Re: Anonymous Polling

 

Thank you Duane and Peter.

I was hoping we could do a poll where an admin and/or owner could not look at how the members voted. Kind of stymmies people from voting if they know that admins and owners can all see how they voted. Seems like it would not be a difficult thing to implement just toss the 'who' part of the responds to a trash bin folder.

With Kind Regards.

Well, here's a why allow emails from non-members of the group.

I belong to several groups related to committees for my housing. ?On occasion, someone who is not a committee member will want to contact the committee. We allow non-members to send messages so the committee can read it for themselves. I remind them that the person won't get replies. I summarize what we want to share and email the person.

They are moderated, but it happens rarely.

They weren't replying to any message, as they can't receive messages from the
group as a non-member (they never saw a post from the group). They were only
sending a message TO the group, and the group settings apparently allow for
that, but those messages are moderated. This prevents spamming the group by
non-members.

I don't understand why a group would allow this option since the non-member
can't really participate and receive replies to his/her post anyway, but it is
an option (sometimes set because this was overlooked when setting up the group).

I looked in badges and don't see "IL". He properly has NMM as do the others.

/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/additional-information/member-badges-and-topic-icons?single=true
I looked in Beta group and couldn't see anything.?

Anyone know about this IL in Members in Admin?

Any clue, Dario, if you go to the member's record in Admin? Anything in Notes? IL could be Italian language, but really that is a guess!

Information about members in a Mailing List

Dario Gabrielli
 
Edited

Good morning,

I have created a list on groups.io of people to whom I send messages regarding a Mailing List I own.

Looking at the list of subscribers to the group that I attach , I noticed that one person subscribed (Elio) in the email column appears two letters IL on a fuchsia red background. What does this mean?

Thanking

Dario

Mod's note - while the screenshot was useful, it seems that it also was a privacy issue. Deleted.

I don't see where it was a reply they sent, just a message.

If needed.? Many are now using Sponsorship to pay, even if it's the owner doing it.? That way you don't have to leave a credit card number in the system here, or can use Paypal.

Re: Any way to temporarily "suspend" or turn off access to a sub-group?

I'm not in the mood to screw up my main group and it scares me that it says "lock this group" and NOT "lock this sub-group" so I'll leave it for another day to "experiment" if it will really lock the sub-group and not the main group.
_._,_._,

When in doubt look at the breadcrumb trail panel up top, it shows you where you are.? For example,



If you see Main in there in the second part (after the | ) or whatever else you may have named the main group, then you are not in a subgroup but in the main one.

AOL filters the spam mail and gio is not ¡°blocked¡± in my settings. ?AOL nortoriously sends stuff to my junk folder even if the address is not on the list to block.?

The only way I have circumvented this is to put spammed e-dresses in my AOL contact list!

If there is another way to cross the moat, please advise! ?
Yrs back AOL had many more spam blocking options than currently. ?Like domains, ¡°containing¡± words, etc. And could white list. ?

Re: How do I Pay

 

Remember to ensure that your payment source is current and active.

Under Admin > Billing you can check to see which card you paid with and, if it's expired you can update it if neccesary before the billing due date.

OK ¡ª HTH

Andy,

No, they were not shoing up, but....

I refreshed the home page of my just-set-up new group one more time and, ah-HA, the posted messages all finally showed up, so all is well!

Cheers!

Re: Any way to temporarily "suspend" or turn off access to a sub-group?

 

Remember that Groups uses the common noun "group" to refer to ALL groups - both main and subgroups. If you are in the settings for a subgroup, then whatever you are seeing referred to as "group" is the subgroup. So, if you are locking or unlocking a subgroup it will always ask you "Lock this group" - it means the subgroup, not your main group.

"Lock this group? Locking the group prevents any changes to the group, including messages, files, photos and databases."?

If you have previously registered a credit card and you are set up as payor for both groups, payment will occur automatically on the due date. If there's a problem charging the card you will be sent a notification...if I remember correctly there's a two-week grace period.

On your screen shot, you'll see lower down in the "Your Group Features" panel that next to Integrations it says Not Enabled, so you don't have them.? If you had signed up for a free trial group, you'd have most of the items for 30 days, but they'd quit working after that unless you pay for the group.? New free groups are much more restricted than those from 3 years ago.

Re: Anonymous Polling

 

There are 3rd party polling services you can use. I've used them in the past, but they are not completely opaque, either. In some cases, you might be able to see who voted, but not how they voted.

Sort of.? You can select "Do not show who responded to the poll."? However, an admin can go in and change that at any time, even after a poll has closed, so it's not 100% guaranteed.? I suggested several years ago, but I just tested and it's still the same.

Re: "From" In group email messages

 

On messages going to spam, need to unblock groups.io.? The only time you'd need to add to your address book is if you got an answer that marked as spam, after using 'reply to sender'.? That will send to the person's email vice the group.? Check spam filter before dumping it.
