Duane is correct, you need to disable public archives. Concern about the RSS feed doesn't make a lot of sense when anyone with a browser can read your group's messages.

Go to Admin->Settings->Privacy->Visibility and select one of the "private messages" options. Note this is a one-time decision...once you make the message archive private there is no going back.

Hope this helps,

Donna,

?Sent this in this morning and it never appeared so will try again.

?You weren't yet a member. It bounced (did not arrive in the pending queue).

?

Is there any way to eliminate the Feed button for my group?

?It should only appear if your group has selected publicly viewable messages in the Visibility control in the Privacy section of your group's Settings page.

?If you've selected ?private messages and you still see the Feed link (RSS) you should report that to [email protected] as a bug.

I logged out and double checked if the Feed button was still there on my home page for someone who doesn't have a account and it is. It's a security issue for me.

?How about for the Messages page itself? That's the primary thing controlled by the Visibility setting, the RSS feed is supposed to be tied to that.

Iframes, PHP/java scripts and similar constructs can be used by spammers as a vector to spread malware. On that basis they are stripped from groups.io messages. Your best bet is to just provide a link; in this case, to?? ?Of course, it will be up to the recipient to click on it.

I believe iframe is one of the html keywords that is disabled/stripped, so you can't embed it.? The best you can do is furnish a link to the video.

Is there any way to eliminate the Feed button for my group? I'm trying to control who can download/ read messages and basically anyone can subscribe to the RSS feed and download my messages without being part of the group. I logged out and double checked if the Feed button was still there on my home page for someone who doesn't have a groups.io account and it is. It's a security issue for me.

Thanks for any help you can provide

Why don't you set up to receive the Summary and then, you can look at the topics in it to see if you're interested.

How can I embed a video from Youtube or vimeo in a message?

for example, here is the embed code from vimeo

<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/273206092" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> <p><a href="https://vimeo.com/273206092">Shadow X, IMG_3270</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/user19534726">Slackwater_SF</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>

Im smart enough to figure out most things on here.
Although most of the time im on a "mobile" <achk> browser and you CANNOT always easily find EVERYTHING.
Getting dozens of emails daily about stuff I wasnt interested in was quite annoying.

Paul,

Is there some way to toggle the option on or off?? I couldn't locate one anywhere.? (Or maybe I am just having Moderator/User blindness!)

?Not yet, it is still in testing.

Actually, I'm not sure if the intent is to provide a toggle, or just have the feature be the normal Topic display when seen by moderators (those with the Edit Archive permission).

Re: Sending Invite

#10292

Don,

I customized the Invitation?message in my groups as follows prior to initiating?the actual transfer of the Yahoo groups to Groups.io:

?The fundamental concern is that you don't need to send an invitation to your Y!Group members, they will be copied into your group during the transfer (except those that are Bouncing) - unless you uncheck the box to transfer members.

The transfer process sends a system-supplied "You've been added" notice plus your group's Welcome member notice to all of the copied addresses. You can opt out of either or both of those, but I don't advise it. GMF's wiki page has some advice and examples of tailoring your group's Welcome notice for the transfer.

I am tempted to ask why. It is always worth keeping an eye on things that others are asking about, because sometimes there are topics that can be something that is of value to you.?

You can manage the email traffic by setting GMF to "No emails" and simply using web access from time to time.

Did I say anything incorrect in the customization?

The preview in the "Invitation To Be Sent" box is live - type into the "Customize Message" box and watch it update accordingly.

Tip: I like using horizontal lines at the top and bottom of my custom section to make it more distinct from the boilerplate. Draws the eyes to it. You'll find the horizontal line button on the Advanced toolbar, which you need to open with the button on the right of the normal toolbar.

Hello Shal, 

I went to the link provided and tried this feature and it looks to be going to be a really convenient option.  It's an obvious time-saver, but . . .

Is there some way to toggle the option on or off?  I couldn't locate one anywhere.  (Or maybe I am just having Moderator/User blindness!)
