Iframes, PHP/java scripts and similar constructs can be used by spammers as a vector to spread malware. On that basis they are stripped from groups.io messages. Your best bet is to just provide a link; in this case, to?? ?Of course, it will be up to the recipient to click on it.

Hope this helps,

I believe iframe is one of the html keywords that is disabled/stripped, so you can't embed it.? The best you can do is furnish a link to the video.

Is there any way to eliminate the Feed button for my group? I'm trying to control who can download/ read messages and basically anyone can subscribe to the RSS feed and download my messages without being part of the group. I logged out and double checked if the Feed button was still there on my home page for someone who doesn't have a groups.io account and it is. It's a security issue for me.

Thanks for any help you can provide

for example, here is the embed code from vimeo

<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/273206092" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> <p><a href="https://vimeo.com/273206092">Shadow X, IMG_3270</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/user19534726">Slackwater_SF</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>

Im smart enough to figure out most things on here.
Although most of the time im on a "mobile" <achk> browser and you CANNOT always easily find EVERYTHING.
Getting dozens of emails daily about stuff I wasnt interested in was quite annoying.

Paul,

Is there some way to toggle the option on or off?? I couldn't locate one anywhere.? (Or maybe I am just having Moderator/User blindness!)

?Not yet, it is still in testing.

Actually, I'm not sure if the intent is to provide a toggle, or just have the feature be the normal Topic display when seen by moderators (those with the Edit Archive permission).

Re: Sending Invite

#10292

Don,

I customized the Invitation?message in my groups as follows prior to initiating?the actual transfer of the Yahoo groups to Groups.io:

?The fundamental concern is that you don't need to send an invitation to your Y!Group members, they will be copied into your group during the transfer (except those that are Bouncing) - unless you uncheck the box to transfer members.

The transfer process sends a system-supplied "You've been added" notice plus your group's Welcome member notice to all of the copied addresses. You can opt out of either or both of those, but I don't advise it. GMF's wiki page has some advice and examples of tailoring your group's Welcome notice for the transfer.

I am tempted to ask why. It is always worth keeping an eye on things that others are asking about, because sometimes there are topics that can be something that is of value to you.?

You can manage the email traffic by setting GMF to "No emails" and simply using web access from time to time.

The preview in the "Invitation To Be Sent" box is live - type into the "Customize Message" box and watch it update accordingly.

Tip: I like using horizontal lines at the top and bottom of my custom section to make it more distinct from the boilerplate. Draws the eyes to it. You'll find the horizontal line button on the Advanced toolbar, which you need to open with the button on the right of the normal toolbar.

Hello Shal, 

I went to the link provided and tried this feature and it looks to be going to be a really convenient option.  It's an obvious time-saver, but . . .

Is there some way to toggle the option on or off?  I couldn't locate one anywhere.  (Or maybe I am just having Moderator/User blindness!)

Don,

Since a customized message is included with each invite would it be
added after the boiler plate message where it says “Cheers, ...The preview in the "Invitation To Be Sent" box is live - type into the "Customize Message" box and watch it update accordingly.

I don’t know why I haven’t seen that before?! Since a customized message is included with each invite would it be added after the boiler plate message where it says “Cheers,

Re: bounced emails

#10283

Sandra,

?

I have now have about 45 emails that are bounced that were working fine on yahoo groups.?
The members can send a message to the group,...

Do you mean Bounced, as in a red B badge on their membership row? If so they shouldn't be able to post messages. Nor when Bouncing (blue B), I think.

So I wonder if they are posting from those same addresses.

The examples are marked as temporary errors (4xy) which normally would not place them on Bouncing status until the problem has continued for quite a while (four days, minimum).

but they do not receive messages from others or a copy of their own message when they post.

Groups.io stops trying to deliver messages to members with either Bouncing or Bounced status.

When I go to the members account and look at email delivery history this is what I see:
?...?
?

How do I fix this?

?I don't think you do.

"server not available" sounds like an error internal to that email service. Most likely members need to contact their email service to see what the problem is. It is possible that if you (or they) report the situation to [email protected] that Mark would look into it, and maybe contact their service to resolve it.
