Or create a notice of type Monthly Reminder and set it as active.? You can't actually send the contents of a file like you could on YG, so you have to include the text wanted or a link to a file.

I think I figured it out.? The sidebar doesn't like Markdown.? It seems to accept the information, but isn't translating it properly, resulting in what you're seeing.? Markdown seems to work fine on regular pages though.? I'd report it to [email protected] as a bug.? For now, you can get around it by using html to create the sidebar.

One other note.? I originally created a sidebar using html, then tried to add to it after changing my preference to markdown.? Instead of the markdown toolbar, I got the html version.? I deleted the sidebar, recreated it it using markdown, and got the bad results.? It looks like whatever you use initially will become the default for it, but I'm not sure if that's really wrong.

With my group up against the free storage limit, I find a lot of duplicate photos stored
due to a reply to a message that had a photo attached.

This is a common problem. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/32652796?for a recent discussion.

I find no way to avoid including the photo when replying, but I'm sure there is a way.

Using the GIO web interface, simply do not quote that portion of the original message.?Using your email client, the methods differ widely...there is no single answer.?

I can always delete the duplicates periodically but it is time consuming.
How to avoid storing the duplicates?

Groups.io has no way to determine if an incoming photo was sent intentionally or inadvertently. Even a dupe can be intentional.

You could put all messages with attachments on moderation (Admin>Settings>Message Formatting>Attachments) and delete any dupes before they post. Otherwise, there is no way to keep this from happening, and you will have to continue to clean things up after the fact.

You mean like the one you just got?!

I haven't set it up myself but we do have a wiki page on it.
Why not review that and then ask. Those who set up GMF's or another can answer your questions.
Hope this helps on this holiday.

Here was my process:
Created pages covering Various Topics (about 30 as of now)
Created Main Topic pages (8 of them) and linked each of the Various Topic pages to the appropriate Main Topic pages.?
Created a Side Bar with text describing the 8 Main Topics and then linked each of the 8 Main Topics to the appropriate Side Bar text entry.?

Vince,

I have visited this group and marked my subscription for "No Mail",
but the emails keep coming in.

If you're still having this problem, check the bottom of the footer of one of the messages. That will show the subscribed email address next to the Unsubscribe link. You may have more than one subscription to the group in question, and haven't turned off the active one.

Keith,

Today I got a message that a post needed to be approved. When I went
to approve, all the choices were blocked (the little red circle with
the slash through it appeared in each block.

Hopefully you've resolved this by now.

In the Pending list you must put a checkmark by one or more pending messages before you can take any action on them. Trips me up all the time, it is why I almost always open the messages rather than approved directly from the list.

Jim,

But some...like perhaps 15-20 (I'm not counting) have contacted me and
said they sent email notices to get a digest, but that they're still
getting every single message.

For the command to take effect they must receive and respond to a confirmation email from Groups.io. That was also true of Yahoo Groups, but still it trips people up.

If the DOWNLOAD button is not going to download anything, then it should offer the user a dialog box to follow rather than assuming they can figure out what to do next.? Most of my members are in their 80's and don't share all the current "high-tech" lingo or intuitivity but still might want to save a pic.
Just saying...
Chuck

As I mentioned I figured out that those 'missing' formatting function buttons don't display because we have our group set to text only. And I see that this extends to the Wiki Page formatting, too.

Your own preferences for your own account don't affect the group settings.

Just change (at least for testing purposes ) in your Account (your name, top right corner). Website Preferences.
This is just a change for your account. You can try to see if you can do what you want and then change it back!?
Will only affect you.

I just tried. Made some text red, chose fonts, etc.
Then changed it back in my own preferences to plain text. It stuck. I can still see the nice formatting!

BTW, I am using a MacBook Pro too, 13 inch - OS 10.15.2
Safari - Version 13.0.4?

GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

Paul M.,

Apparently my group's message formatting choice of 'text only' DOES
affect the Wiki Editor.

Not reproduced in my test group.

Changing your Editor Preference on the Preferences page of your Account /will/ affect the creation of new Wiki pages (sets the format of that page).

Clicking on the hamburger menu to show advanced formattng in the Wiki
Editor for a Home page I created shows a second line of formatting but
that line is missing the dropdowns for font, points (size), and for
text color, and highlighting (background color).

I think this may relate to screen width, as Bruce suggested.
