If using the online message editor, click on the "Add Pictures" icon instead of the "Add Attachments" icon. If sending by email, you will need to do something similar in order to get the image into DATA or CID format. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/24519556#11066?for more info.

If it still doesn't work, or the "Add Pictures" link is not available, you probably aren't using an html message format. Go to Admin>Settings>Message Formatting and select "Force HTML Emails" (and deselect "Plain Text Only"). Now go to?/account?page=prefs?and select "HTML" for your Editor Preference. Be sure to save these changes.

To my knowledge, the only way to "embed" a non-photo attachment is to upload the attachment to some public cloud storage and insert a hyperlink to it in the message.

Hope this helps,

I own & moderate both BCOABoard & BCOAMembersOnly.
Recently, BCOA has assigned new emails to all board members, including me.
I thought that I could invite my new address and then make it a moderator. But now I can't access the group administrator settings to do so.
I certainly don't want to lose 7 years of files.
Help!

Yes.

It would seem that my best strategy is to get these people signed up with as few emails from Groups.io needed as possible, since they can't seem to find ANY of them. That's why I initially chose to invite, to cut down on the interaction required. I just want to be sure that, for these NCs, this will be sufficient.

It should work, if they can receive groups.io emails at all. Mindspring and Earthlink have been blocking groups.io recently, so that may be a factor (Ref:?).

Create a hashtag with a "Reply To" setting of "Reply only to sender." Tag any topic you initiate with that hashtag and replies will come to you instead of the group.

You may still receive some long emails but at least they won't be annoying everybody else.

There is a group setting that can make this visible to all members, but its not enabled in most groups.? I do have it enabled in a group for a club I belong to, so we don't really need to use the Directory there, but it's enabled, too.

It’s hard to figure this out when Groups of which one is only a member do not expose their settings that determine what you see and when one is the Owner/Moderator, you get a different display from that for regular subscribers which makes it hard to tweak the settings and then see if the result is what you’re wanting for your Group members.

Ken,

You've put a lot of research?and thought into your questions. What you need to do is subscribe to your group with another email address and set that subscription as a regular user. That way, you will be able to see what is going on from both sides.

If you aren't a group owner/moderator and want to know more, also use this second email address to make your own personal group for testing.

FYI:
Members List - Usually only for Owner?/ Moderators - but can be set to be available to all
Directory List - Only for those with privacy settings set to make their profile viewable

Thanks, now fixed by support.

I’m still puzzled about settings that control the visibility (or otherwise) of the Directory and Members List.

That should do the trick, for any of them that receive and respond to the confirmation email sent by Groups.io

That's what I figured, but these members are receiving neither the invitation in the first place, nor the confirmation emails.

I have removed the members from my group and sent fresh invitations, but do I have to worry that, from a Groups.io-wide perspective that their accounts are considered to be NC? I wouldn't assume that removing them from my particular group suddenly removes any larger groups.io properties, so I don't know if now their email addresses are "known" and perpetually flagged in the larger system. Now that I've removed them, I can no longer try to resend confirmation emails again. (Which by their accounts they weren't getting anyway.)

Just to confirm my understanding of the process: ?If (and this appears to be a big if at this point) they are able to accept my latest invitation, will that automatically confirm their groups.io account? It would seem that my best strategy is to get these people signed up with as few emails from Groups.io needed as possible, since they can't seem to find ANY of them. That's why I initially chose to invite, to cut down on the interaction required. I just want to be sure that, for these NCs, this will be sufficient.

Thanks for your help,
Sarah.

Chris, we have and this is our Pending Message - transferred from Y!:


I also agree with your comment re the Send Confirmation Email Tab.

What about a database where they can enter the information you are looking for. You can either have a column?so they can add their name or you can just have columns where they list who they have in mind along with any other information that you would need. Leeni? ? ? ? ?

While you could use a poll, you would have to have a list of alternatives in mind to do that, which kind of defeats the purpose of soliciting input.

Certainly you could simply ask your membership to submit names, either names alone or with a brief (one or two sentence justification) for each to the group owner address.? If you're worried they might respond on-list, and that's really not wanted, then as part of the announcement to the group state only to the group owner address and then promptly lock the topic asking for the names.? They know exactly what you want and in exactly what format.? Definitely include the actual group owner address in the message so that they can easily respond to it.

If you're not seeing the +Create a group immediately beneath the sort order control links at the upper left after hitting the Find or Create a Group button, then something's off.

I would suspect possible browser cache corruption, which is generally cured by clearing browser cache then restarting your browser, or an add-on/extension is somehow blocking an element necessary to present it.? I use uBlock Origin, uBlock Origin Extra, and HTTPS Everywhere under Chrome and the button still appears.

Thanks!? I don't mind doing that for photos that I post in our artist group, but I am trying to encourage members to post photos themselves.? Understandably, they want to simply upload from their phones and I?know that most will simply not post if they have to fuss with the images first.? Just thought I'd check to be sure I wasn't missing an obvious setting.??
