Thanks, Duane, makes sense. I can't see many people setting up a groups.io signature on my groups, they'll just use their irritating default ones.

Helen

Yes, Helen, this is only for the Groups.io signature.

Duane

This only works for signatures people have set up within groups.io, correct? There's no way to get rid of the tedious footers in some members' posts with quotes which are meaningful to them but which to me are just more to trim when I respond? (And yes, I used to do this myself, but I saw the light. Signatures in my dream group are one line long, consisting basically of a name).

Thanks.

Helen

It's not a pain for me at all, it's perfect. I prefer it the way it is now so don't want the automatic dropdown to disappear completely. I don't mind if this is an option for each group, but I don't want it to just go. Mine is always open because I've alway got people pending (who haven't responded to the questionnaire usually). I can see pending members, pending message and message on my laptop screen without scrolling and that works really well for me.

• I have been running a news and info email service for our village since year 2005 which went to paid subscription in year 2009 by subscribers request and consent. I know or have met most existing paid-up subscribers. The plain text emails are manually compiled and delivered by own mailserver via my service supplier, twice a day. Each is personalised as recommended by our South African Post Office which runs the internet spine in this country.

• So under existing conditions I need personalisation to lower the chances of my list emails going into a hole, or my list being blacklisted.

• Most important to me that our community is polite and friendly, emails mention the persons name. I want/need to say Dear Joe or Dear Prospective Member. I need to collect the prospective member actual names because quite often an email address is shared by several people. as in "Joe" <jandmjacobson@...> and "Mary" <jandmjacobson@...> and so forth. It seems that Grio will not process a request (silently) which seems to come from the same email address as an existing member (needs testing -tm)

• Around here a plain, bald  "Hallo" is a bit rude and disrespectful if you know the persons name. If a person has put in a join request then we have met! yes? Around here it is extremely rude to be called "Hey". That is what you say when you are not too sure which dog farted. As you may be aware, saying "Hi" in a list email automatically triggers the spam filters. as does 'too much' html and the mention of money.  I didn't make these rules.

• Not quite relevant here is that I do need to collect additional information from the prospective member and to send an invoice before the person achieves membership. This is more about the design of Groups.io front-end.  As things stand I am going to have to put up a form on another website, go through the processing and send an Invitation. But I cannot see how to hijack the Group.io subscribe process to insert my own form or whatever; between Subscribe and Accept/Invite.  

I don't understand this request. Like all member notices, the Pending Subscription notice goes TO the person requesting the subscription.

The invitation already does include the name of the person sending the invitation. Which other member notices are you suggesting adding this information to?

Not very intuitive to search this function to button More.

We already have an option of "All Posts By This Member" in the More menu. You can easily see which topics they started by choosing Collapse Topics from the Tools menu in the results of the search.

I know but it's hard to find. More intuitive to find this option to member profile.

Unfortunately, doing some of that can be super tricky and time consuming.

Can you explain why?

If the email have the same format but a domain different? If the user verify the old email?

I would like to be able to set a recurring event on a day on a particular week of a month. For example, every first (or second or third or fourth) Monday ( or Tuesday or Wednesday, etc.). I would also like to be able to copy an event and drop it on a new day/date with the new date automatically changed in the new event (the time of day would likely remain the same).

If I remember correctly, it didn't originally drop down automatically.  It was implemented so folks could save a click when there was something needing attention. I can see where it would be inconvenient for those groups that wait for information before approval.  Maybe this could be made an option that could be set by subscription/moderator or group?

Duane

I agree that the "auto expansion" if there is anything pending can really be a pain. Not everything can be addressed immediately if you are waiting on people replying to subscription questions, or other clarifications. Just a "flag" by the Admin button rather than forcing the drop-down would be so much nicer and easier.
