Michael,

I think of and understand:

Subscribers: as people who have a subscribed email address, but do not
have a Password, and can only receive and send messages to a Groups.io
group.

Members: as Subscribers who do have a Password, and can access the
Groups.io group website to access all available features.

I like that usage as well, but am not consistent about it. And the Groups.io UI and help certainly aren't consistent in its usage.

However I'm inclined to use Subscriber in any email context, regardless of whether the person has a password or has ever used the web site or not.

If those aren’t the correct names to refer to these two distinct
levels of Groups.io participation, what are?

Those "levels" are not as distinct in Groups.io as they were in Yahoo Groups, here they mostly reflect habitual participation.

One of the reasons the levels aren't as distinct is that every subscribed email address has a corresponding account - whether or not the user ever logged in to the web site to access it. Also, users can access their account (and groups subscribed by that account) at any time without setting or using a password - they can log in using a link sent by email instead.

No there is not. Nor is there for replies you post via the group's Messages section. They only surface if approved to post in the group.

It would be nice if there were an equivalent of the Sent folder, say on your Subscription page. Failing that, or maybe in addition to it, it would also be nice if there were a BCC me checkbox in both places (New Topic and Reply). It is possible that one or both ideas have been discussed in beta:

Thanks for hearing my question and clarifying.

(My response to the other non-answer to my question passed each other by while posting) :)

See /static/help#dupemail If you check the box, you will receive a copy when you post online (as you wish), but will get a duplicate copy (i.e.: along with the one your client saved) whenever you send by email. If you uncheck the box, you will not get any emails you sent yourself, no matter where you send it from. You can't have it both ways.

Hope this helps,

No, it doesn’t. My question has nothing to do with sending a message through my email provider.

Let me try the question again:

1) I click on “New Topic” on the GMF Groups.io group website (to which I am subscribed and have a Password)

2) I write and send a message.

3) It appears I have no copy of that message, unless and until it is approved and sent out to members of GMF

4) Only then do I have a copy of it (by receiving it through email) - if it is not approved, it seems I have no copy of it.

5) Before it is approved (if ever), is there a copy of my message submitted by clicking on “New Topic” on the GMF Groups.io group website, that I can find and refer to?

6) If so, where and how can I find it?

Members and Subscribers is synonymous.

I have encountered many situations where this would be handy, including the placement of a group photo on the group's home page (using an <img> tag) and being able to insert a link to our membership application in our Pending Subscription notice.

Optimally, I would prefer it to be a security option at the folder level, not a group setting. If you were to I would give it a bump.?

Members and Subscribers is synonymous. If you want to give any of your subscribers special privileges, you have to make them Moderators.

Photo albums are sorted alphabetically by default, but you can change that using the "sort by" menu at the top right of the page.?

If you leave and come back, it will be sorted alphabetically again.

Your email program/provider created a copy in your Sent folder.

Yes, I stated and understand that.

Groups.IO does not have access to your mail folders on your PC or web mail so there's no way it can put a copy there.

Obviously

(and that's not something that can ever be done so please don't ask.)

Agreed. I wasn’t asking that.

If the group is moderated, the post will not be visible on the web until after approved.

Yes, I stated and understand that.


What I meant, and apparently may not have been clear enough about is:
When I use the New Topic feature (because I did not send it through my email provider and of course do not have a copy of it in my Sent folder) it seems I do not (have a copy of it in my Groups.io group that I sent the message to, until and) only if my post is approved will it then appear as a New Topic.

So what I was asking is:
if (I use the New Topic feature) is there (a copy of my post somewhere in my Groups.io group that I sent the message to), (and if so) how can I find it?

I want the public to view what's in Files and Photos so, at the moment, my only option is to store them outside Groups.io. In that case, it would be easier to build the site outside Groups.io as I already have a set of working HTML files and linked image and non-image files.?

Otherwise, would an optional setting for Files and Photos Permissions be a reasonable request?

1. Public can view
   1. Subscribers can view
   2. Subscribers can upload

It's not clear what the difference is between Subscribers and Members, and both terms are found in SETTINGS. An example of how this can work for us (and possibly others) is, if we want to have "members" be able to create albums, upload and edit in PHOTOS, but "subscribers" be able to view and download only. It would include adding more "members" selections to the drop-down selections in settings.

My formatting bar is missing that Paper Clip to add photos to messages.

Clint,

This happens if the group is configured to disallow attachments. It must be set to "Allow" if you want to add attachments.

The setting is found here:?Admin > Settings >
Scroll down to: Messaging Formats > Attachments?

I'm sorry if this has been hashed out over and over but i've received numerous replies from members who reply to the group rather than individual and when i reject and ask them to reply to original poster they say they
can't figure out how to do it --?

So I switched the group to reply sender and group and now have a member who replied to moderator and when I checked the digest -- the only options are?

Dale:
You did not say just why the owner is locked out of Yahoo.
Forgot the password?
You can request a new one.
But it has to go to an alternate e-mail address since it cannot go to Yahoo.
Just create a Hotmail address and then use that for receiving the new Yahoo address.
Not sure that the owner has not done this, but I thought it might help.

Email photos at the top is great. A suggestion would be to have the last album created be next in the list, saving subscribers the need to sort the entire photo gallery. For example, we just had an event where I created an album for folks to put their pictures in ... it went to page 3 of albums, so no one could find it. Or, a way to set it so in SETTINGS?

Thank you Gerald, that surely did the trick. All set
