Neill,

I would like to offer the "+subscribe" method to individuals who have
been active in the group.

I assume you mean the former Yahoo group...

I tested it with a friend using the syntax: ...
This has not been successful.

As Duane said, that should work.

But note, the person sending to the +subscribe address must receive and respond to a confirmation request sent from Groups.io. Absent their confirmation nothing else happens: no activity log entry, no Pending Member entry.

If that person doesn't promptly receive the confirmation request in their Inbox, they should check their Spam folder, Junk folder, or wherever else their email service may have diverted the message.

I couldn't find a relevant entry in the Help section.

/helpcenter/membersmanual/1/joining-groups/responding-to-a-confirm-your-subscription-message

Thanks Peter, I'll do that.

so I suggest you to consider the possibility of either gìving the admin the possibility to override the templates, or provide a range of localizations.

No one on this group can do anything like that.? This is a user-to-user group that is NOT monitored by GIO management.? Only the beta group (and its subgroups) will catch their attention.

Of course, I can check the web periodically to see if there is anything pending, but why the change?

Nothing has changed on the GIO end of it.? Have you checked your subscription to see if you're bouncing?? If not, your email provider may be black holing the messages.? No need for web/app if you don't have your browser set for notifications or the app installed on a phone/tablet.

Thank you Frances - exactly that - after I posted my email I did think it maybe something like that which you confirmed - I have now sorted it out - thank you.

Have you allowed non-members to post? See?/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/customizing-group-settings/message-policy-settings?single=true
Make sure that "allow nonmembers to post" is unchecked. If you don't allow nonmembers to post (with approval by owner / moderators), the messages are automatically rejected with a note saying that you must be a member to post.

You might want to check out the Help - lots of small revisions.

Still not getting email notifications of pending posts.? ?Checked the subscription page and all notifications are "Email and web/app."? I assume that this is the correct choice.? ?

I assume you read the info in the Help page Bruce sent you.
For example ?-

1. ! Important:?Ensure that the browser or device allows notifications from Groups.io. The instructions depend on your specific browser and device. See your browser’s or device’s settings and help information.?
   Note:?If private browsing mode is enabled in your browser, web/app notifications might not work. In that situation, you must disable private browsing to receive web/app notifications.

Well, this doesn't fix the English language in the invite message but it deals with some of the problems.

There are lines that separate the words you add to the template - above and below.
You can use colour for your added text. (I would be sparing though!)
You can change fonts using formats. You can make your section stand out.

I just tested again sending an invitation to a Gmail account and the red and Header 1 font works fine.?
So perhaps you might fool around with the capability that is there.

I'm not a languages type person, but I would test something like the
different web translators against the boiler plate English content. If that
was reasonably close to right, I'd put the instructions for how to do that
in the local language part of the custom message to the users. I'd
acknowledge what the English part is trying to say and how this gives them a
way to read it. If the translator didn't do a good job, then I'd paraphrase
what it I saying but include text that the boilerplate is the legally
binding part and your paraphrasing is an attempt to give it a local language
help.

No, there's no way to do either right now.? Mark has mentioned that localized versions are worthwhile, but hasn't had the time to investigate what's needed.? You may want to join the to give your support to the suggestions about it.

That seems pretty clear to me.
