On the Settings page, go to the Spam Control panel.? About the 4th item down is Unmoderate After.? There's a drop box to select anything from Not Enabled to 4.? Be sure to go to the bottom of the page and click Update Group.

How to set new members first four posts are moderated?

 

Default in group.io for that Setting is FOUR.
I think in one of my groups it got set down to TWO at some point.

I¡¯ve been digging into the group Settings but don't see where to configure that setting.

Can you direct me to it? Help ;-)

From Help: ?Seeing copies of your own messages that you email to groups
?
By default, some email providers¡ªmost notably Gmail¡ªdo not show their users copies of the messages that those users send to Groups.io groups through email. If you use one of those providers, and your Groups.io email delivery option is set to Individual Messages, and you want to ensure that you see copies in your email application of messages that you have emailed to your groups:
?
Display your Account page.
In the left navigation menu, select Preferences.
Scroll to the Email Preferences panel near the bottom of the page.
Under My Messages, select the I always want copies of my own emails checkbox.
Note: This checkbox is selected by default in new Groups.io accounts. If you do not want to see copies of your own messages, clear this checkbox.
Click the Update Preferences button at the bottom of the page.
(For those interested in the technical details: When this checkbox is selected, Groups.io replaces the Message-Id header with a new, system-generated one and renames the original Message-Id header to X-Orig-Message-Id.)

Re: Should a sender receive their own post in their email?

 

Herb,

There seems to be cases where some senders don't get a copy of their
post in their email. Does this sound right? Could it depend on their
email service, or are we mistaken about what is supposed to happen?
It depends only on the member's email service or user interface.

Sometimes a message claiming from yourself will be delivered to your spam folder, or rejected outright, because "why would you send yourself an email?" - according to the logic of the email service / spam filter.

Groups.io sends group messages to you according to your subscription settings, mute/follow choices, and NC or Bouncing status. It does not filter out your own messages.

To diagnose a specific case, look in the Email Delivery History tab of the member's page (from your group's Members list). If there are no bounces listed there then the messages were delivered to the member's email service. If the member doesn't see one or more expected message in their inbox they'll have to investigate their Spam, Trash or other folders or filters their email service uses.

Re: Message Formatting

 

Try this:

  • Copy your current signature,
  • paste it into a straight text editor a la Notepad,
  • delete your entire signature field,
  • copy everything from the text editor,
  • paste as plain text into your signature field.
Then format to your heart's content.

Message Formatting

 

I created some groups towards the end of 2019 when Yahoo first announced it was in the first stages of its process of closing its groups down.

I created a signature for myself, but some how typed a small line under my name by mistake.. followed by a longer line. I created hash tags for my group.

I've tried to edit my signature to delete the line I want to remove. Doesn't work.. I've tried to delete everything, and save it... mistake still there.

Does anyone have any ideas??

Thanks so much to everyone who suggested setting up the "Pending member" message - this is perfect.? You guys are the best :)

Re: New groups.io pricing structure

 

Sandi,

Many 501c3/NPs have less members than the Enterprise level is created
for. All of my groups are well below the 400 member level. Some are
barely over 100 people but the Premuim features would be useful to
have. Just not at the current model of NP pricing.
For a group of less than 400 members the regular Premium pricing ($220/yr) would be less than the NP pricing for Enterprise ($1100/yr).

Especially if I as one person have to pay an Enterprise discount for
each and every GIO NP group I create with each GIO group having less
than 150 members.
You don't have to pay for an Enterprise group just because you're a NP. You may not get a discount, but that's no reason to go to a higher- priced plan.

If Mark were to offer all his paid levels a NP discount, he will
potentially pick up some more money.
Maybe.

There's the question of whether more basic groups would upgrade to Premium NP than downgrade from regular Premium to Premium NP. The result could be a net loss of income instead of a gain. Also, the administrative cost of verifying NP status (especially internationally) may outweigh the potential income from discounted Premium groups.

I suspect it is very difficult to estimate how much price elasticity there is for the various service levels.

I have posted before, $10 a month is affordable to some of my NPs but
$20 a month breaks our budget.
I kind of feel that way about some of my groups, but mostly because I can't envision attempting to collect from the members. So those groups remain basic (and are glad to be "legacy enabled").

I do understand the "upgrade button solution" but I don't want to deal
with upgrading and then downgrading and experiencing features changes
that differ because of the dates that my different groups were
created.
You don't need to worry about the downgrading: one of the Premium plans is "for one month" - it downgrades automatically.

Duane has mentioned in a few topics that you could use a test group (one with no members except you and optionally your moderator team) as the means to make occasional donations. None of the regular group members would then experience any feature changes. One test group could serve for all of your regular groups, since there'd be no connection between them except for your ownership.

Signature not Appearing in Sub-group Posts #subgroups

 

I just setup a new IO Group a few days ago that has several subgroups underneath it.? It is a PREMIUM account.

I have a signature setup in the Parent Group subscription which also shows us in the subscription for each of the subgroups. I have both check boxes checked. ? If I change the signature for the Parent subscription it updates in all of the subgroups. ? That is is all GOOD.? If I create a new TOPIC message the signature appears.

When I create new TOPIC post for the sub-group? the signature does NOT populate in the message.? See attachment for examples.

Did I miss a setting somewhere when I set up the Group or the Sub-Groups?

Thank you in advance.?? Any insight would be helpful.

You may want to disable the "No Email" option. I disabled it to make sure people get at least a summary email. That way i also will notice when somebody's email bounces.

I can't reconstruct this problem, either. It's possible that someone else deleted this text by mistake. Check your Activity log (select "Edited group member notice" from the Actions pull-down menu). Any recent log entries (since about mid-July) will record which notice has been edited.

Hope this helps,

They are still in the file so I could take the extra steps to find it - copy and paste but I hope this is an easy fix
for Mark.

Wondering if anyone else noticed it.

It seems to be working on my test site. Is it still a problem?

Ah, one other thought.? Maybe a moderator on another group (JN-monroe and McCalip) changed the email address.?
Duane
That's what happened. I contacted Walt Reitz, and he confirmed that he's in a Vietnam Veterans' group, and those two guys (monroe/mccalip) are moderators. That group just moved away from yahoo.com this week (yahoo discussion group support ended on Tuesday, Dec. 15), and there was some confusion surrounding the move.

I'll file an amendment to the bug report I sent in on Wednesday. It looks like lazy programming, to me. It's good that the change to my member's record was logged where I can see it. But it would be less likely to engender confusion if a bit of text were altered. Something like

A moderator in another discussion group changed name <address>'s email address from name@address via web

would be less likely to confuse the innocent.

You don't have to do this.? I found the template for "Pending Subscriptions" under Settings/Member Notices.? Simply click on the plus sign to add a new notice, then select "Pending Subscription".

When you use this option, you should see a screen like the one attached. You can select the "From" address in a dropdown list, and you can select a box at the bottom "Bcc: Me" and/or "Bcc: All moderators".

Tip: remember to add "PRIV" to the subject line, otherwise it will appear to the user as if this message comes from the group.
