Hi, everyone, ? is it not possible to have an every two weeks recurrence in the calender? ? Shal, thanks for that hint about being able to send important information by way of the calender function. It?s really a nice option. ? Victoria

Not sure why this is addressed to me. Fair point. It is really addressed to anyone interested in the topic.
Mark investigated everything he possibly could and was unable to
determine the problem. So I¡¯m not sure what you¡¯re trying to say? I'm saying that if the message appears in the pending member's Email Delivery History one needn't bother Mark - you know what happened to the notice, one way or the other.
The only thing you don't know is why the would-be member can't find it. And that is unknowable, even by Mark, without the ability to inspect the server logs of the would-be member's email service (or his/her mind).

Shal, Not sure why this is addressed to me. In the cases in my group where the notice went into a black hole, the message was not in the members¡¯ spam folders, Mark investigated everything he possibly could and was unable to determine the problem. So I¡¯m not sure what you¡¯re trying to say?

J,
I wrote:

something to say about the fate of the Pending notification.
But I'm not seeing anything shown as "Most Recent Successful
Delivery" even though my test address did receive the Pending
notice.
Actually, It just took a while:

I'm not sure how long it took for the Email Delivery History page to
be updated to show the message,? but sometime in the last 24-hours.
So in this case I know that the Pending Subscription notification
was delivered, and so could confidently tell the would-be member to
look in their Spam, Trash, or wherever.

Sarah, I just set a new group and noticed when I reply to a post it sends it
twice. Once from my email address and once through the group. That looks somewhat like your group's Reply To option is set to "Group and Sender". It is in the Message Policies section of your group's Settings page. The other possibility is that your Gmail account's Default reply behavior is set to "Reply All". That is on the General tab of Gmail settings. Shal -- Help: /static/helpMore Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wikiEven More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list

Re: Was my invitation accepted?
Al, I've completed steps 0-2 of the Yahoo transfer 3 days ago. Including using the green Start New Transfer button and the filling in the form? That's the backup in case the invitation isn't received. I haven't seen any new member from groups.io attempt to join my Yahoo
group. In my recent transfer of some groups the transfer agent joined the groups relatively promptly, within hours or a day. But the procedure has changed (again) since then - when I didn't one didn't send an invite, just filled in the form. Was my invitation received ...? Note that GMF is a user-to-user group - none of us have that kind of inside information. You'll know when the new member appears. If you have your Y!Group set to send you notices of new members that will help. The good news is that Mark has been working down the backlog, my most recent transfers took between three and five days.

Re: Was my invitation accepted?
When an invitation is accepted they become members, you won't see any "attempt" (pending member request).? ?So... check your member list, it might have already been accepted... and you can proceed with the rest of the transfer steps :)

Have you looked at files in other groups? I can make you a mod or owner at shalstest to see if the files there look different. Maybe we can tease out whether the issue is related to your account versus your group.

Thank you - that would be useful. I really appreciate your help with this problem.
Yesterday I created a test group and uploaded a small file - still only saw the pencil and the scissors and no trash can or flag.

Re: New Member message when joining a group
It doesn¡¯t matter which email you use if you¡¯re logged into because yes, it will read that cookie. You could log out first and try it. I¡¯m not sure I understood your second steps in any case.
That said, whatever the general problem consists of, it is not reproducible and happens at seemingly random times. So trying to test the ways you did will generally be useless anyway. Been there, done that.

there is some sort of problem with the database matching the domain part of of the

I'll do this again carefully and take notes soon as I can. There is thunder rumbling and I'm

Re: Contacting the Owner/Moderators OFF group - I'm Not Finding This ...
Ken & Jim,
Ken said:
At the bottom of the Digest 'Frame", there are four 'active buttons:
Home Subscription Messages New Topic
Just above the blue Groups.io banner
Jim replied:
These are the options on my digests ...
View/Reply Online (4) | Reply To Group? | Reply To Sender? | Mute This Topic | Top ^ | New Topic
___
Like Jim, I do not have the Home/Subscription/Messages/New Topic options at the very bottom of my Digest messages.? I do have the links Jim referenced below each message in the digest.? But at the very bottom of the Digest I have only a link to the Group address with reference to unsubscribing, and it appears below (not above) the blue Groups.io banner. There no word "Home" to indicate that this is the Group Home links.? I read my gmail messages in Windows Live Mail on my desktop, or on my iPhone or iPad, and this is the format on all my devices.
I have previously suggested that a Group Home link (and the other links available at the bottom of Individual message format) be made available in the Digest message format.? I've suggested this both on GMF and Beta groups.? (sorry I don't have a message # to reference.)? I have not pushed the issue, as I felt Mark has enough to deal with currently getting new groups transferred.? But I find it interesting that you have a the Home/Subscription/Messages/New Topics options that do not appear for Jim and I.

J,
I am looking at the test email message I get, not the web archive. Thanks for this pointer and making me aware of what I need to do for a response. I always like to respond with the prior post in the message, and so it appears the signature capability would be of no value to me.
