Not receiving verification emails
I've signed up two test accounts, one from my vanity domain and one from my work email, and both are "NC" because I cannot seem to get a confirmation email! I may try my .gov email address next! But has anyone had issues with verification emails? We just migrated over from YG, and I'm concerned that any new members from here on out may not be able to confirm their memberships. And I can't even manually confirm them as the owner!?
I did email support about it, but I know that this is a free service, and I may not hear back for a while. I'd like to make sure this doesn't cause any issue for new members going forward. -Max H. |

Re: Bounced Member
Sandra,
Please see this message related to your situation? /g/GroupManagersForum/message/11660 To resolve bounces: 1 go to members page and see the email delivery history bounce error messages. 2 communicate those errors to tech support at the member's email service provider AS THEY ARE THE ONES DOING THE BLOCKING. 3 wait til tech support says the problem is fixed. 4 now send a bounce probe to see if the problem is really fixed.?? 5 if the probe email is delivered and the member responds to the probe, groups.io will resume sending email to the member. The member will not receive email, including a bounce probe email, until his service provider stops blocking email from groups.io. Good luck! Toby |

Re: Bounced Member
I doubt that deleting him from your group would change anything since the email address is the account and it's the account that is bouncing.? The best solution would be for the member to log in to the web site, as distasteful as that is for some.? It's not as bad as it sounds if you use the information at /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/How-to-Set-a-Personal-Password-and-Profile%3B-Changing-Email-Address.? Once logged in, they can click on their name at the upper right, then select Account from the drop down.? On the page that opens, click on Recent Bounces on the left menu.

Re: Still trying to adapt to the new group settings.
Barbara,
Does that mean that the 'invite.ics' won't appear either?I believe so. I think the .ics file is attached only to the invitation, if you send one, not to reminders or to the event notice.

Re: request for information
Paul,
?
?
I don't know if there are version numbers. Certainly none user-facing that I know of. Note that GMF is a user-to-user community so we don't have access to internal information.
?
That said, have a look at the #changelog hashtag, either in GMF or in the beta group - you'll see that there are multiple updates nearly every week.
?
?
I think the answer is "a couple million", based on user ID numbers that have been spotted. How many of those are still active might be anyone's guess.
?
?
One.
?
?
It was once said to be. Seems to be back-burner as the responsive web pages work pretty well on mobile.
?
?
Groups.io no longer seems to be flying the Beta flag on its home page, but I'm not sure when that happened. The doors were opened to the public in September of 2014 (see the About link at the bottom of every Groups.io page).
?

Re: Files button inactive
Marilyn, I a totally disgusted with trying to get this issue solved. It has been months since I reported it. Reported it where? If only to GMF then you're barking up the wrong tree. GMF is a user-to-user community. How do I reach the support for io groups, ... Have you tried the Help page? There's a link at the top and bottom of every Groups.io page. Found a bug? We work hard to make sure there aren't any bugs, but some do slip past us. Please contact us at [email protected]. Any and all information you can provide to help us reproduce the bug is appreciated.

Re: Files button inactive
It sounds to me like some settings have been changed that limit the options for the group, creating these problems.? As the group owner, you should make sure everything is set correctly.? Group owners should send bug reports with all the details to [email protected].
Have you tried the tips given to you in /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/24155703 and /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/24947603? It's possible that the group has exceeded it's storage capacity which would prohibit new files from being uploaded.

Re: Privacy questions
When you create a group, you set whether the messages (archive) are publicly viewable or private (not publicly viewable):
If you set private, you get the following warning - "Are you sure you wish to make this group's archives private? Private archives cannot be reverted later." (If you set public, you might be able to change to private later, not sure about that.) On the group's homepage you will see one of 2 options: (archives refers to the messages)
Thanks Toby |

Re: Still trying to adapt to the new group settings.
Barbara,
When creating the event, uncheck Send Invite To Group. Also, if you didn't, check Send Notice To Group When Event Happens rather than adding any reminders. That way it is posted at the date/time you chose for the event rather than in advance. -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |
