Stephanie,

So to test the below, I signed up my daughter from her device (she has
never logged in) and when tried the unsubscribe link from her
email/device she also got the same request to login.

Since that seems to directly contradict how the system is said to work, you should report that in beta. Probably best as a new topic with the #bug hashtag:


In your message I think you should cite this answer:

Before convert my entire yahoo group over any chance this is a setting
I can fix?

Nope. It isn't supposed to be that way,

I don't know if you need the screenshot, but you could include it for emphasis. Maybe there's something about the fact this is being handled on a mobile device. But your test wasn't was it?

Shal

This works fine, but I don't see a record of these direct emails under Admin->Activity. Are these messages logged anywhere??

No...if you need a copy of your own message, you must BCC yourself.

Any replies coming back will appear in both the log and in that member's "+Owner Messages" page.

I joined my own group using a secondary email

email that was sent to my secondary email. However, instead of it
unsubscribing, it took me to the web to log in. Why is it doing this?

Wild guess: because weird stuff happens when you have two accounts on the same computer.

I recently had this with gmail: signed in to one account and clicked on a link, then saw that gmail had me logged in as one of my other gmail-accounts

WoF:

I'm told the following will work.

1. Open the file in Excel.
2. Select the column containing the email addresses.
3. Hit ctrl-C to copy this list of addresses to your clipboard.
4. Return to the groups.io page (Invite or Direct Add, as appropriate)
5. Click with your mouse in the box labeled "Email Addresses" to place a text cursor there
6. Hit ctrl-V to paste the contents of your clipboard into the box
7. Click the "Add Members" button

I am awful with typos, Chuck. So I do an Edit or two BUT this is not sent out. I do it to clean up archives - and admonish myself to do better.

If a member did as you say I'd moderate him and explain, mostly offlist.

I HATE when, because of this problem, some owners simply shut down edits.

I recently ran into the same issue where a regular member did 5 or 6 edits on his post before getting it right. Everyone whose Email Delivery setting was Individual Messages got emailed all his changes.

Chuck -- Yeah, that can be a problem, if the edits are trivial...but if the edits are substantive, it's a good thing.

? So I was wondering 3 things:

1) If those whose notification is set for a daily summary rather than Individual Messages, would they also get all those emails?

A Daily Summary does not contain any messages, only a list of active topics.

If the edit[s] is completed before a Digest is due, only the final version is included in the digest. Keep in mind that when a Digest is "due" varies from member to member, depending on what topics they have muted, etc.

2) If the original poster deleted then reposted the message rather than editing it, would the original message still go out to all, including those set for Summary?

See above.?In addition, if the original post has triggered the sending of a Digest, both will go out, in separate digests.?

3) Is there some legal requirement for this? It seems like we're not allowing them to put lipstick on the pig but we're allowing them to kill it-;)

The original message has already gone out to everyone on Individual Emails. Thus, the only way to effectively avoid the dupes is to never send out ANY edited versions.?I don't like giving regular members the ability to change history, and on that basis if a groupwide option was available to somehow suppress the sending of edits, I would not take advantage of it.

I don't know about the legal aspects, but I do think it's appropriate that groups.io maintains an audit trail (click the Edited link at upper right). In an extreme case, someone could post something obnoxious to the group, edit the post, and subsequently claim they didn't.

The online message archive is, more than anything, a record of emails that have previously been sent.?It's easy to lose sight of this if you read all group messages online.?

FYI, any Links pages on YG were transferred as databases when transfers were available last year.? You may want to use a database for them.

There's no way to send the contents of a file.? You could create a Monthly Reminder Notice to be sent and include the correct formatting in it.? You can also send a link to a file.

There is no such function on GIO.? It's been suggested before (on the beta group), but I'm not going to wait for it to show up.? I can create such a file in Notepad and upload it easily enough.

Not directly.? There can be NO formatting or extraneous characters included in the information used for invites (or Direct Adds).? See /helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/inviting-people-to-join-a-group/sending-invitations-to-join-the-group

Groups I was in used these very often.

Others may reply differently, but our travel group had a large links library in YG. When we moved, I moved the links to the wiki.
You can see GMF's wiki - albeit used for a different function. But you can extrapolate.

This is what appeared when a new member (who never logged in ever on any device) clicked the unsubscribe link.?

FYI, yes, I was on my computer and already logged in under my owner account when I hit the unsubscribe link in an email for a different account. So to test the below, I signed up my daughter from her device (she has never logged in) and when tried the unsubscribe link from her email/device she also got the same request to login. Before convert my entire yahoo group over any chance this is a setting I can fix? Otherwise I will have to tell folks about +unsubscribe in the welcome email, which is not something I want to highlight in a welcome. Thanks.

What Shal said.

To be clear, the only thing you can export is your member list. Files, photos, your message archive, and everything else was removed a year ago.??
