That's true. However, I didn't mean that she's a particularly sophisticated user. I was preemptively responding to anticipated comments about her being some dumb user who doesn't know how to check her

Re: every so often, get a member who absolutely for the life of them can't confirm
I would bet that at least 90% of the time the confirmation messages are being eaten by some spam filter along the way. Unfortunately there are a some spam filters that don't pass the email along to

The member swears up and down she's checked her spam file again and again. Yet Mark says the emails were "successfully delivered." So maybe you're right about the extra level. J

Re: every so often, get a member who absolutely for the life of them can't confirm
I believe that some/many internet service providers provide another unseen level of spam filtering -- messages that are rejected by the ISP's computers and never even make into our spam boxes. So, if

Sharon, Cataloging them in GMF's Wiki would probably be helpful as well. I know many of them have been reported from various people's experiments over time, but having them all in one place might make

J, The last one I've received, back in February, was: Subject: Confirm Your Groups.io Account From: "Groups.io" <[email protected]> This was a test case where I was joining through the web interface.

Re: every so often, get a member who absolutely for the life of them can't confirm
Three days and five re-sent confirmation emails later, the member still can't get in. She is intelligent. She's checked spam, she's checked her email forwarding, she's checked lower down in her

Also: What is the sequence of events when a member is approved but hasn't yet confirmed? Do they receive the welcome message immediately after approval, or do they receive it only after they confirm?

About once a month we get a new member who can't figure out how to confirm. Can't find the email, has no idea what I'm talking about when I contact them, I'm re-sending and re-sending the confirmation

Re: what gets logged for an approved but NC member who tries to post?
J, I believe that would be "Message from not confirmed sub". Buried in the list of "Message from" selections in the Actions drop-list. Which reminds me of your complaint they are not alphabetized.
