Shal,? you lost me.? It is titled a monthly reminder.? It says it is sent out monthly so what is it that I am seeing that is not there?? What I am hearing is that the monthly reminder does not go out automatically every month like the description implies ( "Message sent to the group every month" ).? Am I wrong?

Peter,

I then previewed it using the eyeball icon. Everything looked fine
but when I sent a message out the formatting was wrong.
Does Groups.io add certain parameters I should be aware of?

Most likely the problem is that the formatted text editor strips many HTML tags and parameters when you save the text. I believe that is the same for the Sig text as well as message bodies, wiki pages, and elsewhere.

I don't know of any specific documentation about it though.

You can easily verify that the Yahoo content is still there.

In that case, simply start another transfer of the main Yahoo content to the main (parent) groups.io group. Create a new GIO subgroup (with a different temporary name), and transfer the Yahoo subcommittee content to the new GIO subgroup. After you have verified that the new content is complete and correct, delete the current committee subgroup (remember to change its name to a unique random string first), and then rename the temporary subcommittee subgroup to its desired original name.

Should work but don't wait too long.

I am curious why the pending subscription response does not include the link to the approval page for that member.? I set up the pending subscription notice a couple days ago and today I had one response but had trouble getting to the approval page on my smartphone.? After I finally got to the page and approved the member I noticed that the pending member was in the list (with others that did not answer the pending subscription notice) making it necessary to go back to the original reply and see what the email address was of the person that did respond.

Thank you.

That seems to be an odd way to do it!? Why call it a monthly notice if it is not sent out each month?

Thank you.

Hello,
Is there any Wiki or Help info regarding html signatures??
I basically copied and pasted the code signature I use for Apple Mail. I then previewed it using the eyeball icon.? Everything looked fine but when I sent a message out the formatting was wrong.
Does Groups.io add certain parameters I should be aware of?
I've attached the Good and the Bad.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

we have several members that send from the?? domain

It's probably one of the blocked domains since it issues disposable addresses.? There are several that have been blocked by groups.io for being major spam sources.? You could contact support to verify it.

A few site FAQs: /static/pricing#frequently-asked-questions

Is there a way to send screening questions to someone requesting to join the group, either automatically or saved in the group to be forwarded to the applicant? We just set up our new group today and could not find a way to do that. We used 3 screening questions for people applying to join our Yahoo group and continue to use them for our Facebook group. We would like to do the same for this new group.

Yes, there is a way to screen potential members - if your group is restricted.
Use a Pending Subscription notice.
See -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Screening-New-Members-Using-the-Pending-Subscription-Notice

Lots more in the wiki - especially info about logging, changing email addresses, adding an email alias for sending, etc.
And info about settings -?

There are lots of "standards" that have never been implemented.
In this case it seems there's been not much actual activity between 2014 and 2018 but Apple, in hopes of saving space in their more advanced phones, dredged up this standard and implemented it.? The fact that none of the graphics programs recognizes it gives Apple an edge to hold off competition.
During 2018 there has been lots of papers about the format, etc.
I suspect that since most of the graphics industry isn't intensely Apple-centered, they may not have been aware of Apple's implementation or they just don't care?

HEIC is a nominally standard format, but most graphics programs don't recognize it.



As you suggest, it's probably easiest to just change the setting for images you want to post to Groups.io.

However, HEIC appears to be the highest resolution image that Apple provides, so for archiving photos I download them from iCloud and save on my PC as HEIC, then use a converter to get JPGs.

Here's the (free) converter I use:

Works on PC or Mac.

It looks like the new format for photos on my iPhone won't work with Groups.io.
Anyone else finding this, or is it just me?

What was then necessary was to add a Bank Account and set a Payment Schedule under Settings > Payments and Payouts > Bank accounts and scheduling. Adding the bank account requires you to set up a Direct Debit arrangement (to receive payments) and then a Payout schedule. You can select an Automatic Daily, Weekly or Monthly schedule, or a Manual schedule.

Thanks for the details about what to put in the Account Name, Legal Business Name, etc. That is especially useful.

I have updated the page of the wiki for future reference.?

In case people haven't used the wiki, there is a handy search box at the top. Just in case you don't see your query in the table of contents.

So far, I've received one donation in my connected bank account and expecting another 4 payments on Monday 25th November.

Does that answer your question, sufficiently?

I agree.? My group logs in and wants to see what new photos were posted.? It would be great if there was a default of "Most recently modified" - either for everyone, or at least for a user to select.

On the left menu right next to the admin dropdown is a number "-2". What the heck is this and how do I respond to clear it?

I'd suggest contacting support, including the screenshot, group name, and any other details you can about what you'd done before you noticed it.? Better to send too much information than too little for something like this.? Probably a previously undiscovered bug.? It should only show positive numbers.
