Re: Files button inactive

Marilyn McClain
 

I am logged in. I can see the 'Member' button on the other groups I belong to. I am the one who transferred the group from Yahoo. And it worked for a few months. Is there anyone out there that can look at the account and see what happened. I see no option for contacting the originator of iogroups.

If you're not seeing the Admin option, there are several possible reasons:
1. You're not a moderator/owner.
2. You're not logged in at all.
3. You're not logged in with your owner/moderator account.

You really need to let us know what you've looked at, whether you've 'talked' to the other owners/moderators of the group, and all the other things that have been mentioned.

Re: People disappearing from group?

 

Email addresses are rewritten to make them compatible with services that use DMARC.

Since the archives of this group are public, email addresses included in posts are fig-leafed to prevent some problems.? If you need to include one, it's best to use a dummy address, then replace the @ with [at] so the details are available.

That is the point. There is NO 'Member' listing in the left side bar. No 'Admin'...The 'Member' is in all my other groups but not this one.

Our account worked when first transferred and then the 'Member' side button disappeared and the file button went inactive. Please fix this or we are gone!
I greatly doubt if any of the other members of this forum took all that kindly to what amounted to a misdirected rant. As Shal subsequently stated "Reported it where? If only to GMF then you're barking up the wrong tree. GMF is a user-to-user community."

"Please fix this?" In all probability the problem lies with with something that either you or your Group Owner or another group moderator has done; have you by any chance discussed it with them, and if not why not?

Both of the symptoms you mentioned may well be functions of Settings within your group; go to the Settings tab (a subset of Admin) and scroll down to Privacy - Member Directory; check what it is set to and change as necessary.

Then scroll down further to Features, and within that Files - Permissions; check what it is set to and change as required.

FWIW you mentioned "It has been months since I reported it". You only joined this group about 6 weeks ago and while your two previous posts were answered there was no feedback from you whatsoever. As Shal asked... Reported it where?

Please report back with what you found when checking the Settings suggested above.

Re: People disappearing from group?

 

Curiously, normal messages sent to the group arrive with the From: address set to the sender's e-mail, eg, fred@...

The one who disappeared from the subgroup sent a message as a test, and it was delivered to the subgroup, but with a from address of fred@.... In what circumstances is the address rewritten like this? It may be a clue.


Re: #UserName #username

 

Hi Alex,

This sounds like a suggestion you should make in Beta ([email protected]). Usually Mark (Owner/Developer of Groups.io) will reply and/or add this to the TODO list. Make sure you add the Hashtag #suggestion to the subject line, to get his attention.

Re: Managing main group

 

Hi Spencer,

You could make the Main group an Announcement Only group, by changing the settings so that only moderators can post and these posts are not moderated. The subgroups can be set as you like (Announcement Only for Newsletters, perhaps) or the more normal settings for a discussion sub-group. The members will soon find they cannot post to the Main (Default) group. The Main group can be used for any communication that needs to go to everyone. You would have to switch off the No Email delivery option at the Main group level for this to work, so all members would receive these general communications (from the moderators) via email.

Another way to achieve this is to make the Main group your Discussion group and do not have a General Discussion sub-group. Then you can setup each of the sub-groups as Announcement Only (e.g. Newsletters) or as a Discussion type group. This is how you normally use Groups.io, as you want every member to be in the General Discussion sub-group. This would be my preferred setup, otherwise you are going against the design of Groups.io, where everyone must join the Main group? before joining a sub-group, and the sub groups are for special interests, with subsets of the membership. If you do have some special requirement that means not everyone wants to be in the General Discussion group, then make it a sub-group and follow the recommendation in my first paragraph.

Regards
John Russell


People disappearing from group?

 

I sent a message out to a subgroup a little while ago, and two people did not get it. When I looked, one seems to have disappeared from the subgroup, while the other had disappeared from the main group, and therefore the subgroup I suppose.

Both claim not to have unsubscribed, and there is nothing in the Activity log to show them unsubscribing. Both of them have successfuly sent messages to the subgroup on 24 August.

Is it possible that they have somehow unsubscribed and the Activity log does not report unsubscribes? Otherwise I am stumped!


Re: Help with Weird HTML Language from my iPhone/iPad Created URL in my Sig Line

 

Frances, my sig line is as you see, below.? This is how it should display on Groups.io.? I'm replying from laptop.? I am able to create a URL in my sig line with my email program.? However, with my iPhone, or my iPad, in order to create a URL that has text assigned to a web page, I have to use an after market program.? I used Cult of Mac to do that years ago.? It's been in my signature on both my iPhone and my iPad for several years.? For some inexplicable reason in the last couple of days, if I reply to a Groups.io email from my iPhone/iPad, and reply from my email program, Groups.io is displaying all the HTML.? It is only happening when I reply to a Groups.io email.? It isn't happening that I can tell, when I reply to anyone else from my iPhone or iPad.? So, that leads me to believe that Groups.io is displaying the HTML behind my sig line for some reason, all of a sudden.?? I'm not "entering it".? It is part of my email signature I've set up on both my iPhone and my iPad.? So, it "comes along with" when I reply to a groups.io email using my email program, from my iPhone or iPad.?

Re: #UserName #username

 

So if it's non-functional and not needed site wide, can it not be removed site-wide, or at least not generate reminders that the profile is not complete without it?

Re: #UserName #username

Thanks for the prompt reply, Duane. I had guessed that this field was vestigial.

But although you pointed me to the right place (where I had created the User Name), I had been back there myself, to no avail.

But I now realize there is a profile for every group I'm in, as well as an Account profile. I incorrectly assumed I should take it out in the same place I put it in. It came out easily in my Account Profile.

Thanks!

Alex

Re: Help with Weird HTML Language from my iPhone/iPad Created URL in my Sig Line

 

And I just tested it again with your Wordpress URL. Fine too.

Frances


Re: Help with Weird HTML Language from my iPhone/iPad Created URL in my Sig Line

 

Patty, I just tested it - same URL - on my test site and my iPhone and MacBook. No problem.

Perhaps you are entering it incorrectly on Groups.io

Go to Groups.io.
Go to Subscriptions (left side)
Scroll down to
- Use Signature For Web Posting
- Use Signature For Email Posting
Tick the ones you want.
Below that there is a text box.?
You will need to use the URL tool for the Cult of Mac URL. I just copied it from the website.

Scroll down and Save!

Hope this is the problem.

Frances


Re: Help with Weird HTML Language from my iPhone/iPad Created URL in my Sig Line

 

Nope.? This has never happened before, Duane.? And, it ONLY happens with groups.io.? I send plenty of emails from my iPhone/iPad to other people/forums and this does not happen.

Help with Weird HTML Language from my iPhone/iPad Created URL in my Sig Line

 

Ugh.? This just started happening.? Apparently, groups.io is trying to decipher the HTML with my created signature line from my iPhone/iPad.? In order to create a URL in your sig line on an iPhone or iPad, you have to use some other named URL program to create one.? So, my signature line is this:

Patty Sliney

On my iPhone and my iPad.? But, groups.io is adding all the below HTML language all of a sudden (you can see I used Cult of Mac to create the link below my name):

<b>Your Name</b><hr />
<a href=""
>Cult of Mac</a>
Read more at?b>Patty Sliney

<b>Your Name</b><hr />
<a href=""
>Cult of Mac</a>
Read more at?

<b>Your Name</b><hr />
<a href=""
>Cult of Mac</a>
Read more at?

<b>Your Name</b><hr />
<a href=""
>Cult of Mac</a>
Read more at?

So, should I post this on the Best Group instead?? Going to have to remove my created URL from my iPhone/iPad I guess, as I often will reply to list messages in my email program, from my iPhone/iPad. ?

Re: How can I add a Constant Contact list to groups.io?

 

What's the exact error you're getting?? That might help us figure it out.? I suspect you can't do it though.

Reply to an email integration mail #bug #reply-to-group

thierry laporte
 

Hello,

I manage a group using groups.io. This group is an importation from yahoo groups where i used to manage sevral groups.
In this group, I've created a email integration address. All of this is OK.

Now, I send an email using this "integration address" to my list (from an email address that is not a subscriber of my list). The mail is correctly received by all the subscribers. That's OK

If I make a "reply all" to that mail I've receive, It fills the recipients of that reply. And, It adds an mail address as recipient that ends with : "groups.io@%!s". Obviously it"s an non valid email address.
How to fix that ? is it a bug ?, an error I've made while configuring my list ?

I tested this with both settings of my list : "reply to list only" or "reply to list and sender", and both have the same behaviour.
I've tested with two different lists, and i's the same.

Can someone help me ?

Thanks in advance


#UserName #username

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi! I'm new to this; just started my private group yesterday (to escape Yahoo!)

Question 1: What is the use/benefit of the User Name?? I was system-chided when I failed to enter one, so I did. It wouldn't let me use my real name, saying it was already in use, so this must be system-wide and not just in my group.?? Is it perhaps a Chat handle? There's nothing in Help to clarify its use.

Question 2: How can I change/delete my User Name, which appears to be a permanent part of my profile and directory entry?

Thanks,

Alex @Perk
