From the left hand side of the web UI click on Members. Then click on the "blue tab" above the list (I haven't named it because the default name can be one of two; Members or Pending) and select Moderators.

Voila!

Hi,

Is there a way to prevent users from simply signing on to a group and harvest personal e-mail addresses?

I am the moderator of a group and I thought a different account was also an owner but it is not.

Is there a way I can find all configured owners without scrolling through the entire group?

Thanks

Make sure to make the subgroup message archive private, too (Privacy > Visibility > "...messages viewable to subgroup members only").

Set the subgroup to Restricted (in the Spam Control panel) and don't let anyone join (nor add anyone from the main group.)? Main group owners and moderators with proper permissions can see the subgroup without joining - implied membership.

why do subgroups require membership to main group first

As someone said a few days ago, if they didn't have to be in the main group, they wouldn't be joining a subgroup, but another group.

In addition, when the Administrator receives a subscription request, it only mentions the main group and there is no way for the adminstrator to know what subgroup to add the person to.

Another question, why do subgroups require membership to main group first, but if you go to a subgroup's Groups.io page and click Join Group, that person is added automatically to both the main and subgroup? IMNSHO, both Subgroup subscription and join should work the same way.

IMHO, yes. I am of the view that groups.io is not really suited for your purpose. (Others may not agree!)

Even if Polls were available to new free groups, a Poll (in Groups.io terms) consists of a single question and a number of predetermined reply options. A second question requires a second poll and so on. Furthermore although non - members could read a Poll but would not be able to answer it.

You could set up a group so that a Moderator could post questions viewable publicly but such that replies only went to Moderators and would not be viewable by anyone else. However, you would then be faced with the (monumental?) task of trying to convert those written replies into tickbox asnwers yourselves, and that would not necessarily be all that easy or even be a proper reflection of the respondents' opinions.

Chris

Just my opinion, but might a survey site like suveymonkey be easier to manage?

Yes, Mark reads all the messages on beta and takes appropriate action.

I was given a solution which is easy to implement. That is to delete the image not only?at the bottom where I?had done it but also in the top portion of the email itself. So if I delete it in 2 places, it will not show up in the email. I am going to try that. ? Now if I write to Beta and make a suggestion for a possible bug, would it be listened to if I don't have a premium?group.? ? Thanks, Leeni? ? ? ? ?

Thanks for that information. That is what I didn't do. I will do that in the future. I need to remember to remove the image from both places. I am sure I will be able to test that out soon LOL Leeni? ? ? ? ?

Better still,
if you LIKE what someone says, why not reply and tell them so!

Because that would defeat the purpose. The whole point of introducing the thumbs-up button is that it reduces the need for additional messages.

IMHO - "Likes" are for social media contests to see who can get the most "Likes".?

On groups.io, you thumb up posts, not users. It's not a contest (unless you make it one)

Yes; you can have a group listed in the directory but still have its archives private (only members can see them, not the public), and allow non-members to post; it's a kind of a "honey-pot" setup, you make your address known so people can find you, anyone can send you anything, but only you can see it after being received. (plus obviously the non-member who sent it through the copy in their Sent Items folder).

Cheers,

[Mod Note: non-member posts will always go into Pending Messages]

Leeni,

I did some testing on editing messages with attachments (in the body or at the end of the message) some time ago for a GMF image attachment thread so this is relatively fresh and there is definitely a bug there.

Unless it gets fixed, when you edit a message which has inline embedded images in the body, check the graphic you want to delete in the "attachments"as you already do now, but before clicking on Save Message, scroll through the message textbox above and find that same image that's displayed up there, select it, and Del it. If you don't delete the image in both places, and only do one in either direction*, you'll experience things like yours.

Cheers,
Christos

* It's funkier the other direction, i.e. delete the textbox inline image but leave the attachment and save; the image doesn't show anymore in message display but if the message is re-edited the "deleted" image reappears in the "attachments" section ... you can funky it even more by deleting different images in the body vs the "attachments" section, and you can end up in a message which displays different images on the message body textbox vs the "attachments" section when edited again ... I'll have to look back at notes to get the exact details and I'll post another message in order to keep this one fixing-your-problem only, but in a nutshell, the same underlying code is used for handling editing of both messages with traditional body-end attachments and inline message-body images, and it "shoehorns" message-body images in being handled the same as message-end images in both code and db storage and things are not staying synchronized between the "attachments" and message body section in the message editing screen.

NY State has had an executive order that all communities with a police force establish a committee of its citizens to review and re-imagine its policing.? I am on the committee for the Town of Ulster in the Kingston, NY area.
We have made our review and are about to present it to the public and solicit public opinion.? I have run a couple of groups since Yahoo Groups folded and naturally thought of groups.io...

But, having begun to create a groups.io group, I realized we don't really want a discussion group (which could turn into a combative free for all on the charged issue of policing), rather we want a "bucket" to collect opinion, a private group:

• listed in the directory
  
• that would allow non-members to post (I realize that the posts would necessarily be moderated)
  
• whose postings would be then be visible to the people on the committee...who would be its members
• but the postings would not be visible to the public
  

Yes, this is a poll...but:

• of the simplest kind (what do you think/feel)
• I want this to be a free group, which no longer supports polls
  

The reason I'm thinking of making this a private group is that if the group and its postings were to be seen (as well as being posted to) publicly it could turn into a battleground and a headache to moderate and present in a civil productive fashion.

So my question: can private group allow postings by non-members?
