Is there a way to create a desktop shortcut for Groups.io?Do you use an e-mail program (e.g. Thunderbird, Outlook), an e-mail web site (e.g. Gmail) or the Groups.io web site itself to read your groups? If you're using the Groups.io web site itself, which browser do you use? Oh, and which operating system (and which version) do you have? Is there a standard graphic I should use?There doesn't seem to be a Groups.io icon pack available yet. I needed one a while back, but could not find any. Samuel |

Re: Problems editing Wiki or Messages on Mobil Devices
Ken,
Plent wide before replying, no joy on the toolbar.Do any of the browsers on that device have a zoom control that will let you "back out" (make the text smaller). When I've tried that on the desktop I've found that is is another way to get all of the buttons to appear. But remember you must do it before clicking New Topic or Reply - the content of the button bar seems to be fixed for the effective screen size at that moment.

Re: Using website, vewing UNread messages within an ALREADY read topic?
Jay, My question/point is can that link be generated slightly differently once you visit it and then a new message gets added to the thread. That way it would at least turn blue again next time you visit the topic list to show a new message is in the topic someplace. That seems like it could work. Perhaps as simply as adding the message count as a no-op parameter to the thread link. I don't know how many users might find that disconcerting though, as they may be accustomed to seeing the mark as "I've looked at this thread" without being interested in whether there's new messages in it. The other factor is that I think a page refresh will be required to see the effect of a message being added to the topic by someone else. I don't think Groups.io's pages are dynamic in that way. Could do that even without a specific app. Could do any of this without a app, I think. I'm not sure why the inbox and the app are tied together in Mark's mind. Perhaps that has to do with infrastructure issues that I know nothing about. To bring the idea to Groups.io's attention you are invited to post it in the group. That's the site's official suggestion box - no one from Groups.io monitors GMF. Maybe wait and see if any other GMF members have a thought on the topic first.

Re: Using website, vewing UNread messages within an ALREADY read topic?
Thanks for the info. At least I don¡¯t have to keep trying to figure it out.
I wasn¡¯t quite clear on my topic coloring blue vs. black point. I understand General web browser behavior. My question/point is can that link be generated slightly differently once you visit it and then a new message gets added to the thread. That way it would at least turn blue again next time you visit the topic list to show a new message is in the topic someplace. Could do that even without a specific groups.io app. I¡¯m in a Groups.io vs. Slack discussion and email overwhelm (when getting emails for each message) vs. knowing what is new and I need to read (when not getting emails per post) is a key stay with groups.io vs. try Slack point. |

Re: Using website, vewing UNread messages within an ALREADY read topic?
Jay, How does a user on the website view (or differentiate) UNread messages within an ALREADY read topic? That's a feature that doesn't actually exist yet. But it is being worked on: "As an aside, this is a big reason I want to complete the app and add unread message tracking (ie Groups.io Inbox)." [] Foo topic name is blue since I have never read it. That effect is happening within your web browser. Your browser is keeping track of your recent history and "knows" which pages you've visited. The only involvement by Groups.io is that its style sheet told the browser what colors to use for visited versus unvisited links. You'll probably notice that effect on other sites as well.

Using website, vewing UNread messages within an ALREADY read topic?
Trying to track this down for my users. Most users do all reading on the Groups.io website only with no email.
How does a user on the website view (or differentiate) UNread messages within an ALREADY read topic? That is, I go to the website and see a topic Foo with a icon next to it with a 5 in it indicating helpfully that there are 5 messages within Foo. Foo topic name is blue since I have never read it. I click Foo and read all 5 messages and return to the topic list where Foo is now black as expected. Time passes. 3 more messages are emailed or added on the web by others to the Foo topic. How do I know they are there? If I refresh the page is my Foo link now blue? If my link is blue and I click it, how do I know which messages have not been read? (And if this is a topic with 500 messages and 30 scattered new ones even more so how do I know unread ones?) Thanks! |

Re: reached limit of new members
Hi Liz,
?
I received a message that i had reached the limit of adding members without approval, and then something about members would be approved.? ?
As an anti-spam measure, your invitation list will be reviewed and (presumably) approved by Groups.io. It may take a few hours for that to happen, maybe days but not usually that long.
?
?
And now there is no trace of these member invitations in the "pending" list, which i expected. ?
Invitees need no further approval (from you) so they don't go to the group's Pending list. I don't recall precisely, but I believe they should still be showing on your Invite page.
?
?
Will I need to resend these invites? ?
Nope, just hang tight.
?
?
what is the limit for whatever it was that I reached? ?
Twenty in a 24-hour period.
?
?
What are the next steps? ?
Once your invitation list is approved by Groups.io the next step will be up to each invitee. As each one receives and accepts their invitation he/she is added to your group's Members list. The Invite page should also show you each one's status.

Re: Emails from New Members
Rene,
On his next attempt have him CC the message to your personal email address. Then, assuming you receive that, you can examine the To: field to verify that he sent the message to the group's posting address. Oftentimes it is as simple as a typo. Assuming the To address of his message was correct, tell us what you find in the group's Activity log. There should be an entry corresponding to that attempt.

Re: Getting a copy of your shares
Ellen, the member can check her subscription by going to group homepage and clicking on Subscription - lefthand menu. Perhaps she is Special Notices only or if you have allowed it in the group settings, No Mail.
I am assuming you mean that the member isn't receiving email from those two groups.? You can also check Activity in Admin.
