Yes, that's the way it works here.? At one time, it was changed to attempt to actually download a photo, but it broke most (all?) of the browsers that use the Firefox base, so was reverted to this version.

Without turning this into a "me too" movement of a different sort, I'd like to add my voice to Sandy's. As a "tech dunce," the transition of our group of friends to Groups.io was almost seamless?and surprisingly effortless. Many thanks to the folks at GIO who jumped in and rescued us where the Yahooians threw us overboard.

Happy 2020 to all; may the year bring us some 20/20 clarity about our respective nations and the world in general.

Re: Save a picture from PHOTOS

 
Edited

On my Mac, I can download the photo (save image to downloads or somewhere else. / some other folder) Or add image to Photos. Or copy the address or the image. Or share.

But usually I want to put the photo in my Photos application.

It depends on what you mean by Private.? If you mean "private messages", no one but members can read the messages, but can find it in the site Directory, /search.? If you mean "Group not listed in directory", then no one can find it in the site Directory, so you'd have to use one of the methods Bruce mentioned.

June -- It's really pretty much the same for any group; the only thing the Private setting does is keep your group from showing up in the groups.io directory/search engine of available groups.

Four options:
  1. Go to?/g/GROUPNAME?and click the "Join This Group" button
  2. Send an email of any kind to [email protected]
  3. Respond to an invitation sent by you (/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Inviting-new-members)
  4. If your group is on the Premium payment plan, you can Direct Add people (/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Direct-Add-Members)
Regards,
Bruce

How does someone find and join a group which is currently listed as Private?? I have just set up a test group and need a few people to join for testing.? Do I need to send invites to all those I want to join for now?

Re: Message Approval Needed e-mails appearing on the main group

 

Frances

The john.doe section of the e-mail is the member who posted the message requiring approval.? All I have done is Reply and Send to the approval needed message.? Looking at their message activity it shows their postings, plus a line showing the approval by a moderator.

The work-round, as also mentioned by Bruce is to approve on the website, so I shall use that in future.

Thanks for the help
Steve M

Steve -- This is something of a guess, but...

There's a bug in the way btinternet handles emails sent to the +owner address. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/34125793#18881?for details.

When responding to a moderation message, be sure to select just Reply,?not Reply All. Or use the webmail interface for moderation activity.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Puzzling! The group should not see behind the scenes!
When ?moderating by email, you just need to click to reply to your email without adding anything.
And, a problem I have, be sure to select the correct email address for sending my blank reply.

Perhaps you are actually adding a new post inadvertently. Is the John.Doe address you?
Check out what is happening in Admin, Activity.?
And in John.Doe's account through Admin, Member, activity.

Are you trying to do this on mobile? Those icons will disappear if the screen width is too narrow.

This works fine on an iPad (9.7 inch) on both mobile and desktop version.?

But not on my iPhone 11, not in either orientation.?

Looks like we'll just have to live with that if we want to keep 'text only' status for our group.
Aren't the only places to choose plain text -
- in Admin, Settings, Attachments - and that doesn't affect the wiki tools

- and in your subscription - in Preferences - that does affect the wiki tools.
But it is only for just your own subscription, not the group.

At least I cannot find it.

There are these:
Force HTML Emails
Make all emails HTML and remove the plain text digest option. (doesn't affect the wiki editing tools)
?
Normalize HTML Emails
Strip all different fonts and colors from HTML emails. (doesn't affect the wiki editing tools)

Re: How do I unsubscribe from a group?

RickGlaz-WEB
 

Scroll all the way to the bottom of this message.
(Or your own last message if the links are not there.).)
(You seem to be using the "GROUPS.IO Web Poster" page.)

There are easy links to do things with your account at that location.

Barabara,

If you can't see the group when you are logged in, but are still receiving digests, then it would seem that the digests are from an account under a different email address.

Determine which email account that is and then log into that account and you should be able to change your setting to no emails or even leave that group.
