How does someone find and join a group which is currently listed as Private?

It depends on what you mean by Private.? If you mean "private messages", no one but members can read the messages, but can find it in the site Directory, /search.? If you mean "Group not listed in directory", then no one can find it in the site Directory, so you'd have to use one of the methods Bruce mentioned.

Just a very quick message to wish all a Happy New Year, but also an especially good 2020 to all those good people here who spend their time and expertise in helping the rest of us. Many thanks!

June -- It's really pretty much the same for any group; the only thing the Private setting does is keep your group from showing up in the groups.io directory/search engine of available groups.

Four options:

1. Go to?/g/GROUPNAME?and click the "Join This Group" button
2. Send an email of any kind to [email protected]
3. Respond to an invitation sent by you (/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Inviting-new-members)
4. If your group is on the Premium payment plan, you can Direct Add people (/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Direct-Add-Members)

Regards,
Bruce

How does someone find and join a group which is currently listed as Private?? I have just set up a test group and need a few people to join for testing.? Do I need to send invites to all those I want to join for now?

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

As the approved message has come through OK, is there a setting to stop these single line messages going to the group.

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:

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.

I continue to receive digests daily from a group that I have lost interest in.

Barbara -- Did you try clicking the unsubscribe link in the digest footer?

Failing that, you can always just send a blank email to?[email protected]

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.

Thanks for the Editing Wiki info, Bruce.

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

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!

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?

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?

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

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.
