Re: Members post and Groups.io unsubscribes them!
A move to groups.io always seems to confuse a few people, no matter how hard you try to tell them that it's coming. This is especially to those subscribers on No Email or Special Notices, who generally have to be contacted individually to give them a heads-up.?
Imagine for a moment getting a notice out of the blue that welcomes you to a mysterious site called groups.io (what's this .io top-level domain, anyway?) and says you've been added to a group and tells you where to post messages. If you didn't expect it, you'd no doubt think it was spam. You might reply with a complaint about how you didn't want to be added to any group, then click on that unsub button in a huff. And so I have to wonder what the corresponding messages look like. Later (perhaps and hour and 50 minutes later?) it dawns on you that this was the same group you were already subscribed to at Y!G, and so you come back and ask to be reinstated... In any event, I see no clear indication from the log that the unsubs are directly related to posting activity, and suspect this will sort itself out in a day or two. I don't know how many subscribers are in this group, or how frequently they check group emails and actively participate...but if only a handful of them were blindsided, you should probably consider yourself fortunate. ?

Re: Wiki photos
Ken,
Is there a particular location/folder where photos on wiki pagesNot that I know of. I don't mind uploading a "/*new*/" photo but would like toI just delete the old photo from the page and paste in the new one. It never occurred to me that the old might still be hanging around somewhere. Other than using an exceptionally large photo so that I can see the effect in my usage stats I'm not sure how to test this. And even then you'd have to test carefully, as there might be an arbitrary delay between deleting the photo and garbage-collection and/or update of the usage stat.

Re: Members post and Groups.io unsubscribes them!
Brandy,
One member tried to send a message to the group from an email thatAfter a 12 minute delay. And after an hour 50 minutes in the case of M Thompson. I wonder if there's a bug in the log reporting, and these are actually cases of "removed for marking a message as spam". The time delay and the phrasing "resumed membership via web" makes me suspicious - I've only seen "resumed" used with the spam mechanism. Are these members by any chance using one of the known services that cause the "marking as spam" problem? /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Removed-for-spam#Service-Providers There is also an Unsubscribe link in the footer of each message. That would take them to the web page to unsubscribe (hence "left via web"), but I don't know how that would get activated without the member deliberately clicking it and then confirming at the web site. You'll see one in there sent a message and wasn't booted.I see that. If you can contact the affected members and confirm that they haven't interacted with the web site then I'd recommend reporting this to [email protected] along with the copy from the activity log.

Re: Members post and Groups.io unsubscribes them!
Brandy,
Is that in fact what's happening? I mean, is it happening to every member who posts? Or was "any" a typo for "many"? Presumably you haven't been unsubscribed from the group after posting. ?
There isn't a setting that would cause an automatic unsubscription (there is a mechanism that would, removed because of spam report, but it has a different log entry). As Bruce mentioned, left via web in the logs means that the member him/herself performed the Unsubscribe action, either at the bottom of the Subscription page or on their subscription list (Groups home page). Immediately after transferring some of my groups I experienced what Bruce mentioned: many members who had been "No Email" on the Yahoo Group unsubscribed themselves promptly after the transfer. But with one notable exception those people didn't bother to post or reply before unsubscribing, so I'm still a little puzzled by the apparent coincidences in your case.

I just successfully transferred over my groups but Groups.io is automatically unsubscribing any of the members who post, even when replying to messages. What's going on and how do I stop this? It's set so members can post and new members should be moderated. Under message settings, the only things selected are disable message editing, virus blocking, and separate footer settings. None of those should be causing the members to have "left via web."If "left via web" is what the the Activity Log says, then these people are unsubscribing from your group on their own initiative. Yahoo groups sometimes made it difficult to unsubscribe; others found it difficult to figure out how to do it. So folks would just set their delivery preference to "No Email" and forget about it. Such subscribers will be quite disconcerted when they suddenly find themselves re-added to a group that they tried to leave years ago.? You'll probably discover that other email addresses will start bouncing because people got new email addresses in the interim and Yahoo never bothered to flag their accounts accordingly.? It is not unusual to lose 10-20% of your members in this way.?If they aren't going to participate anyway, then you don't need them. If you believe something else is happening, please post the log entries here. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Email integration
We use an email integration to post formmail from our primary web site to our group, along with PayPal notifications. This is being done to capture new member information and dues payments for our club.
Such posts arrive with the #email hashtag. I want people to be able to reply to those emails, but I don't want the hashtag to appear in the replies, so that I can continue to use it to filter down to the original posts coming in via the integration.? Thoughts on the best (or any) way to achieve this objective would be appreciated. Thanks, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Beno?t,

I want to know if someone know if Mark Fletcher study the question. ^^ ?
I don't think there's any way of knowing unless he comments on it in beta.
If you don't want to receive all of beta's messages just to see if he comments on your post that would be a good use for the Advanced Preferences in your subscription to beta: Following Only + Auto Follow Replies. ?

Re: adding members
Sugar,
Direct Add is a Premium feature. If you have only occasional need to add members you can choose the Premium For One Month plan which will give you 30 days to add members, then reverts automatically to Basic. I do that yearly with my PTA group at school registration - when that group gets 90+% of its new members.

Re: Footer info at bottom of group messages
Forwarding would be a function of your email client.? Most will copy the entire message, so all you need to do is select and delete the stuff at the bottom.
