When emails are sent with a newly posted reply, I want the entire thread to be included in the email. Currently, if a reply is posted via the web, there is no included context in the reply email.
Is there a setting to change this?
Thanks.
Mike

It's easy to send invitations to promote a new group if you know where to send them. That's not my case. I started a group hoping to meet similarly-minded people online. Is there a regular promotion of new groups like in the Meetup organization?

1. Is it possible to modify the “rejection” notice to state our group does not use hashtags?

You can have as many Rejected Message notices as you want.? The one that's marked active, if any, is the one that gets sent when you reject via email.? If you reject online, you can choose from the list.? I use several and name them so that I can easily select the one that's needed.? In your case, I'd probably name it "No HTs" or similar.

2. Can all the hashtags be changed in a batch to moderator only or do they need to be recreated to be changed? I didn’t see a way to change a hashtag that has already been created.

You have to edit each of them.? On the Hashtag page, click on a hashtag.? On the page that comes up, click on the Edit button in the hashtag box.? There you can change the settings for that hashtag.? Be sure to scroll down to click Update Hashtag.

3. Is there a way to set up a similar file but that is keywords and for reference only? *

*. On a similar note, I would want to set up reference files for our members with our posting guidelines, rejection explanations, etc.

You have lots of options for this.? You can create a file with the information in it, then send a link to those that need it.? You can put this information in your Group Guidelines which can be set to be sent out monthly.? You can Monthly Reminder notice to be sent out.

I agree that users should be able to choose whether they want plain text or html, and not have that left to group managers.

Sometimes it's a matter of the technical abilities of the members.? It's much easier to force HTML so that only one explanation for how it works is needed.? On a more technical group, having multiple options would be less likely to cause problems.

My own problem with digests remains that context gets eliminated in discussion threads

That's easily cured by not bottom quoting.? Bottom posting or interspersing will keep everything together. A well written reply should stand on its own.

There are programs to do this with.? I found free and paid versions available.

Suppose someone with a Yahoo group does not wish to move to Groups.io but would like an ongoing online archive available to all users. The Yahoo owner could create a Groups.io group and subscribe it to the Yahoo group, providing a searchable archive without affecting the subscribed users at all.

This used to be a recognised way of backing-up a Yahoo Group with a Google Group.

Google ditched the facility about the time Melissa Mayer left to head-up Yahoo.

does anyone know of any Advertising promotion groups that i can join to gain more members

There have been some mentioned, but I don't recall any specific group names.? You'll probably have better luck if you post links for your group (with permission, of course) to sites and/or other groups with similar interests.? A good description of your group that people will easily find in the site directory will also help.

You can upload as much as you can, but there's no way to get a transfer done by Groups.io? If you had followed the procedure, it would have been completed.? See /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Moving-to-Groups.io for possible options.? You can also contact [email protected] to request a refund.

It sounds to me like the transfer wasn't very well communicated to the YG.? I think it would still be a good idea to get some sort of reply though.? You should suggest this on the beta group.

Sorry, I have to quibble here. While group owners technically have the final say, some groups do function as a democracy, with 'owners' who merely contribute administrative duties to the group.

I've not had this particular problem with digests, but I agree that users should be able to choose whether they want plain text or html, and not have that left to group managers. My own problem with digests remains that context gets eliminated in discussion threads, which also affects our ability to forward mailings. I was initially really excited about Groups.io, and for the most part I still like it, but I wish users had more control over digests.

Several questions about hashtags

I have Android OS. Is there a way to convert the PDF to RTF so that my members can read them easily?

Thanks,
Anna?

Hello,
We also subscribed to Groups.io on Oct 29 2919 and paid the Premium fee for transfer from Yahoo Groups. We demanded the transfer the same day. The page indicated that the transfer request was in progress but we have no more information today. Could you give some information, please ?
Thanks.
Best regards

Just tried this. I thought I would get an 'already subscribed'
email, but as best I can tell, nothing happens. No log entry, no
response.

So, if an existing member doesn't know that he's a member, and tries to
subscribe via mail, and gets no response, his next logical step might be
to suspect that he was using the wrong e-mail address, and so he then
sends his subscription request to the group's posting address.

And so, today our group got a lot of "subscribe" messages from existing
members who were told (on the Yahoogroup) that they should join the new
GIO group.

Samuel

The same is true if you change your group description - the welcome message for new members doesn't get updated

I just joined my group under a different e-mail and as a regular member and I am able to use the hashtag still.? I have it set up like this...am I missing something?

I am very perplexed as to how to keep this hashtag where I as the owner/moderator can be the only one to use it.

Hello everyone

If a user who is not logged in to the web site tries to join a list that they are already subscribed to, using the URL:
GROUPNAME.groups.io/g/join
they are told that they are already a member.

But what happens when a user who is already subscribed tries to join via e-mail, i.e. via sending an e-mail to:
GROUPNAME+subscribe@...

Does it show in the group's Activity log? Does the user get a notification that he is already subscribed?

Samuel
