How to prevent one person from seeing a single group email? 10
Hello! We sometimes have birthday surprises or events for a single person within an email group and we don't want them to see the email. What is the best way to temporarily keep that person from seeing the surprise notice? I tried "none" for owner email, but that failed lol. I don't know if it matters if that person is also a moderator. I appreciate any advice, thank you!

Passing on group ownership 2
I am the Vice President of the Vintage Radio Control Society. Our president Mike Denest has recently passed away. He was the sole owner and moderator for our group. I would like to transfer the group ownership to me, but I am not familiar with how that could be done. Can anyone advise me? Thank you very much. -- John H.

Invitees not showing up in Members as Pending; How to view sent invitations 3 #invitations #members
Is this normal behavior? When someone asks to join, they do show up in Members as pending, but when I invite someone, they don't show up anywhere in Member unless and until they accept. I also can't find a way to view a list of the invitations I've sent. I can go into Activity and see that I have sent them, but there's not a list of "Invites sent" or similar. Thanks Michele

email preference settings 5
We¡¯re testing groups.io to see if we want to commit. I have a few questions about the Email Delivery options. Individual messages: is there a way to include the original message with the replies to it? Full Featured Digest or Plain Digest: It says ¡®up to 12 messages grouped together¡¯ but it doesn¡¯t give any clue how often it would be sent. Does it wait for several message but what happens if there aren¡¯t very many? Daily? Weekly? Daily Summary: it says, ¡®..contains only a list of the topics posted..¡¯, does this mean to actually read them you have to follow a link?

Change my email, multiple groups 16
Hello I'm a long time multiple group owner. I'm 86 and my technical skills are fading. My question is, since I've recently had a change in email addys, is it possible to change to my new email Addy in ALL of my groups at one time? FYI. my old email account can receive but not send emails now, and even receiving will be terminated shortly. Thanks in advance for any advice.

It's beating me to death... 10
Okay, I know. RTFM ¨C Read The Full Manual. And I did, and again. And then again. And it¡¯s not working for me. I have a thread of 18 messages that I merged into one ¨C and it worked just like it always has. I¡¯ve done this before. Then I figured out that I wanted a different message within this thread to be the ¡®lead¡¯ message. So I figured ¡®this is easy, I¡¯ll just Split out the one I want as the ¡®new lead¡¯, then Merge the remaining 17 back with it¡­but I cannot get the Split Option to show in the hamburger menu. I¡¯ve played with multiple combinations (followed the instructions ¡°to a T¡± at least a few times, then tried other combinations) and no been able to get the hamburger to allow the Split option. Obviously, unless I take a video of what I¡¯m doing, or amass a bunch of screen shots, I can¡¯t show you what I¡¯m doing, when, and how. But I can at least ask for help in someone confirming that I should be able to Split one message out of an 18 message Topic. I¡¯ve thought far enough out that if no one can figure out what I¡¯m doing wrong, or that it really won¡¯t work for them either, or there¡¯s another way that I haven¡¯t figured out, I can go in and play with the Message Topics and alter them to attempt to achieve my objective. Thanks. -- Dan Tucker, Groups.io AFDRetiree¡¯s Group and AFSMA Group Founder/Owner/Moderator (907) 863-1313

Inviting members for group awaiting approval
Good morning, In the process of creating my new group, I invited an initial set of members, then I submitted my new group. Later, when I attempted to add new members, I saw this message: This group has not yet been approved. Once it has been approved, you will be able to post to it. Does this mean I'm only allowed to invite members when I create the group, but I cannot invite additional members until the group is approved? Thank you, Denise

RSS feed integration ¡ª how? 4
I¡¯d like to integrate an RSS feed with my group, so that new posts on the feed are sent to the group. The documentation says to to the left panel and select Admin -> Integrations. /helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-integrations-with-outside-services/feed-integrations I do not see that link. Is it still possible to integrate RSS with a groups.io group? If so, how? Is this a feature that has been deprecated, or is only avaialble to paid plans? Thanks, Mitch Wagner mitch@...

Is there a way to limit how many posts a member can make in a day? 5
Google AI says there is: =================================== Yes, on Groups.io, you can limit the number of posts a member can make by adjusting the group's "Message Policies" settings, which allows you to set restrictions like a maximum number of posts per day or a specific time period between posts. How to do it: Access Group Settings: Go to your group's settings page on Groups.io. Navigate to Message Policies: Within the settings, find the "Message Policies" section. Set Limits: Here you can set rules like limiting the number of posts per day, requiring a certain amount of time between posts, or other moderation options. ==================================== BUT I cannot find those controls. This is in reference to a small 77 member free group. We have a few people who can't seem to control themselves, worse get uncivil about it. Don't want to deal with moderation

Message with JPG attachment saves attachment as WEBP in Message Archives 3
Yesterday, 2025-01-28, a group that I am a member of received a post which had an attachment on it. ( /g/MFCL/message/105719 ) The attachment was a JPG file of approximately 260 Kb. My membership is set to receive all attachments, and the attachment shows in the message I received as a JPG file, and it opened fine on Irfanview on my desktop machine. [ Win11Pro. Firefox, OEClassic Pro Ver 4.9.3, Irfanviex Ver 4.7 (64 bit) ] However, groups.io saved the attachment on the web page (presumably in Photos) as a WEBP file. People who don't accept attachments and prefer links to open them from the web were somewhat concerned because someone stated tht WEBP wasn't as secure of a format as JPG. An extended discussion followed. I'm curious if this is usual or if something has changed. I still have the original in my inbox, but the file on the web site was deleted and replaced with the JPG file I had reposted. Does anyone have any answers regarding this, or is it something I should take to Beta? Dan Stinson

An anomalous ownership status flag 5
I thought I would solicit thoughts here before posting to beta or support ... I have Mod status in the main group of a premium group. I am also a member of a subgroup but in the subgroup membership list there is (as expected) no flag against me. However, in that subgroup, on the left in the web interface I see the flag "Owner" up at top against the Home link. Looking around, I do indeed seem to have owner capabilities in that subgroup. This may just be a database discrepancy that Mark could fix but if anyone has any idea how this might have come about I'd be pleased to hear! In a different group (legacy free with subgroups) I have a subgroup which I am not a member of and when I view that subgroup, against Home I have the flag "Parent owner". I cannot though see how being a "Parent moderator" would show up as an "Owner" flag in a subgroup. best, Malcolm. -- Malcolm Austen -- malcolm.austen@...

Pending Messages 3 #messages
I am a new owner of an old group. I need to check pending messages 4-5 times daily. I use iOS 18.3 and Windows 10. How can I get a link that I can add to home screen on the phone and save as a bookmark on the PC. I have tried copying the URL when I have pending open on the PC and using that URL on the phone but it does not open to showing the pending messages or even showing admin. TIA

Message Recall Failure: Recall 7
A member of my group used the "message recall" function and now group members are being bombarded with notifications with "Message Recall Failure: Recall" in the subject header. Is there any way to stop this?

Freezing a Topic but Allowing Reply To Sender 7
I am considering allowing limited personal sales by subscribers of my groups subject related personal completed models, surplus kits or model parts with the enforced condition that the members must only reply to sender and complete their transactions outside of Groups.io. Currently if I freeze a topic after reviewing the initial message and finding a sales message, the reply to sender option is no longer available. I don't want to have to require the original sender to include their email address in the message. Is what I want already available in the current group settings or will this require a software modification. I could not find how to accomplish this process described in the documentation. thanks -- Ken Adams Plastic Freight Car Builders (PlasticFreightCarBuiilders.groups.io) Owner and Moderator

Different email address in invitation 2
Hi, I already have a groups.io account and am owner of one group. I want to set up a new group with a different email address in the invitation, ie not my groups.io account email address. So potential new members would use the alternative email address to accept the invite. Is this possible? If so how? Thanks

Removing a member 5
Greetings, I'm the owner of a group that has a set of requirements for membership. I'm cleaning house, removing members who have failed to meet those requirements. There's a possibility that one member may try to retaliate when removed. Can I remove a member without them being notified? AFAICT, the manual doesn't cover this.
