Re: How do I edit my member's names?

 

Funny, in my group anything that even looks like a real name is not permitted!
Real names can lead to real trouble.

New RSVP event going to Monthly calendar instead if individual event #calendar #rsvp

 
Edited

Hi all,
Sorry, the subject should have been RSVP event goes to monthly calendar instead OF individual event.

The subject of this message says it all. I set up a trial subgroup to test new a few changes to my group, and when I set up a repeating event, the RSVP takes me to this month's calendar, rather than the individual event. This is going to confuse my members who rely on the email to take them exactly where they have to RSVP.

I have no problems with similar events on my actual site, but I'm a bit concerned that this might happen to my main site. Has anyone else run into this?

Thanks
Norm

For most e-mail clients hold down the CNTL key and spin the mouse wheel to decrease/increase the font size.? Does that work for you?

Hello. You got a response from one of the nvda debs yesterday I believe, please reach out to them and see if they can see what is going on so they can then reach out to groups.IO re accessibility and next steps. Or try list view as someone else suggested.

Thanks and happy Tuesday.

OH yeah, list view also helps as well.I always default to that with almost any view if at all possible on any website as it just works and is way less cluttered, or at least is most of the time.

The only way I could get it to show all events is to use something other than Month.? The closest I could get to the Monthly view, and still see all events, was to use List view.

Re: Unusual Invitation Status

 

Thank you, Duane.

?

I know the recipient of the invitation is receiving it. The attempts to respond are time-stamped shortly after I send the invitation (I¡¯ve sent two). This notice comes up in the ¡°Sent Invitations¡± area, where we can see if an invitation has been accepted.

?

I decided to ask the person for a different email address.

Blessings of hope and joy,

That's not all that unusual.? It means that there's a problem on the other end and the message isn't being delivered.? It's normally a temporary thing (the deferred part), though it can take some time to work right.? All you can do is keep trying to see if it will eventually go through.

Unusual Invitation Status

 

I've been receiving the following notation for an invitation

"Deferred - dial tcp4 15.197.148.33:25: i/o timeout"

I've sent the invitation twice with the same response. The invitation has the same settings as the others and all other invitations have been accepted normally.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you.

Re: Font Size when posting messages

 

My font sizes are all messed up, too.

I wish someone would check my account to see what's wrong. ?

Before the changes default was Helvetica Neue and size 16 was perfect.
Now it's System-UI and I have to use 24 to get the previous 16 size font.

It's a pain to change everything every day every time!!!!

Thank you.

Font Size when posting messages

 
Edited

When I am posting messages message comes out very small and is extremely difficult to read.? The font size on this group is much bigger and easier to read.? And the font from origional site is same size as this font but comes out like below any suggestions?? Thanks in advance for your help.
??

When I originally posted before it was approved for posting this was very small and now appears normally.??


  • Ingredients
    • 2?bananas

    • 2?cups?dark chocolate chips (if you prefer a sweeter treat, swap with semi-sweet)

    • ??cup?almond butter?

    • Flaky sea salt, optional

    Directions
    1. Slice bananas into ¡°coins¡± and lay them out on a parchment paper lined dish or tray.

    2. Spread some almond butter onto one of the banana coins and use another piece of banana to create a sandwich. Continue until all of your banana slices are used up. Pop the bananas in the freezer for an hour or so.

    3. Melt chocolate in a heat-safe glass bowl. (I melt mine in the microwave in 15 second increments.)

    4. Take the bananas out of the freezer and use a fork to gently dip each into the chocolate, so it covers at least half of the banana sandwich.

    5. Once all of the bananas are covered in chocolate and are back on the tray, sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top of each one. Pop them back in the freezer until hardened, about 30 minutes.

    6. Enjoy immediately or store them in the freezer to savor at a later date. Your chocolate banana bites will stay fresh for up to a week (if they last that long).

I am a blind administrator and use NVDA as my screen reader. I am using Firefox as the browser, although the same issue exists in Edge. My problem occurs when using the calendar, in my case in the Monthly table option. When I go through a day's events, it will read the first couple, then the last events for that day will be displayed as plus one more, or maybe plus two more.

I have tried maximising the browser, and even using the Restore option, but nothing seems to work.


Can anyone tell me how to display all the events on the Monthly table? I know this can be resolved as I've done it before by maximising the browser, but this isn't working this time. This is causing a problem as I can't edit any events where this occurs, and I can only use the Monthly option for accessibility reasons.

Re: Help needed - Blind administrator re: Calendar

 

Hi Simon,
Please send an email to info@... (and also to me) so we (NV access folks and I) can take a look at it (at least one NV Access dev is a Groups.IO admin, so they should be able to reproduce it).
Cheers,
Joseph

Re: List of group Owners/Admins/Moderators

 

"I¡¯m not saying that should enforce, or even suggest it, but why don¡¯t more do it themselves?

Otto" in ref. to groups listing the names of mods, owners, etc.

I run a large number of genealogy or genealogy society focused groups. My name is irrelevant to 99% of the users, because they care about the topic, not the community surrounding it. Those involved in the community aspect know who run the group and are the most likely volunteer mods.?

Your mileage may vary.
