Re: Is there a way to re-send a poll

 

Thank you for your response. I was trying to figure out how to copy a link to the message and I couldn¡¯t figure that out. Any tips for that? Thanks again.

Re: I can't filter the membership list to see all moderators

 

Depending on the order in which I have done things sometimes the Apply button is off the page and I have to scroll down to see it. That is I have to scroll the page, not the drop down list of filters. I haven't figured out exactly what set of actions cause this, but it happens from time to time. Could that be happening in your case?

If you can see the member list and the filter options then then the Apply button for should be visible. I've tested each moderator permission that states it gives access to the member list and I always see the Apply button on the Filter page.? Have you tried a forced refresh on your browse? Typically Ctrl + F5 does that.

Re: Technical new member question

 

My question is specifically related to approval of a new member who is not yet confirmed by groups.io or admitted to membership in a specific group with admission criteria.? Good to hear that accessing ongoing messages might not require a change in settings.

FWIW, I use iCloud private relay on my iPad and I've never had trouble getting an email through.

Re: Technical new member question

 

Check that. Seems I only notice when I¡¯m out and about when I¡¯ve got bad connection, and iOS warns inability to use private relay. So, private relay is on automatically and must be manually disabled in settings (Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Private Relay)

Re: link to subscribe

 

Hi, Leah,

I would just try going to the "join" URL for your current group name and seeing if it works.

A slight complication: If you are already a member of the group your login cookie might be stored. In this case, if you go to the join link, it flashes up on the screen and then disappears. So try it from an incognito (anonymous) browser window. All you have to look for is whether the window with the text field comes up.
?
I hope this helps!

-P.

Re: link to subscribe

 

Hi Lea,
You can find the group|s URL by opening (while in your group as owner)
Admin/Preferences/Promote
There in the top right hand corner you see the box

Invite your friends

And at the bottom of that box you see the URL of the group. I assume if you add
/join
You have the URL for joining the group.
Kind regards

Thomas

Hi, Leah,?

The URL is already there, at "/g/GROUPNAME/join", where GROUPNAME is your group name.

If this isn't what you were trying to ask, please clarify.

Re: link to subscribe

 

Thanks,?Duane. Clearly, the display name has to be optional.

In my situation, the group I want to use this for is a pure announcement group, so only moderators (in this case, only I, as the owner) can post. So the system will not accept postings from vanilla members.

Small caveat: if a member responds to one of my postings, the response goes only to me and my return response to the member goes only to the member. But then does process the email in this manner. So possibly, an empty display name would be populated by such a member response. However, it's rare that I get such responses.?

Not always.?
?
If someone is already logged in to groups. io, the /join URL redirects to the group home page, at which point they will have to click the "Join This Group" button (or "Apply for Membership," if the group is Restricted).
?
The reason? The entire purpose of the /join page is to prompt for an email address. If you're logged in then the system knows your email address and does not need you to enter it again.

Re: link to subscribe

 

For me, the whole point?of using a link like this is that the owner doesn't have to do anything. The owner doesn't have have to send out an invitation or even do a direct add. So, for?me, the?facility would be more useful if the person who clicks the link could add a display name as part of the process.?

You can make this available in any website or email by simply creating a clickable link to that URL. On clicking the link the?user will be taken to a page that allows entry of an email address.

For example, anyone could insert such a link on the home-page description for their group. An example can be found on the home page for this group.

I do have a problem with this facility, though. You can enter an email address but there are no fields to add a screen name or first and last name. The text field does not accept a line of the form "Foo Bar <foo@...>" (without quotes, of course).

I will submit an RFE for this to the beta group.

mailto-links are widely considered bad practice. They only work when the person is on his/her own computer, and even if they are it may activate an email-program that they are not even using.
