Can Moderators be given ability to edit members signatures?
Hello, J.
I wouldn't have believed that we could have accomplished this, and we started it as "optional" in the beginning, but now all our group members have a sig containing their cat's name, gender, age, weight, diagnosis, diagnosis method and date, current meds with dosages, and "other health conditions." It only takes 2-3 lines and is incredibly convenient. We don't have to ask, "Well, how much of x are you giving him, and how much does he weigh?" and wait for the answer, which sometimes is not forthcoming, and we don't have to go searching through past threads. We can just say, "I see you're giving x amount of y and he weighs 10 lbs, you could ask your vet about increasing that to ...." In health groups this is a very important tool. We started this in Yg many years ago and no one ever complained. Some of them just forgot it sometimes.Thats why I liked the recurring mail tool in YG where small instuctions how to handle this or that could regularly be sent, f. e. how to create the signature and which exact information we need to be in it.

I think the "last" weekday of a month, e.g. the last Thursday, (some months have 5) is an issue.

Re: Can Moderators be given ability to edit members signatures?
p.s. Also unbelievably, not one person in the group has complained about this. To the contrary, they took to it immediately and they seem to appreciate not having to repeat the basic info about their cats in every message.

Also, the mods themselves can now get rid of the irritating default sigs (like mine lol;) -- J

Re: Can Moderators be given ability to edit members signatures?
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.

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

Re: Can Moderators be given ability to edit members signatures?
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

Re: Left-hand Menu Request
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.

Re: Can Member Notices be personalised
Tony Moody
Sure J,
It goes to the email address
of the person applying.
I must also say that Groups.io has become too complicated, err, feature rich. A year ago I
migrated from YG and set it up up as Announcement only group and that was a pleasure. The
thought of changing this to a real-time group is both exciting and very desirable, but as it is, is a
most daunting task due to the plethora of choices, effects of which are sometimes quite
obscure.
Finding GMF Help page and the 'sandpit' page has been very helpful in learning and
understanding. My suggestion is that there be tiered instructions, Terse on the page: Helpful
guides in tooltips : Verbose as per GMF Help : Operating manual in excruciating detail to plod
through when required.
OK,
Tony

No data was lost during the datacenter downtime on Friday. Thanks, Mark

The Summary should say 'Monthly on the Second Monday'. Cheers, Mark
