Re: Additional member attribute(s)
#suggestion
OK, I found the Notes field, but when you do a Search it doesn't search said notes field.? But as you suggest you could put the Notes in the drop-down; that might be useful Seems like we have two different use cases.? ? ?I'd like a field that I can search on and email this subset of members.? ?But your use case of just 'additional information' on members, and let them fill in what fields they wish. Your examples make me think - One implementation could be to create a default database for each group created called 'members'.? Tie it to the member list, but we could add any fields we wanted to.? If a member went away the entry in this database would go away.? Database could have the standard 'choose visibility' settings? (Now I wonder if this is become implementation gone wild.? :-) I'm up for anything in beta - depends if you want to try a simple use case though (make notes searchable) or something more involved and database-like - John On Wed, Jan 10, 2018 at 12:27 PM, Shal Farley <shals2nd@...> wrote: John Mc, |

Re: changing profile
Sugar, Ok, I am stuck again Please go through my list of steps one by one and tell us what you see and what you click/type. Start with / Is there a list of group names there? If so, is the group you're talking about in that list? If so, are there any badges like "Owner" or "Mod" after the group name? If so, what are they? Shal |

Re: Hi, new to groups.io, need assistance please
Cara,
I have been reading the updates since they began and saw you can sendIf you are inviting people to an event then that should be all you need to do. When editing the event, in the Notifications section at the bottom, checking "Send Invite To Group" causes a message to be posted in your group immediately when you click the Add Event button. What showed up was a button, outlined in grey, within it was a blueCorrect. That ICS file is a standard format, members with a compatible personal calendar should be able to import that file to add your event to their calendar. As the owner of the group I tried in my personal email to open it, andInteresting. Do you have a personal calendar as part of your AOL subscription? If not that could be the problem. Or maybe AOL's calendar doesn't support ICS files. I don't use AOL so I don't know how to advise you. I believe that other email interfaces, such as Yahoo Mail, Gmail, or even the Thunderbird email client would offer to add the ICS file to your personal calendar. If you use a calendar that isn't integrated with your email interface you ought to be able to save that ICS file, and then import it in your calendar. Not as simple as just clicking on it, but possibly easier and less error-prone than manually copying the info into your calendar. Shal |

Re: SMS / Phone Text
Michael,
So the quick answer to this is that it works. If you add someone as aExcellent! However, you cannot reply via text, it gets rejected by Groups.io. IThe key is the "From" address. It must match the subscribed address or else the reply will be rejected as "not a member" (unless your group allows non-members to post). If that's what happened you should see a "Non-member" entry in the group's Message Activity log for the attempt. If you find that entry make note of the exact email address reported. You can (when logged in under the subscribed address) add that sending address as an Email Alias on the Subscribed address' Account page, Login section. It is under the "Advanced Settings" expander at the bottom. If the email gateway always sends replies with that same address then those should post as if posted under the subscribed address. You can, however, click on the "View/Reply Online" link and reply in aIf your device has a mobile web browser it may be fair to ask why you're bothering with SMS rather than just using an email service. But to each his own. ;-) Shal |

Re: changing profile
Sugar,
I am or supposed to be a moderator for a group ...Go to your group list here: / There will be an "Owner" or "Mod" badge next to any groups you are owner or mod for. If you have neither badge next to the group name in question then that group's owner (or a sufficiently permitted mod) will need to promote you. If instead of a list of groups that page shows you general info about Groups.io then you are not logged in. You will need to log in (using the email address which is registered in the group) and then go back to that page. ... and I am not able to see the directory (read the directory) ..."Directory"? Do you mean that or do you mean the group's Members list? You can't use the Directory to remove anyone, so you must mean the Members list. Go to the group and (if you are at least a moderator) you should see an "Admin" item in the left column. Click on that to expand the Admin controls for the group; the Members list is one of the items there. ... because it says that I have to change my profile settings?I can't make any sense of this statement. I'd need to know what page you were on to have a clue what "it" said that, and what it might have meant. So I have. I am currently on owner and mods only and since that doesI'm again at a loss to understand what you're trying to say. But maybe that will be moot once you go to your group list and check whether you have the appropriate badge there. I have and she has tried to locate Mark and I know with the holidaysIt doesn't sound to me like this is an issue that needs Mark's attention. I think you're in the right place. So now I need to remove someone and I can¡¯t even have the list ofTry these steps: o Use the groups list to verify whether you are a mod or owner. o Click on the group name in that list to get to the group. o Click on Admin to open up the Admin links o Click on Members to see the members list. At this point the Members page may be showing you the Members list, or the list of Pending members if there are any. If the button at the top of the list says "Pending Approval" click on it, and select "Members" instead. o Use the Search box to find the member you wish to remove, or scroll down the list to find the member, if the list isn't too long. o Click the check box next to the member's name o In the Actions menu at the bottom of the page select "Remove". It just show myself and it says 1 out of 36 but just myself.I don't know what you're looking at there, but I don't think you're using the word Profile correctly - as that would have to do with your own subscription, not with admin control over your group.
