Hi
I moderate a couple of groups and have a steady trickle of membership requests.
I would like to validate these requests by prompting the requester to provide information relating to the validity of their membership request.
Is there a way to do this?
In Yahoo, I seem to recall there was a field where prospective members could provide supporting information to their joining request.
Thanks in advance.
John W.

Anyone else having issues with their Email Delivery History for each member?
Today (Mar 9), when I checked the History for a few members, the latest delivery was Mar 7, even though we have messages for Mar 8 and today. Also, a pending member's History still shows nothing (no Pending or Welcome messages), and I've already approved her yesterday. Perhaps the History is delayed in being updated, as Shal has mentioned in his message below. No big deal - just wondering if it's unique to my group.

Thanks.
Lily

Looks to me like she's not logged in to the site.

I have a member who is unable to see anything on the left hand list of applications - can anyone give me a clue why - no-on else has reported this - she sent me a screenshot which may help - not sure if I can send attachments to this group.

Best wishes
Jan

Indeed yes; the Yahoo group did support X-No-Archive and one of our group members is disappointed that now we have migrated Groups.io doesn't support it.

Regards, Graham.

Go to Admin > Settings, scroll down to the Message Formatting section, and correct the spelling in the Subject Tag box.

You can put photos in the Files section, but it's a special feature that you have to enable.? Go to Admin > Settings and scroll down to the Features section.? Under the Files area, select the check box for "Allow Photos In Files" and save your changes.

I have just found out that you cannot upload image files in the group Files section.

In my YG group we used to upload posters, invites to events, etc. in the Files section. This allowed us to store miscellaneous documents, in different formats (including jpg), about various events under related folders.
Since attachments were not allowed in the group, it was also an easy way to give members access to materials of temporary interest through a link to a specific folder the Files section (link was sent through the Notify Members tab).

Now I have to upload image files in Photos and other documents in Files, even if they are about the same event. Besides, there is no Notify Members tab when you upload a new file in Photos.

It would be good to have the same opportunities offered by YG Files and be allowed to upload all documents in one place, regardless of their format.

When I started my Group, I made a typo. ?I changed the name of the Group to correct it (I thought), but it still sends out [incorrect name]correct name; with every mail. ?How can I correct this fully???

thanks in advance

David,

Ideally, I'd like to see the ability to (a) filter users by moderation
type, and (b) select all users from a filtered list to make changes

I'm all in favor of being able to filter and sort the Members list by all fields, not just those that have column headings. But yes, Posting Privilege is one that comes up frequently.

Laurence,

Although Mailman supports it for its archive, I'm not aware of any
other mailing list software that does. It has little point in a YG/GIO
environment ...

FWIW, Yahoo Groups does support it. Or at least did last time I tested it. Which is getting to be a few years ago now...

Is there another reason this can happen?

Some ISPs automatically block all email from an IP Address, if a
threshold number of emails from it are marked at spam.

Check the Activity log for the group.? It will say if she was removed for marking a message as spam.? Unfortunately, it may not have been done actively.? There are some email services that use a 'faulty' spam filter that puts things in the spam folder that it shouldn't.? Then, if the member doesn't notice and mark it as not spam, when the service automatically deletes it after awhile, it gets reported to Groups.io who removes the member.? This is required so that the site doesn't get a bad reputation causing the email service to block all emails from here.? It didn't happen on YG because they ignored the reports.

I don't believe there's anything in the Wiki here about it, but there are a lot of posts about it.

Having trouble getting started.? Looking for Customer Service.

List each step you have currently taken, in the order in which it was taken.
Be very specific in what you did, and where you did it.

You're absolutely correct, Duane! ?The system logged me out yesterday for the first time and, when I went to log in again, it put in an alternate email address. ?Thanks SOOOO much for the help!!! ?We LOVE groups.io.

A situation has come up in an offlist conversation.? Apparently, some folks/groups are concerned about group seniority when transferring from YG.? If that's a concern for you, you should use a secondary or disposable email address to create the new group so that your original join date will get transferred, along with your other information, when the group is transferred.

This group of users is probably as close as you'll find.? There have been quite a few threads about moving recently, so you may find that your situation has already been covered.? If there's a bug or serious problem, you can contact [email protected], but for operational questions, Mark refers people to this group or Group_Help.
