If a member's delivery method is "Single" but he is not receiving group email, what can be done? You should check the activity log and the member's email delivery history.? Those should tell you what the situation really is.

When I first ran into this, I noticed the option on my group's home page asking me if I "Wanted to Join". I clicked on that and then it indicated that I was a member. That tells me that you created a new account.? You'll need to backtrack and figure out how to get signed in with the proper account.

Re: Sent Invitations sort order

Note in the sorted view the most recent transactions are in the 1st and 4th positions, separated by Accepted and Expired entries from days or weeks in the past. In my own account, the invitees are in alphabetical order by email address.
Note that I clean up my list periodically and just keep those that have not responded. I delete Accepted email addresses by clicking Cancel/Remove Invite from the dropdown menu. It doesn't delete their acceptance, just tidies this up. (I think that a better word than Remove could be used but I am not sure what. Perhaps a note?) ?

Sent Invitations sort order
Hi,? I noticed that the "Sent Invitations" list does not by default show recent transactions, and even if sorted by "Invited" the entries are not strictly in order.? Is this intended?
?
Attached are two screenshots, showing the default view and after clicking the "Invited" column header twice (the first time sorts oldest first).

Note in the sorted view the most recent transactions are in the 1st and 4th positions, separated by Accepted and Expired entries from days or weeks in the past.

How could this UK's new Online Safety Act affect anyone or anything not in the UK? From my reading, they'll be assessing "fees" to companies that can be accessed in the UK, based on the income of the company, if any of the 'rules' are broken.? It appears that this isn't even a government department, just a group that has decided there should be more protections.? If/how it will work and/or be accomplished certainly isn't clear.?

Has anybody looked into the implications of the Act for forums on groups.io? My thoughts are based on the first paragraph, "It puts a range of new duties on social media companies and search services, making them more responsible for their users¡¯ safety on their platforms. The Act will give providers new duties to implement systems and processes to reduce risks their services are used for illegal activity, and to take down illegal content when it does appear. "? Since it specifically mentions social media and search engines, that's probably what it's aimed at.? Groups.io already has procedures in place, and part of the TOS, that cover illegal activities.? I doubt that this site has anything to be concerned about.

Re: Joining Anomaly
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Thomas,You're correct in your suspicions.? Only group owners and/or moderators can issue such an invitation.? If someone applies through the parent group, then moderators get an approval needed notice (if that's how the group is set up.)? If someone (owner/moderator) issues an invitation, the moderators *still* get a notification, but only that "so and so has joined your group," which can be disconcerting when you know you have the settings such that approval from a group moderator is needed.? The notification is perfectly valid, and all is as it should be, except that it takes some poking around in "Admin" to find that an invitation was issued, so the "normal" approval process was bypassed. At least I'm learning more about how things work behind the curtain...? ;-) Karl On 12/20/2024 11:02 AM, Thomas Gruber

Re: Online Safety Act (UK)
This act appears to aimed squarely at the likes of facebook, X, youtube, dating sites etc, rather than groups such as ours

As the government couldn't run an alcoholic beverage get together in a brewery I suspect its like a lot of other legislation, mostly hot air which looks good on paper but doesn't do much As if the likes of facebook etc are going to take any notice of it Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 20/12/2024 19:49, Harriet Monkhouse via groups.io wrote:

Re: Joining Anomaly
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI get a notification when someone requests to join, and I got a notification that this individual HAD joined, but never saw the approval notification.? Turns out someone in "upper management" issued a direct invite, which bypasses the request approval setting.? Found the source, so mystery solved.? The help is appreciated!Karl On 12/20/2024 11:10 AM, Duane via
