Re: yellow color makes hashtag unreadable - to back to orange?

Messages with the same Topic
weebeequilting <weebee.1@...>
I know this has been discussed before and I did a search and read the related messages. This is what is confusing me...When I reply to messages, I almost always use the reply function of my email client. It appears ONLY my messages are posting as a separate Topic which is requiring me to Merge them. I just ran a test and replied via my email client--it posted as a separate topic and then replied again directly from the group and that one ended up within the original Topic. I would really like to not have to log in to reply and also would like to not have to merge messages. I use Outlook on a Windows 10 computer. Thanks for any sage advice. Messages on my group are not moderated. Janice B AZ

files,,, needs to open in new window.
In my cat group, we like to compare testing from current to previous (we dont really do spreadsheets). If I open a file, it takes me away from my group page to the file. I cant open a second file without opening a NEW groups.io page to my group, and going back into files, and opening a second file. And if I wanted to open a third and compare it, I have to repeat this whole tedious process. And nope, I dont want to download all these files to my personal computer to be able to look at them in open windows.

Re: don't figleaf email addresses in private replies
#suggestion
Maria, Thanks, you're absolutely correct. I never even tested this. I just assumed it would be figleafed in a private response as well. It's not. This actually solves a lot of the problem that I'd thought was there. If someone wants to send someone else an email address, they can do it in a private response. But I'm still glad that Mark plans to make figleafing optional. I think it would still be useful to be able to post an email address onlist, for all those plumber recommendations.:-) Messages are the sole opinion of the author.

Hi J I just tested sending a private reply to another test member and in that reply I included an email address ( plumber example) and in the recipients inbox it was not figleafed. Where are you seeing emails - that are included in the body of the text -fig-leafed in a private reply? I can test more if that helps. Maria

Earthlink is blocking Groups.io
Hi All, Earthlink has been blocking us for the last couple of days. I've tried contacting them several times, and their autoresponder keeps telling me that we'll be unblocked within 24 hours. But it's been longer than 48 hours and we're still blocked. I will continue to try to contact them. You may wish to tell your Earthlink users to complain to Earthlink as well. Not sure if that will help, but probably couldn't hurt. Thanks, Mark

don't figleaf email addresses in private replies
#suggestion
This evening someone in a group other than my own asked me for a photo of one of my cats. It happens that the group is one that doesn't allow posting photos. I wanted to ask her for her email address so I could send her a photo (I don't subscribe to the group with individual emails), but realized I would have to explain that she would need to fake it out so that it didn't get hidden by groups.io, etc., and I ended up not bothering. It dawned to me that if I were to ask that she send me her email address in an offlist (private) response, there would be no real reason for the figleafing. (Of course, I've gone on record saying I don't think there's any legitimate reason to figleaf email addresses anyway, but I don't intend to open that can of worms again...) This suggestion is that until the figleaf optional setting is implemented, and perhaps even afterwards, email addresses not be figleafed in private responses. I realize the figleaf would probably have to be removed after the person hits the "private" button (I'm not sure at what point in the process the figleafing occurs in the first place), but this would make it easier for people to communicate email addresses to each other (for plumbers, each other, or whoever) without anybody worrying that they reach the archives.

Re: Merge Subgroups
#suggestion
Maria
Sorry - what I mean is merge members ( not messages) of one subgroup with another. As I write this it sounds like just creating a new third group and adding members of group 1 and 2 would be simpler... Just wondering if a bulk operation for that would be interesting? Maria

Merge Subgroups
#suggestion
Maria
Would it be possible to merge one subgroup in to another? So rather than creating a third group and adding members of subgroup 1 and 2 to #3 - just merge 1& 2 together to create #3? Maria

Include edits to pending messages in the Moderator Activity log
#suggestion
Mark,
When a moderator edits a pending message there does not appear to be any log entry of the event. I think there should be. I'd suggest the same format as the "approved" log entry, except perhaps for the Message # - which wouldn't have been assigned yet (and might never be if the message is ultimately deleted or rejected). Likewise in the Members' Activity History. Shal https://groups.io/g/Group_Help https://groups.io/g/GroupManagersForum

Re: Sticky Posts
#suggestion
Brian Vogel <britechguy@...>
I'll second this. Sticky posts are used seldom, and are generally for information that's important and doesn't change much or often. Having these messages keep a prominent place in the various views is common practice, and for good reason.

Hi Mark,
Bumping #603 & #5019. I'd like to see the first post of a thread marked "Sticky" pinned at the top of the Messages View and the Expanded View. Shal https://groups.io/g/Group_Help https://groups.io/g/GroupManagersForum

Re: Search when you type object of topic
Benoît,
This could be very useful for help-oriented groups. UserVoice, among other services, does a pretty good job of this when you pause while typing in the "Your suggestion here..." box.

Re: moderator option

Hi Mark,
I see a lot of options for moderators but not this one, so therefore I sent it to Beta. As a suggestion to add such an option.

If you have the files section set to only allow owners/moderators to upload, you could make your member a moderator and only give him the permission to upload files.
Generally this is the type of question that should go to GMF@ or Group-Help@ and not Beta@.
