Re: Question: +owner messages

It's probably been asked and answered, but where do I find the +owner messages? If you click open someone's member record, there's a pull-down "Membership" menu where you can select "+owner messages." This will display a sorted list of every one they've ever sent, with the most recent first. Note: Until about a year ago, this page was accessed via a button, not a menu.

Of course, you have to know who sent it to do this. To retrieve a single, recently-sent message, clicking the link in the corresponding activity log entry might be easier than trying to hunt down their member record.

So you found the message in Admin - activity. And now click on the message - the subject - to open it up. You can read and reply from there.

I've no idea why I couldn't do this the first time. I suggest you have one last talk with the group Owner. He may have given you additional Moderator permissions in the intervening period -- specifically, the "Set Member Subscription Options" permission.

They should also be able to merge accounts if needed, though that sometimes causes problems. Merging accounts fails to reassign any old content (messages, files, photos, even group ownership) to the new email address.* Thus I would not recommend that.

Re: Member Display Name Change?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYes, Bruce, this IS a subgroup.? I went to the main group as well and the edit was disallowed there too.? The group OWNER couldn't edit it.Okay, belay that.? I'm not sure what I did last time now, but THIS time when I tried to edit the display name in the parent group, it DID allow me to make the edit.? I've no idea why I couldn't do this the first time.? Okay, I get that it can't be done in a subgroup, which is where I first tried, but I also tried the parent group, and neither group allowed me to change the name.? THIS time, it did.? And I did remember to hit the "Save" button.? ;-) I got nothing.? No idea where it went sideways.? Thanks for pointing out that subgroups aren't the right place to make this change.? Noted.

Re: Member Display Name Change?
If you would re-read the post, you'll see that I could NOT edit the entry; it ignored all attempts to edit the name.? To save it would have just saved what was already there, which I was not allowed to change.? I fully understand that edits need to be confirmed, and have done so on many occasions, but this edit was disallowed, which is the root of my question.

Re: Member Display Name Change?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYou answered your own question.?If you do NOT CLICK CONFIRM (or Save, or whatever the button at the bottom is called on that page) IT WILL NOT KEEP THE CHANGE! This applies to virtually all potential changes on literally any screen. Whether made by the member, moderator or owner! On Mar 11, 2025, at 09:56, kharrisma@... via groups.io <kharrisma@...> wrote:

Member Display Name Change?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Folks,I'm a group moderator, and I was asked by a new member to change her display name, by removing her last name.? Went to the record, highlighted her last name and hit delete... nothing.? Put the cursor at the end and hit backspace... nothing.? Bucked it up to the account owner, and he couldn't do anything with it either.? Oddly enough, I *did* receive two groups.io "group notification" emails that said the member's name *had* been changed... but as of just now, before submitting this, the display name in her account shows no change. I shot her an email outlining the steps needed to make the change herself, but it leaves me with a question: why was I (and the group owner) unable to make this change? In checking the Group Owner's manual, it clearly says in section 11.2, third bullet down, "Owners and moderators can edit the Display Name field in individual members¡¯ records (but be aware that members can change their own display names as mentioned above)."? Either that's not completely correct, something has been changed and the manual hasn't caught up yet, or we're both doing something wrong.? I never bothered to click the "Confirm" button at the bottom of the page, since I couldn't do anything to make the last name letters go away; there was no visible edit TO confirm.? Is this where I went wrong in failing to bring about the requested change? Thanks for any clarification you can provide! Karl |
