Calendar Permissions #calendar #question

 

I am trying to better understand how calendar permissions for modifying events work between the different levels. Looking on the help page, I do not even see the work Calendar mentioned. From what I understand, there are 4 levels of access: public, member, moderator, and owner. As far as modifying an event, there is no difference between a moderator or an owner. Public can have either view access or no access. What I'm not sure about is the different access permissions between members that can edit and moderators.

As a regular member, I have permission to edit events on this particular calendar. There are event created by moderators, but I cannot modify them in any way. Is this always the case? And also, creating events as a regular member, can other members modify my event? I would expect that moderators always can.

There is also a button that allows me to lock an event. What does that do exactly?

Have you looked at your Activity log to see if there are any clues there?

Re: Can't find a way to disallow photos in email

 

Yes, Chris, I have now disabled uploading of photos. We don't have such albums anyway, at least for now. Unless my other owner just disabled attachments, it had already been set to strip them. So, if it had been set to strip them before, it didn't in the case of embedded pictures. It might be stripping attached pictures with links to them, but not embedded.

Do you mean that you have also disabled the uploading of Photos to the Photo Albums as well; if so did you really mean to do that? Just setting attachments to be stripped is enough to stop attachments without disabling Photo uploads.

And you can still run HTML, although IIRC someone really determined could still possibly insert a photo into a message, but I suspect that the likelihood would be pretty small.

Re: Can't find a way to disallow photos in email

 

OK, with photos disabled, attachments stripped (as before), an email with an embedded picture comes through with a bounding box where the picture would be, showing the alternate text inside, that would be displayed in a text-only situation. I am using Thunderbird to send the email, and it has an option to embed a picture. If the picture is attached, but not embedded, the link shown basically is an empty page. If the photo is a link whose picture is not attached to the message (hence an ordinary hyperlink), then that link works, no photo is embedded. So I think the combination of no photos with attachments stripped will do it.


Re: Can't find a way to disallow photos in email

 

Yes, attachments are set to be stripped. I would not want to set plain text only however. I'll have to test and see if I can still eliminate photos. I have another group to test with.


Re: Can't find a way to disallow photos in email

 

Attachments are disallowed (stripped from email). I just set photos to disallowed now.


Re: bouncing (again)

 

Cal,

About every 3 days, I've been getting an email with the subject:
Your Groups.io Account Is Bouncing
The three day cadence is consistent with Groups.io's bouncing mechanism, when in the "bouncing" (blue B) status. It will give up after the fifth such message, then you'd be in the "bounced" (red B) status.

It appears that mail from the group identified in the email is still
coming through.
That shouldn't be the case, in either bouncing or bounced status. Is it possible the group messages are coming through a different email address (that is, is it possible you have two accounts at Groups.io, one bouncing one not)? Check the email address in the footer (near the Unsubscribe link) of any message you receive from the group and compare that to the address which received the bouncing notices.

When I go to the bounces page from that email, the most recent bounce
shows as being a year and a half ago.
That link might take you to the bounces page of whatever account (email address) you are currently logged in with, which might not be the address which is bouncing, if you have more than one email address registered at Groups.io. Note that the address which is bouncing might not be subscribed to the same groups as the address which isn't.

Re: bouncing (again)

 

Is there a link to "reset" your bouncing status? Don't click it, but
hover over it and see if it leads to groups.io or some other site,
which could host malware of advertising. It sounds like it could be a
fishing scam but I thought I'd suggest checking it out.

Re: transfer of files from yahoo #yahoo #transfer

 

Elizabeth,

There's nothing left on the Yahoo account. Someone in the group did
save them as a couple of zip files, ...
What Frances and Donald said.

Another possibility is if you or a group member requested a Get My Data download from Yahoo then the content of that download can be uploaded or imported to your Groups.io group. By "import" I mean that you'd give the archive to Groups.io to import into your group for you, rather than you uploading the individual items.

66.175.222.12 is the IP address of Groups.io's outbound mail server.

Some Mail Service Providers suddenly take it upon themselves to bounce Groups.io mail for reasons nobody really knows; getting an MSP to admit to this is likely to be tricky. One blind spot is that any group owner can only see bounces for their own group; there is no means of knowing (without asking the individuals concerned) how many groups they subscribe to and how many emails they receive as a result. "Too many messages" is a somewhat unclear description of the problem; how many is too many!

Check your members' mail providers (the Bouncing list is a good place to start) to see if there is anything that might be statistically significant.

Herb -- In Message Formatting, if you set attachments to be stripped and also check the Plain Text Only box (uncheck the HTML options), I *think* this will eliminate all photos from group emails.

Please try it and report back.?

Re: Messages sent to group not showing up

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have the same situation,

I am a member of a group, I get many E-Mails of the messages from them every day.

But if I reply to them, or start a new message.? nothing happens,

It sends just fine, no bounces or any error of any kind.? but it never ever comes back out to be seen by anyone and never appears on the web page of messages.

whats with this?

Anyone having this issue with bouncing members?

 

Hi, hope everyone is well and staying safe!
I checked my bouncing members list today and found several there, all with the same message as the response:
": 421 CMGW Connection refused, too many sessions from 66.175.222.12. Please lower the number of concurrent sessions. IB007 <>?"
Their email delivery history shows many responses of
": 550 5.1.0 <66.175.222.12> This IP has sent too many messages this hour. IB504 <>"
going back to January or earlier. But they weren't bouncing then. I check the page once a week at least.
Seems strange that they all have the exact same message and IP address. I googled the?IP and it seems to be from New York. We're located in Canada.
Is this some kind of spam takeover? Are the members' accounts (email and/or ) compromised??
Is anyone else getting this message for bounced members?
Any advice would be helpful.?
Thank you, Sally?

Re: Received daily digests before subscription was approved

 

I am an owner of one of the groups EJP joined and received the digest before his membership was approved. He mentioned that he received the digest in his reply to our request for more info before approval. I checked out the email delivery and activity records. Email delivery logs welcome message and reply. Activity logs his application and my approval. In other words, there is no evidence in the logs that I see that he actually was sent the digest.

This is getting mighty close to a bug. Both in the empty logs and the sending of the digest. We set our archives to restricted because in the past (long before my time and groups.io) there was a flap over posts quoted in published works without acknowledging the authors. If EJP had not been approved, this would have been a tiny violation of the promise that posts are not public. If this is not a bug to be fixed, the behavior should be documented.
I suppose I should enter this in beta, but I'll wait to hear what other managers think.
Best, Marv

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,?

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.
