Hello, I tend to agree with Joseph Lee on this point and here is the reason why. If there would be two separate groups there would be fragmentism with in the groups and the one wouldn't know what was happening in the other group hence there would be more clutter with getting emails from both groups.
The way it is now we can all work together for the good of all and we will all keep up with what is happening and we can have a blended group and everything can move along more smoothly and we can help
Those who are not screen reader users understand that we are not out to sow discord among the members but we wish both sides to understand what the other side needs to maintain stability.
I hope everyone understands what I am saying
Here.

Mark reports that the problems with Invite, Direct Add and Profile edits we experienced this morning should be fixed now.

"I suspect this may be one for whoever runs <>Groups.io, but can they sort out their bulk email settings. Pretty much every time I get a digest from the <redacted> group I have to unbounce my account because their bulk email settings are dodgy and iCloud bounces it.

What "bulk email settings?"

Looks to me like iCloud is setting arbitrary standards. I'd be telling the affected member to contact iCloud about the problem.

Perhaps the iCloud standards are due to the size of the digest as compared to the device receiving the digest. I'd personally call a 100 kb email received on my iPhone rather unworkable... perhaps iCloud not only agrees, but also forces that interpretation on its users who are using mobile devices.

Exactly. This problem may go away as IPv6 gains traction, but for now it is usually the case that entire households, corporate departments, hotels, dormitories, libraries, and in some places /cities/ sit behind a single IP address assigned to their shared router.

Or the entire customer base of an ISP sits behind the IP address of a single (or moderate number of) outbound SMTP server(s)... the latter being the thing that actually connects to groups.io to deliver mail and thus is the IP address that groups.io sees as delivery is attempted. The IP address of the poster is down in the headers and isn't seen by Groups.io until after the message has been accepted... at which point some post-acceptance filtering of the headers would be required to zap just that one sender.

Yahoo rejected all incoming email from USER@... of it didn't originate from domain.com. Spoofing - rare to begin with - went to zero for my groups when that was implemented.

Hi,
In the short term, it may work; but in the long term, I can see it leading
to more fragmentation. Thus I would like to strongly oppose this idea. Even
if a supposed group is created, I plan not to join.
Cheers,
Joseph

Very few of the people wanting to join my group are handy with computers so I need to provide them with relatively simple instructions on how to join. I think I see two ways to join a group if the person does not already have a groups.io account.

I

When a new member wants to join a specific group and that group requires membership to be approved by moderators, which is the best process?

?

1. Create an account (sign up) with email and set a password; then go to the specific group and click “Join This Group” button,

or

2. Go directly to the specific group and then click the “Join This Group” button. This approach seems to kill two birds with one stone: the account is created and the group is joined. However, in this process, there does not seem to be a way to set the original password rather just a way to change a password.

How does the password actually get set in this approach? Does the new member enter a password and click on change this password since there is no “set password” option?

?

Don

Alan, I think it is a good idea. If nobody else besides Joseph is against it, I will definitely create though group and post subscription info here for those that choose to come over.

I learnt by trial and error (in the completely different context of creating
repetitive HTML code), making considerable use of the Excel Help file. If you
want some tuition, I'm willing to help a little, but I suggest we take it off
this group and do it privately before Shal jumps on us for being off-topic. In
case you can't see my email address in the headers, it is ejf@...

Mark just reported that he has fixed this bug.? Works now in my testing.
Toby

Are you editing the custom message on the Invite page -or- on the Admin -> Settings -> Member Notices area?? (Notice Type = Invite)
If you are in the Member Notices area, is the Invite notice set as Active? (checkbox)
Toby

I just tried editing mine and get a blank page after clicking the Update button.
Time to email support.

UBlock says it is not blocking anything.

No big deal, but what to do next?

I just tried this and it's not working for me, either.

There is something seriously wrong going on this morning with the server that handles member accounts.

Thank you, Duane. I wish there was some way to know timelines before starting the process, to let members know.

I’ve added a few words to my group invitation but they are not appearing in the invitation that the user receives.? How do I revise the wording?

With what appears to be an ongoing Invite problem, I'm reluctant to reply. But it's supposed to work like this:? Most of the wording in the invitation cannot be changed, but you can insert a custom message in the middle of it. Type what you want to say in the "Customize Message" box and it should be inserted into the "Invitation to Be Sent" box immediately above.

It's my understanding that much of the reason for the canned wording in both the Invite and Direct Add notices is because -- by law -- anyone added or invited to any [legitimate] group must be provided with a way to opt out.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

My co-owner and I are getting this same message whenever we try to invite a new person to our group. I typed her address in the invite and I still get the message. We are not trying to upload a file or anything, just send an invite to one email address. Any other ideas?

You're right. I just tried to invite my wife to my group and got the same error.

Time for a bug report, it seems.
