Re: Urgent: How do we stop members' emails being displayed in notification messages (Oct2018)

 

Some further information - although I don't know whether it's anything to do with it or not.

****, I see the same thing as you, so I viewed the page source. Now I use as my preferred mail handler but access it through Google Chrome, so halfway down a humongously long page of programming I found a sentence that may explains it, so here in **** speak is why it shows up.?

If you use Google Chrome or Google mail, in fact anything remotely connected to Google, you are going to enjoy what Google thinks is an improvement?with or without?your approval.

In addition to the issue of flouting the EU privacy requirements, there may be another issue down the line with who would be held responsible for any breaches, as we lodge our email addresses on our groups.io account, not with google and the emails are sent from groups.io.


Re: Urgent: How do we stop members' emails being displayed in notification messages (Oct2018)

 
Edited

One of the members concerned sent me this after I explained your reply to them.? The problem is on the emai notifications sent to to the member.
The member uses gmail - maybe there is something happening with google and gmail?

What was concerning me was not that I can see my own but that everyone¡¯s private email address is coming up on my gmail account.not just the digitising diva site
All ?the emails from the group open up in my gmail account and on the group site on my computer and on my IPad ,and have done since Magg¡¯s Changed from Yahoo?
I have always been able to get everyone¡¯s private address on the. IPad in the group site ?if I click on details and that is the same as normal, what is different is the fact that they are all just there to be seen under all your names on the computer in my gmail account when I check all my other daily emails.
That is what I have been wondering about because it has only happened over the 3 days.Never before,
It is the fact that it is not on the Digitizing divas site that I was concerned about
Up till now ?I have only had using your name for example yours was ?seen as Sparkle Fever With digitising diva beside it.? Your private email address was not there before but it is now.?
Today¡¯s emails It was the same for all today¡¯s emails ,the persons,Name that is used in the group for the digitising divas ,then their private email address .I have been trying to work out if I have hit an icon by accident but if I have I can¡¯t find


Re: Importing a csv list

 

Peter,

Is it possible to select what is copied across and subsequently copy
more later?
Yes.

On the Yahoo Group Transfer instructions page click on the green Start New Transfer button at the bottom.
/yahootransfer

That will take you to the page where you will initiate your transfer. On it you'll see the list of checkboxes for the various sections to copy. You can then leave that page without actually starting the process.

I recommend that Members be included in the first transfer. Otherwise their addresses won't be in the Groups.io group when other content (Files and Photos) is copied - and so the ownership of that content will revert to you (the account that initiated the transfer).

Re: Importing a csv list

 

Good morning Bruce,
?
Thank you for your message following which I have managed to import the cvs file. ?Being new to I mistakenly thought that I had to select the relevant file and click Instal! ?I now know better!
?
We hope to be copying the data from Yahoo soon. ?Is it possible to select what is copied across and subsequently copy more later? ?I¡¯m thinking about photos in particular - we have to decide whether they should be included or not and that decision won¡¯t be made for a few weeks.

Kind Regards

You cannot import a table using the "Import Table" button unless it's in JSON format.?If you're in CSV, you have to predefine the table in GIO with exactly the same column names and data types. With the table thus created and open, then click on the "Import Rows" button at the bottom.

Hope this helps,

Re: Urgent: How do we stop members' emails being displayed in notification messages (Oct2018)

 

SparkleFever,

For the past 3 days, members have reported that all the email
addresses on each post are being included on the
messages/notifications they receive from our group.
I can think of three things they might be concerned about:

1) The From address of the posting member, in the From field.
2) The From address of members quoted in the message body.
3) Their own address in the message footer.

How do we stop this from happening as soon as possible as members are
concerned about their information being released.
You can't.

(1) and (2) are in the nature of an email list. To and From addresses are always explicitly known to sender and recipient.

(3) is harmless - it only shows them their own address.

Re: How do I make someone a moderator?

 

Sylvia,

How do I go about doing making them a moderator?
Find the person in the group's Members page, and click on their row (anywhere except the checkbox). That will open the member's subscription page.

The Role control is a drop-list, change it from Member to Moderator.

That will open up some new sections, including Moderator Permissions, Notifications, and Owner Email. Set those options as you feel is appropriate for this moderator's duties in your group. Then at the bottom of the page click the blue Save button.

I co-own a group and sadly the other owner has passed away.
It was very smart of that owner to have planned for this possibility.

At some point, maybe not now but before too long, you should consider promoting someone to the Owner role, so that there will once again be two or more owners for the group. It is the best way to ensure that the group survives whatever life throws your way.

Doing that is the same as promoting to Moderator, except that there won't be a Moderator Permissions section - Owners automatically have all permissions. That includes the ability to demote you - so be sure it is someone you trust in that role.

Re: subgroup creation fails?

 

jmarchbold,

There are no members in the primary group, as I have just created it.
Is that required?
No.

I don't know if your primary group must be approved before you can create subgroups, but I'll throw that out as a guess.

Re: LIMITED ACCESS TO ADD ATTACHMENTS

 

Ellen,

Thanks again Duane, do you think they will change that in the future?
I'm not Duane, but I don't.

How would you restrict it to just me the moderator/owner?
The only way I can think of would be to select /Moderate/ for the Attachments option, under Message Formatting in your group's Settings. Then reject messages with attachments (or delete the attachments) when posted by anyone else.

How do you open it up to everyone?
Select /Allow/ in the Attachments option.

Re: Removed because of spam report

Don,


What does the "unsubbed" person have to do after they go to the automatically generated link?
Or,does the link automatically re subscribe the person?

I've not been through the process myself. I would have expected it to take the user to a page where they would confirm his/her desire to resume their subscription - click a Yes button or something. Except someone reported off-list that it merely brought her to the group's home page, none the wiser.

Re: Removed because of spam report

Many are computer illiterate and the directions to do things aren't clear enough for the average person to understand. I had one member go to vote in a poll and ended up removing themselves from the group.
?
I think the directions need to be written so a first grader can understand them.

The person "unsubbed" is very computer illiterate and I do mean that!

This person lives close enough that I may have to visit them to provide assistance.

owner cannot view poll results #poll

 

As the owner and originator of the polls, I do not know where/how to view poll results.


RSVP responses truncated

 

Styling for the RSVP responses content allows very little room for display of response content, such that the content is truncated with an ellipsis (the full content is there in the HTML source). There is no way to drill down into an individual response to view all its content.

Re: Now getting the daily digest as Spam.

 

Richard,

So I now mark the Digest message as NOT SPAM.
Didn't help.

You may have to continue marking them as Not Spam until the filter un-learns your initial mistake.

But I was not unsubscribed, probably because I am the Group Owner.

Correct, if you are the sole owner of the group Groups.io tries to prevent your unsubscription (by any cause).

How can I get the Daily Digest as an ordinary message?

Continue marking them Not Spam, and/or try Toby's suggestion of using a filter.

Re: Now getting the daily digest as Spam.

 

Richard,
Your mail client and/or email service provider is the one that is identifying the digest as spam.? You should contact their support.
Groups.io can't do anything about that.
If you are using yahoo mail, you might try to create a filter and force everything From: groups.io to the Inbox.

Re: Removed because of spam report

 

Don,

In Wiki under??Notice to member (from 22 March 2018)??RESUB LINK?is listed but the actual?link is not accessible.?
What is the actual link?

The actual link is auto-generated, unique to each case.
I presume that the group owner can send (and must send) this notice or is this notice sent automatically?

The notice is sent automatically to the user. The copy in the Wiki is just for your reference.

Re: Pending Membership Request - Pending Member Has Disppeared #membership

 

Patty,

Can a pending person retract a membership request??

Yes, by unsubscribing.
If so, shouldn't we see that action in the Activity Log (like we see a Pending Membership activity?)

Yes you should.
There have been reports that if a user deletes their Groups.io account that doesn't get logged in any group's Member Activity log, even though it effectively unsubscribes the user from all groups. So that could be what happened in your cases.
