1. ?Is there any way to SORT MEMBERS according to POSTING STATUS

Not via the web interface.

The best way to figure this out is to download your member list to a CSV file (see the download button at the top of Admin>Members). After importing into Excel or similar, you can then sort by the column headers...Posting Status will be in the 6th column.

2. ?Is there any way to BATCH CHANGE everyone to moderated posts.

In Admin>Settings>Spam Control, tick the Moderated checkbox, scroll down and save.?

Now open the member list and tick the checkbox at upper left to select all. Pull down the Actions menu at the bottom of the page and select Change Moderation. When the dialog box pops up, select Use Group Moderation Setting and click the Change button to confirm. Repeat for each pageful of subscribers.

Generally, life will be easier if you forget you ever saw those Posting Privilege override radio buttons.

For some reason, when our group was transferred from Yahoo, many settings were eliminated.

The settings on our home page are correct, but apparently being overridden by certain members.

Much thanks for all help.

AOL, Yahoo, and Verizon are all the same company now, so they likely share a lot of computing resources.? Yes, it may happen regularly, but you won't know unless you check your bounce history.? If it continuously happens, you'll end up bounced (red B next to your name) and GIO will attempt to send you an email.

My experience has been that I never want to have a member set to any of the "overrides" for the long term.? I always want the "use group moderation settings".? The reason for this is if you wish to handle the group differently and change one of the group settings that would affect all users it won't affect anyone with an "override" because their ID will continue to follow the override? So down the road you may end up with a mixture of group moderation settings and overrides that will give you fits.? Things won't work as you expect and you will wonder what's wrong and think groups.io is buggy.

I recently posted a message to a group of which I am an owner. I did not receive the message when it was sent to the list, and that was unusual, so I checked and found that it was included on the group site. I then checked my own message delivery history and the message showed as bounced with the following reason: "mx-aol.mail.gm0.yahoodns.net: 554 5.7.9 Message not accepted for policy reasons. See ". Can anyone explain to me how this could possibly happen. I use my verizon.net address which is received by aol, and has nothing to do with yahoo. Is it possible this has happened before to messages that I would not have known about?

Looking at the kicad-users home page, it says "Members can set their subscriptions to no email." So I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to do this. Is it possible that you have two subscriptions to the same group?

Try sending a blank email to [email protected]?and see if that works better. Be sure to send this from the email address that is subscribed.

If you still receive emails, you will indeed probably have to contact the group owner.

Hello.....

My group moved from Yahoo just fine.? Now I need to create a sub group.? Can someone point me to a web page or link to Sub groups?? My group wants me to create one and I am unsure how it is done.

Thank you,

Hi:?

I have one @GIO group (kicad-users) that I am still a moderated subscriber.? I have not ever tried to post a message to this group. I have visited this group and marked my subscription for "No Mail", but the emails keep coming in.?

What must I do to stop those emails? Should I write to the owner-moderator about this??

Thank for reading this.?

Regards,

Don -- Yes, if you're good at editing raw html. Note that many html constructs (javascript, forms, iframes, etc) are prohibited and will be stripped upon save.

I am wondering if there is a way to list posts by the author, especially if the author has unsubscribed from the group?

If still subscribed, you'll find a link for that in the subscriber's profile in the Directory.?

If not, things get more problematical. If you can find one message, select "All Messages by This Member" from the More hamburger menu at bottom right.

A search does not appear to search the "from" field, at least I couldn't get it to list the posts if I searched using the author's name.

Correct....message search only looks in the subject line and message body. However, if you know that person's posterid, you can put "posterid:584690" (the provided number happens to be my own posterid) in the search field.

Sandi/Gina -- A group Guideline, once set up, will appear on the left-side menu bar, and can be referred to by that means at any time. It can also be automatically emailed to a person when he joins, by ticking the corresponding checkbox.

If you want a memo of some kind to go out as an email at some other scheduled interval (i.e.: not the first of the month), you have to set that up as a recurring calendar event, not a member notice. When set up correctly, the memo will appear in the group as a #cal-notice.

What does "monthly" mean -- that it will automatically go out a month from when you set it up?

As far as I have figured it, the monthly notice will not go out excatly one month after you set it up. It goes out on the 1st day of the month in the time zone that you have set for your group. It begins on the 1st day of the month following the date that ayou set it up. I haven't found a way to send it out monthly on a specific day such as the 15th or the first Sunday of every month.?

Hi Denise,?
You may want to subscribe to this GMF group to learn more about how GIO functions and it's features. You can host a free group so that neither you nor your group members will incur any fees.?
