I'm not seeing this problem.

I have been 听absent from groups 听for 听more than 3 wks.

On 听my return 听I found some change to 听group. io.听

I 听normally 听reply via my email account to any messages. However because 听I had so many accumulated in the 3 wks or so I 听decided

to delete all of them and 听visit the group page thread instead and choose which messages I wanted to respond to

To my surprise if a topic 听has a long thread of messages 听 I 听can't 听choose to reply to one of the threads.. The reply option is gone from each 听thread of messages. Ugh!

Shal,

Thanks.

What we ended up doing yesterday was, as you suggest here, subscribing her with the one email address to all the groups, and then removing her memberships under the other account. I did realize that this would remove her control over, and other aspects of, her previous membership. But I also thought that this particular member would have gotten even more confused if we had kept both accounts. (She still has her old account, although it's no longer a member of any groups. I think (a) there's currently no way to actually delete a Groups.io account once you have one, and (b) if she ever wants to regain control over her content, re-joining under that account would restore that.)

(An aside: I hope that Trello suggestion gets implemented in a way that allows members to keep their accounts under separate emails as separate accounts if they *want* to, and won't do anything automatically to merge them. I myself have an account for my business and another one for personal groups, and they really need to stay separate.)

She could re-join one of the groups using the other email address, so
that email address ends up subscribed to both groups.

A disadvantage to rejoining is that any content (messages, photos, etc.)
she's contributed under the one email address would not be controllable
by the other (different subscriber, so no delete or edit buttons).

I think Mark has been dealing with the "multiple email address" issue
already, or has it on his Todo list.

Meanwhile, what can I do to help a member of both my main and my admin
group who happens to be using separate email addresses for the two
groups?

Can she simply swap out her email address in one of the groups?

I抳e been using PGOffline to archive messages in various Yahoo groups
for a while already, and when doing a large number of messages the Yahoo
system will cut me off after some unknown-to-me limit is reached.
PGOffline provides a way to regulate the throttle and hopefully extend
that limit.

Does Groups.io run into that issue too when copying messages? Is there a
throttle?

I think Mark has been dealing with the "multiple email address" issue already, or has it on his Todo list. Meanwhile, what can I do to help a member of both my main and my admin group who happens to be using separate email addresses for the two groups? This is a remnant of the fact that she was using the separate email addresses for the two groups from before we transferred from yahoo, and everything just transferred over as is. However, she can't get into the admin group site, but can get into the main group site, evidently because she's logged in as that email address rather than the other.

Can she simply swap out her email address in one of the groups? Or does she have to request a password in order to log in as that separate user? It would obviously be much more convenient for her if she could be just one user and change the address in one of the groups. But before advising her to do this, I wanted to get an idea of whether it would even be allowed, since both email addresses are now separate accounts internally.

Was this in the "Message Activity" tab? I don't see a corresponding action in the search drop-list for any of the tabs - that may be a bug.

Forgot to answer this: No, it was in the "Members Activity" log and the search item in the drop list is called "bounced." No bug. It's a perfectly beautiful little feature. :-)

Interesting. I like comprehensive activity logging but this is one I wouldn't have thought of.

It impressed me, too, so much that I almost posted on beta thanking Mark for it. :-)

The members' Activity Pages are invaluable, also. Yes, the feature "almost" makes up for not being able to search on a member's posts - the operative word being "almost," since only moderators can do this. I'd sometimes like to be able to find all of a member's posts in a group where I'm not the owner.

I guess I'll try emailing the member once. Thanks.

There was an entry in the activity log today that "email to [member xyz]
is bouncing." This is the first such entry we've had.

I checked the member's activity history and the only thing in it is one
bounced email, which was sent today. The member joined more than one
year ago, when we were still on yahoo, and has never posted. I'm not
sure what to do about this besides remove the member from the group.

I'm not even sure I want to send him an email.

Looking forward to thoughts, helpful hints or advice here. Thanks.

What I was wondering was whether it was as easy for spammers to bulk
harvest and torment group owners in io as in yahoo groups.

Is there no way this could be made harder?

Some sort of filter before they get to us maybe?

It wouldn't be easy for me to drop my yahoo email addresses at this
point but are there email providers who can intercept this type of
spam?
