Re: Phishing warnings
I believe I got that as well, or somethingn like it when loged in with safari. I heard "infection detected." or something like that. I cant' remember the exact warding, but just letting you all know I also got somethingn similar as well.

Re: could invitation text be moved

Kevin, Victoria,

I join you here. And I'll once more try to explain that all custom text (not only the invitation, but also message footers) should go *before* the built-in stuff. Thus we will make users' life with no or limited English much easier. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: menelion_elensule Twitter: @m_elensule; Facebook: menelion

Re: Phishing warnings
Today, in the further education of Mark... My findings so far: https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/groups.io/ shows that Norton is blacklisting us. If you go through their site, the URL that they say is causing problems is this page: https://groups.io/g/OHRegionB/message/1538 (don't worry, it really is safe to click on). I have gone through the site ownership procedure and claimed Groups.io and have initiated a dispute. We'll see if that helps. On Fri, Feb 23, 2018 at 2:01 PM, Shal Farley <shals2nd@...> wrote:

Re: Phishing warnings
Mark,
Already did. ;-) It has a selector for whether I'm "just saying" or I'm the site owner. I didn't take the latter path, but perhaps you should arrange to do so.
Maybe. In GMF it was reported that top known posterid has leapt from 700K to 1.6 M in just a couple days. That's a lot of newbies. I'd hate to suspect a smear campaign, but the tone of some of the warnings I've read... Shal

I am baffled. I did a lot of Y! Group transfers over the past two days, working through the backlog. Maybe that was it?
If I go https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/url and input groups.io, I get a phishing warning from a place called PhishLabs, which I've never heard of.
Hmmm. What a day.

When I log in with Firefox, I get pretty much what Shal describes. AVG gives me this warning: We've safely aborted connection on www.groups.io because it was infected with URL:Mal . More threats may be lurking! Threat name URL:Mal Severity 1 of 3 URL http:www.groups.io Process C:\Program Files (X86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Detected by Web Shield Status Connection aborted Interestingly, when I log in with Epic Privacy Browser I don't get any problems.

Re: Phishing warnings
Hello. I’m also experiencing the blocking/malware warning situation, using Firefox on Windows 10. I can’t get to groups.io currently. I run Avast Free Antivirus. Here are some screenshots, in the order they appeared, from when I tried to go to https://groups.io a moment ago (I did click “I trust this website” in the first Warning message):
I get “site can’t be reached” messages from Chrome and Edge (but maybe it’s being worked on now?).
I can get to Groups.io in Chrome on my Android phone.

I just logged out and back in with Firefox. Neither time did I get a warning of any type.

Re: Phishing warnings
My groups.io stuff is still working - was on it all day and never closed it.
Mods and members can't get on the site. From one mod: From another: I can’t access the group at all right now as my security software has suddenly blocked Groups i.o. as a known malicious site. Also the member who can't access says all links to groups.io bring up warnings from Outlook about maleware (even the old digests) -- -LeeAnne ECIR Archivist

Re: Phishing warnings
Mark,
Never seen that before with Groups.io from Edge, but it has been at least a couple days since I tried it. I wonder "reported" by whom? Possibly confused or disgruntled transferees from a Yahoo Group? There have been mentions of distrust in the Y!Groups moderator groups. Shal

Facebook integration
Suggest some additional explanation be added to the Facebook integration page. All it says now is "Post updates from Facebook Pages to your group."
Should add some items such as:
Note: this integration only supports a public Page, not a Facebook group. Verify that the Page can be viewed without logging into Facebook.
The Page is polled hourly for updates. (or whatever the mechanism is so you know how long to wait to see if it's working)
Probably some other notes would be useful too.
Thanks!
Toby

Re: This morning's downtime
#outage
Hi Mark, Every time the site goes down, I can't get into groups.io any more by going to (verbatim) groups.io. I have to get in some roundabout way, like using "view/reply to this message online" etc. Otherwise, I keep seeing the cat pics and the obsolete error message. Is there an easy way to remedy this besides clearing my safari cache? Doing that is a big headache because I have to then log on everywhere else etc. Thanks.
