Initially, my reply was going to be “Duh!,” then realized I must have been using the app.
To wit: NO “Billing” on that menu.

Perhaps somewhere else?
Thx!

In addition to Frances' comments, if you can provide documentation that your
group is indeed a non-profit, or associated with Indivisible, you get a
discount:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If you are legally recognized as a non-profit organization, we offer a 50%
discount on our Enterprise plan. When upgrading your group, select the
non-profit discount. Also, please contact us so we can verify your non-profit
status.

"Is your group associated with Indivisible? Please contact support, and we will
upgrade your group to Premium for free."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know if this will make any difference, but I thought it was worth
mentioning.

You can look into paying for web hosting and set up a bulletin board type of
website using their free software usually offered with web hosting. Some web
hosting sites have a free plan. Most aren't expensive if your needs are simple.
There is a learning curve on learning how to build a bulletin board, or even a
Wordpress site, but I was able to put up a bulletin board after some
experimentation over a few day's worth of testing.

I'm sure there are other alternatives, but I don't feel this is the place to
discuss all of the alternatives since this group is about running a group here
on groups.io.

With the new user interface, it's somewhat moved. Admin > Preferences > Billing(Upgrade). It will give you exactly the same information as the Usage page, with some additional info below that.

ALL of the documentation is being rewritten to cover the new user interface and incorporating a new help system, but no due date. Until that happens, you may need to look around a bit, as in this case.

I am an Owner.
Not seeing where/how to check current usage, I read the following:

Hello! As an owner, I have the ability to message multiple individual members in one message under Admin/Members. As far as I can tell, a Member can only message their whole group or a single individual under Directory. I cannot find the answer in the owner or member manuals. Is there a way for a Member to send to multiple addressees in a single message through Groups.io? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you!

If you click on create a new group, a page appears with all the info. For free, it says:

If you just need a full-featured mailing list.

$0 per member
?
Unlimited Messages
Up to 100 Members
Advanced Moderation Features
1GB Storage Space

Not sure how to miss this!
/static/pricing

In the Help, in Getting Started guide, see /helpcenter/gettingstarted/1/step-2-decide-which-plan-you-want

And if you want to see what the status of your group is, go to Admin, Preferences, Upgrade.

Somewhere in the pre-creation documentation should be a clear list of the limitations of the free groups.

It should also be clearly listed in the group owner docs, and possibly elsewhere.

I created a group that had the potential for 5000 members. I searched the group owner manual for 'limit' in order to find out if there was any limit to the number of members in a group. The only reference to limits that I found were pertaining to 'storage limits'. This was not an issue for the group that I had in mind.

Imagine my surprise when applicants started sending messages that "Applications are disabled because this group cannot add any more members". I again searched the group owners manual with no success. Only after doing a Google search did I find messages that stated that member limits were imposed in 2021.

This caused considerable confusion, embarrassment and irritation. If we had known of this limitation, we would not have attempted to create the group on groups.io.

As a not-for-profit group with no treasury, a subscription that could cost up to $200 per month is not an option.

I recommend that this information be made clearly and plainly available to anyone considering the creation of a group.

More info here - in Member's Manual.

Check Table Column Types. Read about Link.

Go to your database. For the column you wish to have a clickable link, choose Type. Scroll down to select Link.

Update.

First, I wanted to remind you that the message archive does not count against your storage capacity in Groups.io.

It is difficult to bulk delete messages from the message archive.

The Help tells you a bit about deleting topics and individual messages.
/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-group-topics-and-messages/deleting-topics?single=true

I have moved messages into topics and put a timed delete hashtag on them. But I haven't tried it for years of messages.

I have looked in today’s PDF version of Groups.io_Owners_Manual and cannot find the answer to my simple question.
I would like to delete all messages (and their attachments) for a multi-month period.
For instance, my small group (~60 members) has just over 800 messages from 2021. Here’s that selection choice:


And the results from that “Go" presents:



Now that I’ve “Filtered” all messages between 2020-12-31 and 2022-01-01 (in this case, 805 messages), I’d like to click “Clear” or “Delete” or “Discard"

Yet this doesn’t seem to work. Can someone please point me to where in the Owners Manual I can find the instructions to accomplish this?

You can’t have subgroup members who are not part of the main group. If they are not a member already, they are automatically made a member of the main group when added to the subgroup.

If you have a small main group, you can make them the subgroup (and go no mail or special notices only for mail from the main group if they wish) and then add the new members to the main group.

I don’t know of any other way you can keep things confidential

We have subgroups, and the head of one of the subgroups wants to have new members that won't be joining the main committee (and we don't want them seeing the main group's archives or accessing the messages).? How do I set this up?

By definition, subgroup members belong to the main group so you cannot do that.

You would need to restructure how you do things and have committee messages in a subgroup that you restrict access to.

I am trying to import messages from a Mailman2.1 list archive, but when I set things up with the fromto.txt file and run ioimport.pl, I get:

sharky4.deepsoft.com% perl ioimport.pl
Content-Type: text/plain

first address in fromto.txt must be unmoderated

The e-mail address in question is set to "Override: not moderated".? What is going on?
