. I think
it's when they send from an email client, not the groups.io web site, and send
in HTML with no plain text option. Makes their posts very difficult to read,
combining tiny text with poor contrast.
