Re: Email addresses
Lawrence,?
My email (Apple Mail) does that for me - made rules in iCloud. What email client are you using? You could rejoin some groups with different email address, if you wish. Then cancel the subscriptions that are duplicates. But then you lose the ability to see the activity of all your groups on one page - On the group site of one, go to Your Groups, Manage Your Subscriptions at the bottom of the list. Choose Feed. Do you need to get every email from all of your subscriptions? There is a neat way to use the Advance Subscriptions to just get the first email from any thread. When you get the email, if it interests you, click on follow. There are more options to manage the amount of email.

Those with a real need to share print-quality images should be encouraged to upload their photos to cloud storage (Google Drive or some such) and send a link instead. Also, if I set it at strip attachments in emails will that just delete the attachment but let the post through?Exactly right. What I don't know is whether anything is added to the message body to notify anyone that it once contained an attachment and why it was removed. Probably not. Regards, Bruce |

Re: What is the best practice for Pending Subscription notices for a restricted group
#membershipapplication
#membernotices
Frances, thank you for the wiki page. However, I've been testing this today and I am seeing a slightly different sequence of events.
I have a restricted group and an active Pending Subscription notice. When someone applies for membership through the group home page, they receive both?the automatic confirmation and the Pendiing subscription notice. The receipt of those two messages occurs without the member or the moderator taking any action or responding to any message. I thought that the Pending Subscription notice is not sent until after the user confirms their email address. But that doesn't match what I'm seeing. For the purpose of these tests, I'm being both the prospective member and the moderator so that I can control the test. Jesse |

Created subgroups just last night.? Today created new group, with permissions to create subgroups limited to owner-moderators.
When I go to Create New Subgroup dialog, enter data, then click Create Subgroup, nothing happens. If I go to Management->Subgroups the banner says in red "You do not have permissions to access that page" If I go to Management->Subgroups a second time, it simply says "There are no subgroups". ? Did Subgroup creation suddenly break today?? Help. |

I have no solution, but if your group has less than 1000 members, can you not export the list of members to CVS and then send them all invites to your new group? You'll lose your archives and files, but you'll keep your members.

Re: Adding question to +join group
I've advocated for a good process to vet potential members before they join.
No action was taken - perhaps due to the vocal protests of a few who somehow saw it as a threat to non-Restricted groups?... Maybe after the 'great YahooGroups migration' is over, January 2020?, a successful pitch can be made in the beta group (Groups.io suggestion box). or This is the workaround that I use: /g/GroupManagersForum/message/20168 |

I tested this - it works for restricted groups. It doesn't work for "direct adds" or invites. |
