Owner not showing up on member list
|
Maureen, I am the owner of a group.? Why do I not show up on the member list? If you're looking at the Members list of a subgroup, you may be an implicit owner of the subgroup, rather than formally a member of it. If you want to see yourself in the subgroup, go to the primary group and find yourself in the Subgroups page (the one in your primary group's Admin pages). Put a checkmark in your row,
in the column for that subgroup. If you're looking at the Members list of a primary group, then I'm not sure how you could be missing, unless you're not looking for the address under which you actually own the group.

I believe I have seen this issue discussed here before, but I come up with nothing when I do a message search.? I am the owner of a group.? Why do I not show up on the member list?I can think of no reason why you should not be present. Go to Admin>Members. On the resulting screen, pull down the blue "Members" menu at top left and select "Moderators." With the list of records thus restricted you should be able to find yourself. If you cannot get to Admin>Members then you either don't have Owner permissions or you aren't logged in. ? Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Maureen,
Does Groups.io think I am two different people?? Yes, that is exactly the case. Each email address used at Groups.io is tied to its own Groups.io account, and has its own set of subscriptions. As I look at the page, I am at the top right of the screen with one email and on the Members list with another email.? In your case you have two subscriptions in the group, using two different email addresses. One of them is a group Owner (the one that created the group) and the other isn't (the one copied in from Y!Groups). When you're logged in using the Owner address you'll see an Owner badge on the Home page button for your group: Both addresses should appear in the in the Members list, but only the Owner one should appear in the Moderators list. The default sort for the Members list is by joined date, most recent at the top. The address that created the group would then be at the end of the list. To make it easier to find the Owner address in the Members list you can click on the Joined column header to reverse the sort order, or click on one of the other column headers, or use the Search box. Will things get more confusing if I delete myself with the unwanted Yahoo! email and re-invite myself using the Owner email? The email address listed as an owner is already a member and doesn't need to be re-invited to the group, so I'm a little confused by that part of your question. Removing the Y!Mail address would be the simplest way to clarify things, but it has some downsides. That subscription owns the content (Files and Photos) transferred over from Y!Group under its address. As a group owner your other address can edit and delete that content anyway, so that isn't such a big deal. If you were a mere member of the group you might be more interested in retaining your ability to edit or delete those items. There is a vulnerability if your group has only one account listed as Owner, if something happens to that account. If you've not promoted anyone else in the group to Owner position, and you're not yet ready to do so, you might rather promote the subscription of your Y!Mail address to the Owner role so that the group has two Owners. That still leaves the group vulnerable because there's only one person behind those two Owner subscriptions, but at least it is safe from some kind of problem with one of the two accounts. If receiving group messages at both addresses is annoying, you can always set one of them to No Email, and uncheck all of its Moderator Notices. As owner you can do that through the Members list by clicking on the row for that subscription. Or, you can use the Subscription page to edit the subscription of whichever email address you are currently logged in with.

I never bothered to scroll down far enough to click over to another page.In your particular case, you might want to change your Preferences under your Account to show 50 Items Per Page.? (This effects messages, databases, etc.)? It may again become a 'problem' when you have 51 members, but hopefully by then you'll be quite familiar with Groups.io. ;>) Duane -- Help: /static/help GMF's Wiki: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Search button at the top of Messages list A few site FAQs: /static/pricing#frequently-asked-questions |

Maureen,
We wanted a fresh start so I simply copied an email list of theDo you mean Direct Add, and that you didn't actually use the Easy Group Transfer process? So, I don't think there will be any serious consequences of removingNope. If there is (and will be) no content (Files, Photos) copied into your Groups.io group by the transfer agent then I don't see any consequence to removing your Y!Mail membership. ... until yesterday when I made one of the other members an owner ...That took care of the one advantage you might have gained by keeping a second address in the group.
