Time error when editing row
#database
I had a quick search and didn't find anything similar to the problem I've encountered so I don't know if it's just me but when I edit a row with a column set to hold a time the time, originally entered in 24 hour format, is displayed as am or pm. If the update is posted without changing that time it appears not to be understood and a completely different time appears in the field.
Consequently every time I edit a row I have to change the time to be the original value but in 24 hour format in order to ensure it is preserved when I post the change. Is this a side effect of some subscription setting of mine or a fault in the interface implementation? |

Re: embedded subscribe buttons divert to unrelated page
Isis, ... when I was logged into the system it sent me to the list of my subscriptions, but the new group I was trying to subscribe to was not yet listed, and there was no indication that I was already subscribed. Which you were not, presumably. That being the case it seems like a bug that you should report to [email protected]. Let me know if it would help for me to post the link to the webpage with the subscribe button. He said he generated the button using the code provided by . You don't have to post it here (but may if that's ok with your friend - GMF's archives are open to the public which may or may not influence his decision). However I think it
would be helpful if you include that link in your email to support (Mark). Include
a summary of the tests you tried, and if possible a screenshot of the
page you landed on when you tried to join while already logged in to
Groups.io. I
don't know whether the problem is in the sample code provided by
Groups.io, or in its interaction with your friend's page, or something
else, but I think it will be most helpful for support to see it in place, together
with as much detail as you can provide about how you performed your tests and
what result you got from each test.

Re: Revised invite wording
Barry, It did add right away but also sent two emails to the added email. One with and another without my custom edit.? What am I doing wrong?? Unless you made it inactive, the second email was likely your group's default Welcome notice. The content of that one is fully under your control. See Member Notices in the help page.
Of course, I only want one email to go to each of the members once I add all of them. ? Review the list on the Member Notices tab of your group's Settings page. If there is a notice of type Welcome in the list, and it is marked active, click on it's name to open its settings. Uncheck the
Active Message box, then click the blue Update Notice button at the bottom of the page. You might want to make it active again after completing your additions, so that people who join by other means get a welcome notice. Or, you can have one Welcome notice written to complement your Direct Add notice, and another for normal member joins, using the active checkbox to choose which is sent. This can be useful if the text you're adding to the Direct Add notice is extensive - you can trim that down for clarity and put the rest in the welcome notice. Another member notice type to watch for is the Group Guidelines type. It has a checkbox that will cause it to be sent when a member joins the group (by any means). You may or may not want that to go out together with your Direct Add notice.

Re: embedded subscribe buttons divert to unrelated page
Isis, I wouldn't describe your list of subscriptions as "unrelated" to an attempt to subscribe to a group. But if I click on the button when I am logged in, I end up on my own list of subscriptions, with no indication whether I've subscribed or not, or any mention of the group I'm trying to join. Any insight into what might be going awry there? If you were not already a member of that group then I'd agree that something went awry. I haven't tested this, but if you can confirm whether or not you were already a member of the group that would be useful information.

He had to resend.?The usual scenario is that someone attempts to send a message using an email address that is not subscribed to the group. Since he has already forwarded the message he originally sent to you, compare the email address in the From field against the one that appears in his member record.

Re: EMAIL ISSUE
Ellen, Hi, one of the members try to send the below email to the group which we did not receive.? Does your group's Activity log show any "attempted to send" items corresponding to that date and time? If so, what was the message? Did the member get back a failure notice from his email service? If so, what did it say? Was there an issue with the email today.

Re: customizing lock topic response message
Glenn, Is there any way to customize this to something more specific to our group and less technical? No. The only part of the message that comes from Groups.io is the numeric status code and the text one-liner. All the rest is boilerplate from the recipient's email service (often called "mailer daemon"). An improvement has been suggested in beta, but not acted on due to "reasons". You could chime in there in support of the suggestion. There are ways to mitigate the risk of backscatter, but probably not without using a DMARC-like scheme to authenticate incoming message posts, something that Groups.io has been reluctant to do (but I think they should).

Re: forms
#files
Lacking a built-in questionnaire function, I'd suggest sending a PDF fill-in form.
If you don't have Adobe Acrobat you can still take any existing PDF file and add text fields using online tools. One of them is (no affiliation). Some folks who use the Restricted method for Spam Control instead use the Pending Subscription notice to send a questionnaire. Responses go to the +owner address and can be reviewed later by clicking the "+owner Messages" button in their member record. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: Groups.io site updates
#changelog
Anita,
?
Does this mean that my members will be charged to use ? ?
Only if you (the group owner/moderator) decide to charge a fee for joining your group.
?
And, only if your group is on the Premium or Enterprise plan - this feature will not be available to Basic groups.
?
See the tentative help page for the feature here:
?
There are also some topics in the beta group discussing how it might work.
