Many folks, including me, read our groups online, so don't want to receive most emails.? There are lots of other options available to them as well - follow only, first message, etc.? You could attempt to control this setting, but you can't prevent a member from changing it.

how long will it last with a tag group?If you're not using Photos or Files, you can get an estimate pretty easy.? Go to Photos, then look to see how many are in the Emailed Photos folder (first one shown.)? Divide that into the space used (419 MB in this case) to find out about how much space each consumes.? Then divide THAT number into the remaining space (581 MB here) to see about how many more you can expect to store before the space gets full.? Some will be larger and some smaller, so this is only an estimate.? From what I've seen (not much) tags take about 1 MB each, more or less.

Re: Over-quoting versus under-quoting
Jim,
I think the "over-quoting/piggybacking" controversy and theAnd like top versus bottom posting, it is often strongly related to the default behavior of one's email interface. By which I mean that many users don't bother to do something better than the default. In Groups.io under-quoting (non-quoting, actually) is often related to replying online via the Reply link in the group - where the default action by the site is no quoting. Early on I argued strenuously (and unsuccessfully, in beta) that this default would be acceptable only if the display of a Topic were hierarchical, or otherwise directly revealed the message this one is "In-Reply-To". An indented list or other hierarchy is often used in web forums; even Yahoo! Groups classic had its own take on it: <> Conversely, over-quoting (infinite bottom-quoting, actually) is often related to replying via email. There does need to be a balance and I do not see that. In fact, I seeIf you mean this moderator, that's because over-quoting is so much easier to correct while pending. Correcting a no-quote is so much work I may have done it only once. And then only because the message content was important in context. /g/GroupManagersForum/message/8154 On the other hand, coaxing in the form of message rejection might not be such a bad thing for egregious cases.

Re: Time zone is wrong

It is thus each subscriber's responsibility to correctly set up his own time zone. You can change your own time zone at?/account?page=prefs. This makes it possible for a calendar event to initially be set up in (say) EDT by someone in New York and display at the correct time in PDT for someone in Los Angeles. In theory, anyway, that's how it's supposed to work. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: Time zone is wrong
Bob,
Have you checked your subscription? Left menu on your group.? You can set your time zone there.? Also in the calendar, if you scroll down, there is a dropdown menu for setting the time zone. If it isn't working properly, then you could report it. You might try the Beta group (in Groups.io) which Mark monitors.

Hi - I am a member of a group.? The time zone has been set for the wrong time zone since I joined but I don't know how to change it.? Meetings, etc entered as EDT (correct) are changed to PDT on my calendar.? Same for times for messages being posted. Our group administrator did not know why this happened or how to fix it.
