I don't think it's the force that's causing the problem.? I did a test and changed the topic properties to Reply to Sender instead of the default Reply to Group and it still posted online.? Seems to be glitches (bugs) that haven't been quite squished for some combinations.? If/when I have time, I'll do more testing and post to beta for Mark's attention (or you can).

Frances, if you force HTML, does it override the reply rule you set
for a hashtag? I just tested this, and it looks like it does. Here's
what I mean: I checked the "force to HTML option for a subgroup, and
set a rule on a hashtag to a "reply to sender" instruction, rather
than the "reply all" that is the default for messages without the
hashtag. I created a message in text format and sent it to the group.
But it appears that the hashtag default of "reply to sender" is
overridden when the text message is forced into HTML. Is that correct?
I want the hashtag rule to control.

Dan -- Your database has a URL within groups.io. Just "upload" that URL to your Files area as a "Generic Link."

As for "pinning" it, that could be problematic. The only way to know to do that is to provide this new "file" with a Name that would sort to the top (alphabetically).

Likewise, I'd like to create a column in the database/table the would link back to the individual folder for that individual.

In your database, create a column of type Link. Add the URL for the folder in question in each cell, along with an appropriate Title and Description. Default color for a database column now seems to be blue; be sure to select something else or the link will not be visible.

Finally, please note that when you click on any of these links -- either the one you "uploaded" to the Files area or the ones in your database table -- the destination always opens in a new browser tab. I don't know of any way to override this behavior.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Overall, I created a File folder that contains a number of individual file folders.
Stored in it are single, personal files, one for each of the members who have died, that members can post memento's , etc. about that member.

I have created a Database (table) with pertinent information listing all of the members who have died.

I would like to PIN that database as the top 'entry/document/file' in the top-level folder. Likewise, I'd like to create a column in the database/table the would link back to the individual folder for that individual.

Restated: a Master folder contains 1, 2, 3, 4, 5~ individual folders; I want to PIN the Database ahead of file number 1, to perform as a 'locator' or 'index'.
I'd like the Database to contain a column that has a link back to file number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5~

Thanks!

I have noticed that reply options (reply to group, reply to sender) are not always in the footer in emails. Is there a way to have these options appear consistently?

It depends whether the message is HTML formatted or plain text.?

You can force all email to be HTML.?

There is no mention of atom feeds in the groups.io docs.?/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-integrations-with-outside-services/feed-integrations?

I'm assuming it does, but I haven't found any explicit confirmation of that.

All I can suggest is that you try it. Please report back on your findings.

Bill,

One way to get around the limitation is to have them sent their emails not to the group but to a custom Gmail (or whoever) address you create, which you have already added to the group and have set up custom forwarding (of their messages only) to the group address.

That will allow their messages to post to the group unmoderated but won't give them access to the group's pages.

Cheers,
Christos

No.? Nonmembers are always moderated.

We have one vendor that frequently sends messages to the group but we don't want to add them as a member with access to all our messages. It's annoying to have to approve every one of their messages.

I thought I read somewhere that non-members were allowed to send skip moderation once they had successfully been through it twice.

Thanks in advance.

Ahh, it makes sense now.? As Duane mentioned in /g/GroupManagersForum/message/41229 , "I try to make it a habit now to click the Members button at the top so it's starting with clear parameters before starting to filter."? That's the safest way to clear the filters and not run into this.

Cheers,

I wonder if maybe there wasn't another selection checked, along with the Bouncing?

Just as a followup: I visited the group in question again and this time the 'send bounce probe' option did not appear.

Backtracking I found that a pending member had just popped up (and I did not notice that had just ocurred) so while the 'Pending Members' box was (also) checked there was no 'send bounce probe' option showing . I then unchecked that 'Pending Members' box and filtered only for 'Bouncing' and 'lo, the 'send bounce probe' option again appeared in the 'Action' button's dropdown menu. Mystery solved....

Thanx for the suggestions to those who replied. (Someone may want to get out Ann Landers' proverbial 'wet noodle' and give me a few smacks with it!)

Don -- You can keep this from happening with appropriate edits to the #chat-notice hashtag.

I suggest ticking the "Locked" checkbox so the topic is locked immediately, but you might want to review the other available options before deciding.

Is this a normal function or a bug?

Although the From: address in the notification's header says "[email protected]", the actual Reply-to: address remains the group's posting address.

If -- as the notification actually says -- people are to be discouraged from replying, a good argument could be made that this is a bug, or at least undesirable behavior. Having said that, it could be that other group owners like it this way; so I'm not inclined to report it as one.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I am having a situation in our group that I am not sure is normal or not.

We have a member that has requested a new chat on two separate topics with the group, and the members are receiving the notifications which I think is a normal function. What is happening though is the members are replying to the Chat request email they receive, that has a?[email protected]?address that comes with the request, and their replies are showing up in Messages as posts to the group.?Is this a normal function or a bug?

Please keep in mind that Groups.io usually retries several times when a message bounces, unless it's a hard bounce, such as an "email box full" or "no such user" type response.? Also, some email services are more prone to bounces than others.? Looking at my account, I've had 6 messages bounce since 2015; two in 2018, one in 2019, two in 2020, and 1 in 2021 via gmail.? All of them are shown as "suspected spam".

George -- If you must have all group messages reside in your email client, you can export the entire message base and open it as a mail folder. Many clients support the mbox format, including Apple Mail and W10 Mail.

/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/exporting-or-downloading-your-group-s-data/exporting-your-group-s-message-archive-and?

If that's not satisfactory either, perhaps if you explain what your goal is we can provide better advice.

Not worthwhile, there are only a couple of dozen bounced messages and they're on various topics. But I'm surprised there's no way to re-send a message that's indicated as having bounced.
