You could make a note on your home page description. Alter it back later after all is complete. That is viewable by everyone, member or not. Edit in Admin, Settings.

I understand the limit. ?I have cleaned my member list 2 ways.

A search to the wiki for table of contents yields?How to put a Table of Contents on a Wiki page
That is how I learned to do it.

Just curious how your situation was resolved, Jim.? I'm wondering because I blew it myself just now.? Deleted the wrong group!? So you're not alone.

I'd been trying to delete two testing groups (which had been created more than a year ago and served their purpose), but during a month of multiple attempts, nothing happened -- the groups remained in my pull-down menu.? I wanted the testing groups gone because one of them had a name very similar to the one that I accidentally deleted, which was a fear that ultimately came true, argh!

Thanks for the replies. I am now confused again though... I am getting the following footer:

It doesn't include reply to sender (I haven't removed other options and have set the reply-to back to Group). I have managed to get an email with the links as Frances indicated but only once. All I'm doing is replying to the group. Any ideas? Is it a timing thing? Does it take a few minutes for the group to settle down after the first members are added maybe? I've been adding and removing a couple of users repeatedly to test the configuration so maybe that's upsetting it?

Thanks,

Richard

Mod's note: no footer

You can find the info in Admin, Members. Pull down Members button - but that info isn’t pushed to owners.?

The member can see in their subscription and they get an email as well as a banner notice on the group home page. It is mostly the member that needs to take action - click on a link in the email. They can also see all their bouncing in the top right Account (their name), in Recent Bounces).

As a moderator or owner, I wouldn't want to get a notification about all member soft bounces. Not necessary. It might be useful when Groups.io has stopped trying to send bounce probes - when Groups.io has given up.

As far as I can determine, there isn't one.? It seems to be part of the package used for TOC programming.? To get the same look without the numbers, you'd need to format everything manually.

That tells me that you're the owner under another email address (account.)

I know we're a bit off topic here, but Tool Tips does sound like a better plan.? It's arduous and time consuming, though.

Thanks to all for your help.? I think we can close this topic.

Hi David,

If it was a former Rootsweb one I saw a number of List Owners setting up lists here but stating that they wouldn't be "open for business" until 1 March.

Kinda.

You can set email delivery at the time of Direct Add by appending the single word digest, summary or nomail after each entry. See attached screenshot. If you leave the delivery option blank, new subscribers will be assigned whatever is established in your group's Default Sub Settings (click the button at top of your Settings page).

If appending the word is clumsy and hard to automate, you can change your group's Default Sub Settings to digest and add all your digest members, then change the default to individual emails and add all those people, etc.

There is no way to similarly set a member's Role field. Subscribers will have to be promoted to Moderator after they've been added.

What is the name of the list that you think might be abandoned, David?

At the moment, there are only 3 subscribers including me.

The listed was created 13 Jan 2020.

I sent 2 messages and both bounced back as undeliverable even the address is correct.

If it is abandoned, I would like to take over the apparent abandoned?list.

David, that is only 6 days (unless you put the wrong year!)
Is it possible that you either have the wrong email address or you are using the wrong email address.
Can you visit the group home page?
Any new messages?
If yes, check your own subscription (left menu) to check your delivery history.
