Re: Is it possible to edit a subject?
#messages
Yes, you can edit a subject. Go to her post on the group website, and use the dropdown menu.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Editing-a-message-or-topic You can also split or merge posts in a thread.?

If you do want responses, you could use the Moderated attribute so you'd need to approve them. For this situation, you could Split the response to a new topic, giving it the subject line related to her, then lock that topic (and yours.)?

Rather than owner, you should make the additional people moderators and give them most permissions.? As long as you don't give them "Modify Group Settings" or "Set Moderator Privileges" you should get what you want. Only moderators or owners see that.? Moderators would need the "Billing" permission to see it. Being a member of the main group in order to join a subgroup is a function of the way Groups.io works.? To avoid this, you could create another group for the second, smaller group to make them totally independent.? Members can set their email preferences for each group and subgroup separately.? No need for members of the subgroup to get any messages from the main group if they don't want to.? They could set it to No Email if you allow that on your group or Special Notices if you don't. As an aside, many of us have created an account for our group that only has member privileges so we can see what regular members see.? This can be handy when you have questions about things like this.

Re: message from Owner but with personal name

As to your earlier point I was still trying to understand the GIO history on why this hasn¡¯t been addressed in the 18 months since Chris raised it when this happened, .the only answer I can provide is that some suggestions catch Mark's eye fairly easily; others don't. In reality there seem to be a lot of perfectly valid suggestions that fall by the wayside. If and when the dust settles I'll try to raise it again on beta.Well, for some functions you will probably have to wait forever owed to the huge volume of inquiries. So as far my groups are concerned, I found a temporary solution by creating a new member with owner adress (email and alias). So, if I want an owner message without my personal name showing up, I log in with this new member?s address. My moderators were provided with the new address and password as well, so they can use it if it is indicated. Victoria |

Perhaps a new feature request (the request to be submitted to beta, probably in 2020) would be to promote a designated Moderator (or Moderators) to Owner, if no Owner has logged in 30 days (or some other defined time)...This has been discussed in the past.? I believe the subject originally came up 4 years ago in and got mingled in to the thread at 2 years ago.? A new topic, next year, is probably a good idea.? Hopefully something could be implemented that would satisfy everyone.
