It creates and stores separate sessions in the browser, which can be accessed by clicking the extension's icon. It looks like one can also keep two sessions open simultaneously in two tabs, and switch between them without having to log in and out all the time.
Does anyone know of other extensions that does this?

Re: To those who are new to Groups io
Peter, Frances and others -
I appreciate your efforts, and your desire to reduce the traffic here is quite admirable.
?
The problem with this message is that the ones who really could use it haven't found GMF yet. If you watch the repetition of questions you'll note a few instances where someone has answered a question and the exact same question is asked again the same day. Newbies show up and don't bother to read past posts or look for answers. Too many of them just shoot from the hip and think they're the first ones to ever have run into these things.
?
Such a post might be much more useful if it went out to people who establish new groups or to group owners when they initiate a transfer. But Mark would have to add it to the process for those events.

So as an owner of one group and a member of half-a-dozen others, a new phenomenon just appeared. One of those groups just transferred over to Groups.io within the past couple weeks and ALL of the emails coming from that group are being marked as junk/spam by Comcast. NONE of the other groups have had email marked as spam except for a couple rogue messages that had questionable text within them. I went to the Comcast UI and created a rule that is supposed to direct anything from '@groups.io' to the Inbox. I just now did that, so I don't know how well it works, but that seemed kind of a clunky way to 'white-list' GIO, but I couldn't find anything better searching the COmcast site.I regularly check my junk folder for strays, but to have to do it for every email from one particular group will be a pain.
Any ideas for a better way?

I noticed that the Notification to Owners & Moderators quoted by Sharon was slightly different to that set out in the relevant section of the GMF wiki. The wiki page has been amended to match the current wording. Chris

When I set my own group profile to public, I can see the following when not logged in: Photo Display Name User Name Joined date Location Web site Link to all messages by me My "bio" So, additional information that is visible are the date that you joined and a link to all messages posted by you (if such messages can be viewed by the public). And your chosen privacy setting is not visible. * Will people be able to contact me if I make my profile public? Only if you put your contact details in your "bio". You can put your e-mail address in the bio, and make it a hyperlink, if you want to. * Can I see what my profile looks like to the public? Yes. Make it public, and visit it using a different browser. The URL is: /g/<groupname>/profile/@<profilename> * Is there a way to search for public profiles? Fortunately (or unfortunately) not. From the home page, you can search for groups, but not for people. If the group's messages are public, then members of the public can visit the group's messages and search for a person by name (but not by e-mail address or by profile name). Samuel

Re: Yahoo deleted our group
That was only on the group owner's page, so it shouldn't be an issue here. Groups.io has the same ability at the bottom of the settings page.
Unfortunately, there's no way to find out what happened and no way to report the problem. This seems to be typical of Yahoo - they really don't want their people involved. Users should just use the system and read the ads, and if it doesn't work, they really don't care. Just one more important reason why people seem to appreciate groups.io; support is real and can be reached when things go sideways.

Hi~?
I set up our group's RSS integration to work with our blog's RSS feed. But when we had a new post go out, it was not sent in the groups.io messages. Am I missing something?
Thank you!

Duane,
They do not show up later, and they are not shown as bouncing.

I do not care for the order of the boilerplate message (it does not flow properly to me) and I really hate the ¡°Cheers, The "My Group" Team" signature.? Why should the signature be chosen for me?
Also, where does the [Name] information pull from when doing a batch of invitations if no name is included.? Does the invitation just come out with [Name]?

What is my "profile" exactly? If set to "public" how can I see what the public version looks like?
When I go to: ? ?home -> myname?-> Account -> Identity -> Account Profile -> Edit I see a "Profile Privacy" setting which gives me the option to make my profile public.? ? I have the following questions about public profiles:
- Is it only information on my "Account Profile" which is made public?? ?
- Will people be able to contact me if I make my profile public?? ?
- Can I see what my profile looks like to the public?? ?
- Is there a way to search for public profiles?

Janet You can have more than one groups.io webpage open at once and each one signed in with its, in your case, unique account. For all groups except your owner group you would have to logout with your owner account then sign in with your account appropriate to that group. DOes that make sense? Margaret UK
