Viewability of subgroup by parent group members 14
Correct me if I¡¯m wrong: It is not possible to set up a subgroup such that parent group members who are not also subgroup members can view subgroup messages.

Calendar subscriptions Problems 4
#Calendar Is there a for individual members to not have calendar invites sent to them? Is there a way for calendar emails to be sent, but not .ics or other files that load into people calendars? A person left the group, but claims they are still getting calendar invites? Essentially can we have a calendar, with email notices, but nothing that tries to sync with people¡¯s calendars?

Changing Mail Preferences 7
I think I remember an option when I first joined, to receive only the first message in each thread. I can't find anything now about how to set that option for myself. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Lucinda

Online Safety Act (UK) 19
A member of our forum has contacted me to ask whether there is likely to be any problem for us, or others like us, under the UK's new Online Safety Act, due to come into force next year https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-safety-act-explainer/online-safety-act-explainer (more info at https://www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/resources/documents/online-safety/information-for-industry/illegal-harms/overview-of-regulated-services.pdf?v=387540 ) He's anxious because he's seen other hobby/fan groups talking about closing down because they think it will be too difficult to comply, or prove that they comply, with its terms. I doubt a bunch of ageing cricket statisticians is the primary target of the Act, but as far as I can make out we fall under the category of a user-to-user service with user-generated content. Has anybody looked into the implications of the Act for forums on groups.io? All the best Harriet Monkhouse

Is there a way to keep track of who is unsubscribed 4 #addmembers #subscription
Hi, I am the moderator for the groups.io community for a membership organization that has under 500 members. I appreciate so much about the functionality of groups.io but this one is stumping me. Periodically I update our groups.io member list by bulk-adding the entire list of emails of paid members to our organization, to our groups.io community. That's is a sensible way to make sure that new members and members who have used a new email when they re-upped their membership are added to the online community. Sometimes members choose to unsubscribe -- no problem, and my members are happy to use the automated "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of a message, that's fine. On other online communities where I've been a moderator, the system keeps track of people who have "unsubscribed" so that they cannot be re-added automatically by a moderator, but they can choose to re-subscribe themselves. Basically, their email addresses stay in the member database with an "unsubscribed" status. With groups.io, that doesn't seem to be the case -- if someone unsubscribes, their email address leaves the system. So, when I bulk-add the list of emails, they are resubscribed. Oops! I really, really don't want to have to keep my own separate spreadsheet of people who have unsubscribed, so that I can manually remove them from my bulk email list when I do additions. That seems like madness. Right now the only "solution" that looks at all viable to me is that if someone "unsubscribes", that I elect to send them an email saying, please let me re-subscribe you and set your account to receiving no emails, as that will have the same effect but protect both of us from annoyingly resubscribing them when I do my bulk updates. Does anybody else face this issue? Does anybody have another solution they are using or that they would propose, that involves as little ongoing manual maintenance on my part as possible? Thanks for advice.

Reverification Successful 2
I have a group that has not had any new posts (messages) for six months. Recently, the group has decided to be more active with posting. As a result, I've looked at the membership list to invite a few more members. While there, I noticed a couple members have the "RS" by their names. From reading Groups.io help FAQs about Reverification, it looks like I don't need to worry about the RS being by their names. Will the "RS"s go away eventually?

exporting data 8
Hi friends, 1. Is it possible to get a list of all topics in my group as owner/admin and export it? 2. Is there an easy way to make a printable list of a selection of messages including its meta-data and message-number and (if possible) a picture of attachments? Best regards, Chris

Question on Pricing - how are members counted? 5
We're currently on the basic, free account and considering upgrading. Our main group has about 300 members. We have 7 subgroups which have 5 to 225 members in each subgroup. These subgroup members are all in the main group of 300. If we upgrade to premium will the cost be based on just the main group members? Or on the members in the main group and all the subgroups even if there are many duplicate names? Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

using groups.io to do a survey 2
I seem to remember seeing once that Groups has a facility to do a survey, but can¡¯t find anything about it in the Owner Manual. Does the facility exist and, if so, how does one use it?

How to set one member to Override: moderated (Save Button missing) 5
Hello all. I've read the documentation on how to change a member from "Use Group Moderation Setting" to "Moderated" however, the process is not working as per the docs. Click Admin, then Members. Find or Search for Member, then Click the Member. Scroll down to Posting Privileges. Change Moderation as needed. Click Save. The problem is that the Save button does not appear: I do not want to 'send message' or 'ban' or 'cancel' -- I want to SAVE. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance! - Scott

How get to groups.io home page -- not my groups page 9
I wanted to check features available with various groups.io service levels. Entering groups.io takes me to /groups -- my groups. Deleting "/groups" takes me back there. I used another browser -- not logged in -- to get to groups.io -- but is the only way to get there to not be logged in? Would be nice having link on my groups page to get to groups.io main page. -- Gabriel Goldberg, Computers and Publishing, Inc. gabe@... 3401 Silver Maple Place, Falls Church, VA 22042 (703) 204-0433 LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/gabegold

Upgrading questions 10
Hi, We're an all volunteer dog rescue organization currently using the free groups.io. We've been using it awhile and seem to have a legacy account which gives us more features than the current basic account. However, we keep running out of room in 1 particular subgroup and then have to do a lot of shuffling in order to add more files to keep up with the growing number of dogs we take in. Other than pricing, is there anything we should be concerned about? If at some point we can't continue to afford the fees, will we be able to easily downgrade to basic again? And if so would it be the current basic or to the legacy account we currently have? I haven't been able to find anywhere to ask these questions of a groups.io employee, but if you have an email or number that would be very helpful.

Billing 2
I don't see a "pay" button on the billing page. Does groups.io just automatically charge the card you have on file? Thanks.

Establish different owner email address for 2 owned groups 2
Hello, I'm relatively new to groups.io but and I'm already owner of 2 different sites, and a member of 4 other sites. I recently started growing one of the new sites, and saw that my email address associated with it was not what I wanted to be so I instituted a change, which merged the sites and now all the groups I belong to or manage all reflect the same email address for me. I would like to have 2 distinctly different email addresses for me associated with the 2 sites I am the owner of. Is this possible, and if so how would I implement that? Thanks! Mark

Problem with Payment Method HELP NEEDED 7
I went to update payment method as the CC is no longer valid. After what I thought was a successful update, I went back to billing and there is no payment method shown. I click on payment method and it only takes me to the home page for the group. I also have $135 in the reserve to go towards payment. I need to ensure this is applied to the $220 fee so my personal card is only charged $85.00, -- Ken Adams Plastic Freight Car Builders (PlasticFreightCarBuiilders.groups.io) Owner and Moderator
