Everything is pre-configured for the invitation to go out (any way to override? ... am I missing something here??).

The Direct Add email is not an invitation. It is a notice that they've already been added to the group.

I don't think this email can be overridden. There are legal reasons why a person joining a group must be notified and given the opportunity to opt out.

Hope this helps,
Bruce?

I think I understand that. What I'm struggling to understand is how punishing those who don't serves to fix the underlying problem.

P.S. By the way, you could make those members Moderators. Moderators can see all the member profiles.?

Deb,

But there are a few group members who need to be anonymous but still
need to be able to view the profiles of everyone else.

What is it they need to see that they don't want to show?

A profile can be effectively anonymous - containing only the member's
Display Name. In particular the member's email address is not available through their profile.

So I'm not sure what the concern is.

Sorry; I think that (in the absence of a fuller explanation) the above is simply unreasonable. Obviously (?) it may be a function of what your group's "business" is, but I cannot see why they should have the right to be "anonymous" while being able to view those who agree to make their profile public. Furthermore, if you have members who "need" to be anonymous, then that would apply to others with the same "need". Why should someone with a hidden profile be able to view the details of someone else with a hidden profile?

You could, of course, make them all moderators who have sight of all profiles, hidden or otherwise. Perhaps clarification of the word "need" might help.

Chris

Bruce, thanks. I do realize that subscribers can choose their display name and make their profile private. The problem is that, if a subscriber makes their own profile unavailable to other group members, then they themselves are also blocked from seeing anyone else's profile. Which is a problem for our group. Most group members will want their profiles to be viewable. But there are a few group members who need to be anonymous but still need to be able to view the profiles of everyone else.

In any case, I will just disable the directory feature for now. And invite the few individuals who need to remain anonymous to register with a new gmail address and to use an alias as their screen name.

Getting a new email address is extreme, and totally unnecessary. Subscribers do not appear in the Directory unless they opt in.?

See Subscription->Group Profile->Edit Group Profile. On this page subscribers can change their Display Name (or "alias", if you prefer) and modify their profile privacy as desired.?

Please note that the Member's list and the Directory are not the same thing.

I just transferred another group. It took almost exactly a week, but none of the files came over.

Scott,

... you can upgrade to Premium by going to
/g/airchairgroup/upgrade.
</g/airchairgroup/upgrade.>

I'm cc'ing this to support because the link is defective - includes a misplaced period. The correct link is:
/g/airchairgroup/upgrade

Now I received this message when I thought I would be billed or
invoiced on a monthly basis for the $10fee per month.

On the View/Change plan page there's a plan which is only a single month of Premium, which is separate from the automatic monthly plan or the Yearly plan. Possibly you had selected the single month plan?

I needed the extra storage space and I fear they whacked my files and
photos to the reduced minimum allocation space.

Only [email protected] can help you with this.

I just received the below message for a new group that I transferred over? and my intent was to pay $10 per month which
I did for the first month.? ?Now I received this message when I thought I would be billed or invoiced on a monthly basis
for the $10fee per month.? ?I needed the extra storage space and I fear they whacked my files and photos to the
reduced minimum allocation space.? ? In anycase the provided upgrade link does not work and all I get is an error message.
I would like some clarity on how the monthly fees are to be paid and I would like to have all my files, messages and photos back.

Well, in my group, there is occasionally a compelling reason for anonymity. The group members all know this and don’t mind if there are a few anonymous members, as long as the group owner (me) knows who they are and has approved their membership.

Hi,
? A user of one of the groups I'm a moderator of has reported?
problems with bouncing messages.? He is using a godaddy
web site and believes the problem is related to that - he also
has the same problem with another group.? He has been
using the same domain name on godaddy for a very long
time.

? ?===> Is there a problem with Godaddy and groups.io?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - Jim B.

Earlier today I received the request to make [email protected] a moderator for my group and to start the transfer.? Just recently I received an other email saying my group had too many files and photos.? One solution was to change max size to 1024x1024 pixels, but when I went to do that, I saw I already had that selected.

Is it common to need to confirm that choice?? Have any of you had this happen, too?? Is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Carol B.

Steve, you can pay for your group to have the direct functionality. That would be skipping the whole invite process and the approval process.

Go to Admin->Settings->Features->Files->Permissions and set to "subscribers can view and upload." Be sure to click the "Update Group" button at the bottom of the page afterward.

Hi

Have you looked at the three pricing options and the different features?

Frances

On a free group, it's either an invitation, by email to the group subscribe address, or they apply online.? If you upgrade to a Premium group, you can direct add them and they also won't need to complete the email confirmation step.

I have clients.? They've given verbal approval to participate in a group (it's better for them if they don't have to accept some sort of invitation; too inconvenient and sometimes it gets buried in their inbox).? Not a deal breaker for the client but they've already executed other formalities to become a client in the first place (would like to cut down on the administrative overload and skipping your invite would be one way to to this).

It depends on your group settings.
Check the permissions.

Maybe.? It depends on the group settings.? On the Settings page, scroll down to the Features section.? Then scroll a little farther to the Files area.? Check to see what the Permissions are set for.? It sounds like you want "Subscribers can view and upload".? If you don't want everyone to be able to upload files, you could make the treasurer a moderator, with whatever limited permissions you want them to have, and use Permissions of "Subscribers can view, moderators can upload".
