Maybe this could be made an option that could be set by subscription/moderator or group?

Either that or just a general flag next to the admin tab that signals that you have something to do there...

Sure would like to see more integration of the hashtag concept.

´ll create a new moderators adress and will send those scripts monthly, but each at a different time.

That's not going to help you. I suggest you take this up in GMF. I have some ideas for you but this is not on-topic for beta.

Thats why I liked the recurring mail tool in YG where small instuctions how to handle this or that could regularly be sent,

You can do that in the Group Guidelines.

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

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.

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 ...."

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

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?
