I'm pretty sure that feature is unavailable to groups on the Basic plan. See??

This PNG is what Windows 10 Mail uses as a reply separator. Groups.io subsequently converts the embedded image into an attachment. I believe if you check her emails carefully, you'll find that if she posts a new topic, there is no such image showing up, only replies. But what often happens is that other subscribers will reply to her reply, and the PNG lands in the Emailed Photos Album all over again, spreading the disease.

Addressing this issue does appear in the groups.io "to do" list at?, but it does not appear to have a very high priority. Multiple remedies have also been proposed for this problem in beta, but none of them have been implemented.?

You can delete attachments by selecting "Edit Message" from the More menu. Check the Delete box next to the offending image and the blue "Save Without Sending" button. A notice will still be sent to the person who posted telling them that you edited their message, but at least you won't be bothering the entire group with it.

Another option is to approach the person doing this and beg them to use a different email client. I haven't found that approach to be very effective, though.

PNG file questions

#14075

Hi ,

I am trying to figure out an issue with a member's emails.

Whenever She posts a png file ends up in our emailed photo album, but there's no photo, it's just a blacked out spot with a line thru it.

When She posted a message today, without a photo this is what showed up in the album for emailed photos:

E3C3AA6DAAC74F14AF34F38C0CADFD4D.png

By Char Wilson
Uploaded: 1:00pm
Size: 292B

BUT there was no photo sent.
No graphic of any sort in her email, no 'stationary' used to send the email.

Mz. Wilson uses gmail to send emails.? Could that have something to do with this mystery?

I'd really love any advice and or help.? In under 2 weeks we've already gotten over 30 blank photos like this and it concerns me very much.

Thank you.

Map view option for database tables

#14074

开云体育

Hi,

?

I found the example database table in beta for local food establishments and like the way it links to Google Maps. ?I’ve exported that and created an identical table in my test group (on a free plan at present) but do not see the option to switch between map and list views.? I’ve found messages on beta which suggest that this functionality has been around for a while so I’m wondering why I don’t see it. I have some questions therefore:

?

1 – is this functionality still just in beta (and if so when is likely to be generally available)?

2 - is this functionality restricted to subscription plans?

3 – the column names in the beta table for address values are all prefixed with ‘Address:’.? Is this a requirement to determine address fields that link to a Google search?

4 – Are the US address fields names (such as City, State & Zip) mandatory or could they be UK equivalents (Town, County & Postcode)?

?

Thanks,

Andy

Re: Moderate subgroup only?

#14073

Andy,

What I’d like to do is have a member of a primary group have moderator
privileges to subgroup without being able to moderate the primary
group also.  Is that possible and if so, how is it done?Yes.

From within the subgroup's Members list you can change a member's role to Moderator.

While moderators and owners of the primary group automatically have that role in all subgroups, the reverse is not true.

Moderate subgroup only?

Hi,

?

I’ve looked through lots of messages on GMF and beta about subgroups and permissions and I still unsure.? What I’d like to do is have a member of a primary group have moderator privileges to subgroup without being able to moderate the primary group also. ?Is that possible and if so, how is it done?

Re: @user name query

#14071

Short answer:? At this point, the sitewide username serves no purpose whatsoever.

Long answer:? See?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/25677383?

@user name query

#14070

开云体育

Hi,

?

If an email address is the username by which someone signs in to groups.io then what is the purpose of the ‘@user name’ field that can be set on the account identity page?? I can’t see any reference to it in the static help or in the messages or Wiki on the GMF.

?

Thanks,

Andy

Re: Where do Emails sent to the Group Help email go?

Putting my geezerhood on display:? Back in the days when the was more prevalent, it was widely understood that sending an empty message to the list help address would return an automated message summarizing available email commands. After all, that's the only interface that was available...the web did not exist.

If I'm not mistaken, emails to the group help address in Yahoo Groups perform similarly, and I believe Mark is trying to provide identical functionality via groups.io. If today's subscribers find this to be confusing perhaps the simplest thing to do is to eliminate it.?

Re: Where do Emails sent to the Group Help email go?

#14068

Hmm, sounds to me that the address / label is wrong. Perhaps should be About.

I would have thought that the moderator, or group owner would be notified.?

I would be annoyed if I painstakingly wrote an email about a problem and that’s all I got in response. ?Perhaps it should include a suggestion to copy, paste and send the email to the group owner or to the group. Or a suggestion to try the Help or GMF wiki.?

Perhaps the the email address was simply a placeholder when developed a few years ago.?

Re: Where do Emails sent to the Group Help email go?

#14067

Paul,

Re: [GMF] Where do Emails sent to the Group Help email go?They don't really "go" anywhere, in the sense of a place where you might access them. They are apparently not even logged in the group's Activity log.

What they do is trigger an automated reply giving information about the group, including the Group Description and Email Commands.

... a group member wrote to the group wondering why her email request
for help was not answered.If she didn't see the automated response it may have gone to her spam folder. The response is:

From: Groups.io <[email protected]>
Subject: Automated help for the [email protected] groupWhere that would be the group name in question, rather than GMF, in the subject.
