Is there some way I can check to see what time zone individual members are in??I don't think so. Calendar management can be a pain, not because of anything groups.io does, but just the nature of group dynamics, time zones, and even the international date line. First, it's important to understand that time zone is an account setting, not a subscription setting. Any single group can have subscribers all over the globe. So if you were to set up a calendar entry for a meeting at noon UTC, it would show up on my calendar as occurring at 4:00 PM EDT. Assuming all of your subscribers are local, your Default Sub Setting for time zone will be applied whenever a new subscription is set up for someone who didn't already have a groups.io account. If that person already has an account, those defaults will not be applied; and each affected subscriber will have to update his time zone manually (HINT: it's on the?/account?page=prefs?page).? I have not actually tested every single bit of this but that's the way I understand it. Regards, Bruce |

What is the best practice for Pending Subscription notices for a restricted group
#membershipapplication
#membernotices
My group, like many, requires moderator approval before a member may join the list. I have set up and activated a Pending Subscription notice which asks prospective members to respond with the small bit of information we need to verify them.
I very much like this pending subscription notice. However, the prospective member gets both this pending subscription notice and the automatic confirmation notice. That seems a little messy. If there is no way to turn off the confirmation notice, then I may have to return to manually responding to each notice I get of a prospective member joining.? Are there better approaches to this common problem? Thanks! Jesse |

See??for instructions on how to reset a password. Contact the Owner again and have him go through that process. I know Y!G has been collecting cell phone numbers of late and perhaps his password can be reset through that mechanism. Failing that, the green box at the top of that page has a link where he can sign up for priority phone support (at $4.99 per month).? There is no way for anyone within groups.io to help you with this.?Someone on your end must give the transfer agent sufficient access. If your group's data cannot be read, it cannot be transferred.?

Who would i talk to to allow the transfer to use my login and password to accomplish the transfer?As far as we know, you can't.? You could try emailing [email protected], but they're snowed under, so it may take quite awhile to get a response.

Thank you for that reply. That's a shame. It is a really useful feature on Yahoo.Agreed. Does it make any difference if the Pending Subscription Message is the only Active message rather than the Welcome Message? Would the links for my approval/rejection then appear with that message?No. The Welcome message is not sent until after the applicant is already approved. Also, a Welcome message of some kind is always sent, whether you create a custom one and activate it or not. See?/static/help#membernotices ?If I then approved the subscription would the welcome message then go out to the new subscriber?Yes, that's how it works. Regards, Bruce |

Re: Able to edit reject message heading?
I've been wanting to know also, how to copy the original text of a message so that it appears in the response. I must be misunderstanding Gerald's directions to Ninman. I selected the portion of the message that I want to appear in my response. Then I clicked on Reply to group. Nothing was automatically pasted into the response window. So, I clicked on Paste, and the text I'd selected was pasted into the response window as a regular copy/paste - no "On such and such date at such and such o'clock, So and So wrote:" What am I doing wrong? Also, I don't see any lasso icon in the reply panel. All the formatting commands are at the bottom but I don't see a lasso in either the automatically displayed commands or the advanced format commands. Thanks in advance for your help - Deborah On Thu, Oct 31, 2019 at 05:07 PM, Niman H wrote:
Side question - how do you copy the original text of a message so it also appears in a response? Is there a quick way, besides copy/paste?Niman, Select what you want to paste before replying. It will automatically be pasted along with the introductory "On ...." If you want to include the whole post, click on the lasso icon on the top left hand side of the reply panel after you have started the reply. ? -- Gerald -- Deborah |
