No and yes.? There's not a direct way.? However, you can change your delivery to include following, then follow the topic(s) where you missed messages.? That should send you all of the messages in the topic(s).? This should work as long as you've chosen individual messages, but I don't remember for sure.

Re-sending messages from the list

#41236

Is there any way to re-send list messages as individual emails to members? A handful of emails to me got bounced (temporary Proofpoint screwup) and I'd like to know if I can get them sent again.

Wow, Sandi, that’s quite a nice and generous offer. I hope Mark goes for it.?

I’d even be willing to chip in a bit for your support for it.?

Yes I did that, too, but wasn't working and the 'send bounce probe' option wasn't available.

But today for some reason when I tried again the bounce probe option was there. I have no sence of anything that may have changed.

Nonetheless, the problem seems to have gone away.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Like it was stated, screenshots could possibly help.

Still a mystery to me....

Just to be clear, I wasn't asking for a GIO created video tutorial.?I've long understood the reasons why GIO hasn't created a video series.

People like myself create and upload free How To how and Overview videos on Vimeo and other sites all the time for many types of well known services and platforms used by NPs.?

I don't mind creating a (free) video owners & mod tutorial series from scratch, just didn't want to spend time doing something that might already exist.

Right now my focus is on my NP, so at this time I won't be doing any publicly accessible videos about GIO. Perhaps later I will be better positioned to ask Mark if he would like to take advantage of my services for his users.

True
But to be of ongoing value Sandi will likely need to periodically update a vid or slideshow that’s customized to those admins. ?So a generic one would be same. ?Doesn’t hurt ( I don’t see any pain in taking a long shot and asking since it benefits both ends} but thinking outside the box isn’t for everyone’s taste of course! ?A “Thanks, but no thanks” really isn’t that painful.

I wonder if maybe there wasn't another selection checked, along with the Bouncing?? I've run into that a couple of times when I forgot to clear the other filter(s).? I try to make it a habit now to click the Members button at the top so it's starting with clear parameters before starting to filter.

FE,

You mentioned you have other legacy groups, if one of them was a basic legacy group, could you possibly exchange these two groups?

If not, one possible way to (more-or-less) accomplish this using GIO only could be a pinned message, let's say "List of available rescues", with an optional #available, #rescuelist, etc hashtag if desired.? You'd start the topic once with the list attached in whatever format you decide on, and when the list needs updating, people can reply to that message with the latest list attached.? The admin (you) would then need to keep on top of it so there is only one message with the attached (latest) list showing.? A bit of user how-to education would be needed, and users would have to be able to get on GIO online, meaning they either would need to use the "Email me a link to log in" feature or have set up their GIO account with a password, if they wanted to get to it that way, or if they want to use email only, make sure they set their subscription to something that will email them messages, and reply to it as needed.?

It's not the most elegant and easy way (but then again IMO not any harder than using an outside storage facility) and it would require some admin & user diligence to ensure only the latest copy is there but it can work.? Have a look at /g/ChristosPsarras/topics for an example of simulating Files, Photos, & Wikis using pinned messages.

Also, as mentioned, getting (at least) 22 of the members to contribute $10 once every year would cover the yearly fee.

Cheers,
Christos

Has there been talk of any reduction in premium group for small nonprofits? We are less than 50 members but really need the files feature to share info on rescued animals and people wanting to adopt.

We have a Basic group that is free plus two other paid or legacy groups. The Basic group really needs a files area.

Have any of you used other cloud based free document sharing such as Google Sheets? We need to keep a list of animals available, for example, that several can update as animals come into their foster homes. We are all animal caretakers without computer expertise so anything you can share on how to accomplish a files area without the premium group would be helpful. ==f e baxter, Southwest Llama Rescue, Inc.

This might not fit your group well, but one option might be a free web hosting
site with a phpBB forum installed (there are other brands of forum-hosting
software). If you have someone who knows how to do this sort of thing, the labor
cost would be zero. 

Personal Groupware offers a service to set you up with just such a thing. I
don't know how the file storage works on GoDaddy and such sites but there should
be some way of doing that. He might be able to set up a Wordpress site instead,
or in addition to the forum. I've done both myself for non-profits, but I'm not
a pro, and I don't hire myself out for this sort of thing. 

You could buy a domain instead of using a free one and your organization would
own that domain. If you moved to another web hosting site, you could backup and
restore your site to another web hosting service then point your domain to the
new site. From the perspective of anyone accessing your site, it would look just
like any business site if you design it to look that way (that part is not
difficult). 

Here are a few examples of an online forum:







There are also sites like Proboards that you can set things up with minimal
effort. (I don't know what their options are for file storage.)

I thought I'd toss this out as an alternative to a premium group here. If it
won't fit your organization well, then you can always pay for a premium group or
find a different solution.

IF that's really happening, it would be a bug, but that's not what I'm seeing.? Check your group settings under Privacy to make sure it's set to "Show email addresses in the web archive".

>>> Have any of you used other cloud based free document sharing such as Google Sheets?

I think you should be able to use Google Sheets for your requirement.

This is how it should work:

1.?? Make sure you have a Google account (Gmail).? Then you will have access to your Google Drive.
2.? Create your document (text or spreadsheet) and save on your Google Drive.
3.? Next make your document sharable and copy the Link that is generated.
4.? Forward the Link to those who need to access the document.

I am not a regular user of Gmail or Chromebook and have used the above process just once.?? As a PC user, I had to stumble and learn.

It strikes me that any video tutorial would very soon be out of date and it would be a constant battle trying to keep it/them updated

So far I can't think of an instance (for me personally) where such a video would be any better than the manual and various forms of help already available

Unless/until there's a huge support staff (which may never happen), things like this will likely only get done if someone voluntarily does it.? The Getting Started guide, along with the Owners Manual, covers everything, just not as detailed as some people would like.
