Re: RSVP [and the need to log in]
Hi folks,
I have used the RSVP feature for roughly four events a month since November and my subscribers still get confused about being logged on. What I think would help the most is that if they're not logged on and they click on "Click here to RSVP" in an email, that there be some kind of message that says, "You need to log on."? Then, just as importantly, once they've logged on, that they be returned to the RSVP page.? Right now they're not returned there, and they actually have to go all the way back to the email and click again on the link.? A bit convoluted... and not surprising that I've lost folks along the way. Anyone else have thoughts on this?? Thanks! Amy [subject line enhanced by moderator] |

Re: What are Subgroup Categories?
#subgroups
Thanks Bruce, I've found the appended category name on the subgroups. I poked around to see if the category was available for sorting, etc. and couldn't find it being used for anything. ?
Our group uses subgroups for the newsletter, board, committees and classes & retreats. ?Once the classes & retreats pass I lock them but now we have so many subgroups it's confusing. ?I guess I'll just try and capture the data and delete them. Gina |

Re: Drafts?
psb b,
Firstly, if you mean removed because of a spam report you should solve that problem. If you are resuming your subscription by way of the email notice sent to you then I'd say that your drafts should not be discarded in that case (as opposed to a member who deliberately unsubscribes or is removed from the group). You could make that a suggestion on beta. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: How do I allow direct subscription to a subgroup without requiring membership in parent group?

Someone else may have already said this.?? All subgroup members have to be a member of the main or parent group.? You cannot join into a subgroup unless you are a member of the parent group.

I have a "main group" that is a parent of "subgroup1".
I had someone try to subscribe to subgroup1 and they got a message they have to join main first. How do I configure so direct subscriptions are allowed to subgroup1? daniel lipkie |

Re: Adjusting sidebar
No, but there is an easy way to let them see it.? Under Admin > Settings, scroll way down toward the bottom and you can select a Wiki page to make sticky so that it shows at the top of the Messages pages.? Since it takes some space, some folks just make it a pointer to the Wiki Home page.? You also have the option of asking on the beta group, the official suggestion box for the site, for the ability to rearrange the left menu.

Would it be in connection with being unsubscribed and re-subscribing? It all happened at the same time.Ah, the plot thickens... Drafts are group-specific. If you're unsubscribed -- intentionally or via the "removed for spam" mechanism or whatever -- it makes sense that any pending drafts would be deleted. Also, any way to find it again somewhere???Not that I'm aware of. Regards, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

daniel,
?
How do I configure so direct subscriptions are allowed to subgroup1? ?
Marcio is correct: You don't.
?
It is a fundamental aspect of subgroups that only members of the primary group can be a member of a subgroup.
?
To decouple the membership you would have to create a separate group. As far as I know there is no way to convert a subgroup to a separate group, or to transfer members/contents between groups (subgroup, primary, or separate).
