Re: moderation of chat feature / possible clearing of the activity log
My interpretation from what is said here, is that you could have a perfectly good chat ongoing, which could be ruined by a single comment/photo - entering into the frame - disrupting the discussion completely and the only option available, will be to completely delete the whole chat. This is not ideal in my view - barry

dont understand "zen koan" - so I'll ignore it - probably best anyway??

This is beginning to sound like a ("What is the sound of one person chatting?")

The chat function is feature-poor, to put things mildly. Among other things, there seems to be no way to delete a single chat entry; and as far as "resetting" it is concerned, the only way is to close (or delete) the chat and start a new one.

Re: moderation of chat feature / possible clearing of the activity log
Barry, did you check out the help on chats?
?
It does discuss editing chats, deleting an individual chat message, deleting a chat.?
Does deleting an individual chat message accomplish what you want?
?
You also ask about resetting the activity log back to the beginning of the count - starting again with the whole presentation.?
Have you looked at reopening a closed chat?
?
And you mention moderation of chat feature.?
Help says: ?Group owners determine whether the Chats feature is available in their groups and, if it is, who can create new chats: all members or only owners and moderators.
and
All group members can participate in chats. 开云体育 does not provide a “private” chat option that allows chat creators to restrict chats to subsets of group members.
?
So no moderation. But you can delete a chat message after the fact. Not sure how helpful that is if someone is participating live.
?
I haven't used chat in ? Hopefully others will be able to give more advice!

moderation of chat feature / possible clearing of the activity log
Hello to you all ........
?
1/ Firstly - if some one joins into an existing chat, can their input be removed if required to do so by the owner/moderator, or can only the member who made the comment do that ? - I am talking here of say an individual comment with photos attached etc. I can see that the owner/moderator can delete the whole "chat" completely & thereby lose everything but what if he (the owner/moderator) wishes to keep most of the chat ?
2/ Secondly - is there any way of resetting the activity log back to the beginning of the count ? In effect to start again with the whole presentation.

Re: Is there a way to re-send a poll
Thank you for your response. I was trying to figure out how to copy a link to the message and I couldn’t figure that out. Any tips for that?
?
You need to go to your group homepage. Open the poll message.?
On the right side, ?beside the date Mar 28, you see the message number. ? #49082 ?
In my browser (Safari), I do a two-finger click (right click) to open a dropdown menu and click on Copy Link.

Re: I can't filter the membership list to see all moderators
Depending on the order in which I have done things sometimes the Apply button is off the page and I have to scroll down to see it. That is I have to scroll the page, not the drop down list of filters. I haven't figured out exactly what set of actions cause this, but it happens from time to time. Could that be happening in your case?

If you can see the member list and the filter options then then the Apply button for should be visible. I've tested each moderator permission that states it gives access to the member list and I always see the Apply button on the Filter page.? Have you tried a forced refresh on your browse? Typically Ctrl + F5 does that.

Re: Technical new member question
My question is specifically related to approval of a new member who is not yet confirmed by groups.io or admitted to membership in a specific group with admission criteria.? Good to hear that accessing ongoing messages might not require a change in settings.

Re: Technical new member question
FWIW, I use iCloud private relay on my iPad and I've never had trouble getting an email through.

Re: Technical new member question
Check that. Seems I only notice when I’m out and about when I’ve got bad connection, and iOS warns inability to use private relay. So, private relay is on automatically and must be manually disabled in settings (Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Private Relay)

Hi, Leah,
I would just try going to the "join" URL for your current group name and seeing if it works.
A slight complication: If you are already a member of the group your login cookie might be stored. In this case, if you go to the join link, it flashes up on the screen and then disappears. So try it from an incognito (anonymous) browser window. All you have to look for is whether the window with the text field comes up.
?
I hope this helps!
-P.
?
Peter, because we changed the name of the group (before there were any members other than owner), some of the URLs were still for the old name and I had to change them…eg, in the welome msg. Do you know how I can find out if the same is true for the join URL and, if so, how I can correct it?
Thanks
Leah

Hi Lea,
You can find the group|s URL by opening (while in your group as owner)
Admin/Preferences/Promote
There in the top right hand corner you see the box
Invite your friends
And at the bottom of that box you see the URL of the group. I assume if you add
/join
You have the URL for joining the group.
Kind regards
Thomas

Thanks,?Duane. Clearly, the display name has to be optional.
In my situation, the group I want to use this for is a pure announcement group, so only moderators (in this case, only I, as the owner) can post. So the system will not accept postings from vanilla members.
Small caveat: if a member responds to one of my postings, the response goes only to me and my return response to the member goes only to the member. But then does process the email in this manner. So possibly, an empty display name would be populated by such a member response. However, it's rare that I get such responses.?
-P.

Display names and User names are optional.? Some groups require one or both, while others prohibit them.? The site will try to fill in the Display name using email header information the first time a message is sent.? As long as adding one is still optional, it may be possible to ask for one or use the format you mentioned.
