Re: Getting statistics of member activity

Just to start this off, Directory isn't the place to look if you want to see all of your group members. You need to use Admin, Members. There are some dropdown menus once you are there. It won't be in one go, though. It will be member by member. There is also Activity.?
?
It is possible stats may be available through exporting the message archive. Anyone with info or experience on this??

Getting statistics of member activity

 

Hello GMF members.

If I go into "Directory" and choose a member of a group, I can see how many times they have posted a message.
But I have to do this one at a time.
?
Is there any way of getting such statistics in one go, such as seeing how many times all the members have started a thread or participated in one. Maybe what tags they used if they started a post,

Also a way to email all members who have never posted for example, and any other useful tricks?
?
I think the answer is always going to be "no", but I want to make sure.

Thanks

Thanks Andy. I'll layout an enhancement proposal for this functionality and submit it to Beta this evening.

Desired behavior:? Once an individual user's delivery preferences for main have been set, any subgroup they join after that point will automatically inherit that same delivery preference.? ?This is at the user level, not Admin -> Membership -> Defaults for the whole group itself.??

The answer is No as you suspected. Each subgroup operates almost as a stand alone group and new joiners will take the defaults set for that rather than those of the main/parent group.?

Usecase:
  • An easily confused elderly user base who have demonstrated difficulty doing anything beyond sending email
  • Users always want the same setting everywhere?
  • The admin for Main creates the user's account via a direct add with no subgroups included
  • All subgroup joins after the direct-add are self service using the "join" button and do not require moderator approval
  • Don't want the added burden on the group moderators of constantly having to validate/tweak someone's delivery preferences for them whenever someone new joins their subgroup
Thanks!

Re: Strange Behaviour

Sorry no helpful suggestions on your issue but I moderate a Google Group and there are similar issues there. We have not tracked down the cause and sometimes it¡¯s hard to get exact circumstances due to variances with member¡¯s tech understanding.

  • Someone reports they see replies but not original.
  • Other members see the original post, obviously since they replied
  • Reporting member checked Spam, Junk, Filters, Rules, and searches by Subject to see if message went astray
  • Member who¡¯s original post wasn¡¯t received by reporting member can send message directly and it is received just fine

Since it doesn¡¯t appear to be a problem with the sender (all messages received by others OK), it¡¯s either the group or the receiver. Can¡¯t be a global problem with the group because working fine with other members. Unless the group is glitching and NOT sending random messages to one member, we are back to the receiver.

?

My suggestions to that reporting member:

  • I can delete & re-add their membership
  • Reporting member change their email password because what if someone else is intercepting emails and happened to delete that one?

Other notice for email bouncing

 

Can groups.io send the 'you are bouncing' message via something other
than the email address that is bouncing? Like a text or alternate
email address?

Sue,

With all of the data breaches recently the name and phone number could have come from any of them.

Just one message? I was under the impression that this was a continuing problem.
?
If it's just one missing message, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If the problem persists, check any filters set up in your mail client to see if one of them could be rerouting/deleting group messages. It's been known to happen -- to me.? :)
?
Beyond that, I have no further suggestions; but maybe someone else has another idea.

Good luck,

Re: Strange Behaviour

 

Hi Bruce, I checked, and each group is set to Individual Messages, which I normally receive with no problems.
?
Also, the "missing" email message was shown in my message history for both groups, but I never received the email.?

As I said, strange behavior. ??¡á?

¡°We have Roster in Files that contains name address and phone.¡±

?

  1. Is the group private?
  2. Is the roster in Files that contains those names, addresses, and phone numbers restricted to the membership? To the moderator? To the owner?
  3. If the list is readable by _anyone_, that list is capable of being legitimately downloaded by any of your members.? At that point, you have lost control of the data . . . at that point, it is out in the wild.? It has escaped the security features provided by Groups.io . .. the safety of that data now depends on the owner of the device it was downloaded to.? If that individual doesn¡¯t have reasonable protection and practices in place the data is more likely to have been stolen off that computer, not groups.io.

?

Safety begins at home; strong passwords, OS and all other software kept up to date, Software such as Norton, or other, to provide scanning and detection, stay away from sketchy websites, take a good look at all unsolicited e-mails, even those that profess to be from folks you do business with (I get all kinds of phishing software professing to be about ¡°my account¡± when I don¡¯t have an account at that institution.? I get phishing e-mails purporting to be from my actual bank account that don¡¯t originate at the banks domain ¨C example: an e-mail from Wells Fargo, but the actual e-mail address is ¡°Âá´Ç³ó²Ô.Âá´Ç²Ô±ð²õ°ª...¡± . Believe me, Wells Fargo hasn¡¯t retained John Jones to send you e-mail from your personal address!

?

Bottom line, its not likely (but it¡¯s not impossible) your problem began with someone not in your group accessing your list in your files section.? Most likely the problem began when one of your members downloaded that data to their less than secure device.

?

Best regards,

If for some reason the member included their phone number in a post, it would have been seen by other members. From there it could have gone anywhere.?

maintain privacy and safety with a no-names policy

 

Recent discussions of privacy and safety concerns spur me to suggest to others what my group requires:? No use of names!? If an email address uses a real name, then the member must get a gmail or other new address using something other than a name.? The name itself, of course, cannot be anyone's actual name. Our longstanding need for privacy is due to other concerns, but given the address harvesting and other dangers lurking these days, I recommend it to other groups.

If it's not already, you need to change it to Restricted Membership under Group Type And Moderation.
