Have you checked to see if the emails sent to them are bouncing?

I've had a few members who've mentioned that they've stopped receiving emails from our group over the last? few days.? I've checked their profiles and they should all be receiving individual emails.? Anyone else experiencing this and thoughts on how to resolve the problem?

TIA

Karla?

Have you looked at the web UI to see if your posts are turning up there in a timely fashion?

If not, then checking that is the first thing to do.

Hi
I am the owner of a group.? When a person asks a question, I always reply quickly usually before anyone else.? The problem is that almost all the users in my group never see my replies.
There are a few that do.

So here is an example...
13:00:? Receive a message with a question.
13:05? ?I? reply to all.
14:14? ?Someone replies to original sender and I see it.? He has not seen my message
15:00? ?Someone replies to original sender, he has seen the original sender and the person who responds.? He does not see my email

Lately, I have also been replying directly to the user as well.? No response.

And so on. I tried opening a ticket, but there was no response (free account I guess). I did get the notification that a ticket was created.
So, how do I go about finding what is wrong?
Thanks, Tom

I believe the only current blocking is by domain.

is there a feature to block members by country or ip address?
i have been getting pounded by the scammers lately..
so far the approval of any message feature has been working so at least the group is not getting the batch of scam spam.?
i would like to be able to block africa as well as asia..

a whole country block would be cool.
at least for my group.

Thank you, Bruce. Rather than anonimity I had in mind consistency. Although we do have a specific hashtag for admin messages, it would be more consistent for me (and more clear for my group members) that messages sent from the +owner address appeared under a unique display name.

Best,
Marina

Will do and I'll advise the group members as well.

Thx

If you have access to 'awk' (pretty much standard on all Unix and Unix-like systems, but there are also Windows ports floating around), you can just have it print the colums you want from the download.? i.e. to print the name of the member (2nd column), and their email address (1sts column), 1st download memberlist.csv, then:? awk -F, '{print $2,$1}' memberlist.csv?

Steve -- Be careful doing that.

As stated earlier, copying an image from a web site generally puts its?URL on the clipboard, not the actual binary image. It may seem to work for awhile, because the recipient probably has web access, and it can continue to be fetched as needed....but if the image is ever moved or deleted at the source, it will magically disappear from your message, too.

In addition, if the image requires some subscription for access, it's likely that no one receiving your group post will see it at all...simply because they aren't logged into newspapers.com like you are. This could explain your failed-to-fetch-the-blob error message.

To confirm, go to Emailed Photos and check to see if the image you added actually appears there. If not, then it isn't resident in groups.io.

Maybe related to the iPad vs the windows laptop.

That could be, but generally speaking you're really rolling the dice by using cut-and-paste. The only robust way to embed an image via the GIO message editor is to first download it as a file, followed by uploading it with the Add Image dialog.

Regards,
Bruce

It does help. This occurred on an iPad, normally I use my HP laptop when at home.
I'll stick with the a pic button now.

Tried to add a pic to a post in two different groups, didn’t work by copy/paste. ?Pic limit no reached as an FYI

In the edit mode I see this:

Cannot convert blob:/6dbca5bd-41bb-4f76-8513-bcf546ee6a66 to Blob. Resource might not exist or is inaccessible.

Things like this can happen if the image is in your browser cache but no longer resident at the source.

You didn't state where the original image was located or how you got it on your clipboard.?Images, when subjected to a copy operation in a browser, are usually transferred to your clipboard as a URL. When selected and copied from image editing software, it is copied as a Binary Large OBject (blob). If the original source could not be found, an error of this type is sent to the clipboard instead. From the error above it seems you were trying to copy an image that was thought by your OS to already be resident somewhere in groups.io, but couldn't be found. We will need further details on this.

Summarizing, what I'm seeing suggests that the error occurred during the copy, not the paste.?

I then tried to edit the post to insert pic by using add image icon, in the edit mode the Add image button didn’t show.

This is normal. Adding images (or any other attachments) during a message edit is not a permitted operation.

Did a third reply to the same post, this time the add image button appeared and I was able to attached the pic.

Add Image does not use the clipboard -- the image is instead uploaded as a file. This is the preferred way to put an image in your message.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce

That number of pages will of course be influenced by the number of items per page setting you have in your account profile preferences /account?page=prefs

Thank you all, what great support!
Question answered, problem solved, and I learned a lot.
The power of community is inspiring.

True, and simple enough. Still, there seems to be little reason why we cannot reply to a message using the +owner address. I've made a suggestion to that effect in beta.

I may have jumped to conclusions as to what Chris's goal is (see below)...

You can also start a New Topic in the group using the +owner address by
selecting it from the "From:" pull-down menu at the top of the message
composition screen prior to sending.

Chris could also sign their post to the member with:

"Chris,
Group Moderator"

and that can be done through their own email program. I've done that for years, and it works fine.
