Re: Messages List for Owners/Moderators Only

 

Found it. ?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/2885

As Duane mentioned, many have wished for a page for +owner messages that
works much like the group Messages page, but is available to mods and
owners only and includes messages sent to and from the +owner address

Did you confirm that "Subscribers can view and edit"? Are you sure that this other subscriber does not have Moderator privileges.

Was the person with the issue logged in? There are a lot of options in the Permission settings.

Messages List for Owners/Moderators Only

Darlene Dimitrie
 

I was reading some messages in this group from 2017 about a "Messages List for Owners/Moderators Only". ?

This is so we can see Messages sent to/from the owners/moderators of a group in the groups.io system and not have to go to our external email client to see it.

Was this ever implemented?

Sorry, don't know if there is a better way to indicate an existing thread.


See?Messages List for Owners/Moderators Only ??
This thread starts with message #2885

Is the group Moderated?? That sounds like the setting you really want.? All messages except those folks that you've set to "Override: not moderated" will always be moderated, regardless of the NuM setting.? Won't hurt to leave it and it will go away after the proper number of posts from new members.

Direct Adds and Invited members are not new user moderated.

You can change them.?Go to Admin, Members, click on the checkbox beside Display Name. Then use the Actions menu to change the moderation. You can try to change it to Group Moderation setting.

I would do all of them (you might decide to EXCEPT your own, but if your group moderation is just an email or two, it should be okay.)
Just an FYI, I am moderated in the moderated groups I belong to, including GMF where I am a moderator, and 1A-Travelzine where I am an owner. We all are. Sober second thought like the Canadian senate!

On Admin>Settings, scroll down to the Features area.? First item is Calendar.? Make sure you're using one of the choices that includes "Subscribers can view and edit" in Permissions.? Be sure to Update Group if you change it.

Have you looked at the settings in Admin for the calendar? If it is set to Subscribers can view, moderators can edit, you need to change that if you want her to do it.

Try the Concatenate function:

CONCATENATE(fncell, " " lncell, " <", emailcell, ">")

Exactly, except you forgot the last step which is:
Copy/Paste the contents of the new column directly into the input box in the Add Members page. And you must have an = sign before CONCATENATE. and missing comma before lncell.

(You do not need the spaces after the commas. You do need the space before the < symbol.)

If you're really new at Excel, here's some more detail. Assume that the first entry you have is in Row 2 with Firstname in A2, Lastname in B2, and email address in C2.
Then you would put =CONCATENATE(A2," ",B2, " <",C2,">") in D2.
Press Enter
Then select cell D2 and select Copy (or press Ctrl-C)
Now highlight from D3 downward to the last row of data.
Press Ctrl-V and the formula will be copied to all the Column D cells, and magically the references to A2, B2, and C2 will be updated to the appropriate rows.

Re: Direct adding names as well as emails #addmembers

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

How are you at file manipulation? Or using formulas in a spreadsheet?

If you can get the file with each line:

FirstName LastName <emailAddress>, it should be no problem.?

If you¡¯re in Excel, create a concatenation formula in a new column that takes the column with the email, and makes it ¡°<¡° + email-column-id + ¡°>¡±. Hide the column with the actual email address and export the spreadsheet as a tab delimited document. You should be able to make a space rather than a tab as the column delimiter.

You should end up with a correctly formatted document that you can import.?

I know that I might be subjected to delays while Groups.io checks the list for spam. That should not be an issue; I cleaned the list before adding.

I have noticed though that almost all platforms I've worked with have varying

didn't truncate longer posts (just discovered Google Groups does that, and
Yahoo Groups did too). Digests seem to be one of the trickiest things to do
well.
Truncate? I think you mean the autotrim-feature. It does not remove stuff if you write something UNDER what you quote.
I know groups.io does it in digests, but unfortunately not in individual messages.
I think it's an OPTION in googlegroups
