Those with a real need to share print-quality images should be encouraged to upload their photos to cloud storage (Google Drive or some such) and send a link instead. Also, if I set it at strip attachments in emails will that just delete the attachment but let the post through?Exactly right. What I don't know is whether anything is added to the message body to notify anyone that it once contained an attachment and why it was removed. Probably not. Regards, Bruce |

Re: What is the best practice for Pending Subscription notices for a restricted group
#membershipapplication
#membernotices
Frances, thank you for the wiki page. However, I've been testing this today and I am seeing a slightly different sequence of events.
I have a restricted group and an active Pending Subscription notice. When someone applies for membership through the group home page, they receive both?the automatic confirmation and the Pendiing subscription notice. The receipt of those two messages occurs without the member or the moderator taking any action or responding to any message. I thought that the Pending Subscription notice is not sent until after the user confirms their email address. But that doesn't match what I'm seeing. For the purpose of these tests, I'm being both the prospective member and the moderator so that I can control the test. Jesse |

Unable to create subgroups
#subgroups
#askmembers
Created subgroups just last night.? Today created new group, with permissions to create subgroups limited to owner-moderators.
When I go to Create New Subgroup dialog, enter data, then click Create Subgroup, nothing happens. If I go to Management->Subgroups the banner says in red "You do not have permissions to access that page" If I go to Management->Subgroups a second time, it simply says "There are no subgroups". ? Did Subgroup creation suddenly break today?? Help. |

I have no solution, but if your group has less than 1000 members, can you not export the list of members to CVS and then send them all invites to your new group? You'll lose your archives and files, but you'll keep your members.

Re: Adding question to +join group
I've advocated for a good process to vet potential members before they join.
No action was taken - perhaps due to the vocal protests of a few who somehow saw it as a threat to non-Restricted groups?... Maybe after the 'great YahooGroups migration' is over, January 2020?, a successful pitch can be made in the beta group (Groups.io suggestion box). or This is the workaround that I use: /g/GroupManagersForum/message/20168 |

Screening new members

I tested this - it works for restricted groups. It doesn't work for "direct adds" or invites. |

Hi
I made a new Gmail account and tested this. Made some screenshots and updated the wiki page. It works! And the member can't jump the gun and get in early. See it. I do have a few more screenshots I didn't use, so let me know if it isn't clear.
