Re: Approve and unmoderate senders not working
I had the same problem initially, not to mention the part time mods in my three groups who also got confused...
The problem is semantics me thinks.? The button is named "Approve & Unmoderate Member" and therein lies the problem because it must be interpreted differently by GIO than what I initially thought it meant. To me and plenty of others I'm sure, "unmoderating" a member means setting them to always not-moderated regardless, they can post freely all they want, I vetted them and I'm done with moderating them, and I don't want the group's moderation setting to get in the way, hence I will set them to "P - Override: not-moderated", which does have an uncanny resemblance to "unmoderated".? So the first few times I used that button I was under the impression it did just that, auto-set them up as "P".? But that's not what the code does, it sets them up with the default group mod setting, which, if it is Unmoderated, then they in effect end up being the same (more or less) as the "P" setting.? But if the group is setup as moderated, then it doesn't work, and you still get the pending messages from them until you go to their settings and manually set it to "P".? In one case it's a single-step process, on the other a two-step process. The same thing happens with the NuM setting, it also gets changed to the group default, I'm sure it's the same code block that does it.. So obviously the simplest fix could be to change the button caption to something else instead of "Unmoderate", to indicate to the mod that they are setting the default group? setting, not "P". But, there is a value in having the group default as moderated (to ensure nothing falls through the cracks, especially when dealing with part-time mods who sometimes are not very computer-savvy) and after vetting folks, setting them to "P" and letting them loose, so a "Approve and set to "P" or whatever button would be nice. Or maybe modify the code to be group-setting aware, and either set to default if group is unmoderated or "P" if moderated, then the current button caption would be less confusing/misleading, and it would work the same under both group moderated settings.

Re: Weird things hapening with GIO emails
The whole rr.com domain is the culprit from what I see. If you watch your
emails from the group, you will see the received and posted times differ quite a bit. I've had mail show up over a day and a half behind. Other sources seldom have more that minutes between the sent and received times. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team |

Finding help for you and your members
#howtoguide
Many of you know this but I hope you will indulge me if I give everyone a reminder.
On GMF, there is a help wiki that is readable by all, including those without Groups.io accounts.? There is information for members (how to join, how to login, how to change passwords, spam, etc.) and help for group owners and moderators (setting up your group, dealing with bouncing, inviting members, screening new members, and more). There is a table of contents as well as a very useful search box at the top of the screen on each page.? /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/home Frances -- Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)

Re: Searching for Photo Albums

If you locate a photograph by means of a search then the album containing it will be revealed just above the display of the photo itself. By way of example: The above Photo was found by searching "my" group using L557; now look at the pale blue bar above it. At the right hand end is the photo "name" (L557_01.jpg). To the immediate left of that is the Album Name (Larkspur 3 (Indexed)) which is a link, even if it isn't in the above screen shot. Clicking that link will take you to the album containing that photo. Does that help a bit? Chris |

Guys, can we see on which message this is reply, like it was at yahoo groups?A message within a topic of more than one message will have something like this below it: Click the front/back arrows to page through each message in turn, or on the text itself to see all messages in that topic. Messages display in order of arrival (or if moderated, order of approval). To the best of my knowledge, groups.io does not attempt to build a binary tree or linked list of messages within a topic, based on message in-reply-to header information. Thus it is necessary for each reply to provide some quoted text to provide this context. I'm not convinced that Y!G ever did this, either. In any event, it sure doesn't now.

How to schedule when a Member Notice goes out?
Hi folks, I've searched the "help" until I can't see straight. But I can't find the answer to my questions: How do you activate a monthly member notice?? That is, after you set it up, how do you send it out? What does "monthly" mean -- that it will automatically go out a month from when you set it up? ? Thanks, |
