How do you change the "Feed" group image
I have gotten in the habit of using the Groups.io "feed" to quickly review messages in all the groups to which I subscribe. But the group I own like many has this default elephant image.? Some groups have managed to change that.? Is this a premium feature? If not where would I as a group owner change the image to something more appropriate?

Re: Question about a texting function
There is a chat function, but not texting
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Chat-Overview There was a discussion in Beta some time ago - with a reply from Mark saying texting could be added, but as part of a paid group (service?) Mark is looking for beta testers for an iPhone app. Not sure what functionalities will be available. Frances -- Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)

Issue replying to Full Digest with required hashtags
#bouncedemails
#reply-to-group
Hello all,
I help maintain a list of over 2,000 members, recently migrated over from Yahoo groups. One of our members recently brought to my attention that there seems to be an unusual issue replying to messages in a Full Digest when a hashtag is required. Our subgroups requires hashtags or the message will bounce, and when someone clicks "reply to group" in a Full Digest under some topics, the hashtag is not automatically carried over, so the message bounces.? Has anyone else noticed this? It doesn't appear to happen with all topics, so I think perhaps the hashtag only gets stripped from those topics initiated via web, while emailed topics maintain the hashtag. The only workaround I could suggest to the poster was to look at the hashtag in the topic summary, copy it over, and paste it into the reply subject line when replying via email. But this seems like a design flaw. If anyone else has noticed this and has suggestions or a workaround, or know if Groups.io is aware of this particular issue, I'd appreciate you letting me know. Thanks! |

I tested it by changing the main group's name from "main" to "original" before deleting the sole subgroup, and the main group's domain-style name remained intact this time. Still, it is unexpected that a main group named "main" would lose its name. Samuel |

On the Settings page, scroll down to the Message Formatting area and look for the section labeled Subject Tag.? It will have your current choice, so just add -gio to it, then scroll down to Update Group.

Deleting all subgroups causes main group name to revert
Hello
Okay, I had to test this out because it wasn't clear what would happen.? I created a subgroup for my test group, and then later I deleted the subgroup again (so that there were no more subgroups).? Unexpectedly, the main group's name then got reverted back to the original original name, and it appears as if I can no longer send e-mails to the main group's domain-style e-mail address.? This is either a bug or something that ought to be communicated more clearly. So, this means that if I have "[email protected]"?and I create a subgroup called "one",?and rename the main group from "main" to "two", and I then delete the subgroup, mails can no longer be sent to "[email protected]" and must be sent to "[email protected]" again.? Essentially this means that one must always keep at least one dummy subgroup alive in order to maintain the domain-style group e-mail address.? Is that right? The impression I got from the help files is that the group address change after creating a subgroup is non-reversible. Samuel |
Possible to display [groupname-gio] in subject line?
Is it possible to change the group settings so that [groupname-gio] is displayed? in subject line of group emails rather than [groupname ]? There was an option like that in YGs but I cannot find it here. It would be to help members distinguish mail coming from various versions of one of my groups, from the original YG as well as a similar google group. Linda N

Any ideas?These errors are common with charter, rr, and a few other email services.? As was mentioned yesterday, a 4xx code (452 and 421) is considered a soft bounce.? For whatever reason (or none) the service has delayed accepting the message.? GIO will attempt to send the message again later.? The only way to avoid it is for the member to use another email service that doesn't do it.? GIO is still 'small' compared to Google and Yahoo, but as it grows and its reputation becomes better known, these interruptions should become more limited. BTW, I have limited knowledge of this, so I hope Lena or one of the other email gurus will correct me if/when I make a mistake.

The only special criteria that I am aware of is that members of the sub-group must also belong to the main group. In other words, when you are looking at the main group, you see archives and photos and so on only for that group. You have to change to viewing the sub-group if you want to see archives and photos,and so on of the sub-group. -- Gerald |
