I searched for this but couldn't find anything relating.

How often does the groups.io upload attachments to google drive? the reason i ask is,when i first set it up and posted a topic with an attachment and it up loaded immediately to google drive, since then i have posted a couple more topics with attachments and they still have not been uploaded to google drive. this happened the other day when i was testing google drive integration for our group.

thanks,

Hi

I searched for this but couldn't find anything relating. I have a group with a pending membership questionairre setup. Which (combination) of the moderator permissions gives a moderator the ability to see the +owner messages a pending member has sent so they can see the replies to the questionairre on the website?

I tried:

-Approve Pending Members

-Set Member Subscription Options (also allows access to the member list)

And also set them to receive all owner emails but that didn't allow them to see the +owner messages "tab" on the member's page.

Thanks

If someone is confirmed, then anyone else can go to the groups.io
site and enroll them in any other group, without being that person.

In other words: "confirmed" is a function of groups.io membership, not of membership in a particular group. If someone is confirmed, then anyone else can go to the groups.io site and enroll them in any other group, without being that person. I assume that the only check on this is the subscription email the person will then receive, with instructions to unsubscribe if they did not request the membership.

Is that correct? Or do you sent out another confirmation email for that situation?

if you're not confirmed, the NC shows up for all your subscriptions.

Mark,

Please humor me for a moment. ;)

Yes, I understand the above. "NC" appears for all subscriptions if the member has not confirmed. But conversely, if they HAVE confirmed, just once, just for the first group they apply to, then NC appears for NO successive groups they apply for. "Confirmed or not confirmed" is a variable dependent on an email's membership in "at least one groups.io group," not in a particular groups.io group. (I can see this, for example, by banning a particular email address. If that email address happens to be a member of just one groups.io group, not even ours, then no "NC" appears after their name in the "banned members" list, even though they are not a member of OUR group; and conversely. Banning an email address is, I discovered by chance, a way to find out if a particular email address is yet participating in groups.io at all.)

That's the basis of my question. If I understand correctly, "NC" just means that the member has clicked on their confirmation email for the FIRST group they have applied to join. If they already belong to any other group besides mine, and they then apply to join mine, then if I understand correctly, and based on seeing what I see when I ban a particular email address, no "NC" appears after their name. And that, I have always understood (and as you say here), means that once I approve their membership, they have access to my group immediately. They don't need to "re-confirm." So I still ask: if a confirmation email still sent to a pending in this case - the case that they are already have a confirmed groups.io account (in the sense that they already have a subscription to at least one other group)?

I understand completely that a pending member does not have access to my group's content, even after approval, if they have not confirmed. (That has been a source of headache for me, as you know from the couple of times you've done me the favor of confirming already-approved members who could not for the life of them find their confirmation emails.;) That is not what I'm asking about. My problem is that it seems to me that once an email address has confirmed their "groups.io membership" (which I use to mean "is a member of at least one groups.io group"), someone ELSE can go to the groups.io website and apply to join any OTHER group using the same email address, assuming  that no "confirmation" email is sent for every subsequent group someone joins or applies to, once they belong to at least one. On the other hand, if subsequent confirmations ARE sent for each group, then my question is, what does this change internally? It does not change whether or not "NC" appears by their name. Because once they're confirmed for ONE group, they are confirmed, period. (Again, my "proof" is what I see when I ban any email address that happens to belong some other group besides mine.)

I hope I am making my question more clear this time. Bottom line: If an email address already has a groups.io account (i.e., already belongs to at least one group), then is a new confirmation email sent out when they apply to join another group? If so, why (internally speaking), since the NC is already gone from their email address in general?

If this is considered inappropriate or "off topic" for beta I will be happy to take it private, but I presume at some point there will be someone else who encounters the same issue and perhaps for the same reason, so I'll try to help here unless directed otherwise.-- Brian

Jean,

         How are you reading your digests?   By this I mean are you using a webmail service through a browser or an e-mail client?  (It sounds like an e-mail client program, but knowing which one would be helpful).

         The fact that you are seeing this in messages coming in from two different e-mail addresses suggests to me that it's something "on your end" but it will probably take some back and forth to figure out what.

          If this is considered inappropriate or "off topic" for beta I will be happy to take it private, but I presume at some point there will be someone else who encounters the same issue and perhaps for the same reason, so I'll try to help here unless directed otherwise.

I am not seeing anything different. I've checked on desktop (safari) / desktop (firefox) / mobile IOS mail + gmail and Y! app (Y! and Gmail accounts) and it all looks same as it has for several months. I checked digests from several groups.

I wonder what else it could be?

I may have missed this somewhere, but did the font size recently get changed on the digest?  I am receiving the digest from three groups - one in Yahoo mail and two on AOL.  The fonts on all are now so tiny as to be almost unreadable.  I am reading on desktop and have made no changes to how my e-mail is displayed.  It was not this tiny previously - and I would appreciate it if the font could be return to the previous size.

"notify group" would be by the member posting the photo
