Duane I click on the tab marked "Your groups," with the silhouettes or figures. (See below)



I only have one email address I use.

I have Groups.io bookmarked and the landing page is set to the message list for one of the groups I own. When I read the messages -- or do whatever I have to do -- I pull down the Your Groups menu and click on other groups. There are two groups that have gotten very busy the past month or two. They have similar names and similar subjects (Northeastern US history) and they're both very interesting groups. I have to try and remember which topic is in which group, check to make sure I'm clicking on the right one. My groups are listed alphabetically and these two groups have always been three or four rows apart. Until this morning.

It's muscle memory. I usually start with the busier of the two, the one on top. Then I click on Your Groups and have to scroll down a few rows to get to the other one. Until this morning. Something has changed. Is there any archive of Your Groups listing? If an owner decides to delete his group, are members notified by Groups.io?

In addition to what Duane said, you could change the Privacy settings in your subgroup so that it does not appear in the subgroups list:



If members become eligible to join your subgroup, you could just Direct Add or Invite them.

Each subgroup is treated separately and has most of the capabilities of a main group.? You could set each of the subgroups to Restricted Membership on the Spam Control panel.? Folks from the main group could still see them, but would have to be approved to join (or be invited).

The one on the left menu or the one at the top?? The sort order is different on them.

Hello,?

I have a subgroup which includes only members who should not be able to view any other subgroup name until their training (a group of trainees).?
To these people this group should seem like the only group in our system.?

While they can see (and are a member) of our top level group it's locked down - no messages from any members, etc.?

What I can't suppress is the "subgroups" list appearing in the left hand navigation pane.?

When I was finished I clicked on the "Your Groups" menu at top left. I noticed two of my active groups are now listed on adjacent lines. They weren't listed that way as recently as last night.

All my groups (in Your Groups) are listed correctly. Some appear to be sorted incorrectly such as Groups.io Updates is under U not Groups.io. But if you click through, you see that the posting email address is updates@

However you seem to be saying that you don't see some "all-but-dead groups" that you belong to. Possible that you unsubscribed or you are logged in with the wrong email address? Or removed because you or your email provider marked something as spam and you didn't reply to the email notification to resubscribe? Or the groups have been deleted by the owners??

I can't see in Help what happens to my messages in Gio if I leave a group or am unsubscribed. I can see my very old messages in Your Groups, Manage Subscriptions (bottom) then Topics , All. Reverse sort order, but these are all from groups that I am actually a member of.

You might see it in your email. I can search my Apple Mail to find Gio stuff just by using [ as my search term.

Anyone with more info or suggestions?

Frances

This morning I went to the website for a group I belong to. There had been messages posted and, though I'm in email mode, I prefer to read them on the group page. When I was finished I clicked on the "Your Groups" menu at top left. I noticed two of my active groups are now listed on adjacent lines. They weren't listed that way as recently as last night. There were a couple of all-but-dead groups listed in between but I can't remember the names. Is it possible to get a previous listing, so I can see what's missing?

I should also mention that the group Title and Description do appear as Open Graph meta tags when rendered by the site. This affects what appears when you share the group's URL on social media but does not impact your SEO. Concentrate on actual content and you should be fine.

Bruce

Let us say that one wants one’s group site to be noted by Google Search Engine so one gets traffic

Normally on a web site? one has a tile of 30 to 60 words and a description with around 160 words with as many keywords as possible.

On the groups head page one can by right clicking on it go into the HTML Source codes.

Google in their searches picks up or notes these source codes which are called tags.

So your title and description will have individual tags.

At present in the groups HTML Source Code Head page there is only

a title tag being <title> email @groupio<title> being the email address of the group.

There is no tag for a description.

So basically no search engine is ever going to find the site. (etc)

The situation above is completely overstated.

In fact, most engines do not even use meta tags anymore. Why? Because too many people abuse it. They would include things that had nothing to do with what the site was about, just to boost their score. Your proposal to stuff the header with keywords is a prime example of this.

As long as your group is public, search engines will be able to crawl it. Type "Group Managers Forum" into a Google search and this group comes up just fine. In fact, it's the first hit.

So the query is –has anybody been able to change or add tags to the HTML Source codes to the Head Page

Enterprise groups ($200/month) have a fully-customizable home page on its own domain. I would assume that includes the ability to add meta tags.

You would have to split those people into subgroups and post the events to the respective subgroup calendars. There is no other way to do it using existing tools.

You can't do that on a group calendar.? Each person would have to do it on their personal calendar on their device.

Hi,
I need to have reminders for events on the calendar that only apply to certain members.
In other words, one event would apply to persons A, B, and C, while another event would apply to persons A, D, E, and F.

Thank you - given me some thing to think about here - barry

I'd like a moderator or owner to create a row for each member and allow the member to update only their row as needed.
Can this be done?

No.? The row owner is the person that creates it.

Oh, very good. The coding is different but the concept is exactly the same. I wonder why github didn't just use the same codes as mediawiki. Or maybe mediawiki didn't use the same codes as github.

If you don't mind learning more syntax, you might be able to do what you want using Markdown as your editor.? You can set it in your account preferences, /account?page=prefs.? I'm not familiar with it, but it does offer 'shortcuts' to formatting.? There are a few messages on the beta group using the search term markdown.? A little more info at (I think this is the one used on groups.io)

Aside from whether members are reading what is going on etc - many of them are leaving all the creativity to a very small group of 5-6 members max and paticipants in threads number about a dozen only. This is out of a membership of 185 members or thereabouts - not good - barry.

The default then becomes the recipt of only a (Special Notices Message) from the owner/moderator. To me this amounts to as good as a selection of "no email" by a member in the first place - therby allowing for little or no participation by the member. Is there an easy way therefore - to monitor the participation rate across the whole membership, to highlight those that hardly ever partcisipate or never at all. barry

This doesn't address your core issue about monitoring, but I wanted to remind you that you can have a monthly reminder go out automatically as special notice (you must tick the special notice box). That's what I do in my groups. At least all group members are getting a promo or whatever you choose to write up in Settings, Member Notices.
