Re: Adding Via Groups IO to my sender name
Loopy,
It was all fine until about 4 or 5 days ago and once again thisAs Bruce cited, a few weeks ago Gmail made a change, which caused a warning to be displayed if you receive your own message back from Groups.io. To avoid that warning Groups.io made a change to how the "From" field is written when sent back to you (but not to other members of the group). That's what you're seeing. I don't like it either. I was happy with my messages showing up in Gmail as From "me", now they're From someone named "Shal Farley via Groups.io". Aside from being ugly, this new method confuses my email client (Thunderbird) because the From no longer matches any account I actually have. PITA I hope someone can help because I don't like that being added.Not in the foreseeable future. There is a technique Groups.io can try (ARC signing the messages), but it is a lot of work for Mark and not guaranteed to succeed. Or Gmail could roll back that change, but that is even less likely, Mark has talked with an engineer there and he says the trend is towards tightening the rules, not relaxing them. Gmail's intent is to ensure that you, as a recipient of a message, can tell when the message was sent directly from someone's email account versus when it was sent "via" some third-party service (a list) like Groups.io. Other people in the group use gmail without this issue.For now, you see other member's addresses without that change, and they see yours without it. And every Gmail user sees their own with it. But if Gmail tightens this up further Groups.io may be forced to re-write more user's From addresses.

Re: Missing incoming messages for two days?
It would depend on the group.? I have one with little activity at times, but spurts now and then.? Another usually has 'constant' activity, but has had spells of 3-4 days with none.
Have you looked in the Activity Log to see if there's any information that may show a possible cause? Duane -- Help: /static/help GMF's Wiki: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Search button at the top of Messages list A few site FAQs: /static/pricing#frequently-asked-questions |

Ken -- I'm talking about a group setting option. If you don't want it, don't use it.Bruce Understood. My point maybe not made clearly was,?if the group rule is to allow attachments but ban embedded pix, then that possibly poses a problem for many members (iOS) who would otherwise like to ¡°obey the rule.¡± ? If the owner¡¯s position is, ¡°Tough crap, it¡¯s my group so don¡¯t use an iOS device,¡± that's ok but it doesn¡¯t seem to meet the desired end. But if the desire is to ban all, including embedded, then that¡¯s a different end.? If the desire is to ban some offensive (for whatever reason) embedded pic (a business card, ad, cartoon, whatever) then that¡¯s a ¡®hole ¡®nother issue (and a black hole it is.)

/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/How-to-Set-a-Personal-Password-and-Profile%3B-Changing-Email-Address says: | Setting Your Own Password | Maybe you are using the default password that Groups.io set for you when you were moved over from Yahoo! Groups or Google Groups. What is this 'default password? Does it refer to the temporary password (login link) that any Groups.io user can get at any time - if so this is misleading verbiage - or something else? |

I have a large number of files to be available to my group members.? ?I wonder if there is a bulk method to upload these without having to do this one file at a timeYou don't have to upload them one at a time.?In the Upload File dialog, click the Browse button. Select as many files as you want from the resulting File Explorer "Open" window. In Windows, you can do this by clicking and dragging with the mouse, or hold down the CTRL key while clicking on several files. Ctrl-A will also work to select all the files, but you have to click somewhere in the "Open" box first. I have no idea why. When you're done making your selections, click the Open button at the bottom. The files selected should now appear as thumbnails in the Upload dialog. Enter a description if you want and click the blue Add button to actually upload them. Having said that, there is no provision to upload an entire folder. You have to manually create the directory structure within groups.io first, at which point you can then upload a collection of files into each folder. I hope that made sense. ?

Re: Cannot sign-in to my Groups.io Accounts
Jim, are they dups to the same email address? Or do you get the same message to two email addresses?
There is a way to prevent dups to the same email address - stop getting copies of your own sent messages. Go to Account on the right (under your name), click on Preferences, choose: Email Preferences. Untick I always want copies of my own emails. Email PreferencesMy Posts

Re: spoofing
Just curious about this. An account takeover by impersonation, is that a criminal offense? If you felt you could prove who did it, would you then be entitled to lodge a criminal complaint against them with police? Because of the potential for the impersonator to access personal financial accounts (via the email account), if it's not specifically illegal it should be. tommy0421 |
