Re: What does NC ("not confirmed") next to their email address mean? (was: question)

J_Catlady
 

I don't see any "resend confirmationemail" option. Where do I find it,
I can't tell you because since my group became a premium group, ll I can do is "confirm" a member. But the option to "resend confirmation email" was, as I recall, either at the bottom of the member page, and/or possibly through the member list when you click the member and select from the "action" dropdown. I'm fairly sure it's only available via the former.

Re: Change email address error - that email address is already registered

 

Al,

Now I want to change the email address ...
You, a group owner/moderator, cannot change a member's email address. Only the member may do that him/herself, via their Account page.

and I get the message *That email address is already registered*
The member will get that same error if he/she has already created an account at groups.io with the other address. He/she cannot have two accounts using the same address, and at present there is no mechanism to merge two accounts into one.

Note, a Groups.io account is distinct from a membership (aka subscription) in a particular group. An address (account) can be a member of any number of groups.

How can I clear the email address that so I can now update the new
member back to their original email address
You can't do that, but the member can log in under their original email address and join your group from that address. To do that, have the member:

o Go to Groups.io and if they are logged in, log out.
o Click "Log In" in the upper right corner.
o Chose either "Forget your password?" to set a new one, or
"Email me a link to log in" to log in without a password.
o Either way, type in the original address.

Groups.io will send him/her an email message with a link in it.

o Go to his/her email interface.
o Find the message (look in the Spam or Junk folder if needed).
o Click on that link.

This will bring him/her back to Groups.io, logged in under the original address. If he/she chose "Forget your password?" he/she will be at their Account page, where he/she can set a new password.

o Go to your group's home page
o Click the Join or Request to Join button.

This leaves the member with two accounts, each a member of your group, at two different email addresses. You can remove the unwanted membership, or the member can unsubscribe that address from your group.

If the member never wants to use the unwanted email address at Groups.io he/she can log back in to that address one last time, go to the account page, and click the red Delete My Account button.

Re: Integration ?

 

Dain,

Our California South Coast On30 Module club group on Facebook is a
public group.
Sorry for the misinformation. I wasn't paying attention to the distinction between a page and a group at Facebook.

It seems from Guido's earlier message he got the word from the horse's mouth, and it is "no" for Facebook groups. I don't know if that can or will be changed, but that would be a suggestion to take up in the beta group.

You are likely correct that Groups.io would need some kind of authentication (account) with Facebook in order to integrate with groups of any type.

I have a member in that position, but I don't see any "resend confirmation
email" option. Where do I find it, please?

When someone requests membership in a group, and is not yet in any other
groups.io groups (i.e., they are not yet a member of groups.io), groups.io sends
an email asking them to "confirm" that they requested membership. This is to
prevent someone from signing up someone else (like, if I ordered 10 pizzas sent
to your house:). The person needs to click on the "confirm membership" link
within the email to confirm that they, indeed, requested the membership.
Sometimes they don't, or the email goes into spam, or who knows what. If you
continue to see the "NC," you can click on the option to "resend confirmation
email" and hope they get the resent email. If it still continues, you can try to
contact the person outside the system (via your own email) in case groups.io
emails are going into the person's spam folder, and ask them to locate the
confirmation email and click on on the link. If they STILL can't find it (and
this has happened a number of times in my own group), and you know you want to
admit the person to your group, you can email Mark and ask him to let them in.

Until the person is confirmed, even though they look like a member of your group
they will not be able to post messages to the group or access any group content.
They're essentially on hold. -- J

Re: Integration ?

 

Facebook groups are the most limited Facebook entity. If you try to load a Facebook group page without logging in, you end up at a login screen. Groups have three privacy settings -- public, closed and secret,? but "Public" it seems is not open to the public; only people with Facebook accounts can access our group page. Unless there is a sub page I'm missing with settings, groups.io would need a account and maybe be a member to integrate.

No, it will go to the group AND sender.? A situation where I could see this being useful would be if I got the digest, but wanted to see replies to my posts right away.? I don't think I'd ever set it for my groups though.? I think Mark just wanted to cover all the bases when he added that option.

Calendar - subgroup ICS link does not work #calendar #subgroups

 

We cannot sync my subgroup's calendar to external software via the iCalendar link. We can sync to the main group to devices such as iPhone, Mac calendar and Andriod's calendar. This requires no login credentials, just the link. When I try to sync to the subgroup's ICS link on iPhone or Mac, it fails (have not tried the subgroup with Google/Andriod).? If it matters, both groups have restricted membership, but the subgroup is not visible to the parent group.

Is there a way to make this work? I tried entering my username and password but that fails as well.

Thanks for any help.
Re: Reply to option issue

 

Thanks Duane
I looked at this so many times and I didn't see that option
This will make a big difference for my group

There is another option
sender and group

Does this give you a choice to pick only the sender or the group
Or does it just return to the sender and the group (which would not make any sense - since the sender is already part of the group)

Re: Reply to option issue

 

Thank you
I will try this
It may not be easy to relate this to all the members
They actually need to see the choice on the display

Change email address error - that email address is already registered

 


I had an issue completing a new subscriber because the password would not work
I removed the member

I re-invited the member with a different email address
Member is now subscribed and able to login

Now I want to change the email address and I get the message
That email address is already registered

The email address is not listed in the group
I expect the address is still there but inactive
How can I clear the email address that so I can now update the new member back to their original email address

Thanks

Dan,
All groups have a number. That remains constant. You can change the name, but I believe only once.

If I have this right - and there's guarantee of that - add a #hashtag set to Reply to Sender and nothing will be sent to the group. Haven't tested it yet, but that's what I read in the HELP files.,

dleese,

Would be nice if Facebook Page Integration worked with groups. Would
love to only have to make one post.
My understanding is that it does work, but only with Facebook groups that are public. A Facebook group that is private requires authentication for access, and Groups.io hasn't worked out how to do that.

Wonder if there's an online guide to using the groups? It's probably
too early to ask for that, but I'm already getting questions from

In addition to the official Help page that J mentioned, have a look at GMF's Wiki:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/home

The Wiki is intended as a supplement to the help pages, rather than a replacement, but in some cases it also fills in details that perhaps should eventually get into the help pages.

Feel free to copy and modify the Wiki content for your own group's needs, and feel especially free to contribute content to the GMF wiki. If you've written instructions or tutorials for your own group please consider adapting them to the broader audience here.

And yes, feel free to post messages in GMF with comments, suggestions and (hopefully constructive) criticism about the GMF Wiki contents. As is always the case with a volunteer effort, some pages are bound to lag behind the evolving reality of Groups.io, and others may not be clear or comprehensive enough - so everyone's help in proofreading is welcome.
