Re: White-listing a group

 

I added [email protected]?to the Safe List for Comcast and suddenly I received no emails at all.
I clearly reversed the setting.

It's not the "wiki on IO" but the "wiki on GMF" (i.e. the wiki on the GroupManagersForum group).

The GMF wiki pages:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/home

And you can also search the other wiki pages that are not linked to from that wiki home page, by using the Search field at the top.

In addition, the official help pages are here:

The GMF wiki can be found at?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/home.

Lots of useful information there, so click to your heart's content!

If you have both messages coming to your inbox, your email provider may have filtered it out as a dupe. To be sure that the post actually arrived, look in your online message archive.

I don't use Comcast myself, but googling for this problem suggests that
adding the group's address to your address book can also do a lot of good.

I confirm that this Chrome/Vivaldi extension works:


It creates and stores separate sessions in the browser, which can be accessed by clicking the extension's icon. It looks like one can also keep two sessions open simultaneously in two tabs, and switch between them without having to log in and out all the time.

Does anyone know of other extensions that does this?

Peter, Frances and others -
I appreciate your efforts, and your desire to reduce the traffic here is quite admirable.
?
The problem with this message is that the ones who really could use it haven't found GMF yet. If you watch the repetition of questions you'll note a few instances where someone has answered a question and the exact same question is asked again the same day. Newbies show up and don't bother to read past posts or look for answers. Too many of them just shoot from the hip and think they're the first ones to ever have run into these things.
?
Such a post might be much more useful if it went out to people who establish new groups or to group owners when they initiate a transfer. But Mark would have to add it to the process for those events.

White-listing a group

Chuck -- Some basic information must appear in the invitation/direct add messages; otherwise it could be tailored for phishing purposes just to entice someone to click on the subscription link. To my knowledge Mark has not shared all the legal-beagle details.?

If you do not specify a name in the list of e-mails, then it'll say "Hello," and nothing else.

Re: What is my "profile" exactly? If set to "public" how can I see what the public version looks like?

 

On 13 Nov 2019 17:44, Benjamin Slade wrote:

* Is it only information on my "Account Profile" which is made public?
When I set my own group profile to public, I can see the following when not logged in:

Photo
Display Name
User Name
Joined date
Location
Web site
Link to all messages by me
My "bio"

So, additional information that is visible are the date that you joined and a link to all messages posted by you (if such messages can be viewed by the public). And your chosen privacy setting is not visible.

* Will people be able to contact me if I make my profile public?
Only if you put your contact details in your "bio". You can put your e-mail address in the bio, and make it a hyperlink, if you want to.

* Can I see what my profile looks like to the public?
Yes. Make it public, and visit it using a different browser. The URL is: /g/<groupname>/profile/@<profilename>

* Is there a way to search for public profiles?
Fortunately (or unfortunately) not. From the home page, you can search for groups, but not for people. If the group's messages are public, then members of the public can visit the group's messages and search for a person by name (but not by e-mail address or by profile name).

Re: Yahoo deleted our group

 

That was only on the group owner's page, so it shouldn't be an issue here. Groups.io has the same ability at the bottom of the settings page.

Unfortunately, there's no way to find out what happened and no way to report the problem. This seems to be typical of Yahoo - they really don't want their people involved. Users should just use the system and read the ads, and if it doesn't work, they really don't care. Just one more important reason why people seem to appreciate groups.io; support is real and can be reached when things go sideways.

Dano

----- Original Message -----

Yahoo had an evil ¡°delete this group¡± button in a location that was much too easy to access in error and was followed by a not terribly obvious <are you certain you want to delete this group> notice. Add a little distraction or cat on your keyboard and your group could go poof.

RSS Feed Integrations #integration

Hi~?

I set up our group's RSS integration to work with our blog's RSS feed. But when we had a new post go out, it was not sent in the groups.io messages. Am I missing something?

Thank you!

Duane,

They do not show up later, and they are not shown as bouncing.

Comcast (as well as Outlook) has an annoying habit of delaying emails from groups.io on a regular basis, but they usually show up in a day or so.? Do any of them ever show up for you?? Have you checked you email history on that group to see if they're being bounced?

Re: Sending Invite

 

While I understand the need for some automation here, why are there items in the boilerplate message that I cannot change?? As a paying member, I should be able to customize more of the message.? I do not care for the order of the boilerplate message (it does not flow properly to me) and I really hate the ¡°Cheers, The "My Group" Team" signature.? Why should the signature be chosen for me?

Also, where does the [Name] information pull from when doing a batch of invitations if no name is included.? Does the invitation just come out with [Name]?

Thanks,
