Re: Understanding message in Email Delivery History
Yvette, Response In computer terms a queue does not imply a human-perceptible delay. More to the point, a code beginning with 2 means success, no further intervention is required. The statement "Queued mail for delivery" may be technically accurate, but completely meaningless to users: the mail probably passed through that queue and reached the member's Inbox in a fraction of a second.
No, the Email Delivery History is only about outbound messages, from the group to the members. Problems related to inbound messages will show up in the group's Activity Log. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |
Re: Understanding message in Email Delivery History
This means that outlook accepted the email from your group and has queued it for delivery to the person.? How long it's held is anyone's guess.? If the inbox were full, it would be a different code number instead of 2.6.0, probably 4.2.2 or 5.2.2.? I don't know that it's the best source, but there's a decent explanation at http://emailaddressmanager.com/tips/codes.html

Understanding message in Email Delivery History
Yvette Money
I apologize if this seems too basic to most, but I don't understand what the response line is actually telling me because I don't understand the codes listed.? I am just wondering about this message in a potential member's Email Delivery History.? We are awaiting a response from this person before we approve their membership application and the deadline for approval is looming.? This is what I see:

Re: email to text
Paul, we get a 505 error when trying to invite??970541xxxx@...? to support email to text.? Others?have had problems using email-to-text gateways with Groups.io. I don't know if they were able to resolve the problems. Apparently different carriers' gateways behave differently. See
also the search results in GMF for "gateway". Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

The links should be permanent for the same subject(s) that still needs addressing, only the explanation should be updated. Misnamed Wikis should contain a link (or links) to its/their replacement. Permanent links would be more helpful for users, plus Owners/Moderators and GMF might not have to deal with those receptive inquiries. Wikis are only required for what is not clear, nor intuitive. |
Re: So no PRIVATE MESSAGING, right? Any hope it will be implemented?
Janie, Disappointed upon searching that PM's don't exist in the IO Groups, right? So the members simply email each other? Members can initiate PM's to other members via the group's Directory - if the Directory is enabled in the group and if the member you wish to contact has opted to make his/her profile available to other members. This method sends an email to the other member, without you (the sender) needing to know the other member's address. But your address will be exposed to the other member (the email will be From your address) so that the other member can reply to you privately, by email. As Bruce mentioned, there is (as yet?) no Inbox or other means to receive such private messages within the Groups.io web interface. So you can only initiate the private conversation here, replies must go through email.

To say users can access the website without a password by using a "login link" is misleading as "login links" are merely temporary passwords. There is no difference in what access they enable, only the duration of access. "Login links" should always include the explanation that they are temporary (30 day) passwords, and the suggestion to create a permanent password along with the explanation of how little effort is required to "upgrade" a login link to a (permanent) password. My testing reveals that the cookie created by clicking a "login link" does indeed expire in 30 days, BUT it is renewed for 30 days upon each new visit so unless you fail to visit for 30 days, or manually log out, it's a permanent login.

Re: Is there anyway to change the display of postings to show the Posting number first in the threads?
Joe, I see what you're trying to do.? I do that a lot to capture and work with data.? But groups.io is not displaying a tabular view with columns so it's gonna be hard to capture what you want in a way that works (to load into a spreadsheet for example).
Best bet is to find an mbox to csv converter like this ->? (I googled 'read mbox excel' to find it, there may be others) Toby |

By the way, I mean the ability of one member to "private message" another member via the system.You can enter a private message to someone via groups.io, but they are received by email only...they are not made available online, or even retained in any way by the system that I know of. Perhaps that will be a feature of the groups.io app, but for now it does not exist. Sorry, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

You should be able to accomplish the same thing by using the Messages view, /g/GroupManagersForum/messages, since they get numbered as they come in.? You can reverse the sort order by using the Date at the upper right.

Is there anyway to change the display of postings to show the Posting number first in the threads?
On YahooGroups when I would go to look at the threads It could display them in the "Relaxed" "Slim" form with the message number first, then the message subject and then the user who submitted it and the date submitted. I would then manually copy this data and put it into a spreadsheet which allowed me to work with each posting using its posting number as the reference number. TIA! ? |
Re: So no PRIVATE MESSAGING, right? Any hope it will be implemented?
But the Chat function is not a private conversation between one member to another, correct? I'm referring to what Yahoo had and still has---the ability to send a message directly to another member, so that only you and the member you message are in the conversation, and you and the member are the only ones who can see the conversation between you two.?

Re: So no PRIVATE MESSAGING, right? Any hope it will be implemented?
Disappointed upon searching that PM's don't exist in the IO Groups,When replying from the web page, members compose their reply in the reply window and then need to click on the PRIVATE button in the lower right hand corner below the window to reply to just the sender. Dano |
