I don't believe a rejection email is sent in this case.? They just drop off of the Pending list.

Re: Pending member automatically rejected after 14 days

 

If you have a basic (free) group, see these instructions in the wiki:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Inviting-new-members

If you have a Premium group, you can direct add her. Info on this page:

MIchael, you are so smart, but you are way above my understanding.? I am doing good to learn what I've learned so far and trying to give my members the information they need to learn how to move around in the group.

I will printed out what you are saying, and then I can check it out, later.

Thanks.

I put # before each word
Does that actually achieve anything? I suspect that the # is ignored

True. But it is clear to the reader of the group description in the directory that these are keywords, and not a disjointed sentence! But I will think about this.

Bruce, she was never a member, she was a pending member and the emails I sent were to her directly with my email information, etc., to reply to me.? So, don't think that would work.

Again, I will check out how to do the invite.

Thank you.

Re: Pending member automatically rejected after 14 days

Okay, you are saying I can send an invite, even though groups.io sent (supposedly) a rejection email to her and removed her from pending members?? Never sent an invite, but will look it up.

Thanks.

If you have a Premium group, Direct Add the desired email address, then delete the other one. Otherwise you will have to send an invitation.

The only thing is that the bouncing member may be using the email address in another group. I would check that with the member. See /g/GroupManagersForum/message/22473

The member can change their own email address too.?
?
Log into Groups.io.?
Note: If you don't have a password already, you can create one from the main Groups.io page or use one of the other options (email me a link, or log in with Facebook or Google).?
On the home page for your group, click on your name in the top right corner.
Click Account.
On the login page that appears, enter your new email address in the Email field (overwriting what is already there).
Click the Change Email button.
Look for the email message sent to the destination email address.
Click on the link in that email to complete the change.

Donors will be donating to the group where they use the Donations page/link.? I suspect all of the donations would go into 'one pot' unless you create a Stripe account for each group.? Hopefully, the Stripe account would specify which group it came from.

Non-member request to join sub-group subscribes only to parent group

 

I've sent a link out to https://[list-name].groups.io/g/[sub-group-name]? for people who are not yet groups.io members to join a sub-group. They are not yet members of the main group. The process throughout (e.g., web page, email confirmation) all refer to the sub-group name, but for a message saying they must first join the main group (though with no information about how to do so.) When they complete the process by confirming their email and adding a password, they are actually subscribed to the main group, and not the sub-group. But, with no notice to them that they've not actually been added to the sub-group, just the main group. So, they think they are done.

It would be a better user experience in this scenario (request to join sub-group by person who is not yet in main group) if they were added to both in a single operation.
Re: Question about donations: does donor need a Stripe account?

 

Does anyone know if it works with non-USA credit cards as well? I assume so, but it would be nice to have confirmation.

Also how does the group owner get the money from Stripe?

I have created a new page of the wiki that I hope those who have set up a donation page on Groups.io or have received them can review for accuracy and completeness.

You donate on the group's page. It is for the group. Groups.io does take a small cut. A percent or two. (Stripe takes a percent or two from Groups.io as well.)

Re: Photo Download Bug

 

Bruce,

I have the same issue in IE. When I wrote above, I didn't realize that "save target as" is saving the HTML page, not the photo.?

This bug only happens after I have used the search option to find the photo I want to download.

It happens in Chrome and IE

Re: Photo Download Bug

 

Bruce,

Thanks for your response. The browser is Chrome.
  • Bruce wrote: "Is nothing really happening, or is your browser just rendering the photo again in full-screen?"
  • Most of the time, the browser appears to render the photo again.
  • When I right click it, I get no option to save, or save as...funny thing is that on other sites in similar situations, I do get an option to SAVE in similar situations.
  • I tried IE and I get the option to "save target as"
  • I'll check for Chrome setting issues, but it is strange that I download a lot of things in Chrome and never have this issue on any other website.

Thank you.

Suppose one has several Premium groups, obviously already paid for.
Then apparently you can solicit contributions.

But, can donors specify which group the donation is to support or does it all go into one pot?

Could a number of donors send a few dollars each to support some particular group?
John -- Yes. In fact, that's pretty much all you can do with it.

This is a Premium-only feature. And no, you cannot redirect donations to groups.io in order to pay for Premium. You have to upgrade first.

More info at?. Please note that groups.io's percentage is now 5%, not 20%.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Re: Growing a group #promotion

 

I like that I can add keywords (I put # before each word) to my description.

I used white font (use the "hamburger" menu to open the advanced toolbar). The keywords show as black normal text on the search page for publicly accessible groups. But they don't show on my group homepage to mess up the look. Very cool!

You're right it does... sort of!

Having checked using a predictably productive search term it produced a reverse alphabetical list, but with lower case "z" as the top of the list; lower case "a" much further down, immediately followed by upper case "Z" with upper case A right at the "far end". Sort of weird, but harmless. It would take a lot to convince me that the order in which results are returned matters all that much.

I have also found that use of the wildcard designator * works, but in practice its use might prove less than helpful as it can force the inclusion of results that are completely irrelevant. I would certainly advocate against its use to find plural nouns; a search on "house" will not find houses (plural) and while a search on house* will find both singular and plural it will also return housewife, household, housefly, housemaid and so on if anyone has included those as keywords.
