Re: automatic save to membership page when approve pending sub
#suggestion
Tony Moody
Thanks for this J,
Yes, Please. I fully support it, as one of the most sensible, practical ideas to emerge here.
Together with your extension to Notes.
Hopefully there will be a way to 'put this all in a database'. I haven't looked at DB's much, so I do
not know the mechanism of loading a Groups.io database yet.
A problem which will loom is that any data like this will need to be GDPR ready. But this is
subject for a seperate rage. :-)
OK,
Tony

Subject : [beta] automatic save to membership
We record the answers to a required questionnaire from a pending member in the member's
page. These might include setting the display name and possibly the signature. But upon
approving the membership, the changes are lost. We must instead save the changes, taking us
completely out of the member page, and then go back in to approve the subscription. If we
simply approve, all changes are lost.
My suggestion is to automatically save changes to the member page if made in the same session during which the member is approved. Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. I wish I could shut up, but I can't, and I won't. - Desmond Tutu

p.s. Similarly with the Notes page. We record the complete questionnaire answers in the Notes. But upon saving the Notes, we are taken out of the member page and then must go back into the page to approve the sub. OTOH, approving the subscription without explicitly saving the Notes loses the Notes.

It works, but... It was not sending the message to any moderator that didn't have the Pending Messages notification enabled.It was my understanding the Pending Messages notification setting is for purpose of moderating incoming messages. Requiring the same setting for sending of Member Notices is not intuitive and is by far the more egregious bug. Much obliged on this end for fixing that, Mark! Bruce

Re: Invitation Message
Sharon Villines
[Name] and [Invite Email Address]
If they are in the boilerplate, can’t be deleted, and aren’t filled in when the invite is sent, why are they there if they don’t fill in? I copied into my initial query an invitation that was sent to one of my test email addresses. The one difference between the invite email and the other member notices is that we have a link in there that is custom to each invite to accept the invite. Where would that go if I eliminated the boilerplate?Could the link be the only thing that is entered when a custom invite is used?

The [Name] and [Invite Email Address] were never meant to symbolize variables that someone could use; they're just placeholders for the boilerplate that gets sent.

I tried Bcc Moderators when I rejected a posting that had no content earlier this evening (UK time)... and the others did receive it.
Having said that one occurrence isn't necessarily statistically significant. Time will tell if it's repeatable. Chris

Invitation Message
Sharon Villines
Another loud voice for a completely customizable invitation letter. The current one is redundant and makes no sense to many people I invite. Most of them are people who have been unsubscribed for spam. They pay no attention to the message because they know they haven’t unsubscribed. They consider the message to be spam!
This is what the letter that just went out with my letter in the middle instead of replacing the default. [Name] [Invitee Email Address] are also not filling in. I highlighted my invitation. Hello, You have been invited by Sharon Villines to join the Groups.io group Members@TVC.groups.io. The following message was included by Sharon Villines: Hello [Name],If you have questions about this invitation, send them to Members+owner@TVC.groups.io. To accept the invitation, please reply to this email, or you may accept the invitation on the website. If you are not interested, or if yahoo@sharonvillines.com is not your email address, please ignore this email. Cheers, The Groups.io Team

BCC All Moderators does not work
#bug
Mark -- One of the other subscribers to GMF reported that her Moderators were not being copied when she checked "BCC: All Moderators." I've been following up on that and it doesn't seem to work in my group, either.
I made my test account at GMail a Moderator and gave "him" all mail notifications. I then sent a Member Notice to myself and checked the "BCC All" box. It did not arrive...but I did get a second copy in my own mailbox. I even made "him" an Owner and "he" still didn't get the message. In fact the "BCC: All Moderators" checkbox seems to behave exactly like "BCC: Me." I subsequently put my test account on moderation and sent a note to the group from there to test the checkbox in the message rejection dialog. I asked all owners and moderators to report back on what happened. Same story...I got a copy but none of the other Owners or Moderators did. I could be missing something and perhaps others should also try this and report back. But at this point it sure seems like a bug. Thanks, Bruce

Re: List of invites sent
The only thing I wish were clarified is Cancel/Remove Invite - that can mean remove an invitation, but it also means "clean up your list by removing those that have accepted".I would love this wording to be changed for clarity. Frances
