Re: What action is required by members after the transfer?
Jim,
Does the green banner you refer to mention the short time scale?No, it does not. What I quoted is all it says. If not perhaps I should raise that on beta? It seems essential forI think that's a very good idea. In fact, the page is rather blank. Maybe it should cite the Subject line, and To & From addresses of the sent message to help the member identify it. And suggest that the member check their Spam folder if it is not in their Inbox. It could even suggest white-listing the From address. See what you think. Go to the site, log out if you're logged in. Click Log In near the upper right, and click the button. It won't harm anything. That will also give you an opportunity to review the email that is sent. Shal |

Re: 0 files were transferred
I will download them and upload to the group, which bringsThis was a request in beta six months ago. () After my groups were transferred it became apparent there were a number of photos that were way larger than they should be. I would like to be able to resample them down in size without changing ownership. The Phots and Files areas both need to be reorganized as well, but there's no way for an owner or moderator to do that without assuming ownership of the file in question. I see this as a housekeeping issue, but it doesn't seem to be important enough to generate much response from others. Dano |

Re: What action is required by members after the transfer?
Carol,
Sorry for lack of quote, haven¡¯t seen how to do that yet in groups.ioThere are two ways: select the text you wish to quote before clicking Reply, or click the "Quote Whole Post" button after clicking Reply. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Message-composition-tips-and-tricks I am confused on what the members expect to see.After everything has been copied each will receive a welcome notice from Groups.io. It includes a link to the group's site and an opt-out in case they don't want to be in the new group. If you set up a "Welcome" notice on the Member Notices tab of your group's Settings page they will receive that also. Is there a wiki I am missing?There's GMF's. It isn't comprehensive but we are trying to supplement what's available on the official help page. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki /static/help Shal |

Re: Is there a way to send an Inquiry type email before accepting new members in Groups.io?
That could work.?It is slow, but you can read the responses and see if it is?acceptable. I remember I had to answer about 10-15 questions before joining one group.?It was nuts, but it worked for the mods.

Take care

Wo! What happened, that email looks like a mess. Anyway, to answer the poster's question if there is no way, maybe suggest this to the beta team.
Take care and be blessed. On Jan 24, 2018, at 2:05 PM, Douglas Swearingen <dougiebehr@...> wrote:[long quote of HTML message body trimmed by moderator] |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThere is a setting you can try at Amin/settings/, and at the top of the page there is a setting for Member Notices. Check that out. I set up a Pending Subscriptions, but I¡¯m not sure how it¡¯s working. If I don¡¯t the who the person is that trying to join, then I send them an email also. That was normal operating procedure at Y, so I¡¯m trying to do it at Groups.io ? Don ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Barbara Jones

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIf you are a group owner or perspective owner, you can set up your group as a restricted group and therefore be able to contact the prospective applicant before them being approved to your group.

Re: Great transition
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWe had issues on our enterprise account with bouncing members.? Mark can speak more to what happened there (it was a server issue, not a groups.io issue) so we had to move our server and it¡¯s basically solved the problem.? ? If anyone has a message they send out to their members about ¡°whitelisting¡± email addresses that might be something you can post regularly to keep those bouncing members at bay. ? Good luck! ?

Malware Threat in attached photos.
Last year I suffered a ransomware attack thru an attached photo in an e-mail.
Are photos (uploaded and attached) scanned for malware in groups.io? A search in this group had zero results. KEN "It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc. "The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success." STEINBECK - CANNERY ROW |
