Re: Database Rows

 

If you click on the IDHeader it arranges in numerical order. Is that what you want? The bottom line ID should be the row count.

The are a couple of ways.? On the database page, before you open one, it will have a column stating how many records there are in it.? If you already have it open, you can scroll to the bottom of the page and look at the lower right. where the "next page" button is.

Re: Move messages/threads between groups / subgroups?

 

Frances,

?
Any update on this?
?
Nope. If there were I would certainly have called it out in one of the #changlog messages.
?
?
Also, I see in other threads that a suggestion that a moderator can move a message to a subgroup while moderating a message?
?
Again no. That may have been made as a suggestion (hopefully in ), but again that would be big news in a #changelog message.

Re: Move messages/threads between groups / subgroups?

 

Hi

Any update on this?

Also, I see in other threads that a suggestion that a moderator can move a message to a subgroup while moderating a message? If a group is moderated (or non-members can post but are moderated), can the moderator move it?

Just wondering.

Re: Message History

 

Hi everyone!

I am coming back to this because I have just heard about a reason for removing old messages. If you have a change of the group makeup - new committee, for example - and you may think that the chitchat should be eliminated when the new group is selected or formed. I read that you can delete whole topics, but not blocks of messages in several topics. That might be useful in this case. Closing the account and starting afresh would work, but too drastic. Also some may need saving in a subgroup or in database or wiki.

I looked at Premium, but I don't think that this feature is available there either. That would be a possibility for some groups if it were.

Any more thoughts? Worth bumping to Beta that Mark monitors?

Re: Please share your database use-cases #database

 

Jenny, it was Charlie that was asking about the tie up. I did not try to link the member list with the database. I presumed there might be coding that could be done, but I am too ignorant of the language used by to know. Also dont know why fields cant be added to the members list so we dont have to duplicate it or if someone? has asked for that of the development?team.

Re: Out of Office Replies

 

Thank you Shal.

I couldn't figure out exactly why I got several Out-of-Office replies from that person. It was odd because I think that I'd only replied to one post that day (which was not his). I've never gotten any other OOO replies on GMF; this was a first. Thanx for the explanation.

Even though they were mildly annoying it was easy enough to just delete them.

Re: Subscription prefs not working right? #settings

 

Jenny,
?
A couple of sanity checks below:
?
the settings I currently have are:
individual, follow only, automatically follow replies, no attachments

on manage my groups the indicator shows; individual F R A
For councilconsulting I'm currently showing F A.

You've also replied in this Topic under the address jennycouncil - and that subscription is Individual Messages, All Messages.


I still get ALL group emails.
Are you perhaps receiving both addresses in the same interface and attributing to councilconsulting messages that were actually sent to jennycouncil? You can tell by looking in the footer at the very bottom of each message. Next to the unsubscribe link is the address to which this message was sent.
?
Or perhaps simply logged in under the wrong email address, thinking you were changing jennycouncil's settings when you weren't? You can tell which email address you are logged into by hovering or clicking on your name in the upper right corner. Except councilconsulting doesn't have a Display Name set, so your email address would be showing there without a hover or click.

After turning off daily digest to isolate the problem; follow only definitely still not working as expected;

the settings I currently have are:

I still get ALL group emails.

Re: Invitation Emails #addmembers

 

Cyndi,


Deferred - 550 5.1.0 <66.175.222.12> This IP has sent too many messages this hour. IB504 <>

What does this mean?

From the link in the message: "This IP address has reached the maximum allowed messages for that hour. Please try again later."

It means that invitee's email service has decided that Groups.io has sent it too many messages. The IP address in the message, 66.175.222.12, is Groups.io's outbound email server.

?
Am I limited to only two email addresses per invitation per hour? (That would be a drag on my time!)

No. This message is what the invitee's email service said when Groups.io attempted to deliver your invitation. It is a flaw at their service that they are not recognizing Groups.io as a mailing list service and allowing it to send more messages.

How do I not get it again?

Luck of the draw.

Or, convince that invitee to use an email service that is less hostile to Groups.io. Maybe the invitee can contact their technical support and request that they "whitelist" Groups.io. If not, chances are that invitee will have ongoing trouble receiving messages from your group using that service.

Re: Out of Office Replies

 

Gerald wrote:

Is anyone else getting emails from Tony via his Out of office
auto-responder, or am I the only lucky one?
As Bruce said, I think it is likely that anyone who posted in the last day or so did. The cause, apparently, a very badly designed "out of office" autoresponder.


I noticed this about a quarter past midnight last night (07:16 UTC), when I received 16 replies as I was heading to bed.

I should have posted to the group about it at that time, just as reassurance that the problem was known and (hopefully) taken care of. What I actually did was set the member to No Email, write a note to myself in his member notes tab, reply to him sternly (cc GMF's +owner) about his autoresponder, delete the 16 message from him I received, reject one that landed in Pending, and go to bed.

Is there something broken / changed in groups.io's email addressing
that would make it easy for someone setting up an auto responder to do
a reply to sender?
There is nothing changed. The thing that is broken is this member's email interface, or at least the autoresponder part of it. 1) Autoresponders should never respond to any message with a List-ID header field. 2) Autoresponders should never respond to the same email address more than once in a 24-hour period. There are probably other "best practice" rules for autoresponders.

As I say this, it would seem that reply to sender would likely be a
default choice no matter where the email came from / via. If so, why
aren't we seeing more of these?
Probably because the problems with "broken" autoresponders have been known about for decades, and most email systems that implement the feature have taken the necessary precautions to prevent this kind of error. Starting with (1) above.

I am also not yet 100% convinced that this is just a normal OOF
responder running amok as some of the email addressing in email source
look a bit unusual.
I wondered a bit about that too. The claimed mailer is Apple Mail, which ought to know better, but the headers show routing through a security service called messagelabs.com and the use of a tracking system called Brightmail. All of that, plus the content of the message, suggest that the member is using a business-oriented email address to subscribe to the group rather than a standard consumer email setup.

Whatever the case, his email interface/service should have known better.

I got them, too. Probably the only ones who didn't are those who haven't posted.

Is there something broken / changed in groups.io's email addressing that would make it easy for someone setting up an auto responder to do a reply to sender?
Not that I'm aware of. The autoresponder would simply have to ignore the reply-to field and instead send its response to the From: field. Some of the auto-responses I got were to messages I sent as early as Aug 28 but he didn't go out of town until today.

So something is seriously broken on his end, and his account has been placed on "no email" until he gets his act together.

Bruce
