I have been chasing this since 25th January, many phone calls and many emails, with no result.
However, as of 7 hours ago, some mail has been trickling in from all 4 .io groups that I belong to, maybe they have reprogrammed their server which was blocking the emails... keeping my fingers crossed.

Hello

Email from my groups.io list to members with an @iinet.net.au address appear to be being blacklisted.? The following bounce message is being sent from iiNet:

I have advised the recipient to contact iiNet to rectify this (but knowing how this can be a nightmare to change, since these blacklists are automated).

Is there anything else to be done?

Re: ((beta)) Site updates #changelog

#40470

I have just stumbled into an effect of this change:

On Sat, 04 Apr 2020 04:58:15 +0100, Mark Fletcher <[email protected]> wrote:

Changes to the site this week:

<snip>

CHANGE: For messages sent to the +owner address, delete any existing To header and replace it with [email protected], to make it more clear where the message was sent.

Contrary to the text above, IMHO, this obscures who the message as sent to!

I answered a message to a +owner address and CC'd the +owner address so everyone would know I had responded. However, the copy to the +owner address gave no clue that I had actually included the original poster in the To header.

This can't be right surely? Can anyone offer a good reason not to request the reversal of the change?

No.? Attached files are separate from the files section.? Attachments are tangentially related to photos within the emailed photos album, but photos and attached photos are also separate sections.

Question about Deleting Attachments

#40466

If I delete a file that's attached to a message, and the file is also saved in the files section of my group, will it also be deleted from the files?
I don't want to inadvertently delete files that are necessary, but I also don't need to save duplicates in two different places.
Thanks!

I have just posted a message to one of my groups with a picture, when I double-click on the pic, it brings it up in Preview. If you right-click or control-click you get a menu one of which is “Open with” there a number of options in there, one of which shoud suffice??

It would be useful to see the message … so I can test what you are trying to do.

About the last question - being brought to a list of groups when the member clicks on a link in a message - I think it is because your member is not logged into and / or deletes her browser cookies if not using a password.

Wouldn't the member be brought to the login screen if that were the case? That's what happens to me if I click on a link when not logged in.

Frances, I make sure that any files in our files folders are uploaded as pdf files as I know many of our members don't have the ability to open docx files. As the devices are new to this member, I have a feeling she has some default settings in her devices that are causing the problems she is experiencing.

Photo attachments can be deleted directly from the Emailed Photos folder. Otherwise, you remove an attachment by editing the corresponding message.

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/7120?for details.

Here's a reply to this part of your member's query:

If the member's computer is up-to-date, then the Groups.io website is too!

How do you post files on your site? As pdf's or as .docx?

If the files are PDF's, they open in the window. If they are .docx's, they are downloaded to the Downloads folder.

On an iPad, PDF's open in the same window and .docx prompt "would you like to download it".

MAC questions

#40458

One of my group members is having some problems with her membership using her IMAC computer and new Ipad. As I use a PC, I am not able to diagnose what is going on with her issues. Can someone here who uses those devices answer her questions?

This is what she is asking:
"Is the site up to date with the latest ?Apple updates? ?I can look at photos, I can bring up the files, but cannot print the patterns on the computer. ?I can no longer bring up the files on the iPad, nor can I enlarge the photos so I can see the details everyone talks about. ?So very frustrating! ?That is on iMac and iPad both.

There are a couple of ways, one manual, one automatic (at the bottom of that page.)

Re: Comcast problems. Is there a **good** Comcast tech support communication method

#40456

I'll give it a try.? Thanks.

In general I've found that the standard communication methods end up talking to a person who has a script ("you must go through this ten step router reset procedure" - that doesn't do anything about the problem) and knows nothing about complicated issues.?
