Alak -- I cannot speak to whether any behavior has changed recently for recurring all-day meetings. However, you can force a #cal-notice to go out at 8 am by making that the start time (instead of using the All Day checkbox). Put the actual hours in the Description field.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

The problem is that now the e-mail notices get sent out at 6 pm on the first day which is too late for the first day.? Previously, #cal-notices used to go out at 12 am, then it changed to 8 am, now it's happening at 6 pm.? Is there any place where this is configured?? How can I change it to sent out notices at 8 am again like it used to?
I am wondering whether you set the time zone for your group calendar.

Possible problem in Members section?

 

Hi Everyone,

??? I'm not sure if anyone can help me figure out this problem, but I figured it didn't hurt to ask.

??? Every so often I go to Admin, Members, click on a member's name and check their Activity History. Because I'm checking several members at a time, I just click the "back" arrow. If I'm on page 1 of the members, there's no problem returning to previous pages. But any page beyond that, I get the alerts shown below.

??? Now, I understand the alerts are from Firefox, but what I don't understand is why page 1 is always fine, but pages 2 and up don't work? It's the same on all of my groups.

??? Thanks for any help!!





what I mean by member page numbers....this was page 3

alert #1, this shows up when I hit the back arrow
Screen Shot 2023-05-20 at 3.52.31 PM.png


after I click "Try Again" on alert #1, alert #2 shows up, then I click "Resend" and it finally takes me back to the "Members" page

I submitted it to Beta after I got word that GMF had no way to work with it. If it doesn¡¯t exist, it can¡¯t very well be handled here.

I believe it justifiable as a worthy function.

Re: Group Promotion

 

Hi Bruce,

Thank you. Yes, and has been working flawlessly for a number of years. ?I will go and and do some homework. ?The back story is that the guy who has done the code management of the website got a regular job, was brilliant, got promoted 4 times and is now a senior manager and....the rest is history. I am pretty good at managing thousands in my community, not so good at the details of code.

But your kindness and logic gives me the clarity to pinpoint what happened and find a good solution. And I drive a ?26 year old 4-Runner and sometimes just some random thing breaks. I have a good mechanic. ?That is the missing. part in the code equation right now. LOL. ?My grandson will be moving in today for some respite care. I will have a chat with him first.?

You last suggestion is perfect. I understand it, it makes sense and I can easily sort it. Thank you for the insight!!!

Kathleen

Who started doing online community when Mark started doing e-lists ...So I am one grateful puppy.

Re: How to move messages in the Parent group to subgroup and vice versa #howtoguide #subgroups

 

This is a subject that was apparently last covered in 2018.
I've got a Group that a message was sent to us by a member on a new subject to us. It has taken on a life of its own - so I created a SubGroup to 'section it out.' I figured there HAD to be a way to simply link, or Forward, or Move, or SOMETHING to get the - now three distinct-but-same-topic - thread ported over to the new SubGroup. And then i checked the Owners Manual, and then this Group threads.

Has any progress or change been made in what I read here - that there's no way to do that?!

I will Merge all of the messages, and then the three Topics together - in the main message gallery. But I so want to get this all over into its own section...

Thanks all.

This suggests that you have 3 members in NC/Bouncing status and 2 members who've been banned.

Do you have any NC or bouncing members as these are not included in the homepage count?

I'm looking at this because, subjectively, I Think our group has been slowly growing but the stats are hard to sort out. Maybe the counters are outta sync?


Re: Group Promotion

 

Kathleen -- This problem with Wordpress is almost an FAQ. Didn't you have this working at one time?

Check out the following:?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/67893168#25827?

Please also note that if the prospective member already has a groups.io account and is logged in, the promote form will not work. I generally recommend that you provide a mailto: link to the subscribe+ address instead, as it is more versatile.

I still use the old-fashioned Wordpress for my housing group website, ie. not Gutenberg nor Elementor, etc.
But here's how I would try to do it.
In Appearance, Widgets. Then Sidebar. Then Custom html.
Paste in the Admin, Promote and the code.

No guarantees! And perhaps you tried this already.?

Group Promotion

 

I am trying to add a email signup option to a page on my WP site. I copied the code provided in the promote section onto a test page and published it. It simply displays the code and not the signup (subscribe) box.
I check the owner's manual for help but couldn't find anything. Can you direct me?
thank you!

Brenda,

Be aware that anyone who is removed, banned, etc., can get a new email address
and attempt to join under the new address. Depending on how you handle the new
membership process, you may not even be aware of them joining under a different
address.

I had one member who wasn't adhering to our rule about foul language. I banned
the member's email. He joined under a different account, but he is now behaving,
so it accomplished the desired result in the end. I know he did that because of
his writing style, his never quoting anything from a post he is replying to,
etc., but I figured he's learned a lesson and hasn't broken any rules since he
joined again. I could have banned his new address, and kept doing the
whack-a-mole thing, but all that really matters is that he's using appropriate
language now.

Donald
