It seems like my problem is that the moderator permissions were not property set? But though I found a way to create a moderator; I can find no instructions about how to set moderator permissions.You cannot set your own permissions. The Owner will have to open your subscription record and set that for you. See screenshot. This must be done separately for the main group and each subgroup. Bruce |

Plus they would probably still have the wrong contact saved already.I think the advice given the other day has real merit. Send a post or two to your members from the proper group address. That email address should be saved by their email client. And of course, they *can* look at the homepage of the group. The post email address is there.

You said that options for email receipt can be set independently on the subgroups versus main.?Yes, on a per subscriber basis. Did you mean that the subscriber/member can do that or that the moderator can do that or that the owner could do that.All of the above. An Owner (or Moderator with the "Set Member Subscription Options" permission) can open anyone's member record (Admin>Members) and change message delivery by clicking the appropriate box in the "Email Delivery" block. If you are a Moderator and can't do this, it's because you haven't been given that permission. Any subscriber can set?their own?email delivery preference by clicking on Subscription on the left-side menu bar, or by sending one of the email commands listed on the home page ([email protected], etc). There is no way to keep Subscribers from doing this, so there is no way to enforce a particular message delivery groupwide. Bruce |

Re: display name
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOn Premium groups, the owner or authorized moderators can change the display name of the member?for just?that group, and it doesn't change it for any other group. Of course the member can do this as well. I don't know if that resets if a member later changes their own display name in their personal settings.

Re: Group settings

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýBruce, ? You said that options for email receipt can be set independently on the subgroups versus main.? Did you mean that the subscriber/member can do that or that the moderator can do that or that the owner could do that. ? I am a moderator of my group DesertFlowers. ? What I have is a group with a ¡°Main¡± and a subgroup called ¡°init¡± ? Is that clear or do I need to say more to define the situation. ? I go into groups.io and get the following screen: ? ? ? If from main, I go to admin and select a member to manage, then go to that member, I see an email settings to select options in. ? ? But if I go into init subgroup, and there is no option for members, only an option to look at activity.? NO settings tab.? Nothing. How does one accomplish the independent setting of email receive settings that you indicated was possible? ? Is my question clear?? ? Richard ? ?

I read a thread that said that one could setup the main group to receive email and the subgroup to receive emails.?Um, yes. [S]o?I changed one of the members of the main group to receive no email and then went to the subgroup in the hopes of setting this person in the subgroup to receive emails, but there is no option for this.There should be. Enter the subgroup, open that person's member record (Admin>Members), and change his entry using the radio buttons in the Email Delivery block. So I'm trying to figure out the workaround.Digest/individual/etc are not group settings, they are subscription settings. There is no way to force everybody in a [sub]group to receive (for example) a digest. I hope this helps, because I really don't yet understand what you're trying to do. Bruce |
