Delete group email
27
Hi. Hoping someone here can help. i need to delete the subscribe groups email link from our main page. We don¡¯t want people to use the groups email to ask to join. In the text section on that page we have instructions to request membership and it doesn¡¯t use a groups email alias.I¡¯ve read the manual about 6 times and can¡¯t find how to do that. Help! And many thanks! merle

Member directory permissions
10
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. Anybody have any thoughts on why our members don¡¯t see the Directory option on the main page of our website? Thanks. Merle

bounce and non-existent domain
2
I have a recurring problem where messages from a particular user get bounced and if enough of those happen, my account gets put into bounce status. (The bounces are not with my ISP but from a third party they hired to filter incoming email: Vade Secure.) Not having any actual messages from that user I had to get his email address from a reply. Checking that shows a complete DNS lookup failure. Whois has nothing on destacgroup.de and ping fails. Surprisingly, an email to his address hasn't resulted in a failure message. Or a response from that user. 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. -- http://davesrocketworks.com David Schultz "The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter." - Sam Spade

New entry on calendar is dark
5
Hi I added new events to my calendar. When I click back on the date box on calendar, the first page is dark and hard to read. If I click on details, that page is fine. But if I go further to see responses (RSVP's) that page is dark again. Any idea on why that is happening? My first few event entries on the calendar when I started the group are fine. Thank you.

Invitations to join not being received
9
Gentlemen, We just started a 30 day free trial. Two prospective members out of nine in the test group are not receiving the invitation to join email. One is already a member of an established groups.io group. He is using the identical email address ending in @msn.com. Second member uses @hotmail.com. Both individuals have double checked email spelling, and both report that the invitations are not going to their spam or junk files. We have 200 members, and cannot accept a failure rate of 20%. Hope you have a simple fix! Thanks, Chris Garbow

A Question About Starting a New Group
9
Hello All, I¡¯ve been running a high school reunion group for those of us who attended from the school¡¯s first day in 1953 through 1965 - that long only to include our younger siblings. I had to cancel allowing photos some time ago, reason being that everyone would reply and leave the photo in their response which took up too much of my time deleting them all afterwards. An idea just came to me. I am thinking of starting a second group for us - one for sharing photos only - - - but only if it can be set to no responses. Send but not respond. Is that even possible, I¡¯m wondering? Hope that¡¯s not too foolish a question! ? Maria

Bruce, re: A Question About Starting a New Group
Thank you very much, Bruce! That will work perfectly.

Is that even possible, I¡¯m wondering? Well, kinda. Change the Reply-to setting to "Only to Sender." They can still reply to whoever posted the initial message/image, but not to the group. Anything coming back that meets the threading algorithm (and would otherwise post as a reply) will be bounced. Regards, Bruce <aaa.png>

4
Is it possible to suspend a group member, so that they cannot read or post messages, without canceling the membership and later remove the suspension (or suspend for a stated time period)? If so, how can I do that. Thanks, Dave Cahn
