I think the subsection, /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/joining-groups/responding-to-a-confirm-your-subscription-message, has a good description of it.? There's a bit of additional info at /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/understanding-groups-io-accounts/overview and /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/understanding-groups-io-accounts/creating-a-groups-io-account.

I don't think that the member help is clear enough about what happens if someone doesn't have a Groups.io account.

Anyone agree with my thinking? I can send something to Beta, Docs subgroup, but if iHelp is clear to everyone else, then I won't!

The help assumes if you get an invitation, you have a Groups.io account already. It doesn't say what happens if you are new to Groups.io
/helpcenter/membersmanual/1/joining-groups

I actually tested it with a new Gmail account to see exactly what happens with an email address that is new to Groups.io.?

If someone doesn't have a Groups.io account, they receive a Welcome to Groups.io email after they reply to the invitation. It says:

Hello! It is my first time posting to this group. How do I know if my group members have a Groups.io account? We add members manually to our group and then suggest they create a Groups.io account to navigate and post. We are curious how many members do go on to create an account.

If they are on your list then they have an account, that's the way groups.io works. The real question is whether they know how to log in to the web site to access the group there. They may have an account but never have logged in - many people are content to just work by email. --?

I am having trouble in my group,

I keep getting a notification that says count change,

You will need to be more specific about the notification. Can you provide a
screen shot of it or if it's an email notification, the full text of it, please?

If it's a notification about a member changing their displayed name, you'll get
that when a member changes it, usually from a default of the member's email
address to something they want to use as a username. This was a recent change.
You can disable the notifications for that.

Hello there,


I am having trouble in my group,


I keep getting a notification that says count change,


I don't know how to salve the problem.


Can anyone help?

This person is not on my group (she used to be, but caused trouble and was removed)...

While I don't pretend to know the answer can I ask if the errant member was definitively removed or perhaps put on the Banned list.

I ask just in case someone like the person you mentioned retains their Account; it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that a change of the account email address might work its way through to an entry on a banned list.?

Considering that Groups.io is a group email service, it stands to reason (to me anyway) that they may show up in the source code of messages, as several here do.

I joined your group and used View Source from the More menu on a few of
them. The = sign at the end of a line is a continuation character that
instructs the browser to concatenate the lines.

No, that isn't a browser feature at all. "=" at the end of a line is a feature
of quoted-printable encoding, which is normally used only in email. HTML
content in email should be completely decoded before passing it to a web
browser or display engine.

An email-to-web conversion should not include URLs that are broken up in
any way. Special characters in URLs embedded within HTML content are handled
a completely different way, called "URL encoding", based on %xx escapes.

That was my initial thought, but? no authentication.? They also show up on Google Images and FB/Twitter when I syndicate there.

*Something* seems to be between groups.io and my host that is blocking access.

But thanks for your time and input, this clue might very well lead to something; I'll keep trying different solutions.

I joined your group and used View Source from the More menu on a few of them. The = sign at the end of a line is a continuation character that instructs the browser to concatenate the lines.

Beyond that, there are several img tags containing src parameters that refer to files on tranceam.org. The height and width parameters seems to be honored but not the image source. Does this domain require any authentication (logging in, etc) to access these files? If so, that could be why they aren't being displayed.

Good luck,
Bruce?

Chuck -- You might try setting the #Feed hashtag to Moderated. If you let them accumulate for a week and then approve them all at once, I believe that will give the behavior you want (at the cost of some inconvenience).

For the benefit of others, there is no system hashtag called #News. The one associated with the RSS integration is called #Feed.

That said, you can append an already-existing hashtag to feed messages if you want to (on a feed-by-feed basis).

Will that do what I think it will do and just send out those RSS feed items on a weekly basis??

No. Feeds are polled for new messages every 30 minutes. That cannot be modified. Messages arriving via the feed are sent out like any other message (i.e.: in accord with each person's subscription settings).

If I also select under Hashtags->Notification->Web/App Notify, will it send out that notification of new posts on a weekly basis along with email notifications on a daily basis for our members who have Summary as their default notifications?? I'd like to not have that redundancy if possible.

The purpose of notifications is to provide timely information on system activity. They are sent immediately, regardless of subscription setting (kinda like special notices).

Although each individual can turn them on and off, there is no mechanism by which the sending of notifications can be delayed.

Regards,
Bruce

I'd like to setup an RSS feed from our website's blog to our group.? If I use the #News hashtag for that feed but don't want the default timing of every 30 minutes, can I edit that hashtag by selecting Mute Topics->Mute Duration and choose 1 Week?? Will that do what I think it will do and just send out those RSS feed items on a weekly basis??

You're welcome to post a #suggestion on the where it will be seen by management.? However, the documentation clearly states that the measurement is in pixels, including a Tip to leave it at 0, so reading that is always a good idea.
