Re: Special Notices not delivered to all members who selected Special
#specialnotice
Stan,
But after I turned off the No Email option, shouldn't theyYes, they should have. Could you contact one of those people to find out if they in fact received the Special Notice or not? I guess I'm poking at whether it is the send that maybe has a flaw, or the reporting. In either case, this is sounding more and more like something where the evidence should be reported to support.

Re: Members editing and deleting their OWN messages
Tina,
I just sent another test message from my ¡®member¡¯ account, but...If you have more than one subscription (email address) in the group's Members list, both being members (not mods/owners) then one cannot delete the content posted by the other. As far as Groups.io those two addresses represent different people. So, is there any change the test message you sent from your "member" account, was actually posted from a different email address than the address you used to log in?

Re: how to enable subscribers to send messages without approval
Ann,
I am new at this and couldn¡¯t figure out how to add a response to theThe Reply function in your email interface should do the trick. As should the Reply link in the bar under each message when viewed within GMF's Messages section. That wouldn't (easily) gather them for you, as you've done here though. No, I didn¡¯t check that, but I know my own email address is registeredRegistered with Groups.io is different from being in the Members list of your group. An account isn't required to post messages by email, but being in your group's Members list is required. /Allow Non Subscribers to Post/ has been checked,¡±Unless you had checked that box. But we can disregard that now that we know it isn't checked. *Answer:* I will double-check this, but I certainly did notIt is probably worth checking your own Posting Privileges. When you create a group the default Spam Control setting is "New Users Moderated". So from that time until you unchecked that box any member that joins would have that Override set in their posting privileges. I think this would include you. On the other hand, the default "Unmoderate After" is one. So after the first time you approved your own message, or the message of any other such member, that person's messages would no longer require moderation (at least, not for that reason). Another place to check is within the Members list itself. Look for posting-related badges (P, M, NuM, or NP) next to their email addresses. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Status-Badges-in-the-Members-List Either M or NuM would cause that member's messages to require moderation. I suspect I will have my own light bulb moment one of these days.I hope you let us know what you found when that happens. I clearly have more to write in my wiki page on message moderation, but I hope to ensure that it would have answered your question, had I written it in time. So knowing what tripped you up will help me be sure that case is covered. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Message-Moderation Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: Merge Groups
Greg,
Adding information to a forum is the right of anyone in the forumActually, no. The TOS requires that you have the right to add anything you post (that it is not trade-secret, or invasive of someone's privacy, or would be claimed as someone else's copyrighted work). So importing messages in bulk runs the risk that you are importing material which you don't have the right to import. The Easy Yahoo Group Transfer mechanism actually presents a risk in that regard, but Groups.io made a conscious decision that they will rely on the Yahoo Group's admins (owner or mod) running the transfer to make that determination. If Groups.io ever implements a way to move content from one Groups.io group to another I think it would be a mechanism that verifies the source and destination, probably not an import from an exported file.

Re: Members editing and deleting their OWN messages
Your answer makes sense, and something I had not considered. I had, in fact, sent the test msg from my Owner account and therefore it made sense I could not delete it from my ¡®member¡¯ account. ?I just sent another test message from my ¡®member¡¯ account, but... Sadly, I still cannot delete. Very odd. Your explanation makes absolute sense, and yet I am experiencing this non-sensical behavior.
Further thoughts? Thanks! Tina |

groups.io error
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHas anyone started receiving the following error? I'm running the latest update of Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64 (KB4524101) ? I have received two of these errors when transmitting a post via e-mail, but when I retransmit the same message (I forward it to the same address) it goes through without error. ? groups.io rejected your message to the following email addresses: [email protected] ([email protected]) For Email Admins Only the recipient's email admin can fix this. Unfortunately, Office 365 support won't be able to help with these kinds of externally reported errors. groups.io gave this error: Ken "When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense; therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and axiomatic and fundamental truths, indicate clearly otherwise."

Re: Customization Options?
#customize
#links
Ann,
We are just trying to determine if we have other options forYou could put them in a wiki page. You could put them in a downloadable file. You could put them in your group's home page Description You could put them in your group's guidelines You could put them in a Topic which you pin to your Topics list which is best ...That, I think, may depend on how your group uses the links. Most of those have the disadvantage that you have to create a presentation for the links (text description, organization) and format them as clickable links manually. And that presentation is static, requiring manual maintenance. That is, to add a new link someone has to decide where it goes in the presentation and put it in the proper place. And it means you don't get the benefits of allowing users to sort the list of links based on columns, as one can in the Database. and/or customization of the default categories.Other than the sections which you can enable and disable through your group's Settings page (and the Guidelines which you can enable through defining that type of Member Notice), no. The buttons in the left column can't be customized or rearranged by group admins.
