As I understand it, the canned text is there due to local laws in some jurisdictions, but it would be a lot less confusing to be able to put our own text at the top, if nothing else than to explain the existence of the text below.?

Better would be allow us to customize or eliminate the canned text, presumably at our own peril if such be the case.? Given that we are inviting a specific set of recipients to receive the message, it would be our responsibility, and within our capability, to verify compliance with local laws in such cases.

I do add very specific text, bold even, to the invite so parents see it's legit.

Malcomb's statement about people being reluctant to click on a link in an email is well taken.?Was there a reason for these folks to expect?to receive an invitation, or did you just send them one out of the blue?

As it was, they both ended up in the group, right? If you've only had this "problem" with two people out of 100, I'd say you're doing very well.?

Good point, Malcolm. Perhaps we should edit the text of our invitation message. I might consider that for my own groups.

Check the Email Delivery History for any of those members.? More than likely, a message couldn't be delivered for some reason, but the reply came through fine.? Nothing a mod/owner can do, it's all up to the member.

Sometimes a member of my group does not receive an email sent to the group, but then does receive an email replying to that message, with the original message included. I remember this also happened to me on one occasion, and I’m the group owner.

I’ve looked at the membership details of the members who have complained of this. There are no obvious problems and while a couple of the email hosts are btinternet, another one is yahoo.

Can you suggest a reason for this problem, and is there anything I, as group owner and moderator, can do about it?

All groups.io emails contain the subscribed address, right next to the unsubscribe link (see screenshot).


This is the email address that she needs to use to log in.

Duane and Pete, many thanks for your replies.
I've told my member to do what you suggest. Hope this will solve her problem.

Best,
Marina

You'll probably find that they didn't use the invitation, they applied on their own, so get the pending notice.? For some reason, a few folks get confused about accepting an invitation, though it seems super simple to me.? Another possibility is that they chose to join using a different email address, so couldn't use the invitation.

Hello Group,
I send out about 100 invites and I've now gotten two odd responses from members. They are responding to the "pending membership" notice.?Why are they getting the "pending membership" notice when they've been invited? ?I assumed the "pending membership" noticed was triggered when a person requests to join, however these members claim to have followed the invite link. What's happening here?

You might ask her to click on her name in the upper right corner of the screen and tell you what email address shows up. It will most likely be different than the one you see if you look at her member record, confirming (as Duane said) that she's logged in with a different account.

That tells me that she's not logged in with the correct account.

A member contacted me saying she can't access any longer the group via web.
She used to access the group web interface without any problem, but now she can only view the group homepage and can't click on any link.
The group does not show in her "Your Groups" list, but she regularly receives mails from the group and her account is not bouncing.
She tried to logout and then login again, but nothing changed.

How can I help her?

Thank you in advance for your help.

No such thing.? All you can do is go in later and remove/delete the attachments.

I was wondering if I missed a setting somewhere that might allow me to allow

Thanks for the idea... I'd thought of that previously, but I don't think it's feasible to re-arrange our entire structure due to the confusion it would cause with some of our less than tech-savvy membership...?

Hi Jay,?

Our club president has asked me if there is a way to restrict members from the web interface (or only allow access to the mailing list for a group), in order to support certain outside members/ambassadors from other clubs...

As others have said, there is no "almost a member" subscription status. At the same time, setting up a subgroup and moving all the sensitive stuff to it seems like real hassle just to accommodate a number of people that could probably be counted on one hand.

The above suggests you just want to let them to participate in the group's existing message traffic. If your message archive is public, non-members can already read it online. If you want such people to receive group emails too, that can be done with a mail forwarder (from someone who is already subscribed). If you want to allow non-members to post, there is a setting for that, too...such posts are always moderated. If you don't want them to be moderated, set up an email integration and have them post to that.

Not inclined to elaborate further until I better understand what your goal is.

Regards,
Bruce?
