How did you get to that selection of options you posted the image of? All I can see is Messages, New Topics, Drafts, and New Poll. When I click on New Poll, I'm taken to the New Poll creation page. At the very top of that page I can see the name of my group/Polls (with the icon)/New Poll. Clicking on Polls (with the icon), displays all our past polls.

Re: Pictures placed in messages end up bunched up at bottom of message
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýKen,
I had a look at these two message sources and you're using Apple Mail to compose and send in the messages. I'm no expert in message formatting by any means but it looks like the issue is with Apple Mail config or the way you're formatting the messages, has anything changed in its configuration/settings or something, for composing new messages? One things that's different between the two, a "good" one shows this: Content-Type: multipart/alternative;vs a "bad" one: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; There are other differences on how the message source is displayed due to the above differences, the good one shows this: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=vs the bad one: ============================== plus some other formatting differences due to the Content-Transfer-Encoding difference. Again, I'm not very knowledgeable in message formatting, but it almost looks like the bad ones were sent strictly as text-only (instead of HTML), and that would cause any embedded inline images to appear at the bottom as (true) attachments. Or something to that effect, things point to the way the messages are formatted when sent in and not due to Groups.io handling. Cheers, Christos |

No I am not seeing that or having it reported by my subscribers But rather than your account being hacked, it sounds like one of your subscribers email accounts has been compromised Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 16/09/2024 18:42, Sally Ahnger via groups.io wrote:

This is a classic phishing ploy.
?
The "bad guys" harvest email addresses of people who have some relationship to each other, and exploit that by sending a message to one of them purporting to be the other one. Usually, I see this in my non-profit organization, where I receive mysterious messages from the "President" asking me to contact him or send money somewhere. The spammer has obviously stolen our addresses from our web site (where I am listed as a board member).
?
It can also be done via phone call. We once had someone call claiming to be our grandson, who had just gotten into a wreck. My wife got all upset about this until I asked to be handed the phone and demanded that the caller provide his name.
?
"It's me, your grandson."
"Yes, but what is your NAME? You know your own name, don't you?"
[Wild guess...] "Mike Bowman?"
?
I hung up on him.
A hacked account seems unlikely, especially if you're not the one who seems to be "sending/receiving" these messages. That said, there are steps you can take to inhibit spammers from harvesting email addresses:
?
1) Set "Member List Visibility" to owners only,
2) Make the group's message archive private, and/or
3) Turn on "mask email addresses in archive"
?
?
Hope this helps,
Bruce

One Drive hack/spam
Hi All,
Members of my group are reporting a malicious email, not sure whether to call it phishing or not. ?It purports to be one member of the group sharing a One Drive document with another member and asking the recipient to click on a link to see the document. ?The email is from one member to another using their email addresses. ?It doesn't go through groups.io.
Are other groups seeing this, or does it mean that my account has been hacked?
Thanks
Sally

If you join the group, you could look at the source code of the messages to see if there are differences? in how the photos were included, say imbedded vs attached.
