Is that because my owner email address is through gmail?

No, it's because you disabled those tools in Settings.

No, it will not.?

Go to Admin>Invite. In the "Invitation to be Sent" block, you'll see that an invitation consists mostly of canned wording from groups.io ("Hello [Name], blah blah blah"). This boilerplate?cannot be changed. All you can do is insert your own custom message into the middle of it (i.e.: type something into the "Customize Message" block and you'll see). This custom message can be manually typed into the editor as needed, or you can select from any number of pre-defined templates, by pulling down the Notices menu within the same block and selecting one.

Now go to Admin>Settings and click on the "Member Notices" button at the top of the resulting page. You populate your group's pre-defined invitation templates here, by creating?a series of Member Notices of type "Invite." This is done in the same editor that you would use for a message. Give them each a different name so you know what scenario each is intended to be used for...but again, they all must be of type "Invite."

Any Member Notice of type "Invite" that you've defined will subsequently be available in the pick-list at the time you send an invitation. You do not need to make them "active"...and indeed, you'll find no such checkbox if you try.?

Those having Premium/Enterprise groups will encounter similar behavior for their Member Notices of type "Direct Add."

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I’m doing the “#10” option for a group as a) no one can afford the fees and b) the group owner disappeared several years ago and none of the mods has the correct privileges.?

We’ve downloaded the files and finding this is a great opportunity to review and update information and links. As a scientific evidence based group review is important but often neglected. Will download archives and search them to locate and preserve “important” discussions which we can collate into file articles.

While we’re saddened to not keep all personal commentary visible we do appreciate we’re able to continue the discussion format while avoiding the fluff encountered on other platforms on similar topics.?

Sarah, I am assuming the member signed up for it.

However she can leave the group.
At the foot of each message is an unsubscribe button.

Hi,
One of the members of a Group I own (Somerset-list) is receiving emails from the GroupManagersForum.? She has never signed up for it and is totally mystified .? Any ideas what happened?? Is this something that more members are going ask about.

The two have no bearing on each other. Summary affects outgoing messages, moderation affects incoming.?

To clarify, do you mean I can just create a customized member notice instead of using the option of Invitations, and it will work? Folks will be accepted by groyps.io?

I have a member on Summary.? What happens when I put that member back on Moderation?

Now that I can't explain; perhaps someone else can.

Curiously, though, when I post on beta the composition window I get lacks those as well. (It may also lack others but not having required them I haven't really noticed.)

Bonnie,

There is an FAQ on moving from Yahoo Groups in our GMF wiki.
Start with that.
There's info about having the Groups.io transfer agent move your group - but with a paid premium group.
Or scroll down and get some suggestions about doing it with a free group.
Also links to the official page on doing a transfer with the transfer agent and a couple of GMF member-created guides with screenshots.

To be clear though, you must be an owner or be a moderator with billing privilege and the power to promote someone in your Yahoo Group in order to use the transfer agent.

Is your own subscription set to Plain Digest? If so, change it to Full Featured Digest.

You can save your customized notice.

Just scroll down the page and save it. Click on Update Notice.
Be sure to activate it - make the one you want the active notice. Check box above the text box.

I click on the “hamburger” and it gives me a second line of tools - but it doesn’t include the font size and selection of fonts.

I send personal invitations. ?I know how to customize the default invite, but there is no way to save it. ?So I was wondering if, instead if using that invitation template, can I use a member notice instead. ?Will that work so the invitee is accepted into the group? ?Thanks for your help.
