Re: Owner Status Changed #access #groupowner #owner

 

Have you checked whether or not you have a second email address registered?
?
if you are receiving owner emails, you must be an owner or moderator of that group.?

I own and moderate four groups, which I've done successfully with Groups.io for several years, and for 10 years with Yahoo Groups before that (so not a beginner).? All of my groups require moderator approval for messages with an attachment.
?
This morning, I was notifified by e-mail (standard procedure) that a message with an attachment required my attention as owner/moderator.? I clicked the link in the e-mail (as usual), and when I logged in, it no longer shows me as "owner" of the group in question.? A test message sent to the "owner" e-mail address for that group was received by me at the correct e-mail address, so I'm still associated as "owner" in that respect.
?
Further checking: Two of my four groups still show me as "owner".? One group now shows me as a moderator (not owner), and the 4th group (the one where I need to review messages) now shows me as just a standard "member".? All of my four groups still show up under the "My Groups" heading, and "posting" privileges listed for me in the groups are correct.
?
No settings have been changed in any of these groups in the past year, and no other people are owners or moderators of these groups, hence no chance any other person may have done something wrong.
?
Suggestions for corrective action and recovery appreciated.

Re: Owner locked out

 

Remember that a login problem is at the account level, not the group level.?

Pete?


Re: Owner locked out

 

Not really answers I'm afraid, but ...

Are you the sole owner of these groups? Might someone else (another owner)? have mistakenly banned you from the group?

Do make sure that when pasting, or whatever, from your password keeper that you don't have a stray space appearing at the front. I have been caught out by that (a box pre-populated with a single space) once or twice although I don't think it has happened to me on groups.io

best, Malcolm.

How about trying a different browser and then using Email Me A Link To Login if the password doesn't work?

help with emails being truncated

 

Hi,
?
A group I admin has always truncated email addresses since I started 5 years ago- showing them incomplete (the first part of the email shows and the latter half is just "..."). If we put a space somewhere in the email we can get around it.
?
However, just today I noticed another group I'm in doesn't automatically truncate emails addresses. How can I get my group to stop truncating email addresses?
?
Thanks!

If one attempts to go to (not ) one finds that the domain is for sale.

Re: Calendar appointment not being delivered to the members of a subgroup

However, in one of the subgroups, the calendar invite was converted to an .ics file and nobody received the regular meeting request. We've tried to replicate it on other groups, but without success.
When you send a meeting invite to your group, you will be sending a .ics file. Groups.io processes this, adds it to the calendar and sends the meeting invite to the members with a .ics file attachment.? As you have mentioned, this will automatically show in someone's Outlook calendar.? If you reckon nobody received a message, the first place I would check is the Activity Log for the group in question. It will tell you if Groups.io received the message from that member in the first place. If the message was received and processed as you expected, you should see the meeting details on the group calendar.? Note: a member sending a meeting invite to the group will need to have permission to add events to the calendar in order for Groups.io to do that.
?
If a member did not receive a message from Groups.io then the place to check is their Email Delivery History.? If Groups.io successfully delivered the message to the member's mail provider, Groups.io has done its job.? If message delivery has failed for some reason, the details will either be in the Unsuccessful Attempts section (and Groups.io will try again multiple times) or it will be in the Bounces section.

What would be the best way of setting calendar meetings -- from Outlook or from the Group interface?
?
For a basic meeting, it shouldn't matter which way you do it.? If you want to create a meeting/event, limit numbers and have Groups.io manage a waitlist for you, then do it form the Groups.io site.

What if we want to keep anonymous the people that respond to that calendar invite?
Any member that has access to the calendar will be able to see who has responded (assuming it's an RSVP event).? If the email address entered in the Organiser Email field is a member of the group, they will have full control over the calendar event which includes being able to delete it.? It's not possible to have an RSVP event and keep the responses anonymous. If you define an RSVP event and define a question to ask for additional information, that response is only visible to Moderators and the event organiser.

Re: The word "FWD" is being stripped from the topic title, but not the word "FW" - when forwarding an email.

 

Thanks Bruce! I think it's fine, more of a curiosity. Thanks!

No, you really were pretty clear...I just kinda digressed a little. :)

I think "FWD" is removed for the same reason "Re:" is. You can petition for "FW" to be added to the list, if you want; just post a request in t. That's how all the "foreign-language" (I use that phrase with reluctance) reply indicators got added.

Re: The word "FWD" is being stripped from the topic title, but not the word "FW" - when forwarding an email.

 

Thanks Bruce, really appreciate your fast reply!

And sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough! The "FWD" was stripped from the main "topic", not as a reply to a message. So this was a brand new message on the group, started via the group's email address.
?
Interestingly enough, the "FWD" gets removed, but not the "FW". I was just curious to know if there's any reason for that, and if there are any words we should be aware of.
?
At any rate, this is probably a low priority, but nonetheless, curious.
THANKS!

Not sure about this one.

And are there other words that get removed if used in a title?
There are multiple reply indicators (Re: Ref: etc,) - in many languages - that get stripped routinely. Such changes to the subject line would only be noticeable to those receiving Individual Emails. In the message archive - and digests built from it - they simply get threaded into the existing topic, whose subject line was defined at topic creation.
?
I hope that made sense.

Calendar appointment not being delivered to the members of a subgroup

 

Hello,
?
Sorry for opening multiple topics, but we have another issue that is concerning the calendar.

We run a series of subgroups, each of them quite active. We organize monthly calls, and we usually do so by setting up an Outlook calendar, and inviting the "email" address of the subgroup.
This has always worked well, people usually get a calendar invite, and regardless if they accept it or not, it stays in their Outlook - which is great.

However, in one of the subgroups, the calendar invite was converted to an .ics file and nobody received the regular meeting request. We've tried to replicate it on other groups, but without success.

Anyone knows why?

Hello, we just stumbled upon a curiosity. In one of our subgroups, someone forwarded an email to the group email address. However the "FWD" from the title was stripped once it arrived on the platform.
We've tried again with "FW", and that didn't get removed.?
?
Any idea why? And are there other words that get removed if used in a title?

Thanks!


Re: Is Group.io is for sale?

 

Yikes. It will begin the cycle of Yahoo Groups and end up in the dustbin.

[Moderator Note: There is NO evidence of this.]


Re: Is Group.io is for sale?

 

I did a web search for that wording and seems to me it's a lot of different sites that are selling coupons or codes for buying stuff from various different groups on groups IO.
Don't think it's the web site that's for sale just different stuff by different groups from what I saw.
