The Extra Member Data fields are new and the whole set up is not fully developed just yet. There are ongoing discussions about how this feature would be used in subgroups so as yet, the extra data is only available in a main group. Personally, I would like to see fields and values defined in the main group propagate to subgroups in the same way that member colours do. The /updatemember endpoint in the API has been updated to expose the new fields but I suspect, could be subject to change as this feature is developed further. Regards Andy |

Re: Extra Member Data
You can only add info if you have a paid group, free groups only display that data (if there already, to account for downgrades).

If you do have a paid group, you need to first define what the extra data fields are, go to Admin->Settings->Default Sub Settings and make sure to hit Save on the bottom of the page.? You can then edit that data per member. Cheers, Christos On 2022-09-29 16:21, Karin Beil via groups.io wrote:

what our policy should be for making email addresses visible to the groupIf the group is private and/or by invitation only, I don't see a big problem making the members list available.? If it were me, I'd create a poll to ask the members which they prefer.? It probably wouldn't be truly representative if folks aren't willing to log in to vote, but it might give you an idea.? Actually, just sending a message to everyone to ask their opinion might be better since they could reply without logging in.? They should remember that their email address is visible to anyone that gets one of their posts, so not really a big deal.

Re: Inviting people to become members
The Owners Manual has all the information needed, specifically the section on inviting people.

Re: Can't upload large file
One of the difficulties in troubleshooting this kind of problem is it may not be entirely a groups.io issue. It probably depends on the upload speed of your connection in addition to how busy the groups.io server is. Posting the results of an upload and download speed test in the problem description may help in understanding the issue.

Re: Can't upload large file
I should also mention that I was uploading a ZIP file. What kind of file are you uploading?
It could be that the dialog is first having to read the entire file just to render a thumbnail image. Bruce Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual |

it's clear there's something wrong with this aspect of the system, and even if there really were some network congestion occasionally preventing successful uploads, there would seem to be opportunities here to improve the system's programming in how it deals with that sort of a situation (for example, provide an upload meter bar, as Google Drive does) rather than just endlessly "spin" or arrive at a totally blank .../editfiles page.I don't know what you mean by "endlessly spin." In Chrome, I'm not seeing any busy indicator at all. I used the Browse button to select the file instead of drag-and-drop. I clicked the Add button ONCE and walked away. When I came back about three minutes later, it had been uploaded. Hope this helps, Bruce Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual |
