Re: about special notices

 

No, that's something they'd have to do in their email program when replying.? I don't think there's anything Groups.io can do about.? Maybe if the reply were made online, but that would be a minority on most groups.? To be clear though, it's NOT actually sent as a Special Notice unless it's sent by an admin of the group.

about special notices

 

Is there a mechanism to stop ordinary members from replying to a special notice with the [special notice] prefixed still attached, or adding it themselves?

If not, I may suggest it in the <beta> group

Not necessarily.? However, any owner on the main groups is automatically able to see activity on the subgroup and moderators can be given that permission.

This seems unlikely. When someone is approved for a subgroup they are automatically added to the main group. A person can, however, have a different Display Name in the subgroup vs the main group. You need to look for a matching email address, not rely on other data elements.

An issue I raised a while back is that someone can join a sub-group (by invitation or approval of sub-group moderator), and hence a main group, without any awareness by the main group moderatorship (through approval or main group activity log).
?
IIRC, the consensus was that this wasn't seen as a problem, as main and sub-group moderatorships should be the same.

Re: Members of Subgroup have to be members of primary (parent ) group

 

I believe it's possible to have the mail delivery set to No Mail for the main group and an active delivery option set for the subroup.

But AFAIK, there isn't a way to have a member on a subgroup who's not a member of the main group.? (If there were, I'd prganize my groups and subgroups differently than I do now.)

Well Pete, I was wrong.* In both cases (ticking the checkbox or applying a hashtag) the Special badge will appear on the pending message and the activity log entry will say "sent special notice."
?
Although these log entries do contain links to the messages, as with the message base itself there's no good way to filter them. Still, better than nothing.

If the "send as special notice" checkbox is ticked during message composition, the message will display a "special" badge while in pending status, and the corresponding entry in the activity log will say "sent special notice" rather than "sent message."?
?
If a hashtag is applied, there is no indication of this while in pending status, and you just have to remember which of the perhaps hundreds of hashtags have the "special" flag set. Further confusing the issue, regular members (non-Mods) cannot send a special notice even if they apply the same hashtag.
?
As I look at my group exports, the data available suggest that this information might not be stored at all...the message just goes out immediately to everyone not on "no email" and that's it. But if it is, I agree it would be handy to be able to filter on it.?

Members of Subgroup have to be members of primary (parent ) group

 

I thought the above statement was the case and a rule. I have at least one member of my subgroup who is not a member of the primary (parent) group. My moderator approved his membership to the subgroup in May. He has already posted a thread. How can this be the case ? barry

Re: A website that uses the domain name of our group

 

There are lots of recent top-level domain names (like .com, .edu, .org). I'm fond of .xyz, which seems pleasantly unevocative?of anything except confusion. You might be able to find one you like if you look down .

There's no linking.? You could either enter the information from the forms or allow members to enter the information on their own line of a database, depending on what you need.? If you have them enter it into the db, you can set it so they could edit their own row or all rows.

This may be one of those cases where the fix only works going forward.? You could try editing the event again to see if that helps.

Thanks, Duane. I checked that article before posting, but am not seeing any change in our events from their bugfix of 7 days ago. Seems as if the bug is still there.

Google Calendar Sync NEVER shows Groups.io Calendar Changes

 

I know there's been discussion in her about delays in Google synching its calendar, but this goes beyond a day or week. It's been a month since our group (FictionRiders) changed our meeting dates (for one month only), and Google Calendar (synched) still shows the original dates.
Is this something that should be addressed to Google instead?
