Re: New file upload message
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýBack in my Y days of moderation that has carried over to Groups.io, I used to get a notification of a file upload (with the name of the file), but I don¡¯t know or remember if any of the members got the notification too. In our group¡¯s case uploaded files were done mainly to add to our library of the knowledge, or for members to add photos to their photo albums. Uploading files or photos wasn¡¯t meant to start a discussion, unless the member that did the upload also sent a post to the group about the upload. ? Don ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Andy W ? Hi Shal,
I wanted to see if anyone had any other thoughts before posting on Beta.? I did think about having the filename as part of the subject but some filename could be long and I find that long message subjects are not always well presented on some displays like mobile devices.? For my own purposes, having the ability to add a hashtag would be great.? I'll move this over to beta now. |

Hi Shal,
I think what you want to suggest (on beta) is that these notifications always be treated as a New Topic.I wanted to see if anyone had any other thoughts before posting on Beta.?

Re: Hi everyone a few ?s
Debbie,
1. Does anyone know how or can we even do this..Make sure members thatThere is no way to do that. Groups.io is designed to allow group members to participate by web or email, either or both, member's choice. You (a group moderator) cannot close off either option. You could delete messages as they post, so that there's nothing for web users to see. But that's basically circumventing the intent of the service. 2.Is there a way to hide your alias , I mean why does all these ownersI'm not sure what you mean by "alias". There are two forms of identification associated with each of your group subscriptions. One is your email address, the other is your Display Name. There is no way to prevent group owners from knowing your email address. Nor even to prevent it from being sent to other group members with each message you post. Your Display Name is under your control: you can set it to anything you want in any group, even different things in different groups. You can edit your Display name through your Profile page, available through the Subscription page in individual groups, or you can see them all in your account pages. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Profile-and-Email-Address-and-Merging-Accounts Another thing I am in groups with Paint Shop and I am looking for aI don't know what you mean by "Headers", maybe another GMF member can help you with that.

Andy,
No such message was sent and I found that all file uploads trigger theI think what you want to suggest (on beta) is that these notifications always be treated as a New Topic. I don't know if you want to also suggest that the Subject text be made unique somehow, but that doesn't matter as much as having it be a new topic irrespective of the Subject match. The obvious thought for making the Subject unique would be to include the file name.

Re: Banned domains?
Andy,
I've added a link to the Group Subscription section of the main WikiThanks for that page, it looks great! On the home page I moved the link under the Group Management major section, Member Management subsection, as it isn't a function for members to use.

Joseph,
... and deleted myself as well as the other two owners.As Duane said, the system prevents you from deleting all of the Owners (or at least, it is supposed to). what is the best way to restore my permissions to reset the group? AddYes. You, or whichever owner is left standing should add back the others. I don't think there is a way to recover the Subscription settings those owners had, other than remembering them.

Re: Is there any way that a group member can hide their email address but not their name when posting?
Michael, I would very much like to see this as an option.?... So if possible please put it higher on the wishes list. To bump this up you'll need to suggest it in the . No one from Groups.io monitors GMF, we're strictly user-to-user. The topic I cited is now locked so you won't be able to reply to it. But nothing stops you from creating a new topic with the same or similar Subject line. It might be useful for you to cite that old topic, as well as the Trello link, just to save the readers of beta from trying to look those up for you. And so they know that you don't need to have the old arguments re-hashed.
I presume they are aware that their email address is divulged only to fellow group members who receive group messages by individual email. That is, it is not divulged on the group's web pages (except to group moderators). On a more short-term basis, perhaps they could be convinced to create an email account at the email service of their choice, and not provide any personal identifiers in the address or name of that account. That would allow them to post without revealing their "real" email address. Granted it is a little inconvenient to manage a second email address just for this purpose, but most email desktop or mobile apps make it pretty simple to manage two or more email addresses from the same user interface. Some webail platforms (such as Gmail) handle this well also. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Does anyone know how to get the table border lines to save on the wiki?Tom -- Unfortunately, the groups.io wiki editor strips many inline styles. Equally unfathomable, deprecated, non-CSS constructs like <table border="1"> and <img align="right"> seem to survive the edit/save process. I was told some months ago that groups.io itself uses the bootstrap.css style sheet (found in the files area here) in some manner; but even then, the classes I've pulled from there and tried to apply to wiki pages have been very hit-and-miss.

Re: Hey, I accidently deleted myself (owner)

You'll need to get another owner to add/invite you, then you can do the rest.? It shouldn't have allowed you to delete the last owner account.? That would be a bug that you need to report to [email protected] with as many details as you can provide.
