Re: Is there a menu option called "All Topics"? One Member claims his menu has it in place of New Topic.

Alternatively, when at the groups.io/topics page, your member could click on "Your Groups", the menu item right above "Topics". From there, they'll be able to choose your group. In addition, from the site overview page, /groups, you can just click on the group name and be taken directly to the Topics page for that group.

I'm glad we have the Past Members filter, but don't see how I can use it to reinstate a member. Currently you cannot do that although that facility has been requested before.
Do I need to manually add them in again???Yes. Or they can try and subscribe and you can approve that (assuming you have restricted membership). ?

Thank you, Bruce. I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't even know that was available. Another 5 years of membership and I might get there... ;)
Alternatively, when at the groups.io/topics page, your member could click on "Your Groups", the menu item right above "Topics". From there, they'll be able to choose your group. Once there, they'll see the left hand side menu with both "Messages" and "New Topic".?

This member says he is not able to introduce a New Topic, even though he has posting privileges. He's probably at /topics?

This displays all the topics in the all groups he's a member of; if he's subscribed to only one group (yours), it may look similar and perhaps lead to confusion.
?
You'll likely have to do some hand-holding and provide the actual URL of your group's messages page.?

Is it in English or in another language? If the latter, it could be a translation issue. A screenshot showing the left side menu, as Frances suggests, would be useful. Or, if the member doesn¡¯t know how to do that, maybe you could ask them to list the items in that menu. Also, you can tell them that the icon for it is a square with a pencil coming from the top right corner.

Re: about special notices
No, that's something they'd have to do in their email program when replying.? I don't think there's anything Groups.io can do about.? Maybe if the reply were made online, but that would be a minority on most groups.? To be clear though, it's NOT actually sent as a Special Notice unless it's sent by an admin of the group.

Re: How to tell if a post is a special notice?
On Wed, Oct 2, 2024 at 05:02 PM, I wrote:
If a hashtag is applied, there is no indication of this while in pending status, and you just have to remember which of the perhaps hundreds of hashtags have the "special" flag set. Well Pete, I was wrong.* In both cases (ticking the checkbox or applying a hashtag) the Special badge will appear on the pending message and the activity log entry will say "sent special notice."

Although these log entries do contain links to the messages, as with the message base itself there's no good way to filter them. Still, better than nothing.

Is there a way to tell in the archive whether a post was sent as a special notice? If the "send as special notice" checkbox is ticked during message composition, the message will display a "special" badge while in pending status, and the corresponding entry in the activity log will say "sent special notice" rather than "sent message."?
?
If a hashtag is applied, there is no indication of this while in pending status, and you just have to remember which of the perhaps hundreds of hashtags have the "special" flag set. Further confusing the issue, regular members (non-Mods) cannot send a special notice even if they apply the same hashtag.
?
As I look at my group exports, the data available suggest that this information might not be stored at all...the message just goes out immediately to everyone not on "no email" and that's it. But if it is, I agree it would be handy to be able to filter on it.?

I have at least one member of my subgroup who is not a member of the primary (parent) group. This seems unlikely. When someone is approved for a subgroup they are automatically added to the main group. A person can, however, have a different Display Name in the subgroup vs the main group. You need to look for a matching email address, not rely on other data elements.
