Here is a sample of fictitious data (in CSV format) that I tried to import.

is there a way to turn spam filters off? with spectrum you can not.

If you're on Spectrum and were formerly Time Warner, you should be able to turn filtering off. If formerly on Charter, I don't know. I was formerly Time Warner and I just set the spam filter to filter the spam into my Inbox instead of Trash or Junk... that's equivalent to filter off.

I'm trying to import an address book into the Databases section using a CSV file containing the following column headers:

• LAST NAME
• FIRST NAME
• TITLE
• COMMUNITY
• MUNICIPALITY
• DEPARTMENT/DIVISION
• ADDRESS:Address Line 1
• ADDRESS:Address Line 2
• ADDRESS:City
• ADDRESS:State / Province / Region
• ADDRESS:Postal / Zip Code
• ADDRESS:Country
• PHONE
• FAX
• EMAIL ADDRESS

For the six ADDRESS data headers above, I selected the Address column type when setting up the new table in the Databases section.

All the columns import correctly, except for "ADDRESS:City". "ADDRESS:City" is being populated by?"ADDRESS:Address Line 1" data.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Perhaps too much detail, but this is generally how it worked for me.

• Make sure you have a header row in your CSV file
• Create a new table in the Databases section of GIO
• Make sure each column name in the CSV file matches each column name in the GIO database
• In the GIO database, click "+ Import Rows"
• Choose your CSV file and make sure "File Has Header Line" is checked
• Click "Import"

Ken,

Am I right in my assumption that private replies get sent to the
member's email regardless of their email settings? (I'm thinking of
members who have selected "no email").

Correct.

The subscription settings for Email Delivery and the Advanced Preferences apply only to group postings.

Mike,

I would call their tech support to ask. I have Roadrunner email, which
is now part of Spectrum. Long before the takeover of Time Warner
cable, I got into my email settings and changed the spam filter to
send me all the messages it thinks is spam to my inbox but mark it as
SPAM in the subject line. I don't get many of those but when I do,
most of the time it is spam, sometimes not.

There are settings in your Spectrum email account but I haven't been
in there for ages now. You might fish around in there and see what you
can find.



I don't remember being able to turn off the spam filter but I was
happy with getting all my messages, with suspect ones marked with SPAM
in the subject line. I'd check but I have an issue with logging into
that part of their site and don't want to reset any passwords since it
might mean I'll have to change my email password in multiple apps on
several devices.

Mike,

I don't believe that there is, but I'll admit that I haven't looked very hard. Maybe your favorite search engine will turn up a help page or forum post.

Eric,

How about starting a new chat that we might use to road test the "chat" feature?

Let's not use GMF for testing.

Instead please use your own test group (or ) and report your findings back in GMF.

Mike,

what is the best provider that d does not do what spectrum does?
i am thinking of going with my own domaine, and having mail go through
there, but not sure.

I've been happy with Dreamhost as a private domain service (both web pages and email). They're good in terms of promptly delivering all my mail to me and that's one of my strictest criteria. One caveat: I use Thunderbird to retrieve my mail from them, their webmail user interface is (IMO) horrid.

Their spam filtering seems pretty good, not too much gets through and, more importantly to me, very few good messages land in the Spam folder. That's after some initial training, like many spam filters it "learns" from you marking messages as spam or not spam.

One odd quirk (or at least it seems odd compared to services like gmail) is that it keeps your Inbox limited. Older messages and too many messages are automatically moved to your old-messages folder. This is seldom a problem when using POP as you would most likely download and delete from the server regularly - but could trip you up if you are a member of some high-volume groups. When using IMAP you just get used to not holding messages in the Inbox, moving messages between on-line and off-line folders as needed.

Oops, you (and Beth) are right on that one. Might be a good suggestion for beta.

Thanks Bruce,
I do have it restricted, but since I'm already an owner I figured that was why I didn't see the button.? I am going to copy your member notice and get it set up to see if it will help.

One of my groups is in a similar situation. We have an active Member Notice of type "Pending Subscription" that has helped to head things off somewhat.

It reads as follows:

---

"Thanks for your interest in the {groupname} collaboration site at groups.io. {Groupname} is a restricted group for members of the {club}.?

If you are an active member, you will be added to the group as soon as we verify your entry in our membership list.

If you have recently sent in a membership application, your request will be granted as soon as your application is processed. Please understand that this could take a day or two.?

Information on how to join the {club} may be found on our web site at {URL where our application is located}.

Regards,
The {Groupname} Moderators

---

The ability to post to our group is a significant benefit of membership in our parent organization.?We purposely keep our message archive public so people can see what's going on; and in so doing, hopefully attract new members. Having people who aren't yet members apply to the GIO group can be a nuisance, but it is also an opportunity.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce

ok, once again I seem to be backwards.. ?we have an application process through our website and do not want people to try to join through the main page. Yes I have information on the info page saying that, but I just got another person trying to join the group. We will be direct adding members after an application process.

is there a way to prevent the request to join?
thanks

Judy,

I already have 7 subscribers to my new group overnight, and their first post requires moderator approval, but I can’t find how to do that.

?

I have followed the link in the Needs Approval link in a post, but can’t figure out what to do.

In the Message Approval Needed email, the View this message online link should take you to a page similar to this:



If you aren't seeing this the most likely explanation is what Bruce said: you are not logged in to Groups.io, or are logged in using an email address which is not a group owner or moderator. The Owner badge he referred to is shown on the Home button, just under the Groups.io logo in the screenshot above. If you need to navigate to this page click the Admin button on the left to open the buttons for admin functions, then click the Pending button.

In that list you can check the box next to the message(s) you wish to approve, then click the green Aprove button.

Or you can click on the message subject to open the message and read it first.

Since there is no option to immediately turn off archiving we will just delete our newly set up group and not use groups.oi.

Groups.io may not exactly replace YahooGroups feature for feature, it does function reliably,
You could just delete messages until a “No Archive” option is available...

HelpingPawsCEO,

How do we set up 'Do Not Archive' or remove the archive feature in
groups.io

As Duane said you can't do that, but you can make the archive Private so that only group members have access.

Our new groups.io group does not want its messages/post archived.

Is there a specific reason that a private archive would not be sufficient? Explaining the use case may make it a more compelling suggestion.

If you think you may be using the site some day, possibly after a non-archive option is offered, I wouldn't delete the group.? Just set it allow no posts, etc and use it as a placeholder.? The name of a deleted group can't be reused for some unknown time.? You could also change the group name to something that would likely never be used (gibberish) before deleting so the original name would be available.
