Last year groups.io sent a message to all owners that there was a new way to pay for the subscriptions, that is, users would pay the group? directly, or some such plan, to eliminate me, as a group ower frrom having to collect the funds.

?

Where is that option and how do ai implement it?

?

Thanks!

The view that you get depends on how you get there.? For example, using the Your Groups dropdown at the top will always get you to Topics.? Otherwise the site remembers your last view.

Thank you.

Bruce took the time to make such a where the developers will see it.? Whether it might be implemented or not is up to Mark.

It took me a while to get back to you, but thank you for the suggestions. Indeed it's already possible to make columns with various options to choose from, like with checkboxes or radio buttons. However, the possibility to actually filter them when you're on the searching end is not there.?

So if that is something that could be developed, that would be fantastic.?

Thanks again to those who responded,?

Hm. Looks like this field type already exists (Single select, multiple choice). That's more than half the battle.

?

Would anyone be offended if I made the suggestion?

It would be nice if this feature would be added, so you could filter for instance on one of the columns.?

Filters only work on fields that are restricted to a fixed number of constant, unchangeable values. In computer-speak, these are .

?

As an example, in the Member List, a filter works fine on a status badge or the message delivery setting because these are pre-defined. Email address, Display Name and Join Date are not, thus there is no way to filter on those.

?

Having said that:

- It should be possible to create a plain-text column of type enum and provide all the acceptable values at the time of definition.

- Whenever a row is created, a pick-list of those values would be displayed for that field and you'd be forced to choose from that.

- Thus populated, a corresponding filter could be displayed at the top of the database.

?

It would be especially nice to do something similar with Extra Member Data. I don't know how complicated the implementation would be, but that's Mark's problem.

?

If someone were to suggest this in beta, I'd support it.

?

Bruce

You can sort by column, so that should accomplish at least part of what you're looking for.? The only way to know if the developer (Mark) would be open to something is to make a #suggestion on the beta group where he'll see it.

Is this something others would be interested in as well? If so, would the developers be open to that?

I have no experience in how this would normally work so excuse me if this is not an appropriate question.?

Best, Winnie?

Thanks, Francis.

I noticed there is a built in way to email folks who answered a particular poll item so that is another workaround I could use.

Thanks again for the useful help.? Now I get to try to make a good summation for a future owner.? LOL

You can't add additional content to a poll. You can of course allow more than one answer.?

?

A workaround - as long as your group is set to reply to group (typical), once the poll has been answered, you can also click on reply to create another post to add more information. ?It will be in a new post, although it is part of the thread.

Is there any way I can get a user to include a comment with a poll - in addition to just checking off their choices - give more information

I was thinking of sending the poll in an email and have the comment being included in the reply to the email? in addition to answering the poll but not sure it would work. Has any one tried to do this?

Thanks!

As with the Size column header, if you click on Date it will invert the sort order, thus displaying oldest message first.

And Bruce I understand where the Message Policies are and I had set it to "Storage Limit Reached".

What should I change it to??

My bad. It used to be called "Out of Space," when you inquired about this 4 years ago. The name has been changed since then, for no apparent reason.

?

Anyway, "Storage Limit Reached" is a pull-down menu. Click on it, and select "Delete Old Attachments." Be sure to save your changes.

I would actually like to go in manually and clip out an entire year.?

There is no provision to select a date range. To achieve that, you will have to edit messages one by one.?

It is very handy to attach photos which we use a lot, to the whole group (it is 20 people) rather than me having to send out to all individually.? I don't want them too downsized or they are not easily printable.

I very much appreciate the help given as I am finding the Owner's manual both a little obtuse and often incorrect in procedure.?

The user interface was updated several months ago and the manuals have fallen behind. I'm told they are being worked on, and I sure hope so.?

?

Bruce

Thank you Hamish and Bruce.

? I found the Attachment's list (not sure how I overlooked before when I was on that page)

?One group of messages (page) with attachments can be shown at a time.? As soon as one is chosen and deleted?everything defaults back to the very top of the list basically.? Is there no way to work from earliest to latest so one could at least make a routine of going through one at a time???

?

And Bruce I understand where the Message Policies are and I had set it to "Storage Limit Reached".

What should I change it to?? I did not see anything that was more appropriate in the available options. I would actually like to go in manually and clip out an entire year.? Anything worth saving that was listed in our message group has been saved already and put into our history. It is very handy to attach photos which we use a lot, to the whole group (it is 20 people) rather than me having to send out to all individually.? I don't want them too downsized or they are not easily printable.??

I very much appreciate the help given as I am finding the Owner's manual both a little obtuse and often incorrect in procedure.? Mostly I just have to add and subtract people infrequently.? Now I will need to be able to train someone else in procedure and I will need to write a careful list of precise directions for them so I may be here a lot for clarifications.? Thanks

Thank you - I will go check that out.

I have yet to receive a single spam via my lists I own since Rootswewb

It used to be that "banned by system" accounts could still send spam to the +owner address. That was changed 3 days ago.

I think this is unusual as it's hitting just owners. Might be trickier for him to eliminate.

Mark is always trying to keep spam out.? I've seen senders banned in a couple of hours.? Sometimes the spammers strike faster than he can ban them though.
