Yes, you can delete a photo and leave the post.
?
I opened the post. Clicked on Edit Message with the More.
Then checked the box to choose the one I wanted deleted. Then clicked to delete without sending it to members. The message is still intact. The paperclip icon is still on these test emails, but that *might* disappear. Not sure.

This works for photos and attachments.

I also could go to Photos, Emailed Photos. Selected the one to delete. Then click on Delete.?

Deleting an attachment but leaving the email in messages #question

 

Hi All,
?
Is there any way to delete the attachment to an email and leave the email?? When I clicked on More at the bottom of the email after going Admin-Preferences-Upgrade and clicking on the View Attachments next to Attachments line, which takes me to the specific email, the only choice that would delete the attachment is to delete the message.
?
At least that's all I could find.
?
Am I missing something?
?
Or would the best way to do it be for me to go to Emailed photos and delete the attached photos from there?
?
Sincerely,
?

You have to go to that member's page and scroll all the way to the bottom.? There you'll see a button to Send Confirmation Email.

Re: Members flagged as NC (email address Not Confirmed)

 

I no longer see an option to resend a confirmation email to a member flagged NC.? The option use to be there (I've used it in the past) but haven't seen it for about a year. I have a "grandfathered" free group.

What specific instructions will you give the person to confirm their subscription?
Even the Help doesn't say except to reply to an official request to confirm your subscription by replying to that email. Wouldn't it be better to resend the confirmation email?

Steve,
They would have received a confirmation email, whether they asked to join the group or were invited directly by the group owner. When one subscribe ¡°on the website¡± as you said, you basically send an email to the group¡¯s owners requesting to join that group.

and another who hadn't confirmed her email address and yet had amended her profile. So, I'm confused. ?
This person likely belongs to at least one other group. When you belong to more than one group in groups.io and make modifications to your profile, the changes are made across all the groups to which you belong (except for some specific to each group like email delivery).
?
I¡¯m not sure I¡¯d have the patience to follow up with over a thousand NC pending members. I would start with the most recent applications. Those NC who applied several months ago and haven¡¯t contacted the group to inquire might not be that interested in joining. In the member list¡ªin Admin¡ªyou could check all those NC members and download the checked ones to a .csv file. You could then more easily send bulk emails (IMPORTANT: you must BCC those email addresses for obvious privacy reasons) to explain that they¡¯ve recently applied to join the group but that they have not replied to the confirmation email. You¡¯ll have to give specific information on how to proceed if they¡¯re still interested in joining the group. Good luck!

As Dano mentioned, there is the member's own setting as well as the group setting for attachment size.
To see / change the member's own setting, go to a group, choose Subscription from the menu. Then Settings. Open Advanced Preferences. ?Check the size of attachment - there is a note that says "Maximum size of attachments sent to you in emails. For attachments larger than this size, links to retrieve them will be provided instead."

Hello
Is it possible to change the name of a group once it has members?

thank you

Re: Blurry photos?

 

Pat -
Is your group set to compress image size down to a certain limit for large images? What are the size limits that individuals who are having problems have set for themselves?

The Member help says: ?
Note:?
If you do not respond to the ¡°Confirm your Groups.io subscription¡± message, you will not receive group messages or have access to the group¡¯s website on Groups.io.
Tip: If you think you should be getting group messages but you are not receiving any, check the spam folder in your email application or webmail interface in case a ¡°Confirm your Groups.io subscription¡± message was routed there mistakenly by your email provider.
After you belong to at least one group, you will not receive ¡°Confirm your Groups.io subscription¡± messages for additional groups that you join by using the Join This Group button on those groups¡¯ websites.
?
Yes, you can resend a confirmation email to each. ?There is the option to do that in the individual member record. ?
Find the NC members using the filter in Admin, Members. Then open them, one by one. (I don't believe you can send the message to the whole group at once.)
?
Here's from Help - it says you can confirm them yourself if you have a premium or enterprise group. (That may have changed and frankly, unless you knew the person, I would prefer to know there really is a real person at the email address.)
?
Implications - Well, if you don't confirm them, you have an unrealistic notion of how many members you have. ?I would tackle it a bit at a time.

Members flagged as NC (email address Not Confirmed)

 

I help administer a support group on this platform. I just helped a new member resolve an issue with her new subscription as she wasn't receiving a copy of the group posts. Turns out it was something really simple...she hadn't confirmed her email address.
?
Curious, I checked for other members flagged as 'NC' and found over a thousand of them. I went through the site manuals, and it seems to suggest that you don't get access to the group unless you confirm your email address. That said, I checked activity logs and found one member flagged as NC who appears to have subscribed and not received a confirmation email (maybe she subscribed on the website rather than via email?), and another who hadn't confirmed her email address and yet had amended her profile. So, I'm confused.??
?
Here's my specific questions:
- Can NC members access the group via the website (they just don't receive posts via email)?
- Should I be reaching out to these NC members and get them to verify their email address??
- What's the implications if I do nothing? Am I fretting over something that's no big deal?

Many thanks,

Click the "Date" link at top right.

(I'd consult the manual, but enough has changed in the interface that I might not get a current answer.)
This has not changed.
