You can open his user record and click the red Remove button at the bottom of the page.

To get him back to Pending, he would then have to send a new subscription request. There is no way that you can move him back into Pending status yourself.?

Or you can just wait until you get the information you need and send him an Invite.

Hope this helps,

member approved by accident

 

Hi,

If one of the moderators accidentally approved a member before we had all the info that he met our group's requirements, what are our options? I'm assuming there's not a way to put him back to unapproved...

I have already reached out to this member asking for the missing info and have not heard back as of yet.

Thanks,
Su


email address from sender

 

I note that at one place it says that the email address of the sender of a message will be readable by all members who receive postings and notifications via email.? ?That seems to undermine the privacy concepts that are embodied in such features as having a single email address to deliver postings to all the members...and it undermines the concept of Muting in general since a bad player who doesn't like a given posting has the information necessary to attact the posting member's email account directly.? ?Surely it would be a better idea for the posting to be shown as FROM Group io so that the posting member's email address is not exposed.? ?Doesn't that make sense?? Why does is it not done that way?? Or maybe I misunderstood the note.


Re: suddenly many yahoo.com members are bouncing, but not all of them

Hi Shal,

?

I have several members who started being blocked on March 8, while over 200 Yahoo addresses are not bouncing. All of the bouncing members have the error
????????? 554 delivery error: dd Sorry, your message to ronenbn@... cannot be delivered. This mailbox is disabled (554.30)

?

It seems odd that the bouncing started on the same day for the same reason.

yes, i have sent bounce probes...any other info on this situation?

I'm not seeing that among GMF's Yahoo Mail users. Has the situation resolved itself?

?

In the affected member's Email Delivery History tab, what Reason is given for the bounces? Or Response if seen as a Most Recent Unsuccessful Attempt?

?

Re: Customizing home page

 

You can add a photo - in Admin, Settings, Cover Photo.?
I also added an icon for each of my groups. I chose something related to my my group or cover photo. These show up when I go to My Groups on my iPhone.

You can edit your group description. Admin, Settings. Scroll down for Description.?I also added to this -?

Too much mail? ?Use Subscription in the left menu for delivery options. Try Advanced Preferences. Or use the footers in your email to tailor delivery options for specific threads.

Files, photos, wiki, older messages - all available here on the group's homepage.

You can use bolding, and other formatting. You can add hyperlinks.

Customizing home page

 

Being brand new to groups, I was curious to see if there is a way to customize the he page.

Re: suddenly many yahoo.com members are bouncing, but not all of them

 

Oddly, my travel group has 549 Yahoo Mail users. Only a half dozen were bouncing. Thanks for the heads up, Ruthie!

The message I see in Email Delivery History tab is:
This mailbox is disabled (554.30)
It seems one has been bouncing since March 1, 2019, a couple for just the last few days.

BTW, I am happy to have the search box at the top of the members so I could just find all the Yahoo ones quickly!

About a year ago, Yahoo had a bunch of issues with their mail servers (see /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/14788994). Groups would send people messages but they would bounce with a 500-level error to the effect that "that account does not exist." So you should definitely check the Email Delivery History per Shal's recommendation to see if something similar is happening. If so, it will resolve itself when sufficient number of the service users contact Yahoo and complain.

For what it's worth, my main group has 20 subscribers that use Yahoo Mail and none of them are experiencing delivery problems.

Good luck,
Bruce

Re: File renaming

 

Awesome! Thanks for your help. I did find out that the member was using the web interface, and he says he'll email them from now on, but good to know the issue is fixed.

Thanks,
Mike

Re: OK to use some GMF wiki as start for my own group? #wiki

 

Su,

Is it OK to use the more basic info in the GMF Wiki as a starting
point?
Yes.

Note that GMF's Wiki is open to the public. For information that you don't need to customize you may wish to link to GMF's page instead of copying it - that way you and your group members will have the benefit of any later improvements.

And speaking of improvements, if you can improve upon any of GMF's pages please do so.

If yes, is there a way to copy over multiple pages at once, ...
Not that I know of.

Re: Getting at the raw email text

 

Stephano,

My "owners" can view the source:

/g/somegroup/original/15512

Is there a way for my owners to also see the raw email text?
The View Source item in the More menu is the way to see the raw message header and body text.

It sounds like you're looking for something else, but I'm not sure what. Can you elaborate on what you're hoping to see?

Re: Creating an alias

 

Mike,

Any suggestions on how can we create this type of alias?
That may depend on what you think "this type of alias" does.

In Groups.io those addresses are for posting only - no group messages or notices are sent to them. Any messages posted by them post as if they were posted by the primary (subscription) address. In Yahoo Groups addresses of this kind are referred to as "Alternate Posting Addresses".

As Duane said, if the address is already in use (someone used it to join a group, or to log into the site) then it cannot be used as an Alias for another address.

I would like to create some basic help pages for my group. Is it OK to use the more basic info in the GMF Wiki as a starting point? If yes, is there a way to copy over multiple pages at once, or is it only doable a page at a time?

Re: Migrate Yahoo

 

Thanks for the reply.

The link says "For the transfer, we ask that you sign up for the Premium Yearly plan" I have looked, but nowhere can I find details of costing!

groups.io was recommended to me, but based on the difficulty of finding transfer detail or costing I am beginning to have reservations.

Re: How to disable user? #membership

 

Thank you Bruce.? I just posted the question in the beta group.? Wiil wait to see if any answers.


Removed for spam query

 

Quick question:? If someone is removed for marking a group message as spam, is either the Goodbye or Removed Member notice ever sent, too?

My guess is no, but could use confirmation on this from one who knows for sure.

Thanks,
Bruce
