We set up a separate restricted group for Monderators and our Mentors.
I think subgroups may get too confusing for those less experienced and they might put something meant for a subgroup into the main group.
A separate main group is free and totally avoids that possibility.
Besides, you can experiment with that group.

The only thing I can think of would be to check the group to make sure your posts aren't being stored as drafts (it will show a number on the left menu next to Drafts.)? If they are, either you didn't hit Send or there was a glitch that saved them as drafts.

We use a subgroup for our moderators and keep our private files there.

In my old YG group I used a similar system: I would send a message to the group and then point members to a folder in the Files Section where I stored all materials that I could not send as an attachment. It was a tortuous way and after a while I gave up.

I'll follow your suggestion and mention this possible new feature in Beta.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I posted them from the group website. When I later sent one by email it went through. The ones posted from the site never did.

I'd like to be able to send occasional attachments, but I don't want all members to have the same permission.

There is currently no such setting, but it sounds like a good suggestion for beta.?

I have set my group to "moderate attachments", but this is a bit of a nuisance because I have to approve my own attachments.

Having Links mixed in with our Interactive Databases is a total mess and going to cause a lot of our elderly not so computer savvie members a lot of anguish.

There is currently no way to create a "new" menu entry at left for your Links.?Groups.io is not a Yahoo clone, and there are a number of instances where your subscribers will have to learn to click somewhere else.

Probably your best option is to put the links in a wiki page and make that page "sticky" so it also appears at the top of the Messages section. Option #2 is to just insert them into your home page. Option #3 is to create a links Member Notice and send that to your subscribers periodically.

Hope this helps,

I have a file which only the moderators need to access. ?Is there a way to "hide" a file so it can only be seen by the moderators? ?

Peace,

Have you simply tried asking them to stop it? It might help; after all to be an Owner or Moderator means having to accept responsibility for keeping order, and sometimes that means taking a firm line. Persistent offenders can always have the prospect of moderation being applied.

On another level do you allow members to create hashtags or do you limit that capability to Moderators? If the former, then I would suggest considering the latter, followed by a clear out of some or all of the sillier ones that members have created. I suspect (but have no means of proving) that there is a "maximum sensible number" of meaningful hashtags, but I also suspect that the actual number may be different for different groups and their underlying purpose.

My guess is that your email provider hasn't sent them to the site yet.? (You'll only know for sure when they finally arrive and you can check the headers.)

Have you read this wiki: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Removed-for-spam? Feel free to copy it into your own wiki section, and draw your members' attention to it. It may well be that your members are contributing to the problem.

Becoming a "paid for" group will not help at all.

Chris

I've just sent several messages to one of my groups, including a couple of special notices. They didn't arrive, and there's no record of them in either the group activity log or my own activity. Any ideas?

Is there a way to set a group so that only owner or moderators can send attachments?

Thank you for your help.

We had a links page on Yahoogroups.?
We now have a wiki on Groups.io
Works well.?
There are help pages in using the wiki if you are new to them.?

Frances

I have had several members being removed because of spam. This is becoming a big problem because many of them get upset and are not coming back.

Not sure what to do about this. Might have to go back to yahoo or pay here.

Any advice?

There's no setting for it, but the site limits it to 5 hashtags.? You might suggest this on the beta group, "the official suggestion box" for Groups.io.

A possible work-around.? You could set all of the hashtags to Moderated, so that messages using them would have to be approved.? Probably not feasible on a group that requires hashtags and creates more work for moderators though.

We also seeing frequent use of hashtags without any subject. Is is possible to require a subject?

Unfortunately, no.? I don't get a lot of these posts, but they do show up now and then.

I sent a message to one of my groups and strangely received 2 "Delivery Failure” email notices

Perhaps these notices were from mail2world.com, not comcast.

Those messages were auto-forwarded to mail2world.com, some members of the .io group have set up forwarding. Probably you can see these members' email addresses in the header or footer included in the Delivery Failure notices. Unsub or ban them.
