Can anyone visualize a way to do this so that it is easier for me to read as moderator and there is at least a modicum of consistency in the posts? The first thing you should do is create a Guideline/Rule of the format to be used, possibly including an example.? That will give you something to enforce.

You could also select the option at Admin > Preferences > Settings - Message Formatting to Normalize HTML Emails.? As noted, that removes all the fonts and colors.

If you check the "Normalize HTML Emails" box in group settings, it will strip out most such nonsense. ?/newhelpcenter/manual/ownersmanual/groupsettings/settings_msg_formatting.htm?

[We have this turned on here in GMF, for much the same reason.]
...some forget to put in the date, many fail to put in their full name.? I don't think we can help you with that. The only thing you can do is moderate the group and reject any posts with missing information.

Hope this helps,

Hi everyone!
?
Thanks for responding to my question.
?
I just want to report that I figured it out! I removed the member from the subgroup, added them back, and the display name from the main group cascaded to the subgroup.

Cheers!

why would it crop up now after all this time? It's not unusual for Google to make changes while trying to 'improve' things for you, as well as give them access to more of your information.? We may hear more complaints about this if that's what happened.

Did you click Add Event & Invite Group on some of the events?? I'm assuming here that you added them online.

Re: Calendar Reminders
A lot of us use Gmail so I don¡¯t think that is the issue - plus why would it crop up now after all this time?
It¡¯s just strange. ?

Re: Welcome message links not working
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMalcolm, thank you. I suspected the problem resulted from the name change. I¡¯m, obviously, new to this. I¡¯ve been able to change the message prefix, but don¡¯t know how to change the link targets. I¡¯ll check with someone better versed than I. Meanwhile, your help is greatly appreciated. Leah ?

Dano ____________________________ I load all the trainings for my group the month before they happen onto the calendar and set a 2 day Reminder. This has worked just fine for months. Today a some (but not all) of the events appeared that I had just inputted went out to the members of my group - weeks ahead of time. The odd thing was that they weren¡¯t sent by Groups.io (as far as I could see) but by Google wanting to know if we wanted to put these on the Google calendar. Can Google Hijack Group.io like that?
