Change to options in free basic groups?
Just recently, our non-profit organization has experienced a change in creating a free basic group. We no longer have the ability to upload files to our group. Has there been a change to the options for the free groups? We can see a pull-down for "upgrade" and the files option is listed there, but we cannot access it. Thanks for any help you can give.

Re: Email Full
Is there a summary of stats on a group in one place? It would show things
like number of members, messages, space used for different things, etc... Right now I find I have to hop around to figure out those things. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.org www.syracusemodelrr.org |

Re: Email Full
Whilst it *may* be a phishing mail of a kind it is also possible your online inbox *is* getting near full

Although as I have 1TB of storage I suspect you will too and its unlikely that you have reached that Do not click any link in the warning email but go online and check your Yahoo mailbox Go to settings then more settings Bottom left is the size of storage and the percentage you have reached Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 08/01/2021 13:15, Green Gate Grove via groups.io wrote:

Re: Question on Subgroup invites
On Fri, Jan 8, 2021 at 12:49 PM, Beth Weld wrote:
If a person is direct added to the main group we also add them to 4-5 subgroups depending on requirements.It sounds like we have a similar set-up. We have a pre-approved club membership list which is managed externally to Groups.io. As people join, they are Direct Added to our main group and relevant subgroups and as they leave they are removed.? Allowing subgroup Mods to invite people to a subgroup means they are added to the main group and therefore the Mods have an element of control over the main group that we do not want. Andy |

I proposed a few solutions in that topic, the quick and easy "in subgroups, hide/disable the Invite option for all but the owners" solution would prevent stuff like this from happening.

Re: Weirdness

Thank you, Bruce. I didn't think to start taking screenshots until I had deleted the guy.
I figured it out. I have created a couple of subgroups. One of the moderators in a subgroup is a bit thoughtless, and sent an invitation (to join the subgroup) without my knowledge or consent.So the other log entries are in the log for the subgroup, but the master membership record was added to the main group. I think I'll make a suggestion to Mark, that when members are added to the main group because of activity originating within a subgroup, an entry should also be made in the main group's actvity log. When I thought to look at the subgroup I saw what had happpened pretty quickly. But I also saw that the member's deletion (by me) had not been logged in the subgroup's activity. That's also a little confusing. -- David Bryant Canyon Lake, Texas / |

A few thoughts: -- Those who transferred from a Yahoo group using the Easy Group Transfer mechanism will have no join entry in their activity log. -- Could you (or a co-Owner) have accidentally changed group settings for awhile, thus allowing him to join without review? -- Could you (or a co-Owner) have invited this person? Accepted invitations do not go into Pending status. -- Could this person have joined under a different email address, and subsequently changed it themselves (or had a co-Owner change it)? To my knowledge, changing an account's email address -- or merging it with another -- does not generate a group log entry. -- Generally, I've found the string search function in the activity log to be less than reliable. If you have a Premium group, you may have better luck looking at this person's log entries in your Past Members list (click on the Removed link to see it). Some obscure combination of the above could perhaps cause what you've seen.? Hope this helps, Bruce Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual |

Weirdness
#addmembers
Something very strange just happened. I was reviewing the membership list when I noticed a member I had never approved. His membership record said he had joined at 8:06 pm CST. I noticed him at 8:30 pm. I kicked him out once I was certain he didn't belong in my group (membership requires approval, and this guy was never approved). Here are two screenshots.
? Notice that there are no log entries showing when this guy joined my group. I keep careful track of my group's membership. There are currently 1,016 approved members in my group, and I can account for every one of them (offline records that I maintain). This guy was member #1,017 for about 20 minutes or so. How did he sneak in? Should I file a bug report? -- David Bryant Canyon Lake, Texas / |
