Do you have a Basic or a "paid for" Group? I suspect that you have reached your storage limit. If you look in your Files & Photos sections you will find figures showing how much of your allowance you have used up. Chris

Re: Applicant's Application is Missing
Hi Shal,
Thanks for replying. I checked the activity log and the only activities are the application and now, where I added them to the group. After what you just sent, I'm leaning more towards them deleting the Spam Folder
I send an email to new members that explains the group and I asked this member about emptying the spam folder. I've not heard back, I'll post if they do answer.

Applicant's Application is Missing
Hi All,
This is for a premium group. We require a new applicant to supply some information before approving membership. The application was July 18th and I got the requested information today, July 22. When I went to approve the membership, the application was not there so I went looking & found it in the Past Member list as having Left. I checked the applicant's history and the only activity is "applied for membership via web." I've not received a notification of them leaving.
I wonder if this applicant emptied their Spam folder with the application reply notice in the Spam folder? If so, why doesn't that show in the History & why didn't I get a notification? Their ISP is MSN.
As I write this, it is beginning to sound more like a bug yet I'm not sure how to test. I'll add the member but would like to hear what you think about this.
TIA,
Paul, Ohio, USA

Re: Photo Renamed and Resized Incorrectly
Shal,
Thanks for the feedback.
I think I am going to give up for now as there isn't much point in harassing Support if I can't reproduce it. Against my better judgment, I did unleash IE11 on my computer, and tried adding a Picture and adding an Attachment and both worked fine with no issues.
My somewhat terse comment "The group does not resize photos" meant that both "Max Size in Photos Section" and "Max size in emails" is set to "No resizing". For what it's worth, same "No Resizing" for databases and wiki. The group is also only up to 200 MB for files, photos and attachments.

That's an odd one. Maybe something for [email protected], or maybe it is
an IE bug. The renaming seems like some kind of default name, as if
something couldn't handle the long file name. I'd nominate IE for that
kind of bug. Especially since you couldn't reproduce it.

For embedded photos (such as via Add Pictures on the group's pages) my
understanding is that there's an automatic resizing to 640 x 640 max;
the group setting "Max Size in Email", if larger than that, is only
applied to attached image files.

Re: Photo Renamed and Resized Incorrectly
I maintain several web sites, all of which have photos displayed.? I have learned that any photo taken by an iPhone or iPad will display sideways no matter what I try to do with the display measurements.? The solution I have used is to open the picture in a photo application (I use paint.net, which is a free app), then save it in it's correct orientation.? Once it has been saved on my computer, it will display properly on the web.
I don't know if this is what's going on here, but the picture is so elongated, I thought that might be the case.

Dan's comment sparked another idea. ?Since the "system" knows what groups are being joined, why not have one message include all the groups/subgroups being joined. ?And if Dan's idea of a checkbox for with/without msg was included, then the owner could "control" what the message contained.
Peace,

Thank you in advance for any help.
Is there a way for new applicants to my group to provide some information about themselves upon applying?
For example, my group is all veterinary licensed and we require license details to join the group.
As it stands - potential members apply and then I have to email them requesting these details. I lose a bunch of applicants - as they simply don't respond.
I'd like to be able to have them submit these details upon applying - as they are obviously engaged at that point.
Any insight, tips etc. is appreciated..
Jean,
I don?t know if this could be applicable for your group:
I also own a group dealing with veterinary issues. Since I do not want to have food sellers or alternative practioneers in our group (and also because sometimes help must be organised nearby a person?s place of residence), I request personal data before subscribing. I send out a pending subscription notice via member notice containing a questionnaire. Instead of having the questionnaire returned to the owner-address, I request to have it sent back to me personally. For this purpose I link up my mail-address under the questionnaire. In this manner personal data do not run over the group.io server and only me as owner or - in case of my absence - a co-owner receives these data. In compliance with GDPR I add a short commentary to this effect.
So far the pending subscription notice containing the questionnaire was always sent out instantly after application and was returned correctly.? This is
a practice I have been excercising in my yahoo group for 12 years. Applicants who dont want to provide their personal data just dont reply. These cases are quite rare though.
