Re: Invite not working

 

And, of course, many thanks for any guidance!

One other, probably related, issue with my test group. ?I also had the same aspiring subscriber (the same one for whom the invite failed due to messaging limit) send a request to subscribe using the format <[email protected]>. ?But, after 30 minutes or so, I (as the group owner) didn't receive that request either. ?

Maybe this is all related to a setting I've neglected with setup?

Thanks again!


Invite not working

 

Hello,

I'm new to groups.io, have some experience running a group on yahoo and am reasonably tech savvy (though certainly not expert!).

Anyway, problem as follows.

- created a test group to test all the functionality with a small group of subscribers and before upgrading (which we'll do shortly so we can direct add new subscribers)
- sent an invite to a correct email address while I had that recipient on the phone so we waiting 15-20 minutes and she never got the invite
- confirmed the address to which the invite was sent was correct
- confirmed that recipient address was functional by sending a normal email to it (which worked quickly and normally so was received)
- did get an error message in my "sent invitations" about exceeding my "messaging limit" but that seems off since it was my first invite and I'd only made 2-3 test posts in the group at that point, as its only subscriber and owner

Not "officially" there isn't, but if you go to your members list and enter the domain in the Search box and click on Search then all the members using that will be listed. For the group I moderate that method has just revealed that we have 742 members with Yahoo email addresses of one sort or another. Several are listed as Bouncing. :)

sorting member emails by domain

Holly
 

I was wondering whether there's a way to sort member emails by their domains. I have some bouncing Yahoo members and still some Charter members. I would like to sort by domains in order to see if any other members have those domains but are not bouncing.

TIA,

Holly


Re: not receiving emails

 

Mona,


I'm still not receiving emails I send.

Please help us help you. Please follow Bruce's suggestions and tell us what you see.

?
Is there a help desk I can contact or is this just the moderators group mailing list?

See /static/help#questions. Questions like yours are best addressed through this group (GMF). There is a support address for bug reports listed and an official suggestion box, but I don't think your situation fits either of those.

-"I always want copies of my own emails" checkbox is ticked.
-When I send an email to the groupname@groups.io it does not show in the messages list on the website either.

As Bruce said, that is something entirely different than simply not receiving your own messages.

It could be that:
  • you are posting To the wrong address,
  • you are posting From the wrong address,?
  • your post was rejected for other reasons (see the group's Activity log),
  • your posts are being held in the group's Pending list,

Re: creating a desktop shortcut for groups.io

Bill and Marie Johnson
 

Yes there is Chris. Hope I spelled your name right. I dont know what browser you use. The general idea is this: go to eo or wherever you are going. Now find Send To, possibly on your File Menu. Press enter there and there are choices such as,
email Page by email or, finally the one you want, Shortcut on Desktop. Choose that/ computer may say something about do you want a shortcut for etc, simply click OKAY Done. Now you can find it and create a hotkey if you like. Smiling. HTH. Use this frequently. Bill

Yes of course; the ability to do that is a function of your browser, not of Groups.io. See your browser's instructions for how to do it. The graphic will be set automatically.

Re: Emails from New Members

 

Rene,

?

Thank you.? One of our members was unable to deliver her message and this was what she received.

?

?

It would be helpful to know what the text of that error was. That information should have been in the message she received, the How to Fix It box appears to give instructions to read the reported error.
?
I think the most likely errors would be something to the effect of "no such group" meaning that she had typo'd the group posting address, or "not a member" meaning that she attempted to post from an address other than the one listed in your group's Members list.
?
In the case of "not a member" you should also be able to find a corresponding item in your group's Activity log.

I changed all of the members and owner¡¯s settings to match this message below and I am still unable to receive emails from one of the owners.? He keeps trying to reply and nothing is coming through.

?

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.

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.

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.

That menu item does not show up until the first subgroup is created. The group Owner has to create the first one, no matter what you have in your settings.

How can my subscribers create subgroups if they don¡¯t have an admin tab where subgroups are located? I see in settings that I have granted access to subscribers to create subgroups.

Did you find the answer? The regular (non-admin) Subgroup page shows a button for the member to create a subgroup.

Re: Getting a copy of your shares

Ellen McDonald
 

In the members settings, preferences, at the bottom of the page is a box to check if you want to receive a copy of your own shares. She has this box checked in all 4 groups, but only gets her own shares from 2 of these groups. No, she is not on Special Notice or anything but & gets all the groups mail, she does not get a copy of her own in 2 of those groups.
Thank You

I¡¯m in a Groups.io vs. Slack discussion and email overwhelm (when getting emails for each message)
This might be overwhelming if you did this for many groups, but what I
do is create message filters (rules) and a separate folder (like
another inbox) to sort the messages form a group or related groups.
For example, I have several ham radio groups filtered into a folder
called ham radio. I have a couple of automobile repair groups go into
a folder called automobile.

In my email reader, and most I've seen, like Thunderbird (free),
Postbox (based on Thunderbird but not free), and MS Outlook, new
messages in those special folders show a number next to them if there
are new messages, indicating how many new messages are there and
unread.

Whether you want to do this is up to you, but there is information on
the web on how to do this, and I think we could possibly help a little
here if you need some help doing this.

That way, you get your separate messages and not in what I feel is an
inconvenient digest format, and also keep them out of your inbox.
You're free to ignore your group messages and focus on your inbox, and
if you set filters up for multiple categories, you can, say, filter
advertisements form companies you deal with into a folder called
advertisements if you wish. I do this in Postbox for my Gmail. For
email from my ISP email address, I use Forte Agent for my email reader
but do much the same thing for the ham radio, automotive, and some
other groups. In this email program I have many folders, 13 of which
are for various Yahoo and groups.io group messages. It keeps the
messages out of my inbox. If I need to catch up on email and don't
care about reading messages in a couple large groups, I can right
click on the folders and choose mark folder read and skip reading
those. The support groups like this one are candidates for that, and I
sometimes go back at a later time and scroll down to see the various
older topics but I don't feel an obligation to do so. If I See
something interesting, I can go back and read the message(s).

Making separate group folders in your email client or program is a way
of achieving what it seems you're looking to do without having to wait
for a groups.io change to do it. You can have that almost immediately.

Re: reached limit of new members

 

Press the Invite button and then? the Sent Invitations button.? This will give you a list of those individuals that were sent messages. There is a column for date invite was sent and each individuals status (Accepted/Sent).

Hi Liz,

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: 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.

Shal

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.
