For clalrification, "Registration" for a Zoom meeting is a method of controlling who attends by asking for details of attendees before the meeting starts and allowing the host to check those off before allowing them in.? Registration is an optional Zoom setting and is not specific to using the Zoom integration via a Groups.io calendar.? The first time you use the Zoom integration on Groups.io you need to specify and give permission for Groups.io to access your Zoom account. Zoom is then listed in your Account profile under Account > Other services.

Having used the Zoom integration a few times I can tell you the current version:

- Only seems to work with Personal Meeting Ids
- Does not support repeating meetings
- Adds a #Zoom hashtag to the meeting subject but it is not then added to the list of hashtags for the group.

Hope that helps.

From what I can tell, when you use the GIO calendar to set up a zoom meeting, the process creates a registration link that requires people to provide their names and email addresses. However, it doesn't appear that these registrations are then provided back to the creator of the meeting. You can see an example here:??

My only suggestion is to delete the event and recreate it.? There have been problems in the past when a repeating event is edited.

I have this problem on at least 2 repeating calendar reminders.?? Below are captures of the event schedule and the reminder schedule.
The reminders are actually being sent exactly 5 minutes before the event starts (verified by viewing the headers in the T-bird "source") instead of 1 day before the event.
This has been consistent within seconds.
I note that this COULD be related to the fact that at 9PM Eastern time local DATE and UTC Date would be off from each other so if the date conversion is off (using local time but UTC date) then the time of day is correct and I could set the reminder for 2 days prior rather than 1 day prior.

HOWEVER:
I have another event (also shown below) that is scheduled to have a reminder sent "3 days before" the event and it is consistently? being sent exactly 36 hours before the event. This can not be explained by the same logic as the previous example because at the time of the event local and UTC dates would be the same.

Melanie -- You should be fine as long as your group archives are really private (see Admin>Settings>Privacy>Visibility).

By doing this, would I be risking the possibility of crashers at the meeting?

With every person you invite, you increase the likelihood that someone will forward the information to someone you didn't want to attend. But using a closed group to distribute it should pose no additional risk over sending that same info to each person individually.

In short, we do it all the time.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Are you logged into the web UI with the correct email address? (i.e. an owner/moderator one, not a member one?

Candice, they're public and you can see them here:??

One of my groups members, who is approved for posting messages, has edited one of his posts.? Groups says I need to approve and unmoderate the post.? When I try to do this i get the circle with a slash symbol, universal 'you can't do that' and the post remains needing approval before being sent.
I tried just approving it, without also unmoderating.? Tried doing and edit myself then approving.? Nothing works
Just? a few innocuous phrases, about 3 sentences and a picture, which was there in the original post.

Now that's what I call clever, Bruce!

I tried a single space but didn't like the look of it, so put Members in its place on all the albums.? And I'm happy with that.

Many thanks,

Jim,

Unfortunately not true. Some MUAs (e.g. Thunderbird) make "reply to
list" the default reply action to messages, even if the list is
configured "Announce Only", "Reply To=Sender", and "Remove other reply
options",

Here's some more history on the subject:


In short, the inclusion of List-Post proved problematic due to what I consider a Thunderbird bug*, but it was added back specifically for groups set with Reply To = Sender.

It makes sense to me that List-Post should /not/ be included if the group is also set to "Remove Other Reply Options".

Shal
*The maintainers of Thunderbird do not agree. Last I looked the bug report was marked "won't fix". There is a config option for it though (which I set two years ago and have forgotten about since).

I just sent a note to that topic in beta related to this, yet to be approved.? One of my groups doesn't have any pages, but the wiki is enabled.? Now I can't get in to create any pages.? Is that what you're seeing?? On the groups where pages existed, I don't have any problems.

If you're talking about the Wiki entry on the left menu, it works fine for me on several groups.? Are you logged in?

Agreed. The last two sentences in my guidelines are "Straying from these guidelines may result in a friendly email from the moderator. Serious or repeated violations may result in temporary restrictions on posting." Fortunately I've set the kind of tone in my groups that has made the latter event very rare. The last time I did it the person voluntarily left the group, which was fine with me

I would like to see a copy of your group guidelines, Peter, do you think you could email them to me?
Thanks, Candice Massey

Mod’s note: email address removed. Use the group homepage, reply and Private for a private reply.?

Anyone know how to access the Wiki pages since Mark has changed the retrieval technique?

Maybe a good ploy is to put those non-compliant members on Moderation.

Well maybe. If any individual or group of individuals (the "chiders") are put on moderation to prevent them "piling on and self-designating posts by persons they dislike as "political speech" then they may quickly resort to the use of Report this Message instead; bad enough if they report just to the moderators, intolerable if they report to Groups.io.

I'd be tempted to opt for a (locked) topic on "civilised behaviour" and then remove them from your members list if any of them ignore the warning. Just putting them on moderation or banning them from posting still leaves the Report.. function open to them.
