Can members on moderation freely "reply to sender" via the group? J

J, I agree, his selective ability to respond seems suspicious. I might be inclined to boot him out again on that basis alone; since a response to the initial questionnaire is a requirement of the group and he hasn't complied. The generic name Fast Email Extractor seems to be associated with one or more products for collecting email addresses from web sites. Presumably the first step in a marketing (spam) campaign. That particular site seems to also offer lists of collected email addresses for sale. So the man may be a victim of that site, having had his email address collected from some other web site. Since you were able to find his address at multiple locations in a Google search it isn't unlikely that a list seller might have also. By the way, member management - including questions and advice about unusual or troublesome situations - is perfectly on topic here. But a reminder to everyone that GMF's archive is open to the public, so thank you for not posting any personal identifiers. Shal GMF Owner

Can someone here outline how the @[membername] thing can be used? I know that as a group owner, I can click on it within a member's page and be taken to the member's profile. But can it be used to search on Groups.io members in general and find their profiles - not necessarily as a group owner? In fact, is there any ability to search for a Groups.io members in general, using their username or a portion of their username, from anything other than a member's page within the member list? Thanks for any info. If this ability is nonexistent, or nobody knows about it, I will post on beta.? Thanks. J

Has anyone noticed Grouos.io running ads? A couple of ads (or links to ads) have appeared below emails coming from group members via the group, but I'm not sure whether they're coming from the users' signature lines or Groujs.io or something else. If no answers here, I wil ask the group members in question . Thanks. J Sent from my iPhone

There was an entry in the activity log today that "email to [member xyz] is bouncing." This is the first such entry we've had. I checked the member's activity history and the only thing in it is one bounced email, which was sent today. The member joined more than one year ago, when we were still on yahoo, and has never posted.?I'm not sure what to do about this besides remove the member from the group. I'm not even sure I want to send him an email. I've virtually never corresponded with this person. Looking forward to thoughts, helpful hints or advice here. Thanks. J

I'm being deluged by spam to my yahoo list owner addresses. They're all the unpaid invoice threatening emails that I've read are either phishing attempts or contain links with ransom ware. I am careful of course but worried I might click on something by mistake. Just wondering if io group owner addresses are potentially open to these attacks even if less likely as io has fewer groups so far? Thanks, Louise Sent from my iPad

I've been using PGOffline to archive messages in various Yahoo groups for a while already, and when doing a large number of messages the Yahoo system will cut me off after some unknown-to-me limit is reached. PGOffline provides a way to regulate the throttle and hopefully extend that limit. Does Groups.io run into that issue too when copying messages? Is there a throttle? Thanks, Scott Scott Bonacker CPA - McCullough and Associates LLC - Springfield, MO

I have been ?absent from groups ?for ?more than 3 wks. On ?my return ?I found some change to ?group. io.? I ?normally ?reply via my email account to any messages. However because ?I had so many accumulated in the 3 wks or so I ?decided to delete all of them and ?visit the group page thread instead and choose which messages I wanted to respond to To my surprise if a topic ?has a long thread of messages ? I ?can't ?choose to reply to one of the threads.. The reply option is gone from each ?thread of messages. Ugh! vickie

Vickie, I decided to reply here in consideration of Mark's request in beta@ #6874 that we limit that thread to "how" without delving into what we will or won't use, or whether it's a good idea. /g/beta/message/6874 That's kind of a tough request to follow, especially when I introduced the question wondering which of three options would be best. Maybe we can hash it out here and bring a refined description back to beta@ In beta@ #6915 Vickie wrote: /g/beta/message/6915 With the possible exception of replies by email, I think what you've described is exactly what I intended by option B. I wrote: Here's an example of what I meant: John posts an item to the group. His message is posted in the group's messages section, and distributed to members by email according to their subscription settings (individual, digest, etc.). The only difference introduced by the Anonymous Posting option so far is that only John's name, not his email address, is revealed in his post; and that is true for other subscribers reading by email as well as for those reading by Groups.io's web site. Mary wants to contact John about the item. She goes to the web site and uses the Reply feature, clicking "Send to sender". In Mary's reply her email address is included normally (as the From and Reply-To address) in the message to John, and hence is revealed to John. John decides whether or not to reply to Mary. If he does, his email interface will include his address in his message to Mary in the normal way. After this point John and Mary are free to continue their off-list conversation as they please. Notably, if John chooses not to reply to Mary, neither she nor anyone else learns his email address. I think the additional thing that you want, which I didn't accomplish, was allowing Mary to contact John by way of her email interface. Instead my description forces her to the Groups.io site to do that. Call the above option B1, and what follows option B2. There is possibly a way to accomplish an off-list reply to an anonymous posting, and that's by taking a baby-step toward option C. Instead of a noreply address or other placeholder in group postings, Groups.io could insert something like what Mark proposed in the third bullet of his message #6797: John's posting could be from "[email protected]" (assuming John has set "John123" as his User Name in his profile). /g/beta/message/6797 But where Mark specified that any email to that address would be dropped, it could instead be forwarded to John's actual email address. That would allow Mary to reply via her email interface rather than the Groups.io site if she wishes. As before, her reply reveals her address to John, and Johns actual address is not revealed to Mary until and unless he decides to reply to Mary. Now B2 did require that John establish a User Name in his profile. That's probably a reasonable requirement, and it can be used as signifying his consent to have messages forwarded to him via this means (Just as in now signifies his consent to having people see his profile). Do either B1 or B2 make sense to you? Shal

Hey all, Just wanted to let you know I've been dealing with a lot of real life stuff, so not only am I way behind in here, but also in Beta. So I haven't had a chance to work on putting any documentation together for the Beta Manual concept. I apologize, this is just how my life seems to go these days. I don't mean to promise things I can't do, I really intend to get them done...so I'll see if things calm down and I can still work on it soon. Thanks in advance for understanding. Brenda

I think Mark has been dealing with the "multiple email address" issue already, or has it on his Todo list. Meanwhile, what can I do to help a member of both my main and my admin group who happens to be using separate email addresses for the two groups? This is a remnant of the fact that she was using the separate email addresses for the two groups from before we transferred from yahoo, and everything just transferred over as is. However, she can't get into the admin group site, but can get into the main group site, evidently because she's logged in as that email address rather than the other. Can she simply swap out her email address in one of the groups? Or does she have to request a password in order to log in as that separate user? It would obviously be much more convenient for her if she could be just one user and change the address in one of the groups. But before advising her to do this, I wanted to get an idea of whether it would even be allowed, since both email addresses are now separate accounts internally. J

Hi Everyone. In the group we are preparing to migrate, we have a lot of messages that we need to refer back to while answering questions, almost on a daily basis.? Wiki will come in handy in the long run but in the meanwhile I'm looking for a way to search archived messages by specific sender/author. In search here and on Beta, seeing only? reference to Trello. Thanks for any guidance. Nancy C

Hi everyone, I'm Joseph Lee, one of the members of the Groups.IO beta group and the manager of several Groups.IO forums. I just saw Shal's message to the Beta group and noticed the URL for this group, so I decided to join this one to network with other admins. At the moment I'm modifying the wiki page on subgroups (started by Shal a few hours ago) to add some new subgroup scenarios, explain subdomain address format and such. Thanks.

Hi everyone Have been following upgrade discussions on Beta over last two days.? I need help in basic understanding? of recently added subdomains and their use. As background, we are in the process of setting up and migrating a group that has been with yahoo since 1999.? Currently 12,000 member? ( which will undoubtedly change with migration and real bouncing protocol) and over 225,000 archived messages. We have set up the parent/main group and three subgroups which were separate groups on yahoo. Thanks for any incite. Nancy

Inspired by a recent conversation in beta@ I've created the bones of a new help page in our Wiki: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Why-use-a-Subgroup My intent is to link it in the wiki home under "Best Practices for Group Management", but it isn't ready for prime time yet. I'm not going to have time to work on it much more today, so anyone with some inspiration is invited to put some flesh on those bones, or add some more bones. Shal

Hi all One of upgrades last week was NEW: Table of Contents in Wiki, by adding [TOC:Title:MaxLevel] to a wiki page. We're setting up Wiki's and am hoping for a quick review of what this does and where it goes. Many thanks. Nancy C

Hello We are in the process of setting up a very large group that helps horse owners manage two different "diseases". ?This is being done prior to migrating from Yahoo. All of our 898 files and 156 folders have been loaded. ?(PHEW!) However, we have (according to Yahoo) 12,000+ members who are trying to access and learn a great deal of information from the files. ? Many of the documents have links that go back to Yahoo which of course will need to be changed. Additionally, in one of the subgroups, there will be 100s of ?photo albums and?1000+ Case History??folders containing many documents. ?Our (often computer challenged) members need to save and post the links in messages so the volunteers can use the uploaded information to answer questions about specific horses. ? We came to realize that if there are changes similar to the ones Mark recently made to the domain names, that links are somewhat unstable. ? I am wondering if there is a way we can better preserve links so that if the domain name changes again we don't have to go through this again?? Thanks in advance! ?This is so much better than Yahoo that I'm terrified I'll wake up and find it was just a fantasy. Mark, if you are reading this, thank you for Group.io.? -LeeAnne ECIR Group Archivist (fancy speak for file clerk)

Hello everyone, Wondering if anyone else is having this problem with searching their files. If you have a search that returns more than 50 hits at the bottom of the search page there are more pages in little page icons. In our group when I click on those icons it just kicks me back to the beginning of the files instead of to the next page in the search results.? Also had this problem of being kicked back to main home page when I clicked on a Wiki page from the Wiki "home" page and when I try to switch from thread to message view in the subgroups.? - LeeAnne

Hi Forum, Any know to enable the Recently Posted Photos feature on the groups home page?? Some of my members have a hard time finding newly created photo albums and the Recently Posted Photos always shows nothing has been added when a new album is made or photos are added to an existing album. Thanks, Dean

Ro, I don't see a like option for ?any of your messages. ?Not even in the group Beta ?page so I am adding it here..? Likes!! lol Vickie ? From: Ro Sent: Sunday, February 7, 2016 10:58 PM a lot of work for those of us on direct email, which is the whole purpose of those of us that are wanting the Settings option to eliminate the ability to edit.? The whole problem is fixed by just not letting editing occur by the membership.? And many will choose not to send a new message, when the edit was something non crucial, so inbox clutter IS reduced.? As with my last suggestion, I dont understand the resistance to having a setting available to owners that doesnt impact those that dont want to click on that setting.
