What change are you referring to? I made a text change to the info on our main page after spending days reading thru the manual 3 times.

After googling I found this help from other users email.? So what is incomprehensible? I¡¯m confused. It wasn't a feature when you asked, it is now.? If you had read, and followed, the information that has been included in the replies to your topic, you'd have seen /g/Group_Help/message/7775, which tells you that a change was made to the site to allow you to remove the Join button, just as you wanted.? It was actually a member here that made on the beta group because of your, and others, similar requests.

I enabled the option to have members see the Directory. But the directory option doesn¡¯t show up for our members. It says the directory is available to the paid subscriptions and legacy free groups who joined prior to 2020. We created our page 2002. 2002?? You mean that's when you created your www web page, right?? Because groups.io didn't exist back then.? What matters is when your group was created at groups.io, when was that? Cheers, Christos |

We¡¯d be more likely to stay with groups if they provided support. I don't recall any site that provides better support.? There are the official support avenues, as well as Group_Help (this group) and GroupManagersForum (GMF) for volunteer support.? The manuals have everything that's needed to run a group (as far as I can tell) and have been updated a lot lately to cover all the changes that have been made to the site.? Many things, such as the discussion that started this topic, are revised by the site owner when it will benefit many/most of the users.? Of course, the priority is for groups that are paying, but at least the free groups aren't subjected to the endless ads that other sites use to pay for the 'free' stuff.? Try accessing the owner of any other site to see if changes can be made ( and when) to see how difficult it is, then you'll appreciate Groups.io even more.? Complaining about this site certainly won't get you much respect around here!

Re: bounce and non-existent domain

So I am wondering what the problem is. groups.io seems to have no problem with that email address but there is clearly something wrong with it.David -- At some point, username @ destacgroup.de may have been a valid email address, and the domain was later abandoned. I guess it could also happen by some convoluted sequence of Direct Add and social media login, although I cannot fathom how he would ever set a password. ?
In any event, as long as the same subscriber can manage to stay logged in, he can continue to send messages using that email address by composing them on the web interface. The frustrating thing is - without any valid email address on file - there's no way for anyone to contact him privately. Something would have to be posted to the group itself, which isn't exactly optimal.
?
Three suggestions:
-- Contact the group admins yourself, explain your hardship, and petition them to kick the guy off the group. (They won't be able to explain why, but too bad.)
-- Get a new email address yourself, with a new provider who doesn't do nameserver lookups, or
-- Switch to digest delivery in that group (so the From: line contains the groups.io domain instead).
?
I hope one of those helps.

Also, copy/paste from dark mode often creates problems.Thanks for weighing in, Mike. Generally, if you copy/paste anything that's html (as opposed to plain text), you're at risk that it won't play nicely in dark mode. Inline styles and <span></span> blocks are especially a problem, as they may override the default text colors. ?

Re: New entry on calendar is dark
I too have this problem; it appears to be because of dark mode. I love dark mode because it is easier on the my eyes, but it does have problems. In this case, I suspect the text should have been made white. In other cases, I note that formatting, such as highlighting, becomes invisible. Also, copy/paste from dark mode often creates problems. I think making dark mode better would be most helpful, but I don't know how complex that is. AllTheBest. ? ? ~Mike

Thanks. After adding a new event to calendar the event is highlighted on that date which is a square or boxes on the calendar. When I clicked on that highlighted wording on the date square to check if it was working and info is displayed I noted the dark background and almost illegible text.
I¡¯ll ?try the settings you described.?
