Is there away that you can give edit access to some people in the group with out giving everyone access or restricted access to the calendar?You will have to make them Moderators to achieve this objective. Go to Admin>Settings>Features>Calendar. Options get more restrictive as you go down the list. If I understand you correctly,?you will want to?select "Subscribers cannot view, Moderators can edit." If you want subscribers to be able to see the calendar but not edit it, select the option immediately above. All Moderators (and Owners) will have this privilege. There is no way to assign the calendar edit privilege to a subset of your Moderators. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

spam prevention for discussion lists
I'm about to create a discussion list (receive-only emails) for our user group.? I can set the moderation level to N approved posts before a member can post unmoderated.
But I'm concerned spammers will just create (huge numbers of) dummy email addresses in an attempt to post. Any advice appreciated. |

Re: Map view option for database tables
Bruce,
The entire address has to be in one column?of type "address" (not text or paragraph or something like that). If you have it broken down into separate columns for address/city/state/zip it will not work.Thanks - I have a working version now. I had the address fields in separate columns because that's how it was sepcified when I exported the other table. This means that you cannot just export table contents and load them back in elsewhere without doing some manipulation on any address fields first. Andy |
How can I modify the default 20 Messages per pageThe iterms per page are shown in your account preferences.? Assuming you are on a desktop browser, click on your name in the top right corner of the Groups.io window, and select Account.? Then go to the Preferences using the menu options down the left side.

Re: you have reached the limit
Andy,
Does anyone know if there's a limit to the number of entries in a single Direct Add execution?Not that I know of. If there is one I suspect it is arbitrarily large - relating to the amount of computer memory you have (the buffer used to hold the data for transfer to Groups.io's server). I expect to have around 1000 to do shortly.I wouldn't expect any problem with that. Or even 10 times that.

Is it suggested to add a smaller initial group of 25 to get approval and then add the rest in one bulk submit (via a file attachment)?No, that is not the best way. If you invite/add more than 20 people in any given day, it requires approval each time. If I recall correctly, there was a similar restriction at Y!G. Folks are making too much of this. Simply submit them all at once and wait. The delay involved is not prohibitive.? ? Regards, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: you have reached the limit
I'm glad this is being brought up.? I just started a new group (and subgroups) for the NYJavaSIG (NY Java User Group) and plan to migrate our entire user community to groups.io from our legacy (and aging fast) email service.? ?I plan on directly add about 8500 email addresses.? ?Is it suggested to add a smaller initial group of 25 to get approval and then add the rest in one bulk submit (via a file attachment)?

If you have it broken down into separate columns for address/city/state/zip it will not work.? Now click the blue Map View button at top. If you see the box in which the map should be displayed but it appears to be empty, try zooming out several times, or switch to satellite view. Default seems to be maximum zoom in roadmap view and you will sometimes end up with an empty box if there are no nearby roads.

Hi,
as the creator of an event with an RSVP I can see which users have responded by viewing the event and then using the View Responses button. I cannot see anyway of managing the waitlist though.? If someone responds to say they will attend the event and takes one of the available spaces and is then either unable or unwilling to update their RSVP to say they can no longer attend a place will not be freed up for the next person on the waitlist. How can I manage the waitlist to overcome this? Thanks, Andy |

Re: you have reached the limit
Hi Duane,
thanks. If I can do a batch of just over 20 to start with and then the remaining 1000 or so I should be able to test that and report back here.? I don't expect that to be until late Feb though. The message thread on the beta group you pointed me at raises the point that paid plans (it mentioned Enterprise and I am on Premium) shouldn't really need to be moderated like this. If we're paying for a service to get extra features (such as Direct Add) then we should be able to use them without moderation. Andy |

I'm hoping that was a typo and you meant 200!No, not a typo.? When you invite or direct add more than 20 in a 24 hour period, the request gets put in a queue for moderation.? After it's approved, all of them go through at once.? Just add/invite everyone at once and there will only be one delay.? Details at .? One thing that isn't mentioned anyplace - some folks have said that future batches don't have the delay.? I can't verify that, but maybe someone else can.? If so, we can add that info to the Wiki here.? That would mean it works like the "unmoderate after 1 post" setting for members of a group.

Re: you have reached the limit
Hi Duane,
Yes, it's the same for both, about 20.I'm hoping that was a typo and you meant 200! That said, I have just over 1000 that I'll be looking to Direct Add.? Are you telling me that it will be into the sixth day before they have all received emails saying they have been added to the group??? I was expecting to be able to do this process overnight so everyone had the details on the same morning. Andy |
