Win -- Short answer:? Bookmark the page in your browser and use that to come back next morning. Longer, more technical answer:? If you look at the URL displayed in the address bar of your browser, the query string (part after the question mark) will increment by your "items per page" setting as you advance through the list. In your case there should be a "600" as the next-to-last entry in that string...this tells groups.io to start displaying attachments at the 600th entry (base zero addressing). If you look at this sequence of comma-separated values, the first is the items per page, the second represents the sort key, the third the starting record, and I don't know what the fourth is. Try entering different numbers and see what happens. Bruce |

navigating page numbers
开云体育I’m in the section for viewing attachments? (upgrade > view attachments), I’m working my way through from oldest to newest. I’m about to go to bed and will be closing down the computer. Is there any way to jump to this same page when I start again tomorrow? I’m currently on page 31 and don’t want to have to start at page 1 again and click? on the arrow to advance one page at a time to get back to 31. Hopefully Win |

Enterprise Group site unavailable after small change?
#bug
So I wanted to remove the ability for users to be able to request access to our enterprise groups from the main page.? I unchecked the box that seemed to be able to accomplish this and now our site is unavailable?? I have cleared my cookies and all other browsing data, also checked on mobile and other browsers.? An email to the support last night has gone unanswered.? Can anyone else see our groups?? Is there anything that I can do to get it back up and running?? ?

Your point about "not understanding the concept..." has some validityNo, I don't think it's fair to expect of potential users to have a specific type of computer skill before they're allowed to join. Though obviously, moderators love users who are able to help themselves. Not everyone who uses computers every day knows much about computers. One problem is that users who struggle, often do not ask for help. When such users hit a barrier, they simply abandon their attempt to join, which means that the value of their participation is lost to the group. Just how basic do people want Groups.io to be?I know that that was meant as a rhetorical question, but allow me to answer it: this simple: all you need, is to send mails.

Re: Custom Invite Question
My experience with invites is that the invitee wants to know the the invite is real and not spam. If you use a generic email address and name they question if the invite is real. I put my real name and even my phone number. Even then I will get a call to check to see if it is real.

An invitation assumes that you've already checked people out and wantNo, I disagree. An invitation is simply a way to facilitate joining the group. The fact that you "invite" someone doesn't mean that you know them or that you have already vetted them or that you already know everything about them. In fact, it's often better to invite before vetting, because you don't know in advance if the person will accept the invitation, and if they don't, then you've wasted the time spent on vetting. A common invitation scenario is when someone hears about the group from someone else, and then that person requests that you send the person an invitation. This means that the invited person does come with some kind of recommendation, but it doesn't yet mean the person is now vetted. Another common scenario is when someone wants to join but struggles to understand how to join. Not everyone understands the concept of issuing commands to a server by sending mail to special kinds of addresses. If you need to do more pre-checking, you'll need to do it beforeYes, that is the way Groups.io currently forces us to do it, but that does not make it logical or ideal. Samuel |

An invitation assumes that you've already checked people out and want them on your group, so acceptance allows them in.? If you need to do more pre-checking, you'll need to do it before sending an invitation.? You could send an email (from a personal/club/business address) with a link to join the group, then use the Pending Subscriber notice to ask specific questions when they apply. To "fix" the From problem, you can temporarily change your Display Name to something like Owner, send the invitations, then change it back.? I know of several people that have done this.?

Deleting it wouldn't make any sense because there'd be no place for attachments to be stored (or it would be recreated when a new one came in.)

Re: Disable or Hide "Emailed Photos" Library
#question
Hi Duane,
Thank you for your response. Is there a method for submitting enhancement requests? With all due respect, disabling attachments at the global group settings is not an acceptable solution to this. As an administrator, I should be able to choose which albums are visible, or not. I can delete any albums I create - admins should be able to either delete or hide any album(s) altogether. -JeffH |

Re: Groups.io navigation (was Calendar time problem)
WRB,
> In Sandy's case (and mine), we didn’t understand that the word > “Account” as used by Frances was an unintended “code word” for > whatever we had named our “Account”. We're a bit into the weeds now, but yes there was an unspoken assumption that readers would see that their name/address in the upper right corner is a menu, and that Account would be an item in the menu. One of the myriad places where a screen shot is worth a thousand words: > As I said “there was confusion" (on my part).? I was able to mentally > figure out what you said on my own.? Got it! Maybe that speaks to a need for an introductory page in GMF's wiki about basic navigation, illustrating the main areas and what to look for. > Aren't “User account”,?“subscriber account”?and?“member account” the > same, as opposed to?“group/owner account”? I used "User account" as a generic - regardless of what role that user might have in any given group, or even whether that user (email address) has any group subscriptions at all. It is possible for a person to use the Sign Up link and create an account for him/herself before joining (subscribing to) any groups. Seen in the upper right corner if you are not currently logged in: In this sense an account is just an account. There is no distinction among accounts based on what role that account might have in any given group. Your email address (account) may be subscribed to any number of groups, and have various Roles in those groups. An owner (or moderator) of a group is also a member of the group. In some contexts it makes sense to distinguish between a member who has no elevated Role in the group, and one who is has the role of Moderator or Owner. But we don't have a separate term for the role of Member, qua Member, so people sometimes say non-Owner/Mod or other circumlocutions for that Role specifically. > It seems to me that everyone in the world is a?“?future member > without a Group.io account” until they set one up. Or until the system sets one up for them. This is an aspect of Groups.io that sometimes bends peoples minds, but it is well to understand it. Any time an email address subscribes to a group, no matter how that comes about, the system will set up an account for that address if it does not already have one. It is not possible to be a subscriber to a group without an account -- though it is quite possible for a subscriber not to have logged in to their account (yet). > Perhaps this provision serves those groups with membership > “qualifications" that must be met before one can?“join”? It serves all types of groups. The controls in the Default Sub Settings tab of a group's Settings page apply to the new member's Subscription at the moment an address first subscribes to the group. Most of them anyway. There are three special ones, Timezone, Time Display, and Date Display that say "Only set for new users". These apply to the newly (automatically) created Account for those user addresses which didn't already have an account.
