filter by NMM (new member moderated) who by default have never posted

That would be the case if the NMM value was initially set to 1. If the NMM value is initially set higher it is decremented each time a post is made so a member could still have a NMM status but have posted messages.

I can't think of a way to do this via the web UI.? You could write some code to use the API though.? If you use the /getmembers endpoint, it returns a member object for each member.? The member object contains a timestamp for the most_recent_message and it may return 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z if no message has been posted so you could identify the members in question. You would need to do additional processing to send them an email after that. I haven't tested this but the API would be my start point if I wanted to do it.

I've done some testing and the most_recent_message always seems to be set to 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z so using it to identify members who have not posted a message does not work as it stands. I've raised a query on to try and determine if it should be set or if it has some other purpose.

My previous post referred to a 'member object' but to be accurate, it's actually called a 'Member Info Object' in the API documentation.

Figured it out. Bouncing addresses are not counted in the directory number.?

This means you have 15 members who are either Bouncing, Not Confirmed, or RI.

Such inactive subscriptions do not count against your membership quota.

Accounts that are bouncing (B status badge), or whose email address is not confirmed (NC), also do not appear in the Directory.

The glossary says: ?

?

Member directory
An index of the profiles of group members who opt to share their profile with the group. Owners can specify whether a group’s directory is visible to all members or only to owners and moderators, or whether the directory feature is enabled at all.

And

In Admin - Member list
A list of all of the members in a group along with their display names, email addresses, message delivery options, join dates, and bounce status. The list also includes any members who have been banned. Owners can specify whether a group’s member list is visible to all members (which requires the group to have restricted membership) or only to owners and moderators.

Is there any way of getting such statistics in one go, such as seeing how many times all the members have started a thread or participated in one. Maybe what tags they used if they started a post,

If you have or upgrade to an Enterprise group, you have the option of using Google Analytics and that may give some of what you want. An alternative would be to download the Activity Log and do some processing on that.

Also a way to email all members who have never posted for example, and any other useful tricks?

Just to start this off, Directory isn't the place to look if you want to see all of your group members. You need to use Admin, Members. There are some dropdown menus once you are there. It won't be in one go, though. It will be member by member. There is also Activity.?

?

It is possible stats may be available through exporting the message archive. Anyone with info or experience on this??

Hello GMF members.

I think the answer is always going to be "no", but I want to make sure.

Thanks

Thanks Andy. I'll layout an enhancement proposal for this functionality and submit it to Beta this evening.

Desired behavior:? Once an individual user's delivery preferences for main have been set, any subgroup they join after that point will automatically inherit that same delivery preference.? ?This is at the user level, not Admin -> Membership -> Defaults for the whole group itself.??

The answer is No as you suspected. Each subgroup operates almost as a stand alone group and new joiners will take the defaults set for that rather than those of the main/parent group.?

This has happened before, but only when an email message is sent to multiple groups.? I have no trouble receiving other group messages sent to these groups.? I think you might be correct about an Outlook rule filtering issue on my email client, thanks for the suggestion!
