The 42 colors shown on the Edit Hashtag page are the only ones available. If you'd like groups.io to include a color picker where you can choose your own RGB values you would have to post that as a #suggestion in the beta group ().

How About a Light Blue #hashtags colour! #hashtags

It is a low priority request, however it would be a whole lot easier to see YOUR hashtags if you used a lighter blue, thanks.

Re: Need a little help with Database

Hallo Margo,

Well done working with the database.

You should be able to format a cell with lots of content to "wrap" .
This will make the cell keep its width but will grow in height to accommodate all the content. It will also make that entire row grow in Height.

On my old system the command is Select the said cell, then Format/Alignment/Wrap text

OK,
Tony

Re: Need a little help with Database

 

Margo,

I think what you want to do is leave the paragraphs alone and use the Excel "Wrap Text" function. In other words, select the column(s) that needs adjusting and click on "Wrap Text".

Here's an example snip from Excel...

No.

It's the last post in the message thread as #44.? Other messages in the same message thread without images show the SPLIT TOPIC menu function.
But is it the first post on the page?? If so, click on Date to get it to the bottom and you can split it as previously explained, /g/GroupManagersForum/message/31684

Re: messages marked as spam

 

I've seen a few members in groups that got hit with the 'masks' messages.
Their local tagged the mask message spam, which it was, but that fed back to
groups and dropped the member. Thankfully it was only a few, it could have
been many.

Re: Can't find the SPLIT TOPIC - Not on the MORE menu

 

Bruce, et. al.,

Found out the post I want to split into a NEW topic has image attachments.? There is no SPLIT TOPIC menu option for this posting.? It's the last post in the message thread as #44.? Other messages in the same message thread without images show the SPLIT TOPIC menu function.? Thus, is this a bug or there is no ability to SPLIT TOPICS of a posted message with image attachments?

Puzzling indeed.

Nope this is the 44th message.? Want to split into a new topic as it is taking the OP topic down a fast rabbit hole.

Re: messages marked as spam

 

Hi Harlan

They are probably *not* marking them as spam

Their emailer is putting groups.io messages in their spam folder and after a period (usually 30 days) they are automatically deleted

It is that which triggers the marked as spam

Just post a warning to that effect in your group and tell them to check their spam folders in web mail and mark any groups.io posts as not spam

They need to check periodically but at least once a month if not more

Re: Can't approve a message

I found two setting that may be the culprit.

Attachments were set to Moderate.? Changed to allow.

‘Allow photos in messages’ check box was to not checked.? It is now.? We’ll see what happens.

Tried to approve and it still doesn’t approve.?? Might be a bug.

?

Some kind of error message would be helpful in this type of situation.? As it is there’s no clue where to look.

Thanks for? the tip.?

Re: Can't find this member to moderate them

Yeah, that's it a "mask message"? so it was already gone.? Come to think, the first message was too generic, didn't even mention the group's actual content other than using the word "content".??
Thanks!??

Bob -- We got one of those recently here in GMF, too....word for word. Shal headed it off in moderation and told the guy to repost when he had something relevant to say.

they then send ad add for something, as a 'reply' to their own first message, and my group is non-commercial, so I deleted the ad?
Was the ad about covid-19 masks? We subsequently got one of those from the same guy, and I deleted it without comment per GMF group guidelines.

If so, note what Mark (groups.io owner) said in his post?.

My guess is that Mark acted on spammer reports in other groups and deleted the guy's account before you got around to investigating. That's why you never saw him in your member list...he "disappeared" from the GMF member list in the same manner.

There's a setting that controls how Groups.io displays email addresses in archive. Go to Admin > Settings and then look at the Privacy panel for "Email Address Visibility In Archive". Don't forget to save any changes with the "Update group" button at the bottom of the page.
