Re: Editing a display name by moderator
"Set Member Subscription Options" did the trick. Thanks!

You can somewhat enforce that by changing to a Restricted group.? Then you could send a Pending Subscription notice saying what the requirements are.? At minimum, they could include their preferred Display Name in their reply to make it easier to know what to use in their member record.? Then you'd have the option of adding it for them or forcing them to change it before you approve membership.

No, that only allows a moderator to set another member to moderator.? To edit Display Names for members, I think a moderator would need Set Member Subscription Options.

Re: Editing a display name by moderator
I THINK Moderators already? have the right to edit display names, simply by clicking on the name in the Members tab,? then going to the Display Name field and typing. However, for Moderators, there is an option near the bottom of the list of Moderator Permissions called Set Moderator Privileges, which will do what you want.

Dear Group_Help,
In section 11.2 of the owner's manual, it says:
"Owners and moderators can edit the Display Name field in individual members¡¯ records (but be aware that members can change their own display names as mentioned above)."
Is there a moderator permission to enable this?
We have a few folks that joined via the "+subscribe" direction that left the "display name" field blank. "Owner" can fix it but I haven't figured out how to enable a "moderator" to fix it.
Actually, it might be nice to have an option somewhere to require a "display name" for all new members at registration.

You can only change the tag color, not the text color.? The text color, which will be black or white, can change based on the background though.

Yup.? The place to edit the color is on your group's Hashtags page.? Each hashtag has a rectangle with two buttons in it: Edit, and Mute/Notify.? Click the Edit button, then scroll down the page until you reach the Tag Color.

I think there is not a way to change all Hashtags at once.

Once a hashtag is created, only a moderator/admin ?can edit or delete the hashtag.

Good day,

Is there a way to change the text color in a Hashtag? Using the Black background makes the Black text almost unreadable.

Thank for any help.

Re: Fastmail Delivery Problems
I got a quick response from Fastmail on the problem and this morning everything seems to be back to normal.? Looks like a backlog of messages all came through at one time and this morning current ones are being downloaded right away.

FYI, I think that was done already. I saw it
mentioned on 'beta'. [...] Thanks for mentioning the post in Beta <> and thanks to Bruce Bowman for noticing the reports about Fastmail throttling and calling attention to it in the Beta group. I had checked Beta before originally posting here, and saw nothing about Fastmail at that time.

Re: Fastmail Delivery Problems
You can disregard my last message.? I think I found out how to create a support ticket.? Hopefully one of us will get an answer.

Ann, I hope you will please consider opening a support ticket at Fastmail, as I have done earlier. There is strength in numbers. If more Fastmail users complain, it is more likely that Fastmail will assign technical staff to fix the problem.
Also, is there a way to request that Groups.io staff contact Fastmail to resolve the problem?

Re: Fastmail Delivery Problems
How would I open a support ticket?? I logged into my account and didn't see anything.? I'm sure I am missing something very obvious.? Would appreciate any info on how to open a support ticket.

Mind you, there is no guarantee that the Groups.io staff has the resources to check every email service that has a hiccup or blockage.? I don't know what percentage of group members use Fastmail but that probably enters into the equation too.

If the emails to your Fastmail account were being returned to Groups.io, then Groups.io eventually sets your status to "Bouncing" or "Bounced".? If that happened, try this:

Go to the webpage for the group, and login (top right corner) if you are not already logged in to your Groups.io account.? Then click Subscription in the column on the left, and check the Settings.?

Mike,

If your interest is in Groups.io, it's worth spending some time becoming familiar with it by way of the Manuals.
?
?
The " Members Manual" is probably best for learning how to be a member of other people's groups. ?

Andy,
I was not sure about this Sub-Group subject.

Don't limit yourself to sub-groups.? There may be a group about Insurance that is not a sub-group, and it may have no sub-groups.
