Otherwise you could go on a long vacation or die or whatever and anyone else could use your computer to post under your name for an indefinite period of time. Some kind of banner message at the top of the page people land on saying "YOU ARE NOT LOGGED IN" might be helpful. That's a notion I could support.

Re: Automated donotreply account stuck in "bouncing" status
Eric,
I have an email that goes out automatically a few times per day, butUse an Email Integration address for this. That provides a specific address which your service can send to that will post to your group without requiring your service to be a member. The integration will "lock in" on the address of the first message it receives so that spammers can't use that as a way to get junk into your group. Or, you could set the group to allow non-Subscriber posts. The plus side is that it is easy to set up, and works with any number of sending services. The downsides are that it works with any sending address and so all such posts will perforce require approval.

You might want to try a page refresh (CTRL-F5). #2. ?Is there a way to connect to facebook so that the posts made on groups.io appear secondarily on facebook?Correct -- the Facebook integration works in only one direction, and only works for public pages. Your best bet here is probably using an rss feed. The feed address for your GIO group is the same as that of your home page with /rss appended to the end. Check your home page and -- if your group is Public -- you will find a "Feed" link under Group Information. I understand that there used to be a native Facebook interface for this but it's gone now. You might try the 3rd-party app found at??. If your group is Private, there is no way to make it Public again. In that case you will have to find some app that will forward incoming personal emails to Facebook, get it set up and working, then subscribe that email address to the GIO group. From what I'm reading the rss feed will probably be more straightforward. By the way, do not expect things to cross-post in real time. These feeds are shared by polling, and delays of several hours can be expected. Hope this helps, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: staying logged in to Groups.IO
I was having the same problem.? On my ipad I never had to log in again but on my iPhone I did.? I went in and told my iPhone to remember the password and use touch id. Now every time I click on a link it takes me to my group but there is a little box that says use "my e-mail address", if i click on that, it then allows me to use touch id to log into groups io.? Not sure why it goes directly on my ipad but not my phone but at least I don't have to type in this info every time now.

2 -- help page focus, reverse posting
Two questions, and my sincere apologies if these have already been addressed!
#1. ?The help page is what I call double exposed. ?The words are there twice over top of each other and I can't read it. Is this a groups.io problem or mine? #2. ?Is there a way to connect to facebook so that the posts made on groups.io appear secondarily on facebook? In reading integrations I understand that it's the reverse that happens. Thanks for any help. ~~ Pamela~~

Re: Bug in subscription

Liam -- For the past half-hour, I have been testing this using the Shalstest group. When I have the main group set to Restricted, nothing happens with the subgroup request without Moderator intervention in the main group. This strikes me as expected behavior. If I wanted people to be able to join the main group without Moderator intervention, I would be using some other main group setting. This is especially true if I am using my main group setting as a firewall for the subgroups. Do I really want two Pending subscriptions to show up, and have to remember to reject them both? With the main group set to NuM only and the subgroup set to Restricted, a join request to the subgroup puts the user in the main group right away, and into Pending in the subgroup...again, as expected. These observations suggest to me that the subscription process is working the way it's supposed to. You should be able to achieve the behavior you want by unchecking Restricted and using some other Spam Control setting in the main group. Now I have to go back to Shalstest and set everything back the way it was. :-) Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: staying logged in to Groups.IO
I use Safari on my iPhone (iOS 12.0.1) and on my MacBook. I am able to Follow without having to log in.
I have set a password. i.e. I am not using a default password from "email me a link". And I stay logged in on both devices. Also no apps on my iPhone to prevent cookies. Odd that your two devices won't play nicely with each other. Frances -- /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki /static/help More help: use the search button at the top of the Messages list. |
