How do you?set your Groups.io group to no attachments?
Go to the Settings page for your group.? Scroll down to the Message Formatting area.? In the Attachments selection, you can choose Allow, Bounce, or Strip.? For minimal interference, you could choose Strip so the message would go through without the attachment. Duane

I believe that's a FB group, not a page, since it asks me to sign in.? I'm not very familiar with FB though.

If you can create an account that is also a moderator you are halfway there.

Backup your membership list, files, and databases to your computer, for a start. Your photos as well, if you have room. To move to groups. io you need to make it a moderator, and I think that takes an owner. I believe you can upload from your computer, however.

More fool me :-( Thanks, Debbie. Marina

Mine is a page I'm trying to integrate that tells me: The name does not appear to be part of a Facebook page.???Any thoughts?? Tammi

When I put our facebook page url in the url field, it says:? That name does not appear to be the name of a Facebook page.? Our page is?
Any thoughts?? Thanks so much, Tammi

Sharon,
How do you?set your Groups.io group to no attachments?? I don't see that option under settings, and it looks like the default (only?) option is to allow attachments.,
I'm just beginning the transition of a 750-member group from Yahoo Groups to Groups.io and am trying to understand attachment options.? Our group has many yachts at? sea or in locations where bandwidth is severely limited, so a no-attachment policy (as we have on YG) is what we need.
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks,
Milt

To save a bit of time you can go to the "Members" pull down menu at the top of the Members list page and select "Bouncing". This will display all of the Bouncing or Bounced members in your group so you don't have to scroll through the entire list.

Oh, re-reading, are you saying YOU are at the other end of the invite, and it is NOT getting through? I see. Not sure what's going on, in that case.?

Subject: Re: [GMF] Save Settings for Messages? I did a little testing this morning to see if I could find a solution.? If you use the link to your group on the overview page, /, it will always take you to the Topics view since it's a hard-coded link.? If you go to the group home page instead, then click on Messages on the left menu, it will remember which one you had selected.? In this case, having a bookmark to the home page (or the view page while Messages is selected) would get around the problem.? Unfortunately, once you've been to the Topics view, it remembers that as your last choice, so will return to it.

There's not currently a list of hashtags on the Event entry page.? You can add a hashtag in the Event Name, but would need to know which ones are available, unless you have your group set to allow everyone to create them (Only Moderators Can Create Hashtags is NOT selected on the settings page.)? A quick search of the TODO list, , doesn't show anything similar.? You could suggest having the dropdown available as an addition on beta@.

Re: All Posts Need Approval
#issue
ALL new users are moderated in your group, including you. Go into your settings and check the number (1, 2, 3, or 4) in the "new users moderated" setting. That is the number of posts from each member that need to be approved before they are unmoderated.?

Re: All Posts Need Approval

You could try looking in the Activity log for entries of 'Edited group'.? It won't tell you what was changed, but will give you a date and time that might jog your memory.
