Guys,
I'm really sorry for all the questions on a same day. I promise this is probably the last one for today :)
Still talking about goodbye messages and the like, can I quote the person's name on my goodbye message using a variable or something like that?
Like, if a person has their name showed as John Doe, a variabel, for instance $name, would take care of replace itself with the person's name on the email sent.
Putting it better, if I write
We're so sad to see you go, $name ($name being just an example), then it would be converted to the person's name on the email they would read.
So, is it possible at all?

Thanks for your help, it's really much appreciated.

Duane,
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Actually I thought of it, but I didn't know if I was right on this so thought I'd better asking.
Thanks again :)

Hello Bruce, Thanks for your help. I found the list of messages with attachments...I can click the link with the name to view the message...there?are no boxes to check to delete attachments until I click on?"more" to edit the message... ? Question...if I just delete the message, does it delete the attachments too?? ? That would be so much easier than putting checkmarks to delete 22 attachments. Joyce? ? ? ? ?

You can set up a Goodbye Notice that is sent whenever anyone leaves the group, Admin > Settings, Member Notices, New Notice.? You could ask them to explain why they left, if they would like.

Hi,
Is there a way to request feedback from a member who've leaved our group?
Like, if a member leaves, is there a way of sending an email to them asking why they did it, if there is a reason they'd like to expose?

The "View Attachments" link is under Admin>Upgrade...not particularly obvious.

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Deleting%20attachments,%20files%20and%20photos?for details.

How much storage space do we have...I think we are over the amount.?

It's in the same place. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Managing-Attachments%2C-Files-and-Photos?for more info.

Is there a way to allow members to post attachments but not get stored in the group?

?In Admin>Settings>Message Policies, you can set messages with Attachments to be Allowed, Bounced, Stripped or Moderated. This setting will apply to both the online message archive and outgoing emails.

There is currently no way to have groups.io send attachments to group members via outgoing emails without storing them. That might be a . Meanwhile, you could try uploading such files to cloud storage (Google Drive or something like that) and sending a hyperlink instead.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Bruce,

Thank you!? Adding Bootstrap classes to my table did the trick.? To be clear, groups.io uses version 3 of Bootstrap, not the current version 4.

Dennis

Is it possible to tag a group member on a New Topic or a response to a topic?

开云体育

They can always go to the message section of?your group to see how many messages were sent on that day. That is where the digests bring you anyway. They can read the messages from the group's message area directly if they are worried they are missing a digest or not getting all of the messages. Leeni? ? ? ? ?

Unfortunately, the groups.io editors strip many inline styles upon save, no matter how benign. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/31023224?for a recent thread on this topic.

Rumor has it that groups.io uses the bootstrap system of CSS. So if you sort through that (see bootstrap.css in the GMF files area?and ) you should be able to apply an existing class to a tag in your wiki and have it "stick."?It seems unlikely that the same thing would work in a message, as bootstrap styles will not be available to outgoing emails.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I want to use an HTML table in a wiki page.? So I used the source code editing feature of the page editor to add the table.? That worked fine.? To make the table look better, I added a style attribute to the table element.? When I clicked OK in the source code editor dialog, the styling appeared in the page being edited.? But when I clicked the Save Page button, and the page returned to normal view, the style attribute was stripped out.? So my styling was lost.

How can I style a table in a message or wiki page?

Thanks,
Dennis

Yet while I was checking on this I was not able to find the time period between delivery of Digests, it does say up to 12 messages per Digest, I've received digest with less than 12.

On a slow day, is there a time when a short digest is generated or is it random?

It is certainly?not random. From the system Help:

"Full Featured Digest?will group the day's messages into batches of 12 and send each batch when the twelvth is posted. Any that remain at the end of the day will be sent as the final (or only) digest of the day."
?
Of course, if no messages are posted, nothing is sent.?

As for exactly when a "day" rolls over (i.e.: midnight in which time zone), I can't tell you that for sure. I tend to get my digests around 2 AM EDT. Your mileage may vary, void where prohibited, objects in mirror may be closer than they appear.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Hi All,
My group is going through a short quiet spell and one of the members who is on Digest was worried that he was having a delivery problem. I posted that there were no messages for 3 days. Yet while I was checking on this I was not able to find the time period between delivery of Digests, it does say up to 12 messages per Digest, I've received digest with less than 12.

On a slow day, is there a time when a short digest is generated or is it random?

Thanks,
Paul, Ohio, USA

Kent -- There are often several ways to join a group, e.g.:

-- Send a "subscribe" email to the group address, or
-- Click on the "join this group" button in the group home page, or
-- Have someone Direct Add you to a Premium group,
etc.

Open the subscriber's member record (Admin>Members) and click on the "Activity History" button at the top of the resulting page. The oldest entry (you may have to click on the "Created" link at top right to invert the sort order) will tell you exactly how this person managed to subscribe.

If he joined without responding to your Invite, his invitation will remain in "Sent" status indefinitely.

How to fix?

If it bothers you, the easiest way to fix it is to return to Sent Invitations, click on the adjacent checkbox and select "Cancel/Remove Invite" from the Actions pull-down menu at the bottom of the page.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Hi?

I have sent invitations for my group to about 14 people. One of the members has accepted but he still shows as sent in the sent invitations window. How to fix?

Just FWIW . . .

Another option is for a member who is a 'disturber' to have his posting privileges set to 'Moderated' status or to 'No Post' status as a means to control any undesirable disturbance posts s/he might make. It also sends a reasonably clear message to that member.
