Members no longer receiving emails
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? |

Re: How to post as a Moderator?
I usually put "From Admin:" or "From the List Admin:" (or something similar) at the beginning of the subject line. Cal From: "Marina" <moderatore@...> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2020 9:51:53 AM Subject: Re: [GMF] How to post as a Moderator?

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.

Re: Print a member list?
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?

Re: Copy/Paste Pics in Messages No Working

To the source, it was a clipping from newspapers dot com. I normal copy my clippings directly from that site right onto my group post.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.

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 Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual |

Chris could also sign their post to the member with: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 byI have done a test with my group moderators, the message appears as sent from the owner address but with the name of the actual sender, in this case the moderator's name. Is there a way to send a message in the group from the owner address under a standard name, such as Owner or Admin, etc.? Marina |
