Re: Turning your group into a paid group
Randi, Does anybody charge for being in the group? I do indirectly. One of my groups is for a PTA unit, and the unit charges dues. But the dues are for much more than just the group membership so that's a bit different. I believe others have also mentioned groups similarly affiliated with real-world organizations (where membership in the RW organization is a requirement for group membership). Is it against the guidelines? No, in fact it is a . Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Starting a second group
I have already started one group here, ?but I need to start a second one. I have looked all over but it doesn¡¯t give me a create group option because I have already created a group. I want to create it under the same email. Can somebody suggest how to do that. Thank you in advance.
Randi P.S. I should mention that when I press ¡°create or find a group¡± option, it just gives me a list of the groups and a search bar. It does not give me an option to create a group. Everything I press just leaves me in a circle that goes around and around and around with no option to create a group.? |

Re: best way to limit email replies

Is there a combination of settings that would allow me to basically "push" an initial email (new topic) out to the list via email, but then have any replies or continued chatter be "subscription only" where you wouldn't get any of the replies unless you specifically sign up or subscribe to the thread?? So the rest of the responses are pulled and not pushed?Yes, you can make this behavior a group default...but you can't force your subscribers to keep it. Go to Admin>Settings and click the Default Sub Settings button at the top.?Examine the Message Selection section on the resulting page. Based on your proposal above, I believe you would want to check the "Following only" and "First Message Also" boxes. Subscribers with this setting would then receive the first message of each topic, but would not receive any subsequent ones unless they chose to follow it (by clicking a link in the message footer). These settings will be automatically applied to all new subscribers, and will persist until such time that they decide to change it to something else. I suppose if subscribing wasn't an option, maybe some sort of "only view on the web forum" sort of situation would be fine, but it'd be great if email could be maintained somehow instead of just forum browsing.If you don't want emails sent, in this same section check the "No Email" or "Special Notices Only" boxes (instead of Following Only, etc). Again, the individual subscriber will be able to change to something else later, if he wants to. If you want all communication to be one-way with no Subscriber replies at all, you can set up your group as an Announcement group (Admin>Settings>Spam Control).

Earthlink is again bouncing Groups.io emails
Folks: fyi ... looks like Earthlink is again bouncing emails from Groups.io. I had to unbounce myself (a group owner) from Groups.io due to this situation.
I've sent a message to the Groups.io support team -- as well as another unblock request to Earthlink. Regards. Junu Kim |

Re: Photo display size

In other words, when a photo that is not square is uploaded to an album the entire image is not seen on the album page unless that particular file is opened.? Is there a way to be able to see entire photos by simply viewing the album rather than opening each individual picture?? Hope that makes sense...I'm not aware of any group setting that would affect this. If you must have this behavior, your only option would be to expand the canvas of every photo to a 1:1 aspect ratio (centering the image and padding with some neutral color) before uploading. Most image editors will do this readily enough, but I've not encountered any that can automatically do it to a group of photos. You may be stuck doing them one by one.

Re: member not confirmed
Sarah, Some members claimed, even after resending the invitation several times, that they never received it and couldn't find it in spam. (Email address is correct). I believe that the Invite page tracks delivery failures. So if Hotmail had actually rejected the invitations those would be listed with some form of failure rather than "sent". Which makes it mysterious why the invitees don't find the invitation, not even in Spam. I don't know Hotmail, is it possible that it would deliver to a different folder, such as Trash? So, I asked some to just go to the main group page and "apply to join this group" themselves, which some did. That should do the trick, for any of them that receive and respond to the confirmation email sent by Groups.io Is there something else the NC could be signifying that I'm not thinking of, but can fix on my end? No. It means simply that they haven't yet confirmed that they own the address and want to join the group (by receiving and responding to the confirmation email). If someone applies to join the group while currently having an unaccepted invitation, does the system reconcile the two and add the member? No. The system will treat the application separately. If your group has Restricted Membership it means they should show up on your Pending Members list. An invitation bypasses the approval step, so if they accept the invitation they go straight to the Members list. Accepting an invitation also confirms their email address and their desire to join the group.
