In Admin, Settings, have you disallowed Photos? In Photos, Permissions.
If you absolutely want no attachments, disallow them too.
Attachments go to Emailed Photos section of your website.
In Admin, Settings, Message Formatting,?

They cannot post as its moderated and they can read the messages posted without asking to subscribe anyway

We need to be sure to include whether the group archives are public, as Antique Pattern Library is, or private.? For those with public archives, no harm is done by sending the digest, though I don't believe that should happen.? I'm in the process of doing a test for a private group and should have the results by tomorrow.? Esmond didn't specifically say if the groups joined were public or private, so this should provide additional information.

Well maybe, but the system should behave the way it is supposed to behave!

FWIW the group I co - own has 3 in the pending queue, awaiting responses to the Pending Membership notices and in one 1 case the Confirmation Email, so in these 3 cases nothing seems to be amiss.

Looking at their individual "memberships" all 3 have Individual Messages set, and in all 3 cases their Email Delivery History shows nothing being sent since the Pending Subscription messages.

Going back to the OP... can you positively confirm that the two groups to which you referred are Restricted. (i.e. applicants requiring moderator approval) Did they require you to submit a response to a Pending Subscription message, and if so did you send one to each of them? And exactly what notifications did you receive that your membership requests had been passed?

This happened to me twice this week so I know it's real. I applied to join two groups; I set pending membership to receive daily digests; I received digests from both same day; my membership in both wasn't approved until the following day. This cannot be right. Pending members should receive nothing.

That's why I (group owner Antique Pattern Library) manually set all pending members to No-Email, No-Post until they are approved.?
Best wishes,

Hmm... I'm not seeing that on GMF. Or maybe he meant only for newly created groups? Or maybe it got rolled back already for some reason.

I wasn't the only one confused by that then!

NEW: Added Zoom integration to the calendar. You can now set up Zoom meetings when you create new events.

This was another item on the changelog that actually got rolled back in beta. Hopefully both will be made available to all groups sooner rather than later.

Thank you in anticipation

We came up with a work around to that change which will serve the purpose of our group fine. Instead of using the To: field, I instructed the members to put their groups in the CC Field along with the Owner's email in the CC field. ? Now we?can see that they sent the ads letter out to their groups. ? ? ? ? ?

You will have to do some searching through the past messages back
around early through late December, but there is someone who made it
possible to take what Yahoo saved for members and sent to them upon
request to be able to upload them. The program or script is free. You
have to have the files Yahoo sent to the member from that group. I
don't know how to do that so I can't be of any help with that. I
looked into it and thought it was too complicated.

If anyone in your group used PG Offline to archive your group's
messages, there's a program available (not free) that can upload the
messages archived by the program. I used it to upload the old Yahoo
messages for several groups. I put those messages in a subgroup so
members could join it and search through the old messages. If there is
someone who archived those messages in PG Offline, they can export the
archive and you can import it into PG Offline, which is free now. Then
buy PGO-2-GIO from personalgroupware.com and make your transfer. If
you are going to do this, let me know and we can get in touch unless
you think you can do it all yourself.

Ah, if you do have zip files, see section 3 of this page on GMF wiki --?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Moving-to-Groups.io

That wouldn't do any good.? GIO quit doing transfers in December when the information became unavailable to them after about the 15th.

Since you didn't follow the procedure, no transfer was (nor will be) done.? That required payment of a full year at once.? There would have been a notice sent when the transfer was completed if you'd done it properly.

I requested the transfer of files fro my Yahoo group to io back in November and went through the process, correctly, I believe. My files have still not appeared in io, and I can't see any way to find out whether the transfer was successful. I have been paying the premium fee in installments for 6 months but still am not seeing the messages. How can I find out if the process was successful? If we've just lost all our yahoo messages, I don't want to keep paying the premium fee. If they're going to appear, I'd like to know that so I don't cancel the premium subscription prematurely. Was there ever any kind of confirmation of successful transfer sent out? I don't remember seeing one.

Okay - may I ask to prevent what problems? It is causing a problem in our group now because we won't know if an owner sent the ads letter to their group or groups. How can we work around it? Leeni ? ? ? ?

I don't think so.? I think it's a result of a change that was made a few days ago to prevent problems.
