?I have been "kicking the tires" on groups io and have some questions: what is the current version number, how many users, how large is the support staff, is a mobile app forthcoming, Are? references available, what was the release date of the first non beta version.
My organization is currently using big tent for a communication system.? Unfortunately big tent is going out of business on December 31.
Thanks for your help.

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)
- Archives are visible to subscribers only.
- Archives are visible to anyone.
So the answer is - your group already has private messages ->?/g/PVED Thanks Toby

I think I figured it out :) for us it was selection number three.

Re: Still trying to adapt to the new group settings.
Excellent, Shal. Hopefully I have corrected that. Does that mean that the 'invite.ics' won't appear either?

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.

Re: Still trying to adapt to the new group settings.
Thank you again.
I did this and set up the calendar for 1st of each month and every Sunday - different messages - but now both messages came straight after to the group so everyone will be really confused. I presume this is just to tell members about the forthcoming arrangements. I can explain that. For future reference, is there anything I should do to prevent this happening with future messages? Also can I get rid of that 'link' at the bottom of the message : A question mark on a piece of paper with a note - invite.ics? It is unnecessary that anyone would need to add this 'event' to a calendar.?

I presume I have to do that for every week and every month.
You would only need to set up one event for the weekly item, then have it repeat every week forever.? Another event for the monthly item, then repeat monthly forever.? If need be, you can make changes to an event and have the site make that change for all events.

Thanks to all for the responses, and also for giving the request a nudge on Beta.? I have passed the info along to the person requesting help, along with a workaround that I have suggested she experiment with.? Also suggested she join this list to get a better idea of the features and problem areas.

Re: Disable the Join button on the tom page
That is what we attempt to do, but it is not working well. ?It is more like a mud pie than a piece of cake!
It would eliminate the issue for both of us if it could be turned off.
Peace,

Re: How do I send a password reminder message to a member
I expected that would be the case.??
Unfortunately, this member struggles with understanding about settings, passwords etc.? On with plan B, sighs.
Thanks for responding.

Re: How do I send a password reminder message to a member
There is no option to send anything about the password to a member.? Once she uses the emailed login, she can click on her name at the upper right corner, then click Account.? On the page that opens, she should enter the password that she wants to use in the Password box, then click on Change Password beneath it.? After that, that password will work.

How do I send a password reminder message to a member
One member is unable to log in using what she believes is the password.
So she uses the email message to log in feature in order to log in every, but convinced that the password for the account is the one she tries (but fails) does not reset the password.
What would resolve this issue very easily would be to trigger a password reminder email to be sent to her.
How can this be done?

I haven't a clue why that hashtag is on my post!

My group is set for ¡°Messages are set to

configuration things and can¡¯t find it.

Re: Disable the Join button on the tom page
You can't disable it but you can set up a message to them to automatically tell them whatever you wish. We vector them to our website's "Join Form" that must be completed & T& C agreed to after which we will direct add them. Piece of cake. --

Disable the Join button on the tom page
We have a restricted group and everyone is added via a Direct Add. ?Even though the Home page tells people this and in big red letters says don't use the join button...guess what, they still do!
Is there a way to "disable" the join button so it does not even appear on the Home page?
Peace,
Tom

I never did the hashtag thing as my groups are simple and they wouldn't know
what was going on. LOL we don't know from hashtags.
?
It was easier to just explain to the taggers in the group not to accept an
offer with the word Private in the subject line and when the taggers?make their offer to the group they need
to ask for the complete email in the request which replying from the messages do not give you.
?
Then I sent a note to the members saying they need to request via the email they received.
If they request from the messages we will know and their tag will not be made and we also need to see the
entire email in their request.
?
That seems to be working right now.

In yahoo groups it can be done if that is what you are asking.
Go to Management
Control Panel
Access Control and there you can select who you want to be able to see the messages. Select Moderator's only and make sure you have the tick mark in the?selection Members cannot view/edit, only moderators can?view/edit.? ?

Subject: [GMF] Disable Archives
? A yahoo list owner has contacted me regarding moving her list to groups.io. The one question she had that I could not answer was whether it was possible to completely disable archiving. Obviously, if this is possible, all members would have to communicate by email since there would be no messages maintained on the site, but apparently that had been possible at one time on yahoo. I'm unable to find this as a feature on my own groups. Does anyone here know of a way to make this happen. Cacky
