Is there anywhere I can "advertise" or "promote" our group to try and get new membersThere are probably web sites for that sort of thing.? You may also be able to post to local sites for crafters.? You can use the code under the Promote section of the group or just a link to the group home page.? I've found that word of mouth is the most reliable method.

Just to clarify, given a group X with at least one subgroup Y, are all of the old legacy email address still functional?I was not at all sure about the latter syntax, so I posted a test message to my subgroup using it, and was quite surprised to find that it worked.? Yes. This would also seem to be correct. I just attempted to create an "owner" and a "subscribe" subgroup to my test group, and both times I got a "That address is not valid" error.

Re: Calendar not consistently sending reminders
#cal-reminder
Gayle,
I'm not sure why you did, but it should be harmless. Note that the messages generated by calendar events all carry a default hashtag. Those are #cal-invite, #cal-notice, and #cal-reminder.
I'm not certain what you mean. Whatever purpose you use it for, every entry in the calendar goes by the generic term "event". I think that's just shorter than saying "calendar entry" to refer to them. Normally the hashtags (either automatic, or placed by you in the event's Event Name field) wouldn't have any effect on the delivery of any of the messages that the event might generate. So this whole side discussion about hashtags ought to be a red-herring in terms of why you're not getting the expected messages. But hashtags do have some powerful options, which is why I advised you to check on them.

You can also quickly remove it from the archives. If you click on the little triangle at the end, it gives you a list of options, one of which is "delete topic." ~Sandy |

Re: Forwarding messages to another group or to an individual who is not a member of the group

Is there an option to forward (in this case an interesting article posted to the group) To an individual who is not a member of the group, or to forward it to another group with similar interests?While any email received from your group can be forwarded, there is no provision within groups.io to do message-forwarding -- to non-members or otherwise -- via the web interface. You will have to use cut-and-paste to do something like that. A question:? Does the group we're talking about have a private message archive? Please consider the confidentiality aspects of forwarding someone's message to somewhere that they did not intend it to go. As for articles, I prefer to post a hyperlink to such things, so as to avoid copyright infringement. Regards, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Forwarding messages to another group or to an individual who is not a member of the group
A question from one of my group members:? Is there an option to forward (in this case an interesting article posted to the group) To an individual who is not a member of the group, or to forward it to another group with similar interests?
I could not find any references to forwarding... Anne |

So I just create a hashtag ¡°surprise¡± in the admin panel.?Yes, that would be Step 0. Make sure this new hashtag #surprise has either the "locked" or the "moderate" checkbox selected, so people cannot reply without your intervention. do I send the email that I have excluded the 2 members by using your method of turning them off to receive mail temporarily as normal to [email protected]? or do I send it to the hash tag?1) Turn off email delivery to the two people using the process I mentioned in my last message. 2) Send the party announcement to the group posting address, appending the #surprise hashtag to the subject line. 3) Return to Admin>Members and reset those two people's message delivery to whatever it was before. Obviously, this process is far from convenient. Groups.io is designed for information-sharing, not hiding. :-) Regards, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

I created an all-day event and added a reminder to be sent 3 hours before.? I also checked the option to send notice when the event happens.It would not hurt to report this behavior to support. Having said that, I believe it is a logic error to assume that an all-day event must start at midnight. Many of us have subscribers all over the globe, in various time zones, so I don't really know what that means. If your event must start at midnight local time, set it up as a midnight event and set the end time at 11:59. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

I need to send a message to our group, but I need two of our members to not receive the email as it is about a surprise anniversary recognition for them.? Is this possible?Yes, but it's a bit of trouble.? Open each subscriber's member record (Admin>Members) and note their Email Delivery preference. Temporarily set it to No Email. Send the message, then set them both back. Note the following: -- Any other messages sent to the group in the interim will also fail to be sent to these folks. I wouldn't delay very long in changing their settings back. -- Your post will still appear in the message archive. If either of them reads messages online, then your efforts will be in vain. -- Any reply to the group could also tip them off. I suggest you tag your post announcing the surprise party with a hashtag that has the locked or moderated checkbox set. Even then, any well-meaning group member who happens to change the subject line could inadvertently let the cat out of the bag. ? Good luck, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |
