Re: Message Approval Needed e-mails appearing on the main group

 

Frances

The john.doe section of the e-mail is the member who posted the message requiring approval.? All I have done is Reply and Send to the approval needed message.? Looking at their message activity it shows their postings, plus a line showing the approval by a moderator.

The work-round, as also mentioned by Bruce is to approve on the website, so I shall use that in future.

Thanks for the help
Steve M

Steve -- This is something of a guess, but...

There's a bug in the way btinternet handles emails sent to the +owner address. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/34125793#18881?for details.

When responding to a moderation message, be sure to select just Reply,?not Reply All. Or use the webmail interface for moderation activity.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Puzzling! The group should not see behind the scenes!
When ?moderating by email, you just need to click to reply to your email without adding anything.
And, a problem I have, be sure to select the correct email address for sending my blank reply.

Perhaps you are actually adding a new post inadvertently. Is the John.Doe address you?
Check out what is happening in Admin, Activity.?
And in John.Doe's account through Admin, Member, activity.

Are you trying to do this on mobile? Those icons will disappear if the screen width is too narrow.

This works fine on an iPad (9.7 inch) on both mobile and desktop version.?

But not on my iPhone 11, not in either orientation.?

Looks like we'll just have to live with that if we want to keep 'text only' status for our group.
Aren't the only places to choose plain text -
- in Admin, Settings, Attachments - and that doesn't affect the wiki tools

- and in your subscription - in Preferences - that does affect the wiki tools.
But it is only for just your own subscription, not the group.

At least I cannot find it.

There are these:
Force HTML Emails
Make all emails HTML and remove the plain text digest option. (doesn't affect the wiki editing tools)
?
Normalize HTML Emails
Strip all different fonts and colors from HTML emails. (doesn't affect the wiki editing tools)

Re: How do I unsubscribe from a group?

RickGlaz-WEB
 

Scroll all the way to the bottom of this message.
(Or your own last message if the links are not there.).)
(You seem to be using the "GROUPS.IO Web Poster" page.)

There are easy links to do things with your account at that location.

Barabara,

If you can't see the group when you are logged in, but are still receiving digests, then it would seem that the digests are from an account under a different email address.

Determine which email account that is and then log into that account and you should be able to change your setting to no emails or even leave that group.

Re: #featurerequest Request for Cover Image caption #featurerequest

 

Thanks for the Editing Wiki info, Bruce.

Apparently my group's message formatting choice of 'text only' DOES affect the Wiki Editor.

Clicking on the hamburger menu to show advanced formattng in the Wiki Editor for a Home page I created shows a second line of formatting but that line is missing the dropdowns for font, points (size), and for text color, and highlighting (background color).

Looks like we'll just have to live with that if we want to keep 'text only' status for our group.

Thanks for all the suggestions, Bruce. They helped me deal with the 'problems' I was having with creating a Sticky Wiki.

Hopefully all the info in this topic will help other GIO owners and moderators who find themselves in a similar situation.

Cheers!

Wiki Sidebar #wiki

 

I've added a sidebar to my wiki. It's markdown, the preview is ok, but it is shown on the pages as text.

Did I miss some setting?


Joining the subgroup directly still not possible?

 

Hello

I thought that this issue was resolved recently, but I tested it and got this result:

A test user (i.e. me) tries to subscribe to my test group's subgroup directly, via e-mail.? Groups.io replies (from the subgroup), saying that one should reply to confirm the subscription (to the subgroup).? The reply from Groups.io mentions the subgroup specifically and not the main group at all.? After replying to the message, the moderator receives a message from Groups.io that the test user wants to join the *main* group (not the subgroup). The moderator approves the membership.? The test user is now a member of the main group, but not of the subgroup.? After a few minutes, the test user receives a welcome message from the *main* group, and the moderator receives confirmation that the test user joined the main group.? The test user is still not subscribed to the subgroup.

Is this still what it supposed to happen?? Is there no way to make the test user join both main and subgroup simultaneously?

Paul -- I haven't played with it enough to advise on you that. Optimum width will probably vary between desktop/mobile, too.

As to text color, there doesn't seem to be any text/background color control button anywhere.
Click the far right icon to open the Advanced Toolbar (see screenshot below). At that point you should get text color and background color icons.



As mentioned earlier, perhaps it's because our group is set to text only.?
That Message Formatting setting affects the message editor but not the wiki editor.

Change device for Two Factor Authentication #howto

 

Hi,

I've already configured Two Factor Authentication for my account by using Google Authenticator. Now I'd like to change the authenticator to a new device. To do that I tried to disable TFA once, but it didn't work. The status of TFA is always ON even after entering password to disable my TFA configuration.
Are there any tips to switch device for TFA?

Thanks,
Atsushi

Bruce,

Well... Some more fiddling around and I finally found & got the 'sticky wiki' function to work. Still haven't figured out what the maximum image size is cuz when I make the image larger the bottom portion is cut off. a horizontally an image ratio of 3:1 is either too small or, enlarged the bottom gets cut off. With a 5:1 ratio that works better and can be slightly larger than the 3:1 image without cutting off the bottom.

Looks like trial and error will be the way to figure that ratio/size part out.

As to text color, there doesn't seem to be any text/background color control button anywhere. As mentioned earlier, perhaps it's because our group is set to text only. Or I'm just not looking in the right place for the color control.

So far so good. At least I can now put a photo at the top of the message page.

Cheers!

Re: Download members list

 

ELM,

But I don't understand what happens when I do that. I click download
and then a new tab webpage opens with the data all separated with
commas.
What I usually do at that point is select all, copy (Ctrl+A Ctrl+C), then switch to Excel and paste (Ctrl+V) it into cell A1 of a sheet. Then use Text to Columns (Data menu) to split the data.

What I really want is a CSV file that I can open via Excel with
everything separated out into columns.
I see you've already figured that out. Normally I'm only interested in keeping the .xlsx file, not the .csv, which is why I use copy/paste.
