Than you for directing me to that part of the Help Manual.

I experimented with a dbase using the Link option, but I found what I wanted to link to took up way to much column space for my use. I was hoping instead of the link being displayed like this for example "/g/foggers", I might be able to embed the link into a word like this "FOGgers".

But making the committee be in a subgroup brings me back to these disadvantages:

(a) everyone would have to use [email protected] rather than [email protected] which is much cleaner, and

(b) everyone would have to belong to the (dummy) main group, which is likely to cause confusion, espcially with the email address situation described in (a).

Not a great situation.

It sounds like you didn't fully understand the Groups.io structure before you started using it. A committee is typically made up from a subset of the membership so it seems to make sense to have that in a subgroup. Everyone must be in the main group if they belong to a subgroup of that; it's how Groups.io works and 'main' is not a 'dummy' group. You may choose to make it an Announcement group so only Mods can post there and have another subgroup that all members are also in for general discussion but that seems more trouble than it's worth to me.

If you have subgroups, your main group can be addressed in two ways, either groupname@groups.io or main@groupname.groups.io. You can rename 'main' to something else if it helps (but be aware of the implications first). I renamed my 'main' group to 'allmembers' as that's what it contains and my members post to allmembers@groupname.groups.io to send a message to everyone in the group.

Your committee and subcommittee subgroups could then become committee@groupsname.groups.io and subcommittee@groupname.groups.io. Each subgroup is almost a stand-alone group so you can decide who goes where (with the proviso that everyone is a member of the main group).

If you are unable or not willing to change the structure of your group then perhaps your other alternative would be to create an entirely new group but that would likely involve extra admin for you or someone else.

If we switch the original main group to a subgroup, will the address [email protected] work ?? (I don't think it will work.)?

You can't switch a main group to become a subgroup and there are a maximum of two hierarchical levels (a subgroup cannot contain another subgroup). If you have a committee subgroup, put all the committee members in there. If some members need to be in a subcommittee but not in the committee subgroup, just create a another subgroup (of the main group) and put them in there. It will be the same hierarchical level as the committee subgroup but you can control the memberships separately.

I believe that, in Cal's scenario, "full" is a subgroup so the addresses will not be equivalent.

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.

I have NO Menu item "Billing."

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.

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!

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.

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