You need to also consider that "maintenance" can include unscheduled downtime, such as equipment failure.

In addition to the other replies, there was a notice at the top of every page early this morning that the downtime was coming up.

Go to Admin->Members to ensure they aren't there yet. Direct Add does exactly what it says...it adds a member directly to the group. There is no subscriber activity needed and you won't receive further notifications (unless that address starts bouncing or something).

If they aren't there yet, try again; be sure each email address is correct and on a separate line.

Hope this helps,

Shal has provided the "correct" answer; I am curious to know if you if you run a free or paid - for Group. If paid - for then I can see your point. I don't know how many groups Groups.io supports but I would have thought that a notification could have been sent to all Group Owners.

I knew about it from the beta group and as a result posted a warning this morning at 0630 (UK time) (automated, via our Calendar) so that our members (a free Group BTW) would have a few hours' notice. However, the beta group has (at the time of writing) 456 members, which is less than 0.1% of those who are listed for "updates".

Can I suggest a request on the beta group, suggesting that planned downtime be given publicity beyond the very limited number of beta habitués? Even if it had been published on this Group then there is absolutely no certainty that every Group Owner would have known about it; even 849 members must be a lot less than the total number of Owners.

If you don't tell him that you're ready, nothing will happen.

It was announced in the beta group on April 15 (25 days ago).

Since I just transferred a group with some Yahoo! induced hiccups, I thought I would write down the steps as they make sense to me.? Perhaps this will be helpful others.

1. Start the first transfer request.
2. Note what Yahoo! didn't provide groups.io with to transfer, such as files or photos or databases or whatever.? If nothing, stop.
3. Go to /yahootransfer and in the lower right corner, it says "In Process".?
4. Select the appropriate group from the drop down to the right of "In Process".
5. Delete the current request if required.
6. Fill out the form requesting a new transfer and only check the boxes for what was missing in 2.
7. Wait for the transfer to complete.
8. Go to 2.

In other words, keep deleting the current request and re-requesting until you get everything you need.

Best,

Glenn

I sure hope there was a good reason earlier this morning, it is unacceptable not to have well publicized advance notice when groups.io will be down for maintenance.

I should also note that muting only applies to email delivery. Messages will still appear on the site.

Not entirely clear on why you would want to do this. Even if you could force a subscriber to be sent all the emails, there's no way to prove that they were even received, much less read.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

To my knowledge this is not possible; but if you don't tell anyone what this feature means, few people will bother to look into it on their own initiative.

Could you set up the other way around, make a public group and a restricted subgroup?
(If GIO lets one do that.)

Richard,

Group members only mute receipt in their own mailbox. It does not affect delivery to other members nor does it stop the appearance of the topic or posts on the group site. It allows members to manage the flow of email to their inbox.

I do suggest you disallow “no mail” as an option, if you haven’t already done so. I have also set groups I started to the options that send only the first email in a thread and then allow members to opt into (“follow”) a topic.

Monday I did a direct add to our group ?( nbtpchoir ) and received confirmation that it was approved and individuals would be notified. However there are still no individual members added. Does it normally take this long?

Thank You?

I found a Universal .css file that has the classes you can use to format your wiki pages. It is now available in files as bootstrap.min.css, for those of you who know css. You cannot edit the css source but you van use what's listed.

Hi,

I have just created my first group and wish to be able to switch off a
member's ability to mute a topic as this is not desirable for this private
group. Is it possible to do this, please?

I see there is a link at the bottom of each message to allow this but, to
date, haven't been able to find a way of either disabling it or editing the
footer to remove the link!

Thanks for any advice

Richard Bartholomew

How do I close out a poll??
