Tagging Members in a Post #tag

Is it possible to tag a group member on a New Topic or a response to a topic?

They can always go to the message section of?your group to see how many messages were sent on that day.
That is where the digests bring you anyway. They can read the messages from the group's message area directly if they are worried they are missing a digest or not getting all of the messages.

Subject: [GMF] Digest Delivery Timing
?
Hi All,
My group is going through a short quiet spell and one of the members who is on Digest was worried that he was having a delivery problem. I posted that there were no messages for 3 days. Yet while I was checking on this I was not able to find the time period between delivery of Digests, it does say up to 12 messages per Digest, I've received digest with less than 12.

On a slow day, is there a time when a short digest is generated or is it random?

Thanks,
Paul, Ohio, USA

Unfortunately, the groups.io editors strip many inline styles upon save, no matter how benign. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/31023224?for a recent thread on this topic.

Rumor has it that groups.io uses the bootstrap system of CSS. So if you sort through that (see bootstrap.css in the GMF files area?and ) you should be able to apply an existing class to a tag in your wiki and have it "stick."?It seems unlikely that the same thing would work in a message, as bootstrap styles will not be available to outgoing emails.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

HTML table styling not working

 

I want to use an HTML table in a wiki page.? So I used the source code editing feature of the page editor to add the table.? That worked fine.? To make the table look better, I added a style attribute to the table element.? When I clicked OK in the source code editor dialog, the styling appeared in the page being edited.? But when I clicked the Save Page button, and the page returned to normal view, the style attribute was stripped out.? So my styling was lost.

How can I style a table in a message or wiki page?

Thanks,
Dennis

It is certainly?not random. From the system Help:

"Full Featured Digest?will group the day's messages into batches of 12 and send each batch when the twelvth is posted. Any that remain at the end of the day will be sent as the final (or only) digest of the day."
?
Of course, if no messages are posted, nothing is sent.?

As for exactly when a "day" rolls over (i.e.: midnight in which time zone), I can't tell you that for sure. I tend to get my digests around 2 AM EDT. Your mileage may vary, void where prohibited, objects in mirror may be closer than they appear.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Kent -- There are often several ways to join a group, e.g.:

-- Send a "subscribe" email to the group address, or
-- Click on the "join this group" button in the group home page, or
-- Have someone Direct Add you to a Premium group,
etc.

Open the subscriber's member record (Admin>Members) and click on the "Activity History" button at the top of the resulting page. The oldest entry (you may have to click on the "Created" link at top right to invert the sort order) will tell you exactly how this person managed to subscribe.

If he joined without responding to your Invite, his invitation will remain in "Sent" status indefinitely.

How to fix?
If it bothers you, the easiest way to fix it is to return to Sent Invitations, click on the adjacent checkbox and select "Cancel/Remove Invite" from the Actions pull-down menu at the bottom of the page.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Hi?

I have sent invitations for my group to about 14 people. One of the members has accepted but he still shows as sent in the sent invitations window. How to fix?

Re: Banning by IP Address

 

Just FWIW . . .

Another option is for a member who is a 'disturber' to have his posting privileges set to 'Moderated' status or to 'No Post' status as a means to control any undesirable disturbance posts s/he might make. It also sends a reasonably clear message to that member.

They're not supposed to be case sensitive:

Bruce,
Thanks for the answer :)
Actually, I hope I don't need to ban anyone at all, nor by email nor by whatever it may be, but as I said, one never knows.
Anyway, I feel being a group owner is going to be an interesting adventure for me.

I was getting ready to post about the inaccuracy of attributing IPs to users and then I noticed that Shal said it perfectly: /g/GroupManagersForum/message/16334 .

There aren't even robust ways of matching geography (a much wider target) to IP.

Best,

Glenn

Re: Banning by IP Address

 

Hello, you have to write to Mark about this. The address to do so is below. For you, most people only want to band via member.

"Groups. io" <[email protected]>


[mod note: support is for bugs. Ban by IP would be a feature suggestion, more appropriate to beta - the suggestion box:

Are hashtags case sensitive?

 

We have an admin-created hashtag of #pool (current hot topic in 55+ community whether to allow grandkids unlimited use -- oh boy). Member says that when someone posted with #Pool that it didn't Mute. I don't find whether hashtags are case sensitive although we have a hashtag of #forsale and #ForSale doesn't cause any complaints.

Thanks,

I've had a few members change their display name to match the @username they have set (even though that doesn't seem to be used anywhere). I just edit the membership record on the main group and reset the display name as necessary.
