Hi

I got them too for threads I had participated in. He is away until Sept 18. I emailed the group owner address asking that he be put on Special Notice.

Is anyone else getting emails from Tony via his Out of office auto-responder, or am I the only lucky one?

Overnight, I received a batch of replies to several posts I recently made on this group.

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? 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?

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.

Lloyd Lehrer,

can you tie the Database roster of members to the groups.io list of members to ensure everyone is in the database, and that there are no non-members in the database?

Same here. 2 groups with a few integrations in each. I first noticed the problem, and posted a thread earlier this week, about not being able to ADD new groups. But the integrations I have were working. Now that I check, yes, not even the current ones are sending new posts, so there is certainly a change that has affected the service, and not in a good way.

I run two craft exchanging groups for ATCs and Cards – the swap lists for sign ups and partners are listed in the Database – I would be lost without the Database!!!

Best wishes

Linda,

When a member is banned from a group, is that ban connected to their
email address ...?

Yes.

If it's the email address, can't they just create a new email address
and join again?

Yes they can.

If, as Frances suggested, you run your group with Restricted membership you might be able to recognize them when they try again, but maybe not.

The extra information available in the pending subscription notice may help with this, but even that isn't sure-fire if the person takes steps to conceal themselves. In particular no such information is available if they join by email (using the +subscribe email address on the group's home page).


The feature Marcio couldn't remember is the ability to ban domains. That's not likely to be useful against an individual troublemaker as they can get around it by choosing a popular service (Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL, etc.) to join your group, some domain you wouldn't be willing to ban.

Linda,

Thanks Shal, after posting I changed from daily summary to individual mails, but only those I follow, just to See if That eliminated the threads I don't follow.

So far I think that is behaving as expected. Later I'll turn summary back on and see if it gets confused again.

Linda,?

I will leave your query to another person,
However if you have a restricted group, you can screen potential members so that you must approve each one. That may weed out bad guys!

Michael,

The content is the same, but the hashtags are different - so that make
these messages 'not really the same'?

Even though generated from the same event, what makes them not the same is that they were sent by different mechanisms (notice versus reminder). They didn't thread into the same Topic because neither is a reply to the other.

are these settings not playing well together?

Ideally I would get a daily summary of ?emails in the threads I follow. ?Second best would be a daily summary of all. ?

Thanks.

Go back and make sure the settings changes were actually updated. There is a Save button down at the very bottom of the page that must be clicked to make the change. Sometimes this is overlooked.

councilconsulting,

and in advanced settings I selected "what I follow" ...
but I am getting Individual emails and not a daily summary, and I am

I don't know if the Daily Summary provides a summary of all Topics, or if it obeys the Following rules.

But I don't know why you would be getting individual emails instead.

n.b. Your GMF subscription is currently set to Individual Messages. Perhaps you changed it back?

We are a charity knitting/crochet/sew group and databases are the most important part of our group. ?Each month we support different charities. ?I set up a database for each on so members can add their details if they will be supporting that charity. ?At the end of the month donations have to be posted so as each member sends off their contribution they record the date and tracking number and when it reaches the group member who is collecting parcels she marks them off as received. ?Without databases we would be lost!!

Victoria,

I think the answer is that it was unexpected that one would want duplicate copies of a file.

Perhaps the right answer would be to ask for an enhancement to add support for links to files instead of copies.

We use Databases for listing a specific sub specialty listing of ophthalmologists.
We use it in our premium group to provide a visual mapping worldwide which also allows patient members to elicit Google directions.
We use it in our Management group w/out the map for referrals when needed.

That said, there could be a bug. When I look at the event (as a GMF Moderator via the edit screen) no reminders are set up. So I'm not sure why we're getting the first one.

are the same.

Is this a bug or a mistake in settings?

A bit of an aside here.? You can actually create reserved tags before they are ever used, in case you want to adjust the settings.? In my case, I created all the "cal-" tags so I could make them all moderated.

Bruce, Chris,

You've already mentioned that someone has manually added #monthly to
the subject line of the existing member notice of type guidelines in
ShalsTest.

That someone would be me.

I was curious if a manually added hashtag would be processed by the system as a hashtag. And it is. The other possibility I had in mind was that the automatic hashtag might preclude having others. Or vice-versa.
