I should add that as far as registrations are concerned, it impacts those trying to subscribe by sending a request to groupname+subscribe@...?? An activity log entry is generated stating that:

Non-member <NonMemberEmailAddress> attempted to subscribe with a banned domain via email

Despite an entry in the Banned Domains list, members can join via a Direct Add or replying to an Invite.

Regards
Andy

Personally, I'd be far more inclined to support the removal of the Like function than the creation of a Vote Down function.

Both just scream "social media" to me, and there's very little about Groups.io that is, in any meaningful sense, social media-esque.

I'm in the midst of trying to get a group I moderate "back on focus" in the main group, and to direct folks who are posting off-topic material on that main group to use a chat subgroup instead.

I know that at the moment there is no mechanism on Groups.io that would allow a topic to be moved from main group to subgroup or vice versa, and if one were to be created it would have to automatically subscribe a user to the subgroup were a message going main to sub and they weren't already a subscriber to the subgroup.

Someone on the group just said this, and as an old Usenet user it does make me think that such a mechanism might exist, but that I don't know about it:
"In the old usenet group scene we had a followups-to heading that could be generated and seen so people knew the topic had drifted from suitable for one group to more in keeping with another. Does the groups.io system have something similar?"

It would be so much more handy to be able to force followups to a subgroup as opposed to locking a topic and PMing the original poster asking them to start the topic again in the subgroup.

I love the concept of subgroups, but the way that Groups.io implements them makes them largely invisible to main group users and there is no easy mechanism that I know of to redirect topics between group and subgroups in a given group structure.

Hi Duane,

thanks for the pointer. After some additional testing I can confirm that it works for messages received from non-members on the main and subgroups. I initially tested it on a subgroup sending a message from an account in the main group and that had no effect. Messages received from non-members generate an entry on the activity log stating that:

Non-member <NonMemberEmailAddress> attempted to send message from a banned domain via email

Note that entries in the Banned Domain list must not include the @ symbol, just everything after it.

I'll see if I can find a suitable place for a note in the GMF Wiki about this.

Regards,
Andy

Received 11 reports last night.

I attached one.? I am not a expert at these.? ?normally I ignore the 1 or 2 I receive.? But to get 11 in one night.

Is there any hope for the ability to migrate Yahoo Post Attachments in the near future?

I would really like to know why it isn't available because it seems like this would be very necessary.?

This is the one thing preventing our group from moving to what is otherwise a very acceptable platform.

I don't have a paid group, but the information I found is "NEW: Premium/Enterprise groups now have a new Banned Domains tab. Emails from non-subscribers are rejected from banned domains, as well as registrations." ? Looks to me like it only applies to non-members.? My interpretation is that existing members should be okay, but no new members could apply/post from that domain.

Hi,

Can someone explain the purpose of the banned domains list under Admin > Domains?? I've added @gmail.com and just gmail.com to the list for one of my test subgroups and I can still post to it from a gmail account.

I suspect a bug!

Thanks
Andy

It is a difficult topic to search for ("like" is too common a word), but I think I recall it being discussed in the beta group, way back in early days. You may find it in or near this topic:

Thanks, Shal. That pretty much explains the thinking.??

I created a gmail acct and set up a forward on it to send all emails to the sub group.? Gmail sent a code to the subgroup but the message was rejected.

If I understand your intentions, you would probably have more luck with an email integration in that subgroup. Go to Admin>Integrations and click on Email Integrations. On the resulting page, provide a name for the integration and click the Add button. Groups.io will return a [lengthy] post-only email address for the subgroup; any messages sent to that address will post, regardless of origin.

Hope this helps,
Bruce?

I think that's a question for Groups.io's owners at [email protected]

I agree, but I will chime in with the knowledge that in empirical studies of forums, Facebook and other places where negative voting is allowed, it tends to encourage gang-up behaviors and trolling.

Best,

Glenn

GDSP,

First, we didn't seem to be able to invite people to our group, and
now it tells us our group hasn't been approved yet.

Those are tied together, you can't issue invitations until the group has been approved.

How long will this take? We thought we had done everything to create
the group last week...

Normally group approvals take only a few hours. But that may not include weekends or holidays.

No one from management monitors this group.? You'd need to report this to [email protected] before they'd see it.

Many thanks to Bruce, Andy & Bob for your helpful replies. I understand that the premium upgrade isn't intended as a cloud storage solution. Nevertheless, the objective for me was to enable everyone in my group to access files in a shared space, which doesn't seem unreasonable, and seems consistent with the "groups" ethos.?

I infer from Andy's post that I would be timed out even if I compressed my video file to a different format, since it's unlikely I'd get it down to under 400MB. I take it no one is aware of a work-around to avoid the (quite short) time-out period?

I'll wait another day or two in the hope someone from support will contribute to this thread. If not, I'll cancel the premium upgrade.
