Re: Group settings
#settings
musiclady,
I think there are two possibilities. One is that she wants the group's Reply To changed to Sender - that is found in the Message Policies section of your group's Settings page, and would affect everyone's conversations. Every reply would go to the sender, and not to the group. That would not be appropriate for a discussion style group, but might be appropriate to other types. The other possibility is that what she's looking for is in her Subscription page, under Advanced Preferences. There she can choose to receive Following Only, First Message Also, and Auto Follow Replies. Choosing those settings would mean that she would receive the first message in each new topic but not any of the replies, unless she started the topic or replied to it. Or elected to follow the topic by way of a link in the message footer. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

I am assuming from this new inquiry that you're now logged into the group with the proper email address (i.e.: the Owner badge is now showing up) and have restored your own access to administrative functions. Your subscriber can easily turn off group email delivery without any help from you. One way is to send an empty email to [email protected]?where GROUPNAME is the name of your group. See the system help at?/static/help#emailcommands?for other email commands. If she is logged in, she can also click on Subscription on the left-side menu bar, and change her Email Delivery setting on the resulting page.? Failing that, you can turn off email delivery for her. Go to Admin>Members and click anywhere on her member record to open it. Scroll down to Email Delivery, check the corresponding radio button, then click the blue Save button at the bottom of the page. After doing so, she will no longer receive group emails, but can still read group messages at her leisure by logging in and reading the message archive online. I do not recommend changing the mail delivery requirements for the entire group based on a request from a single subscriber.? Hope this helps, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: Bouncing emails.
Barry,
I think any link to Groups.io will do. IIRC a member with Bouncing or Bounced status will see a red banner at the top of each Groups.io page, with instructions for sending themselves a bounce probe. Unbouncing an account necessarily starts with receipt of a bounce probe - that demonstrates that the person is now able to receive at least that message from Groups.io.

Re: Hi Friends [need help recovering membership]
Hi Luis, Appreciate your assistance to recover my membership privileges.? In Groups.io your email address is also your log in ID - so perhaps your membership in whatever group is connected with a different email address than the one you logged in with. If you receive messages from that group by email, have a look at the very bottom of a recent message. There, in the footer, it will show your subscription address in that group. You need to log in using that address in order to be recognized as a member of that group. Hope that helps. If not, please give us some more detail about your situation. But don't include any private info, GMF's archives are open to the public. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: Yahoo groups export once again offline
Bob,
Not necessarily Yahoo Groups. The last outage had to do with the Sign In system, which is shared in common with Yahoo Mail and other still-supported products. Mark wasn't as specific about this one, so it may or may not be something that pertains only to Yahoo Groups.
One never knows. There's been some recent buzz in recently about news stories relating to Verizon Media properties (formerly Oath, formerly Yahoo and AOL). I'm not holding my breath for further developments, good or bad. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: Problems with Comcast Account/Replies
This is a user-to-user group, so none of us have any inside information on delivery problems, nor any way to see what's actually happening.? Comcast has been known to make changes that effect delivery, along with sometimes long delays in actually delivering email.? I checked a few of my Comcast members and they all seem to be getting messages fine (not bouncing anyway).

Yahoo groups export once again offline
This is beginning to resemble an actual effort on the part of Yahoo to keep groups from migrating.
