Amanda -- You can resend the confirmation email to those in NC status by opening their subscriber record and clicking the "Send confirmation email" button at the bottom of the page. This is necessary to ensure that groups.io can reach them...they must click on the link in that email to begin to receive any groups.io messages. Of course, if the confirmation message lands in their spam/junk email folder -- or the subscriber we're talking about is uber-conservative about clicking on links in messages -- the whole thing becomes problematical.

Weird thing is the first four who joined had no trouble joining it's been the last three who tried. Two of which said it wouldn't let them join but they show up on the member list with NC beside them ...
Those two did join your group, but being Not Confirmed they don't receive group postings yet. They'll need to receive a confirmation email and reply to it to confirm that their email address is correct.
and the third doesn't show up at all.?
That one did not succeed in joining. If he/she is attempting to join by using the email +subscribe command, he/she must receive a confirmation request email and reply to it in order to complete their subscription.

I checked and there are no reminder messages in the group messages or my personal mailserver from our calendar reminders since March 28.? Prior to this the emails were generated as expected 5 days prior to the event.
Make sure the events have not been cancelled. I think this applies only to events with RSVPs, which are a Premium feature.
Have any of them been showing up in your group's Pending messages page? It is possible for event reminders to require moderator approval (irrespective of the group's Moderated checkbox).
I would go to your group's Hashtag's page and click on the Edit button for #cal-reminder. Make sure none of the hashtag options are set, or look into the function of any that are. I don't see any that would result in a message being missing from both the archive and one's email inbox, but maybe there's something I haven't noticed.
Do likewise for any hashtags that appear in the event's Event Name field.

Are the notices appearing in your group's Messages page consistently, or are the same ones missing from both the web and your email Inbox?
?
Any hashtags in the Event Name fields?
Shal, thanks for your reply.? I have all member birthdays & anniversaries on the calendar and set with a reminder to be sent to all 5 days before the event.? I checked and there are no reminder messages in the group messages or my personal mailserver from our groups.io calendar reminders since March 28.? Prior to this the emails were generated as expected 5 days prior to the event.
Any ideas?

Formatting of Message Footers
Would anyone happen to know if it is possible to format a default message footer? (using bold, italics and centering, rather than just plain text)?
Thanks so much for any guidance.

**Yehew__ Your_eMail/Settings/More Settings/ Mailbox/ Mailbox List -choose from options a) b) or c) (not naming here).
When you add that address Yahoo Mail will send a verification email to that address. Which may startle your other group owners/moderators - so you may want to warn them first! After you've verified it that address becomes available in the From field (which is now a drop-list) when you compose messages.
While this is pretty slick, I am concerned that messages sent that way may be more likely to be rejected or placed in spam folders because they are "spoofed" -- Yahoo Mail marks them as a "SoftFail for SPF. I'd never heard of SoftFail before, but I guess that's a way of saying that yes, we sent it, but the header From address isn't our domain (i.e. It's a spoof!).
On the other hand, both my ISP service and Gmail delivered a message sent from Yahoo Mail with [email protected] as the From address without complaint. Gmail notes that the SPF was SoftFail if you use Show Original, but it isn't adversely marked in the message list.

Re: Bouncing member not receiving probe
I've got a bouncer who swears he has no such SPAM messages,
That may mean that his email service rejected the bounce probe(s) as well. He may have to contact the technical support for his service and read them the response code (from the Reason column in the Recent Bounces section of the Email Delivery History tab on his Subscription page. Hopefully they can use that information to correct the problem.
It isn't supposed to happen, but it is also possible that his email service discarded the bounce probe message(s) after accepting them.
? but i wonder if he just deleted them by accident without thought to the different subject shown.
That's also possible.

Donald,
Thanks for the suggestions. However, as I said on the other message
(before this one) I forgot to add, I want this to schedule a poll,
so, it would need to be a groups.io feature itself, I think.
Anyway, I'll take a look at some Thunderbird (the email client I'm
using) add-ons for this scheduling purpose, even if it's just for
fun :)
Thanks again.

How to manage members - not Slack
Considering using Groups.io Enterprise version....
Is it feasible to synch group members with another application that is not Slack???
How about bulk update/importing names, how does the Direct Add feature work? Does that work as a diff function? (Add new names, delete names not on import)

Duane,
You could add an event to the calendar and
have it send a notice at the scheduled time, but it would be
visible on the calendar before then.
Following this option, I wouldn't be able to create a poll, for
example, isn't it?
Actually, I forgot this detail. I want to schedule a poll, not a
simple post :) my bad, I should've added it.
You could also add a hashtag that is
moderated so that the post would need to be approved (at the
appropriate time) before posting
Hmmm, interesting. In this case, I would have to aprove my own
message, when I want it to be sent? Also, looks like this option
will only work in a period within 14 days, because if I'm not
going wrong, this is the max time for holding a message needing
aproval.

If you find Gmail's delayed send feature a bit difficult to use, they mention a plug-in for Gmail to make it easier. Boomerang is available for several platforms, even iOS and Android. There is a free basic version limited to 10 scheduled emails per month, which might be plenty enough for you. Otherwise, you can use the delay in Outlook or Gmail which is built-in. There used to be a program called Boomerang for Yahoo Mail but it is no longer supported or available. These are just a few ways to get an email sent at a later scheduled time. As far as I can tell, Yahoo doesn't have the feature built into their mail, even though they claim that their mail is the best and most fantastic email there is on the planet.

Re: Lock or Moderate on Hashtag

As Donald stated, a poll would work, and has the advantage of recording the results in the group for posterity. But each subscriber has to log in to respond, which seems to be a significant hurdle for some folks to overcome. Many will reply to the poll notification by email anyway, subverting your efforts to eliminate the clutter.
If recording the results is not an important consideration, the "reply only to sender" option in a hashtag will achieve your stated objective.?You might even combine the two (i.e.: include such a hashtag in the poll subject).
?
Hope this helps,
Bruce
Thanks, Bruce. Yes, this crowd is primarily email only, so a poll is not going to work so well. The onus of recording is on whoever sent the original email, also. Editing the hashtag to reply-to-sender seems like the best plan, though I wish there was an automated way to detect this, so that if someone sends an email at one in the morning, someone doesn't have to be up to catch it before the responses happen.

Hi,
Is there a way of scheduling a post?
That is, I want to post something to my group, but I don't want to
post it immediately. Maybe later today or even any other day.
Just wondering if it's possible at all.
?
Thanks a lot, as always.
P.S.: Please, delete the other post with a similar message.
Somehow i managed to send it before finishing the email! :/
