It doesn't.? EDT is four hours difference from Greenwich Mean Time, so it lists your time zone as "GMT minus 4".? GMT is the same timezone as UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) and examples of offsets from UTC are given here: with details on UTC-4:00 here: Best, Glenn

Re: Disable Members from reading Messages from Homepage
Well what I did was I made them unavailable for non subscribers. So that is a good thing.
?
Then I went to each message and locked them. This way no one could request a tag from the archives.
They all need to be requested from their email that they receive.
If I wanted this to be a message board - I would reopen my proboards forum LOL
?
But thanks, I will make it a suggestion. It would be a good idea to have something where only the Mods and Owners could have access to.

You can change the number of items you see per page.? Go to your Account, select Preferences, and change the Items Per Page setting.? Most of the time I use 50.? Infinite Scroll doesn't work on some items, like databases, but not sure if it works on Poll results.? If not, you may want to use 100.

I'm afraid it's a bug. Only 20 respondents appear per page. There were two? respondents on a second page, which is why there is a total of 22 on the see results page vs 20 on the see who responded . The bug is a different one, though. When you want to reply to those 8 who voted for answer #1, you will only reply to the 6 who are on the first page. You have to go to the second page to send an email to those responders separately. I have 150 members.

Is anyone else having difficulty opening an excel file on their iPhone? I've got a multi tabbed XLSX file saved into our groups Files section and while I can open it up and view the tab headers, I can't see the actual contents of the tabs. Other users in my group are experiencing the same thing.

Disable Members from reading Messages from Homepage
I just opened up an IO Group. My members are used to Yahoo groups, In Yahoo I had the archives or conversations unavailable to members. I'd like to do the same thing for IO Groups as some members are responding to the messages from the homepage and requesting signature tags from closed offers. I need that information to be only available for Owners and Moderators. What do I need to do in order for that to happen. Ilene?

I created a poll yesterday, and I find my results look different depending on how I look at it.
If I look at the 'see?Results', the total of the votes overall show as 22 (with 8 for the first answer, and 3 for the third answer). But when I look at the poll results using "see who responded", I the votes only total 20 votes (with 7 for the first answer and 2 for the third). I know that I personally changed my vote from the third answer to the first answer. So the 'see who responded' column seems to reflect that change. But the 'see results' total, which shows the tally by %, seems to show my first vote, and my second vote.
I am afraid this vote can be rigged!
Is that a bug?

Re: Hotmail post from owner rejected

Hotmail post from owner rejected
Hello,
?
I'm a relatively new Groups.io user who has been running an announcement-type list for a couple of months now, after abandoning Yahoogroups. Up until today it all ran smoothly.?
?
Starting today I am not able to post announcements to my groups.io account from my Hotmail web account. The message bounces and I get an error message as pasted below. My Hotmail adress is the owner of said groups.io group.??In fact, I was not even able to join this Moderator Forum with my Hotmail email and had to join with my secondary Yahoo account.?
?
I made no changes to my groups.io account or my membership. I checked a thread from last year that seemed to have this problem; "new subscriber cannot send message to group" by Bob B., where the solution was lacking or erraneous subject field. Someone else suggested the sender's email was not subscribed to the group or sent to the wrong groups.io adress. I double checked all of that and everything seems fine.
?
Then I contacted Hotmail support which suggest that the domain groups.io needs to be whitelisted to communicate with Microsoft's domains. Whitelistig can be done here:
?
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/getsupport?oaspworkflow=start_1.0.0.0&wfname=capsub&productkey=edfsmsbl3&locale=en-us&ccsid=636094517133798255
?
Alternatively, the error might be because the domain groups.io is not configured correctly, Microsoft/Hotmail support suggests. "One needs to check that with the domain supplier" they say. Contact the whitelist support here:?
?
https://postmaster.live.com/snds/FAQ.aspx?
?
On that page there is a link called "If I have more questions, whom should I ask?" to get in touch with Postmaster for Outlook.com.?
?
More about whitelisting:
?
Hotmail support furthermore suggested that someone from the organization/company that runs groups.io looks into this because it's a commercial field, not an end user field.
?
Is this forum read by groups.io staff who might look into this or know something about the above?
?
I was able to log into my groups.io web interface and post from there, so the announcement did go out eventually, but I prefer to post from Hotmail.?
?
Thanks,
Glenn

Does Groups.io have that feature? It is done differently here, not with Files but with a Member Notice, or a calendar event. /g/GroupManagersForum/message/7986Shal -- Help: /static/helpMore Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wikiEven More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list

Re: What does "Not Confirmed" mean?
The "not confirmed" concept is pretty straightforward but is rarely well-explained. In the following, I will often use the words "email address" and "account" interchangeably. In groups.io, they are the same thing. It is possible to "create an account" (i.e.: a recognized email address) on groups.io by simply clicking on a subscription link. However, by this mechanism it is entirely possible to subscribe someone else's email address without their knowledge. The system needs to know two things at this point: 1) The person behind that email address really wants a groups.io account, and 2) The person is capable of receiving messages, or at least retrieving them in some way. To that end, a "confirmation email" is sent. Clicking on the link in that email confirms that at least one email got through and that the recipient really wants to receive more. At that point the "NC" status is removed and normal message delivery begins. "NC" status can also be removed if the user actually logs into groups.io using that email address. The presumption here is that the user will review group messages online; and might proceed to set their email delivery to "no email," although the latter is not a requirement to clear the status. To be absolutely clear, "NC" status is set for the account, not the group. Once an email address/account has cleared this once, that user can subsequently join other groups and receive messages immediately. More information on this than you might ever want to know can be found in the GMF wiki:?? /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Status-Badges-in-the-Members-List? Those of you who feel this process to be a bunch of nonsense can override it all by paying for a Premium group and using Direct Add instead. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.?? /static/help

? ? ?Thanks, everyone.? ?First time that happened.? Couldn't figure out what he might have done wrong.? What I did, while waiting for replies, is delete his membership and asked him to start over.? He obviously did it right this time because the "NC" icon no longer appears.

On Wed, May 16, 2018 at 11:02 am, Chris Jones wrote: I said above "it is all rather confusing", and that is from the perspective of
a group Moderator (me!) who has at least some idea about what is going on; how
it looks to a random applicant I cannot begin to imagine. We get some
applications showing up in "Pending Members" that expire after 14 days because
the applicant does precisely nothing; others respond as required within
minutes (including responding to the Pending Subscription message) and their
becoming a member is smooth and untroubled. I agree that it is all a bit confusing. In my (restricted) group we approved some members because they reacted to the Pending Member message introducing themselves, as required. Nevertheless, in the members' list they show with a NC badge. I sent them a confirmation mail but nothing changed. I'm not sure what to do. On the other hand, we have a pending member who's been sitting there for a quite while, since May 2. We sent him two confirmation mails with no success. I checked his delivery history and found this message dated May 3: "2.6.0 < [email protected]> [InternalId=11927124306244, Hostname=DB5EUR03HT080.eop-EUR03.prod.protection.outlook.com] 8748 bytes in 0.308, 27.729 KB/sec Queued mail for delivery " So, apparently, he did not even receive the two confirmation mails.

Re: When I am just a member why doesn't the group I belong to show up in "My groups"
Ellen, ? Don¡¯t give up. Try addressing (no pun intended) the problem by logging directly into Groups.io instead of doing it by email. That will avoid the ¡°From¡± problem. In your browser go to Log in using you OLD email address. You may need to create a password if you haven¡¯t used this address before. Select Your Groups. Make sure you have the correct account by looking at the page title and verifying your name and your OLD email address. You¡¯ll get a list of only those groups where you are listed with the old email address. Make a note so you don¡¯t lose them. Select the Groups checkbox and Select Actions > Unsubscribe. Confirm and your old account address should be removed. ? Now Logout (upper right corner) and log back in with your new email address. If any of your groups are missing, then use Find or Create a Group to find them and resubscribe. (Since you are getting ¡°already subscribed¡± messages, I think most will already be there.) ? Hope that helps, Randy T ?

I can't join as I am because it's said I already am a member. When I hit unsubscribe on their email, I don't know what to do next and anyway it would come from my present address not the?older address?I want to unsubscribe. So I shall have to forego going over to site unless (which I did) I save this first email and anytime I want to go there, use it. This sort of thing is par for the course for me.
