Re: Member Missing Emails
Chris, One of the members on the Group I moderate has reported that email deliveries to him stopped earlier today. His delivery option is "Individual Emails", and a check of his email delivery history shows no bounces, and that messages are being successfully sent and delivered.? (i.e. 2.0.0. applies) Did he check his Spam / Junk folder? Messages diverted to Spam are considered successfully delivered as far as the email protocols are concerned. Sometimes too an email service will delay the delivery of messages it thinks are suspicious. They can do this either by giving them a temporary rejection (4.x.x response code) or by accepting the message and holding onto it internally. He has reported that email deliveries from other Groups.io groups are working normally, and that his ISP's? (Videotron) response is "nothing to do with us mate" or words to that effect. Yeah, "that's what they all say". If the messages are being delayed they may not see that as a problem. "Normal" emails to him work all right, although I haven't tried emailing him via Groups.io yet; that's next on the list. That kind of selectivity feels like anti-spam processing to me. Normal mail processing is agnostic as to the source of the message, and is completely oblivious to the message content (apart from size limits or things like that).

Re: Question re Subgroup membership

Is there a way of allowing subgroup members to choose No Emails in the Main Group when that option is not available to general main group membersThere is no Override setting available to group owners to fine-tune email delivery as there is for Posting Privileges. As Duane stated, you would have to enable No Email for all of the main group members and then find some way to police email delivery on a subscriber-by-subscriber basis; with the understanding that the individual can subvert this at any time by clicking on the Subscription button and changing their own settings.? Unless there is some compelling member management benefit that I don't understand yet, I feel you will be better served by keeping the groups separate.?

I have settings set to "moderate all".It is possible to allow messages posted to the group by select individuals to be unmoderated, despite the group settings. Open the members list (Admin>Members), find and click open the desired subscriber record. Scroll all the way down to "Posting Privileges" and click the "Override: Not Moderated" radio button. Then click Save at the bottom. Having done this, that subscriber will now display a blue "P" (Can Post) badge in the members list. Repeat for anyone else you want to give this privilege to.

Re: Question re Subgroup membership
Members can make email settings for each group and subgroup, so you could do what you want to a point.? On groups with No Email disabled, they could set it to Special Notices, but it would be up to you and other owners to minimize those.? You could set up some defaults to try to do what you want for new members, but it won't effect existing members.? For existing members, you or they would need to make the changes.

If you are using a web form to collect information you can post an email from the subscriber's address to the group subscription address. Here is a script that I have tested and does work: /* <?php

if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))? {
? $from = $_REQUEST['email'];
? mail("[email protected]", "New subscription", "subscribe", "From: " . $from );

*/ The subscriber will still have to separately respond to a confirmation email, to be sure they can receive groups.io messages. Something similar could be done when they unsubscribe. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: Cancel Yahoo Transter
Richard,
But, I don't know how to cancel the previously requestedYou may not need to cancel it, if you hadn't yet given the final Go-Ahead for the transfer. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Step-4-E28094-Give-the-Go-Ahead-for-the-Transfer If you have already done that I imagine that the transfer agent may well contact you before proceeding, once it is again possible to proceed.

Re: Cancel Yahoo Transter
Hmm, not having the transfer page available does present a problem there.? Your best bet would be to contact support.? Your transfer may not get done anyway, but better to be safe.

Re: Account Info
#bouncedemails
Wes,
My question is, is there a way to delete years old mails ECT from theIf you're a group member, and you're talking about postings in the group's Messages section on the web, no. That's not a personal inbox, it is an archive shared by all the group members. Technically you can delete your own messages from the group archive, and a group moderator can delete any message, but normally they are kept indefinitely, for reference by current and future members. On the other hand, if you're receiving group postings via email, you can certainly delete those any time you like. The method would depend on your email interface.

Re: Finding the Mute and Follow controls on mobile
Frances,
- You must get the full list of all topics for all of your groups. YouThis is the same as on computer: the buttons for Follow and Mute only appear on topics when you open them from the combined lists on the Groups.io home page, not when you open them from the Messages section of a specific group. (Unless you use Toby's hack to make the topic display think it came from the all-groups listing). Why it is that way I'm not sure, other than I suspect some group managers thought that the buttons would be too confusing for their members. I think I would have put the function in the More menu instead of a buttons at the top, but I think the all-groups pages were done before there was a More menu in the bar under each message. - You must open the topic of interest from this full list of all postsI'm not sure if this is saying the same thing as before, or if you're making a distinction that I'm not getting. This is different from on a computer where you get a left hand columnOn mobile (actually it is when the display is narrow, regardless of device type) the left bar moves down to the bottom. There's only room for a couple of buttons so a couple are displayed and the rest go into a "More" menu (three bars, the so-called "hamburger" icon). Do you think it works the same for Androids?The screenshots I posted were from Android. In particular the chrome-lite browser built into the Gmail app. i just tested with an iPad and it works like a computer, no matterI believe it is all based on how wide Groups.io's code thinks the screen is. If you open the site on a computer and shrink the browser window it starts reformatting itself and eventually appears just like it does on a smartphone in vertical orientation. So, I'd have to guess that the code judges your iPad's screen to be "wide enough" for the computer layout, regardless of orientation.
