Re: Email addresses
So found this old topic about editing someone's email.? (The thread did have warnings about doing this)? ?But, I'm interested in doing this for a strange reason...
We added a bunch of emails to our group (premium, so we could do the add).? ?Somehow, 1 or two email addresses have special characters at the end of them (see photo).? ? When I edit the email, delete the special characters, then try to Save - I get the warning "That email address is already registered." It seems like the system isn't realizing the difference between? [email protected]<special>? ?and @gmail.com - Is this a bug? - If the system is ignoring these special characters, should I care? thoughts? - John Mc |

Thanks to my announcing exactly whats going to happen she went and set her email to individual from no mail .its going to be a mess next week?

Re: Members that are Not Confirmed
For background, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Status-Badges-in-the-Members-List
You can go to the member's account in Admin, Members. Click on the member's name or email address. Scroll down and ask Groups.io to send a confirmation email to prompt the person to reply. - Click send confirmation email. Frances -- Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)

Members that are Not Confirmed
I'm new at this group owner/moderator business. I recently became the owner of two small groups here on groups.io because no one else wanted the task of transferring them from yahoo, and I didn't want the information to be lost. This was done manually using "free" groups that I created. As the new members requested membership, I manually approved them, but a few are now showing "NC" (not confirmed) on the members list. What, exactly, does that mean and what should I do, if anything, to correct this? At the moment, I am leaving these few members on a moderated status.
