That's not needed as long as you change the address.? It's only a problem if you try to merge a new address with an old one.

Also, don't delete your old email address before you create your new one in case you have problems.? That way you can get back in with your old if your new doesn't work.? So do a second email addy, use your old email address to change the status of that new address from member to Owner.

Andy gave you a link to the instructions.

If during the process, you get a notice that the destination address already has a groups.io account and asks you if you want to merge them, don't do it. Delete the destination account first and start over.
?
If you proceed with the merge, you'll lose all that account history that you're trying to retain.?

Yes! Having at least 2 owners avoids all sorts of problems, and if it¡¯s a larger group with lots of messages, having a few moderators helps too.

Change my email address?

 

Where in the owners¡¯ manual can I find instructions on how to change my email address? I am the owner of a group I started in November 2019. I only want to change my email address, not my status as owner, not my username, not my ¡°joined¡± date and status, . . . just my email address. Is this possible? And, once I¡¯ve completed that, I want my email in the GroupManagersForum to also move over to this new email address.

Advice?

Randy

The first hurdle is to know whether the original owner wanted the group to continue.? As strange as it may seem to some people, that is often their intent when they don't have co-owners.

It depends on the sort of group, but I would send a message asking if anyone¡¯s interested in starting a new group and take it from there.

If there is no other owner, you can start with talking to the family of the deceased dead owner to see if they have access to his passwords and account. The family could name a long time active member as an owner. Easy to do. You can find the instructions in Help for them.?
Once there is a new owner, make sure that at least one spare owner is created.

Here's what the FAQ in Help says:

How to add Owners/Moderators when Owner has died

 

Hello, folks. I'm hoping someone can point me to information on replacing a deceased group owner with one or more owners/moderators. We unexpectedly lost our group owner recently, and I can't find anything on the IO groups material for how to add an owner when the original owner has died. Thanks.

Just to be clear, you can get the notifications through a browser when enabled and don't need the app.

That should be correct.? There may be an alternative that he could use.? See bullet 4, Receiving web/app notifications for specific topics, on the Hashtags Uses page.

My personal solution to this would be to have two accounts (so two email addresses arranged to deliver into the same inbox) - one account receiving the daily summary and one account receiving only the required individual messages.

I've never used the app so can't say whether that offers a better solution.

best, Malcolm.

Getting messages with a specific hashtag when your settings are daily digest notification #hashtags #notifications

 

Hello

I have a question from our programmer about GroupsIO. He has configured GroupsIO to send him individual messages with an #Escalate tag that we have created but...
?
"I still get no email notifications for messages marked with the #Escalate hashtag. I guess is not configured internally to send such notifications if I configure my account to send daily digests instead of individual messages. If you can ask the support why that is, it would be greatly appreciated"
?
Can anyway answer his question please?

Thanks and a Happy New Year to you all

Following your suggestion solved the mystery!?

I didn't notice that the first letter of one of the two usernames was capitalized. This led me to look closer at both email addresses and sure enough, one was slightly different. The issue was being compounded by my iPad's tendency to auto-sign in with the wrong ID. I'm using it with the which is excellent, but sometimes it will auto-fill a saved login incorrectly when it is similar enough to another saved one.

Thanks for your assistance, everyone.

Re: Can't Sign In as Admin on an iPad #groupowner #ios #membership #notworking #owner

 

Retrofial

this really seems like some user error and there¡¯s two users.?
?
when you logged in on the pad and it first happened, were the email address and pw auto-filled or did you manually enter them? ?possibly there are two email addresses - the incorrect account being one character typo off of the other?

Verify the email addresses used on all devices when signed in. ?Send a message from the user profile page on all devices.?
?
when signed in on a ¡°good¡± device, make some inconsequential change to your owner account and save it. It¡¯s somevsnafu perhaps that will reset things and the ipad sign in will get to the correct account - MAKE SURE you log out and loge back in with the correct credentials.?
