Auto close has been asked for before, as well as auto-post, both at the , 5 years ago!? At least one other person would find it useful, so you can either add to that topic or start a new one.

I am the owner of a group that uses polls for attendance at virtual meetings 5 days of every month. I don't see anything in the documentation or the options to allow me to set up the polls ahead of time, and have the system open them on a specific day (when the #poll-notice would be sent to the members) and close on a specific day. If I missed it in the documentation, please point me in the right direction. If not, does it sound like something that would be of use to enough people to add it as a suggestion on Beta? Or does someone in this group with enough knowledge of the innards of groups.io know it would be difficult if not impossible to implement?

What if you don't do that and leave the quoted text hidden, can't you (or the mods) edit the message and delete all the extra space?? That should at least take care of the displaying part.

As a member of this same group (SciFiDiscussion), who while likewise online at the group's GIO site, is experiencing this infinite scroll anomaly at the bottom of the message in question and while in that thread, when I'm viewing 'messages > topics' I cannot get past the post in question nor see any of the subsequent replies to that thread –unless I revese the display order of the messages in the thread. But then after doing so I then cannot see the earlier messages to the thread (since the oldest are now the first displayed).

If I set the display to 'messages > messages' then all the posts are seen in chronological order as normal interspersed among all the other posts (as well as those not of that thread topic) as usual.

If I were the owner or moderator of the group I would just copy the text of the problem post, re-post the text from as owner moderator (on behalf of the original poster) in a new reply to the thread, and then just delete the problem post.

I would also send a note the the OP advising that this was done.

That to me would seem the simplest way to resolve the eternal scroll-down anomaly/problem with that post.

Cheers!

Also want to mention it is not every email from the group they have an issue with but a certain type of email I post daily. See below what the email is like.
Others get it OK thru Groups.io is OK.

Unless if you're using copy and paste to create that message and some formatting code or something gets inadvertently included and is causing the problem, I don't know.?

Either way, you may want to consider sending the email as a PDF attachment instead of including everything in the email itself, that's one very long email.? Plus a PDF would guarantee it looks the same to all recipients.

1.?????????? Security Summit: Identity Protection PINs are an important tool against tax-related identity theft

?

[My Comment: As a tax professional I would suggest tax professionals to NOT entered in our tax software a client's IP PIN until you are ready to actually efile (not when you print Form 8453 etc so the taxpayer can sign the forms so you may actually efile the return) or paper print the client's return. Then after you have either efiled the return or printed it for paper filing that the IP PIN be REMOVED from your tax software. My reason is what if your computer has been hacked? If you entered the IP PIN when you were working on the return and at some point it was done or you entered it when your printed the forms for the taxpayer to sign and then you sent them to the taxpayer the IP PIN would be in your tax software and your computer was hacked then the cybercriminal could potential file a return with the IP PIN before the true taxpayer's return was filed. To be clear what I mean to do is not enter IP PIN until actually ready to efile the returns is when you have the forms signed by the taxpayer and you can efile the return. Enter the IP PIN and recalculate the return and then submit it. Then delete the IP PIN in your software.]

?

In the second installment in a special summer series, the Security Summit partners today reminded tax professionals and taxpayers about the IRS Identity Protection PIN Opt-In Program to help protect people against tax-related identity theft.

?

Identity Protection PINs, also referred to as IP PINs, serve as a critical defense against identity thieves. The IRS, state tax agencies and the nation's tax industry – working together as the Security Summit – need assistance from tax professionals to let their clients know that IP PINs are now available to anyone who can verify their identity.

?

More than 8 million taxpayers have taken the steps to obtain an IP PIN. To obtain an IP PIN, taxpayers can visit the Get an IP PIN, the IRS online tool.

?

The Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee, or ETAAC, last year highlighted the importance of the IP PIN to taxpayers and tax professionals.

?

Given the strength of IP PINs, obtaining this number can be a tempting target for identity thieves. Summit partners urged taxpayers and tax professionals to be careful and protect the IP PIN from identity thieves, and noted these key tips:

?

????????????? ???????????? Taxpayers should share their IP PIN only with their trusted tax prep provider.

?

????????????? ???????????? Tax professionals should never store clients' IP PINs on computer systems. This reduces taxpayer risk if a tax pro’s system is compromised by an identity thief or cyberattack.

?

????????????? ???????????? The IRS will never call, email or text either taxpayers or tax professionals to request the IP PIN. This is a sign of a scam.

?

Tax professionals who experience a data theft can assist clients by urging them to quickly obtain an IP PIN. Even if a thief already has filed a fraudulent return, an IP PIN would still offer protections for later years and prevent taxpayers from being repeat victims of tax-related identity theft.

?

Here are a few other things taxpayers and tax professionals should know about the IP PIN:

?

????????????? ???????????? It's a six-digit number known only to the taxpayer and the IRS.

?

????????????? ???????????? The opt-in program is voluntary.

?

????????????? ???????????? The IP PIN should be entered on the electronic tax return when prompted by the software product or on a paper return next to the signature line.

?

????????????? ???????????? The IP PIN is valid for one calendar year; a new IP PIN is generated each year.

?

????????????? ???????????? Only taxpayers who can verify their identities may obtain an IP PIN.

?

????????????? ???????????? IP PIN users should never share their number with anyone but the IRS and their trusted tax preparation provider. The IRS will never call, email or text a request for the IP PIN.

?

????????????? ???????????? Tax professionals cannot obtain an IP PIN on behalf of clients. Taxpayers must obtain their own IP PIN.

?

To obtain an IP PIN, the best option is the Get an IP PIN, the IRS online tool. Taxpayers must validate their identities through ID.me to access the tool and their IP PIN. Before attempting this thorough process, see How to Register for Certain Online Self-Help Tools.

?

If taxpayers are unable to validate their identity online and if their income is below $73,000 for individuals or below $146,000 for married couples, they may file Form 15227, Application for an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number. The IRS will call the telephone number provided on Form 15227 to validate their identity. Once verified, the taxpayer will receive an IP PIN via U.S. Postal Service within four to six weeks.

?

Taxpayers who cannot validate their identities online or on the phone with an IRS employee after submitting a Form 15227, or who are ineligible to file a Form 15227, may call the IRS to make an appointment at a Taxpayer Assistance Center. They’ll need to bring one picture identification document and another identification document to prove their identity. Once verified, the taxpayer will receive an IP PIN via U.S. Postal Service within three weeks.

?

The IP PIN process for confirmed victims of identity theft remains unchanged. These victims will automatically receive an IP PIN each year.

?

Additional resources

?

Tax professionals also can get help with security recommendations by reviewing the recently revised IRS Publication 4557, Safeguarding Taxpayer Data, and Small Business Information Security: The Fundamentals, by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

?

The IRS’ Identity Theft Central pages for tax pros, individuals and businesses have important details as well.

?

Publication 5293, Data Security Resource Guide for Tax Professionals, provides a compilation of data theft information available on IRS.gov. Also, tax professionals should stay connected to the IRS through subscriptions to e-News for Tax Professionals and its social media sites. For more information, go to IRS.gov.

2.?????????? California Employer on the Hook for Expense Reimbursement During COVID-19 Stay-Home Orders: 4 Key Takeaways

?

This is from Fisher Phillips, a national law firm.

?

In the beginning they report from a California appellate court had mention that employers are required to pay work related expense reimbursements.

?

They say in the article " Read on to learn more about a recent July 11 ruling on an employer’s liability for business expense reimbursement during stay-home orders and your four key takeaways from the decision.".

?

These topics are mentioned:

?

????????????? Pandemic Raised Unique Compliance Questions

?

????????????? Court Reminds Employers of Pay Obligations

?

????????????? 4 Takeaways for Employers

?

The fourth takeaway I found interesting. It says " You should note that there are still open questions as to how far reimbursement requirements might extend. So, stay tuned for further developments.".

3.?????????? Certain energy credits under the Inflation Reduction Act are elective pay eligible

?

I started to not provide this information as I did not think it would be likely my readers would need it. But got to thinking about it and given I know almost nothing on most of the credits listed I thought I might be wrong and some readers working with nonprofits could use this information.

?

Elective pay allows applicable entities, including tax-exempt and governmental entities that would otherwise be unable to claim certain credits because they do not owe federal income tax, to benefit from some clean energy tax credits. By choosing this election, the amount of the credit is treated as a payment of tax and any overpayment will result in a refund.

????????????? Link to what is Elective Pay:

?

Applicable entity eligibility

?

Applicable entities can use elective pay. Applicable entities include:

?

????????????? ???????????? Tax-exempt organizations such as public charities, private foundations, social welfare organizations, labor organizations, business leagues and others

?

????????????? ???????????? States and political subdivisions such as local governments or Indian tribal governments

?

????????????? ???????????? U.S. territories and their political subdivisions

?

????????????? ???????????? Agencies and instrumentalities of state, local, tribal and U.S. territorial governments

?

????????????? ???????????? Alaska Native corporations

?

????????????? ???????????? The Tennessee Valley Authority

?

????????????? ???????????? Rural electric cooperatives

?

How to receive the elective payment

?

For an eligible entity to receive an elective payment, they need to take the following steps:

?

????????????? 1.?????????? Identify the project or activity they are pursuing and satisfy all requirements for the applicable credit.

?

????????????? 2.?????????? Determine the correct tax year, which determines the due date of the tax return.

?

????????????? 3.?????????? Complete the pre-filing registration process with the IRS. More information about this process will be available later in 2023.

?

After the pre-filing registration process is complete and the requirements for the applicable credit have been satisfied, the eligible entity can claim and receive an elective payment by choosing the election on their annual tax return along with any form required to claim the relevant tax credit.

?

Applicable entities need their own Employee Identification Number (EIN) or Tax Identification Number (TIN) to complete the pre-filing registration process. Applicable entities that don’t otherwise have a filing requirement cannot use or borrow the EIN of a related entity.

?

Eligible credits:

?

????????????? ???????????? Production Tax Credit for Electricity from Renewables

?

????????????? ???????????? Clean Electricity Production Tax Credit

?

????????????? ???????????? Investment Tax Credit for Energy Property

?

????????????? ???????????? Clean Electricity Investment Tax Credit

?

????????????? ???????????? Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit

4.?????????? TIGTA Reports on The Customer Callback System Benefits Taxpayers; However, Performance Measures Are Not Comprehensive and More Callers Could Qualify for Callback Offers

?

What TIGTA Found

?

For Fiscal Year 2022, the IRS reported it offered callbacks to approximately 11 million callers and saved callers 3.6 million hours of hold time. The IRS’s long-term strategy is to continue expanding the callback capability to nearly all of its viable telephone services. In January 2023, the IRS updated the CCB system to include better estimates of wait times. The CCB system was designed to reduce the time callers spent waiting on hold, not to increase the number of calls answered.

?

TIGTA identified two ways the IRS could enhance the reporting of CCB system results to improve clarity and transparency. First, revise external performance measures to be more comprehensive. This would reduce inconsistency in the performance measures and allow stakeholders to better understand how many callers were offered a callback. For example, stakeholders may be interested to know that in Fiscal Year 2022, only approximately 11 percent of callers seeking live assistance were offered callbacks.

?

Second, establish goals for CCB system performance measures. Goals help measure how organizations perform. Without goals, the performance measures do not provide a full perspective about progress and improvements in the CCB system.

?

In addition, callers with estimated wait times longer than 60 minutes are not eligible for callback consideration and must instead continue waiting on hold. Eliminating this restriction would improve service to callers who may have the greatest need for it because their wait time is the longest. IRS management stated that this restriction was established during the pilot program. IRS management is considering removing this ineligibility rule; however, as of May 2023, the restriction still remains.

?

What TIGTA Recommended

?

TIGTA recommended that the Commissioner, Wage and Investment Division,

?

????????????? 1) revise external performance measures to provide a more meaningful assessment of CCB system performance and its assistance provided to taxpayers;

?

????????????? 2) develop baseline goals for CCB system performance measures and adjust them periodically as needed; and

?

????????????? 3) eliminate the 60-minute estimated wait time threshold when offering callers the option to receive a callback.

?

In their response to the report, the IRS agreed with two of the recommendations and plans to take corrective actions. However, the IRS did not agree to establish baseline goals for CCB performance because IRS management believes that it is not viable to establish program goals for a customer experience tool when use of the tool is reduced due to positive business changes. TIGTA believes that services designed to mitigate customer burden are not excepted from establishing goals.

5.?????????? What Day is It? National All or Nothing Day – July 26

?

National All or Nothing Day is celebrated every July 26 to encourage people to give their all to every task or dream they embark on. This can either be a sport, an assignment, a friendship, or even a Crossfit workout. The key is to break the limit your mind has set and allow yourself to take risks. Yes, it’s time you let out the daredevil within and dedicate the next 24 hours to achieving tasks you were too cautious to even think about doing before. Today is the day to break the rules and make your life super exciting!

?

HISTORY OF NATIONAL ALL OR NOTHING DAY

The perfect way to live life is to put your all into something. If it’s an investment, you go all in. If it’s a business idea, you drop everything and give your all to that particular business. In the case of a hobby or a talent, many people dedicate every fiber of their being to that particular talent. This is the main essence of the saying “All or Nothing.”

?

According to the Cambridge dictionary, the term means either doing something completely or not doing it all. While it may seem easy to adapt to such a philosophy, the fact is, it is quite risky to put your all into something. Hence, it requires courage, confidence, and decision-making skills to invest everything into a decision and stick to it. And since this sort of attitude is so hard to achieve, National All or Nothing Day was formed. The purpose? To push people to take risks.

?

Being a risk-taker leads to ample new opportunities. Don’t believe us? History is flooded with risk-takers who gave their all to their dreams. This includes Neil Armstrong, the first man to land on the moon. Though he was trained as a pilot in the navy, he decided to embark on a trip to the moon when he joined NASA. Another notable figure is Bill Gates, who dropped out of Harvard because he wanted to concentrate on Microsoft. Let’s not forget Henry Ford, who once upon a time reduced the prices of the Model T so much that he almost went bankrupt. This decision was taken only to maintain the demand for the brand.

1.?????????? Here's 8 Habits That Could Lengthen Your Life

?

This is from a Drugs.com article.

?

"A new study of more than 700,000 U.S. veterans breaks down the habits that when adopted by middle age, can help someone live substantially longer than folks who don’t have these habits.".

?

Three of the habits I hope no one has any? problem with following are, don't smoke, don't get addicted to opioids and don't binge-drink on a regular basis.? The other five are positive things you should do.

?

The results from "The study found that men with all those habits at age 40 could live an average of 24 years longer than men who have none of them. Women could gain an additional 21 years compared to their peers who have none of these habits."

?

Some of the results the study found was "Low physical activity, opioid use and smoking had the biggest impact on life span among the study participants. These were associated with a 30% to 45% higher risk of death during the study period.".

?

It was also found "“It is never too late to adopt a healthy lifestyle,”".

2.?????????? During Pregnancy, the Less Caffeine the Better: Expert

?

This is from a Drugs.com article.

?

The takeaway from this is the first statement in the article which says " When it comes to pregnancy and caffeinated drinks, less is best, says an expert, warning women to avoid energy drinks in particular."

?

The article discusses how much caffeine is in various items and how much of the items have how much caffeine.

?

The article states " The impact of caffeine on adverse pregnancy outcomes is a controversial topic, according to the latest edition of Williams Obstetrics, an obstetrics guide. High consumption of about 500 mg daily slightly raises the risk of miscarriage. Studies on less than 200 milligrams daily have not identified higher risk. Another recent study, of patients from 10 states, found that pre-pregnancy or first-trimester daily caffeine consumption was not strongly linked to birth defects.".

I have a member who is still not getting her Daily Digest to her icloud.com emai address.

The details on her bounce probe say

"Delivered

Jul 25

Response

2.0.0 Ok: queued as 013483099EC"

What does this mean please?

She writes "I keep getting in my Junk box a link to activate this problem? from the Groups io team". The member concerned is an elderly lady who is very computer shy and completely non-computer savvy. She is clearly uncertain as to whether it is safe to click this link which ended up in her Junk email box.

Any help/advice would be reatly appreciated. Thanks.

The message was a reply with 3 layers of untrimmed replies. When you view the message either on web or in your emails, it appears to go on to infinity with blank space. So I printed the page to a PDF, which is how I found out it was 14,989 pages long. Anyone who reads the message on web, cannot proceed to the next message because it is so far down the page.

I'm not sure how this happened.

Peculiar. Maybe his cat took a nap on the Enter key. :-)

When I went and looked at the source for the last shown quoted text in the corrupted message the header seemed strange. Mainly these two lines.

References: <[email protected]>
In‐Reply‐To: <[email protected]>

Those header fields should only show up in an email, not on something posted directly to the web site. This suggests the subscriber may have tried to cut-and-paste something from his mail client. Or maybe a binary object that had that many non-printable characters.?

You said that you used View Source. What character does all the whitespace consist of?
?

I can go and edit the message that is corrupted, but not sure if I need to also report this to support.

I'd suggest posting something about it in the beta group ()...if your group archives are public, maybe include a link to the message. Mark will probably want to look at it before you edit it.?

Having said, that I'm not inclined to react too strongly over a one-time incident. While it's certainly weird, but there's nothing built into the system that would keep a subscriber from composing and sending a message containing whatever they choose to type or paste into the editor.

Regards,
Bruce

I was wondering if there was an easy way to see which of my members is NOT part of a subgroup OR is there a way I can download everyone's subgroup affiliations?

There is no easy way.

I suggest downloading the member lists of the main group and all subgroups and merging them into one big CSV file. Open that in Excel and use the "Remove Duplicates" feature on the user_id field as suggested by Christos. Those rows that remain will be the people in the main group only.

Hope this helps,?

Need some help. It's been over a week since I have created an account. It has not been approved yet.

You mean that you created a group.?

I did a merge between two email addresses but that went thru ok. I waited 7 days and paid premium for 1 month.

How did you pay for premium if you don't have a group?

I can't get any support. I can't invite members. I direct added a couple of people but their messages don't show up.

The people have to accept membership. Did you look at Activity?

I have been able to get into the account and add our group descriptions and a picture. I would hate to delete and start over and loose my one month premium payment. I don't know if an approval email got missed but I've gone over both email accounts and can't find anything. Thanks for any advice.

Have you checked that you set your preferences properly for your group??

Hi - our group had a strange message posted to the group via web.

The message was a reply with 3 layers of untrimmed replies. When you view the message either on web or in your emails, it appears to go on to infinity with blank space. So I printed the page to a PDF, which is how I found out it was 14,989 pages long. Anyone who reads the message on web, cannot proceed to the next message because it is so far down the page.

I'm not sure how this happened. When I went and looked at the source for the last shown quoted text in the corrupted message the header seemed strange. Mainly these two lines.

That is not that persons normal Ref and Reply-To info. I can go and edit the message that is corrupted, but not sure if I need to also report this to support.
