One of our members left the group via web, all moderators got a notification. Then today he directly rejoined the group with the same e-mail address. The activity log states "XY resumed their membership via web". We have no idea why he left and came back in a few days. Apparently, he wasn't removed because he marked a message as spam as we didn't receive any notification about that.

The question is: our group is restricted and new members need to be approved. How could he rejoin the group without being approved? Can members simply leave and rejoin, if they use the same e-mail address?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Marina

I'm reluctant to keep pestering Mark with what are probably simple questions but I'm having difficulty with the new site.....

Where do I go to update my homepage?? ?I do this every month but somehow I cant find where to do it today??? ?Maybe it's just me --- being old and stupid!!!

Can anyone help with some simple instructions please?

Thanks in advance,

Sorry to maybe be beating the proverbial dead horse, so to speak, but has Mark finally decided when the stagnant RI Members will be deleted/removed?

With my group, for instance, there are still a significant number of flagged members (close to 200) who have not made any effort to revalidate their member accounts. Now, after having sent 'round three or four emails to the group alerting what should be done, only a very few of these flagged members have done anything and were reverifed.

Now I'm wondering whether it might be time to just go ahead and remove those stagnant RI members. The greatest majority of these members joined my group more then five years or longer ago. They maybe still are reading posts online but some random checks show that they are apparently neither active nor participating otherwise.

At this point I'm very tempted to begin removing them. If this is a suitable option fine, but is there some other way of doing this which might be better? Or should I just wait 'til Mark Fletcher gets around to deleting them?

Please advise.

Hi - I just realized that I am not receiving messages sent to main+owner@ (and never have, I don't think!) ?They should be sent to my gmail address but they are not. ?The only thing I get is the request to join approval message. ?I'm the owner, my email is correct (I get everything else). ?I checked the "receive all mail" button. ?But nothing is actually being sent to me. ?In activity, I can see the message that I sent to myself (as owner), and can read it there, but that message is never sent on to my actual email address. ?

Am I missing something basic? ?Is there some place I can log in as the owner and read messages that are sent to owner? ?Is there somewhere else that lets you choose a different email address for the owner address besides the personal account of the owner?

I'm flummoxed!

Thank you!

Hello

In dark mode, a lot of our #hashtags have become virtually unreadable like



or



The whole idea of dark mode is to make text easier to read and to put less strain on the eyes, not more.
I'd like to stay with dark mode so is there a workaround when creating #hashtags?

Thanks

You can proactively send them another bounce probe. That's all.

/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-members/checking-for-bouncing-members?

If they don't receive the message and click on the link therein, they will remain in bouncing status.

If I know that a bouncing address is clear (I can send email to it with no problem), can I work around by unsubscribing the member, then doing a direct add?

That won't work. Bouncing is an account status, not subscription status.

Bruce

I manage the group for my Church.?
Many members (including older ones) are tech novices so it is difficult for them to follow the normal procedure to clear a bounce.

I know this is not the "approved" method, but I don't see anything forbidding it either. Opinions?

Thanks in advance,

Thank you Bruce...? I will join the beta group.
Many thanks for your help.

And remember notices, you will need to disable the leave notice if you have one active.

The 'Goodbye' notice is sent when a member voluntarily leaves a group and the 'Removed Member' notice is sent when they are removed by a Moderator.? The notices are only sent if they are marked as Active.

And remember notices, you will need to disable the leave notice if you have one active. To check to see what notices you have active, go to admin and two member notices.

Jack,
Moderation is? not just for Spammers/junk.? It is perfect for dealing with misbehaving members, so you can screen their posts and reject them if you find them inappropriate. If they continue their behavior then I would ban them form the group.

Hello Andy.?

I do not know what you mean when you say "switch to the new U".? Can you tell em what you mean by this?? Is this an option I can change in my forum here?? And if I do this, I can globally remove all the photos and files sent via email to my forum?? Do I have to pay Group IO extra money for this?

Thanks for trying to help me.

Jack -- This is not the place to post feature requests. Please join and post it as a #suggestion.

Please consider that the idea might get more traction with groups.io management if you ask nicely.

Hi...? It is a permission issue in Group IO.? I let all members make folders in the file area and the photo area.? And I regularly post a message detailing how they can go to the file area or the photo area and post and and text.? Few do this.? They just attach a photo or file to an email and post like that.

I will have to turn off file attachments for a while until I can delete all the files and photos people have posted.

I am sorry this can not be done with just one or two mouse clicks to remove all the photos and files that are attached to messages..? I pay good money to have my forum here.? I am not asking for much.

No it's not. You have to click the GIO logo first.

I also wish you could sort the results by group. The only sort key that works is Created date.
