Re: Down for Maintenance Notice
Duane, ? What a regional time perspective that would be. My group is world-wide. 5am PST is 8am EST is 1pm in Europe. ? I don¡¯t do anything group-posting-wise online and very few of my members do. If they did they¡¯d be on FB. I had two of my late night Emails just disappear last night and now I guess I understand why. Luckily they were important-ish so this morning when I didn¡¯t see them I re-posted. Many of my members would be nonplussed for that to happen and be asking me ¡°How Cum??¡±.
IO is much more stable than YahooGroups and I thought he was much more sensitive to his customers than YahooGroups but his going on vacation without a clear ¡°I¡¯ll be back by this date and caught up to the backlog my vacation created by this date¡± message and now scheduled maintenance without informing at least all the owners says he¡¯s not as sensitive as I thought. I¡¯ll just need to adjust my expectations of him. Both of these events were basic A-B-C management skills. But then he appears to be a very talented software programmer, not a manager. Being a sole-ownership I hope that doesn¡¯t bite me in the longer term. ? Paul ?

I wouldn't want an email about it.? I do everything online and was well aware of this downtime.? I don't want more unnecessary email, so I'd want a way to disable it.
I suspect that part of it is the fact that it happened at 5 am PDT, so there may not have been an expectation that many people would notice.

I was on a Chinese conference call early this am, never saw the notice until members started emailing me wanting to know if we had been hacked (piks of cats)

Subject: [GMF] Bouncing of email subscription and message approval messages ? Hi
as the owner of several user groups, that I maintain using email, is is quite annoying
to get bounced email just because a user or message was already approved.
When you have multiple owners or admins, it is quite possible that one of
them already approved a message or user request, without the other?
owners or admins knowledge.
How about just accepting the email and killing it instead of bouncing it.

Indeed so; I was hinting to Steve that he might like to consider that approach, given that he raised the point to start with. Chris

Re: DISABLING THE MUTING OF THREADS
Yes, that was my hope, too! ? I take your other point but would still like to be able to do it, anyway!? This is a very small group set up for discussion of a specific subject matter and, therefore, allowing people to opt out of individual topics is inappropriate to the business of the group. ? It¡¯s a shame that this isn¡¯t a configurable item at list owner level. ? Richard ? ?

To my knowledge this is not possible; but if you don't tell anyone what this feature means, few people will bother to look into it on their own initiative.

Re: DISABLING THE MUTING OF THREADS
Hi, Frances
Thanks for the tip on nomail - I spotted that one! ?
It was being able to stop individual's opting out of a thread that I was wanting to do rather than muting it for all.
Thanks

It does not affect delivery to other members nor does it stop the appearance of the topic or posts on the group site. It allows members to manage the flow of email to their inbox. I do suggest you disallow ¡°no mail¡± as an option, if you haven¡¯t already done so. I have also set groups I started to the options that send only the first email in a thread and then allow members to opt into (¡°follow¡±) a topic. Frances

Re: Down for Maintenance Notice
I¡¯m confused (not unusual at my age).? ? Is there a Beta (as in pre-production testing) System or was this outage on the production system?? If the latter, why was the outage notice posted in a Beta Group and not sent to this group (maybe even as a special notice)?? ? If this outage only affected a Beta system (and not the released production system) I¡¯m not sure what all the hoopla is about as Beta systems by definition are pre-production and exist for testing and bug fixing so it should not be surprising that they are more volatile than production.? ? So, what am I missing here? ? Dan ?

Re: Down for Maintenance Notice
Unfortunately, Page banners don't get to email only members. While I didn't bother to inform my menbers (because, after yahoo's weeks and months of issues, a couple hours' outage is a blip)? I think a global email or notice to all moderators & owners would have been a good idea. -- Bob Bellizzi

In addition to the other replies, there was a notice at the top of every page early this morning that the downtime was coming up.
Indeed there was, but from a poll on "my" Group it is only a minority of users who use the web interface "regularly"; the majority (78%) never use the web interface or only do so "occasionally". If this is typical across all groups then the greater majority would have had no warning of the break in service. In some respects it becomes a case of leading the horse to water but being unable to force it to drink... Chris

Re: Down for Maintenance Notice
I didn¡¯t even know there was a site closure for maintenance, let alone a notice it was going to be done. I have experienced a couple site closures in the past (which is to be expected from time to time), but it didn¡¯t really bother me because I had other things I could do. The good thing is Groups.io is not buggy like YG was/is, which was much more frustrating to me, and the reason I moved our group. ? Don FOGgers Owner and Moderator
