First, this is for one member at a time only. And really, I don't recommend this procedure. (Although it does work. I just did it: In Members in Admin (not directory), find the member. You can use the search box at the top of the list of names. Click on the name (don't use the tick box.) Then scroll down. Be sure to save after you have made the change. As I say, this would be an unusual change, I think. The Help page you quoted says? "You can change the message posting privileges for individual members without changing the settings for the entire group. Example: A member is not following the group¡¯s guidelines for posting, so you want to moderate their posts for a while."
You might take a look at?/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/customizing-group-settings/spam-control-and-moderation-settings?single=true ?
Or perhaps you want to promote the person to owner or moderator? There is another way to do that.I am not sure whether you have set a default sub setting (second tab in Admin, Settings). That can be changed by individual users / members for their own account. And it doesn't change people who are already members of your group.

Re: Does every member added automatically have a groups.io Account?

Offhand, I'm guessing they'd have to proactively create an account because an account requires they have a password, and in doing a direct add we certainly don't assign passwords.I didn't address this directly. Direct adding (or adding a member in any way) creates a Groups.io account if they don't already have one. And your new members do have an account since you added them.. It is important for them to use Log In, not Sign Up. / /login And they can use the Email me a link function. It is important that they log in with the email address that you have in your group Members lists (in Admin). I suggest that if you haven't done so, you check out?/helpcenter/gettingstarted Frances -- Help available from Groups.io help and GMF wiki. ? |

Does every member added automatically have a groups.io Account?
Many of our members in a group recently migrated from yahoo into a new group I moderate at groups.io never had "profiles" (accounts) at yahoo.
That was a PITA when they wanted to change email addresses, etc. The members of my new group were all by direct ADDING. I'd like to know if when I added them they each automatically get a groups.io account (which would allow them to go on the site and for example, set themselves to Digest Mode, etc) or if they'd have to create accounts? And if create, short directions to them for doing so?

In another venue where I post a lot, all messages are HTML and all capable URLS display a ¡°link preview¡± pulled from the meta data at the target site. Sample image below from an Amazon page. It¡¯s lovely ro preview content and context before you click.
My question is whether your platform here (in any mode) is equipped with link previews too? I am guessing not, but thought I should confirm, thanks. |
Re: Direct Add to subgroup
Can you please clarify?
I thought the original post was from an owner of a basic group who wanted to add a non-group member to a subgroup without the invitation process.? Does this workaround only apply to premium groups where direct add is available? The Help says:

Identifying members whose mailbox is disabled or otherwise inactive is entirely a manual process.Terry -- I don't see it that way. Bouncing members can be easily found by selecting Bouncing from the blue pull-down menu at upper left. Of course, to determine if an account is actually bouncing, you first have to send it something. With per-member pricing, GIO will need to create easy-to-use mechanisms to police membership lists for various types of failures and allow moderators/owners to purge those defunct members.Depends on what you mean by a "failure." Depending on the group's purpose, someone who is lurking without making any contribution to the group could be legitimately culled as deadwood. A statistical summary of group activity by member ("posts in the past 180 days" or something of that nature) would be welcome addition to the Member List. Perhaps other mechanisms could be made available. But I'm just a group owner, like yourself. Any actual suggestion should be taken to Mark.? Regards, Bruce?

Re: Bug on uploaded photos
That's right before Unix epoch time (1/1/1970, 00:00:00), question is how much, is it just one second so that the pictures' timestamp is 0xffffffff, or is it 12/31/1969 23:00:00? If you download an image, does the image file's EXIF header show that timestamp?

Either way, this sounds like a bona fide bug. Peter Cook wrote: Every photo in every album in my groups (including some taken yesterday) have a "Taken" date of 12/31/1969. I just posted this on beta. |
