This error suggest that the mail server on the recipient's end is temporarily down. There is nothing you (or groups.io) can do to fix it.

When you select Moderator for someone's role, on the list of permissions the box for Edit Archives will allow them to delete posts (among other things.)

I am not seeing a way to allow moderators to delete messages. Can this be done?

You can edit the section marked Customized Message on the Invite page.? The boiler plate before/after the custom message is not editable.

Jed,

When someone sends a private reply to a message, is there any way to
make that reply visible on the message thread on the website (only for
the sender and receiver, of course)?

I don't believe so. I think "private" might be better described as "offlist" or "direct". Nor is it logged anywhere.

As a sender, if you want to keep a copy you need to use the BCC Me checkbox.

Apologies if this has been addressed before, I searched but could not find an answer on this forum or the beta forum.? When someone sends a private reply to a message, is there any way to make that reply visible on the message thread on the website (only for the sender and receiver, of course)?? One of our moderators created a hashtag with the option "Reply to sender".? She has gotten email replies, but those replies are not visible on the website, neither when looking at the topic, nor the hashtag.? I've gone back and noticed the same thing for private replies to messages I've sent out, that they do not seem to be present anywhere in the archive.? Not a huge deal, but was just wondering if I missed anything. Thanks.

McAfee did not like it, and it screwed up my Firefox Home page.
Now, how do I get rid of it?

When I first started our group Chat was activated, but I turned it off so our members could get used to the new group interface first. Before I turned it off one member tried to use it, and I only found that out by accident several days later while exploring our group functions. Back in the day when I used to use Y chat I had a few favorite chat rooms, and I could see how many people were in them before joining in. These rooms appeared to be open 24 hours a day with some level of activity, mainly because there were so many people that liked these rooms. I haven't used chat in a couple decades now, and I think it might not be as popular as it used to be, because there are other, more interactive ways for people to get together. I think if I was going to use chat in our group now, I would first tell the group in advance through a post, that on a certain day, at a certain time of the day, a chat room would be open to talk about anything or something specific they might want to chat about. Chatting fell out of favor for me after a while, for the same reason I don't text with people today. I like to actually talk to people, not type to them in real time.

Shal thanks. I will think if I want to use gmail. I don't care for it really. I have it set up on my yahoo account where my gmail goes there also. If it will stop the letters going into spam I might give it a try. I have always liked my yahoo email the best. That could be changing. ? Anita

Dear all,

Today I received a message from the support team: the problem was caused by a bug and this bug has been smashed.

Chat entries are not sent via email, they only show up within the chat.? I suspect the email you got was a reply to the announcement that a chat was started.? To participate, select Chats from the left menu on the group, then select the chat you want to join.? There's a box at the bottom for entering the information to post, then click Send on the right to add it to the chat box for all to see.? It's not fancy and could use some additions/changes, but works.

I was able to start a chat no problem. One of my members responded to the chat and I was able to read her response via my email but when I visit the group itself I only see my initial post.

If you received an email from someone it's because that person posted an email. That person did not respond using the chat function.

I see that two additional members have joined but have no idea if they have responded as I didn't receive an email and cannot view the chat in its entirety. I see absolutely nothing to click on to open up the chat.

If you actually succeeded in creating a chat, it should be listed among the open chats in your group. It is also entirely possible to join a chat and not post to it...and people often do that, just to see what's going on.

Is the chat feature ready yet? If so would you consider putting a more obvious button so that one could view responses? Will all responses go to my email? Is email the only way to read the chat?

Chat activity does not generate any emails. One must log into groups.io to initiate one, post to it, and return to monitor it online periodically.?

You seem to be expecting to receive notifications like Facebook. Personally, I would not want groups.io to send me an email every time someone posts to the chat. But if that's the expected behavior, it is already available using normal group posts in conjunction with the "mute" and "follow" functions.

Hope this helps,
Bruce?

kesaiserris,

I haven't used it, but others in GMF have posted about it.
/g/GroupManagersForum/search?q=chat

If so would you consider putting a more obvious button so that one
could view responses?

GMF is a user-to-user group, no one in GMF works for Groups.io. The official "suggestion box" is the beta group:


But I would suggest waiting a bit to see if anyone here replies with more knowledge of chat in Groups.io. The official Help page has nothing about Chat yet, so a member here has started some notes in our Wiki. I don't think it answers your questions, but it is a start.

I have recently started a group at Groupsio

David,

They do say you learn something new every day, so you have. :-)

Indeed. And I'm sharing the knowledge:

(click "Show message history" if the result table is initially hidden)

I have been using this for years in Yahoo, and it is extremely useful
for saving the admin from having to forward lots of replies to someone
else.

Remember this is an announcement group, as that may make a difference.

An interesting thing is that I didn't find this behavior in the Y!Groups equivalent of an Announcement Group - one with the Who can post? row in the Access Settings table set to Moderators Only.

But I did find that behavior, and more, in Discussion groups. Refer to the table in the cited message. Very surprising.

In the original Yahoo Groups, the sender's e-mail address was in the
From: header and there was no Reply-To: header.

From some old messages tucked away in my email folders I can confirm that for groups with their Reply To set to Sender. The groups in question allowed member posting.

I didn't find any examples of Reply-To being present (pre-DMARC) in those groups, but I don't think that's meaningful - yours isn't a use case that would be particularly likely in a Freecycle-style group (the only ones I was in that were set Reply To Sender).
