Re: Editing the homepage of a Group
Thanks so much!!!? Took a little experimentation but was able to figure out how to get into the Settings... much appreciated!!!
Jerry, do you mean apart from Admin, Settings? That¡¯s where you edit your group description and use the tab to go to update your group photo.
?
Some content stays - the Group Settings shows for each of my groups. And of course, they aren¡¯t all the same.

Frances, I *think* this is a change in behaviour. If a moderated group member
sends a message without the prefix, it looks clickable in my
email when I reply to Groups.io to moderate the message, When looking at the "Message approval needed" are you looking at the body of the notice, which includes a plain-text rendition of the message, or at the full message attachment that follows (in some interfaces you can see the attachment inline). If you're looking at the plain-text in the notice that would explain why you see both links as "linkified" - that was done by your email interface. but it becomes unclickable on the group site. And depending on your
email settings, it isn¡¯t clickable in the emailed message too. If the message was HTML formatted then whether it appears as clickable or not would be up to the sender's email interface. Some auto-linkify URLs, some don't, and those that do may have limits on the syntax they recognize - it might not recognize URLs that lack the protocol (http:) part. Only if the message were plain text would it be up to Groups.io to decide whether to linkify the URLs when displayed in the group's Messages.

Re: Editing the homepage of a Group
"Settings" brings that up immediately, and you can edit it.

Re: Questionnaire at what subscription step?
Include it in your Pending Subscription notice. It will go out automatically and you can wait until you get it back to approve them.

Paul,
I just finished a 2 Hour tech session with Norton Support. They
uninstalled Chrome and reinstalled, ditto for Norton Security. It strikes me as odd that they would turn to re-installation as a possible cure for this symptom. Unless they found that there were other problems.
They could not tell or show me how to white list the groups. That seems even odder. But like I said, I don't use Symantec/Norton so I really don't have any specific advice for it. Were it me I'd take a cue from their tech support and uninstall Norton. Then turn on Windows Defender or some other product appropriate to my OS.

Re: Default Group Settings
w0mu, Default settings do not allow for people to post, ...
I can't find where you can change the Advanced settings or default
group settings. o In the left column click Admin if necessary to show the Admin buttons o In the left column click Settings o Scroll down to the Spam Control section o Uncheck Moderated Note: one of the options in that section must be checked. So... o Check New Users Moderated o Under Unmoderate After select 1 (or a number you prefer) o Scroll to the bottom of the page o Click the blue "Update Group" button If you don't want to have to approve new members then I recommend "New Users Moderated". When you check that box an Unmoderate After box opens up. Select a number that seems reasonable to you. If you leave it Not Enabled then you'll still be in the position of needing to manually change members' Posting Privileges. With this setup the default group message moderation policy is unmoderated, but new members start off with the "Override: new user moderated" posting privilege. After you approve 1 (or the number you chose) of messages from that member that member will be automatically changed to "Default group policy", that is: unmoderated. ... so I have to pick over ride moderation even though we don't
moderate posts. I recommend that you go back and switch the members you've set to "Override: not moderated" back to "Default group policy". Having changed the group policy (as above) their messages will remain unmoderated.

Ok, I'm back to my original question about searching the wiki - and yes, everything else is back in order. Even though I was not impacted with the bogus errors, I have still logged out, closed and cleared the cache et al, and run system maintenance on the drive. I use Firefox, but also tried in Edge.
The Groups.io Status page shows it as "operational" but -
Crazy as it sounds, Search seems to be stuck on "A". Search a term beginning with "a" and yes, it works. Move to "b" - nada and right on down the alphabet.
Can anyone get this to repeat (I hope)?

Re: Can't get to my group site
Hi Shal,
Thanks for the info. Some of my Group members are able to access but those using Norton, including yours truly, are still blocked. I just finished a 2 Hour tech session with Norton Support. They uninstalled Chrome and reinstalled, ditto for Norton Security. They could not tell or show me how to white list the groups. Norton won't let you go to the groups at all, Firefox will but every time you change screens, Norton throws up blocks. They are supposed to get back to me, I'm not holding my breath.

Sat 2/24 10am:? We were also encountering an issue whereby every message had to be approved (not the group setting - it's unmoderated posts). Logging out, clearing cache et al and logging back in *looks* to have rectified that.
Wiki Search is still not working. Is anyone else experiencing this (I hope, and you know what I mean)?

Re: Default Group Settings
Whoops! Sorry, J. You must have one of the options set on this screen, right? And that¡¯s where you check. Frances On Feb 24, 2018, at 2:06 AM, J_Catlady <j.olivia.catlady@...> wrote:

Hi Steve,
I'm using Norton and it is still blocking access. In Chrome,
clicking on the "Continue to Website" doesn't work and in Firefox it
continues to the site but everytime you make an entry it takes you back
to the block and you have to click continue again. I've been on Norton
Support for about 2 hours and they have not been able to explain, fix or
white list Groups.io. The Technician just asked if she could get back to me, she is going to raise this to a higher support level.
Many of you have posted to their site to get it fixed, so they are aware that it is not acceptable to block a complete site because of one area. I don't think they understood what this is all about.

And depending on your email settings, it isn¡¯t clickable in the emailed message too. (I use Apple Mail.)
When I received the group member¡¯s email for approval, I checked all the links from my email, and the links definitely were clickable! (My email program deals with it.)
See attached test. What you see is one that is clickable because I put in the prefix. One that isn¡¯t - just www.google.ca

I think your theory is correct, Duane.? I'm one of those list owners who set up groups but did not move my members over until Yahoo started tanking last month.? I kept holding out for a miracle with YahooGroups but when the features on the website were no longer reliable, I knew it was time to do the transfer. --Paula
