Unable to mute #hashtags

Southenders Admin
 

I have a user who insists that he is muting topics and hashtags, but is still getting those messages. Is there a way to check the in the activity log?

Copies of my own emails to the list

I am the owner, but I would like one copy of each email sent to the group except messages I send.? Is there a configuration option for this or do I get to write an inbound mail filter in Thunderbird?

Best,

Glenn

I don't see why it would make much difference.? It could also cause problems for some groups if it doesn't bounce.

I wouldn't want an email about it.? I do everything online and was well aware of this downtime.? I don't want more unnecessary email, so I'd want a way to disable it.

I suspect that part of it is the fact that it happened at 5 am PDT, so there may not have been an expectation that many people would notice.

I was on a Chinese conference call early this am, never saw the notice until members started emailing me wanting to know if we had been hacked (piks of cats)

Hi
as the owner of several user groups, that I maintain using email, is is quite annoying
to get bounced email just because a user or message was already approved.
When you have multiple owners or admins, it is quite possible that one of
them already approved a message or user request, without the other?
owners or admins knowledge.

How about just accepting the email and killing it instead of bouncing it.

Indeed so; I was hinting to Steve that he might like to consider that approach, given that he raised the point to start with.

Yes, that was my hope, too!

?

I take your other point but would still like to be able to do it, anyway!? This is a very small group set up for discussion of a specific subject matter and, therefore, allowing people to opt out of individual topics is inappropriate to the business of the group.

?

It¡¯s a shame that this isn¡¯t a configurable item at list owner level.

To my knowledge this is not possible; but if you don't tell anyone what this feature means, few people will bother to look into it on their own initiative.

Hi, Frances

Thanks for the tip on nomail - I spotted that one! ?

It was being able to stop individual's opting out of a thread that I was wanting to do rather than muting it for all.

Thanks
Richard

Richard,

Group members only mute receipt in their own mailbox. It does not affect delivery to other members nor does it stop the appearance of the topic or posts on the group site. It allows members to manage the flow of email to their inbox.

I do suggest you disallow ¡°no mail¡± as an option, if you haven¡¯t already done so. I have also set groups I started to the options that send only the first email in a thread and then allow members to opt into (¡°follow¡±) a topic.

I¡¯m confused (not unusual at my age).?

?

Is there a Beta (as in pre-production testing) System or was this outage on the production system?? If the latter, why was the outage notice posted in a Beta Group and not sent to this group (maybe even as a special notice)??

?

If this outage only affected a Beta system (and not the released production system) I¡¯m not sure what all the hoopla is about as Beta systems by definition are pre-production and exist for testing and bug fixing so it should not be surprising that they are more volatile than production.?

?

So, what am I missing here?

Re: Down for Maintenance Notice

 

Unfortunately, Page banners don't get to email only members.
While I didn't bother to inform my menbers (because, after yahoo's weeks and months of issues, a couple hours' outage is a blip)?
I think a global email or notice to all moderators & owners would have been a good idea.

Indeed there was, but from a poll on "my" Group it is only a minority of users who use the web interface "regularly"; the majority (78%) never use the web interface or only do so "occasionally". If this is typical across all groups then the greater majority would have had no warning of the break in service. In some respects it becomes a case of leading the horse to water but being unable to force it to drink...

I didn¡¯t even know there was a site closure for maintenance, let alone a notice it was going to be done. I have experienced a couple site closures in the past (which is to be expected from time to time), but it didn¡¯t really bother me because I had other things I could do. The good thing is Groups.io is not buggy like YG was/is, which was much more frustrating to me, and the reason I moved our group.

Re: Down for Maintenance Notice

 

Chris,

Can I suggest a request on the beta group, suggesting that planned downtime be given publicity beyond the very limited number of beta habitu¨¦s?

You may suggest it, but unless someone actually posts to beta (or support) about it, no one employed by Groups.io will know about it.

Even if it had been published on this Group then there is absolutely no certainty that every Group Owner would have known about it; even 849 members must be a lot less than the total number of Owners.

When I looked just now there were 6777 listed groups, plus an unknown number of unlisted ones.

Not to mention apparently over 2.25 million users.

it is unacceptable not to have well publicized advance notice when groups.io will be down for maintenance.

You need to also consider that "maintenance" can include unscheduled downtime, such as equipment failure.

In addition to the other replies, there was a notice at the top of every page early this morning that the downtime was coming up.

Hi All,

?

From time to time all computer systems require updates. I for one want to thank Mark for a quick and speedy update. When I consider the weeks of downtime and lost messages of Yahoo Groups, this was a blessing!

Monday I did a direct add to our group ?( nbtpchoir ) and received confirmation that it was approved and individuals would be notified. However there are still no individual members added. Does it normally take this long?
Go to Admin->Members to ensure they aren't there yet. Direct Add does exactly what it says...it adds a member directly to the group. There is no subscriber activity needed and you won't receive further notifications (unless that address starts bouncing or something).

If they aren't there yet, try again; be sure each email address is correct and on a separate line.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
