Re: Groups.io is down ...
Thank you all. So I'll just proceed as usual, only I'll send my postings from my gmail. I am confused about time: how does pacific time 11 pm translate into daylight savings time on the east coast? Ellen

Event: Website outage #outage - Tuesday, 21 August 2018
#outage
#cal-invite
main@beta.groups.io Calendar <main@...>
Website outage #outage When: Description: At approximately 6:50am, the website started to become unresponsive. Internally, the web servers were rebooting because they were running out of database connections. I originally thought that this was a database issue, but after much investigation, I was able to track down the problem. A fix I pushed to the site yesterday afternoon affecting Chat was now causing database connections to leak. I have temporarily disabled the Chat function until I can fix the bugfix. Email delivery was not affected during this time. I will post a post mortem either later today or tomorrow, after I've reinstated Chat and had some time to consider what, if any, changes to make based on this outage.

-------Original Message-------
Dear People,
I just read that Groups.io is down for maintenance. We were informed it will be back by 11 pm pacific time and 4 am UTC (? -- I don't know what that is).
So, 1) When will groups.io be back EST or daylight savings time?
2) Is it better to wait until the site is back up again before posting again? or does it not matter if one posts now and then the messages come through when the site is back up?
I hope this goes through

This went through fine, and so did a couple of messages I just posted to my groups, so I believe whatever the issue is, it's not affecting everything. Barb

Re: Virus scanning

I agree with this Mark.

Subject: [beta] Virus scanning Hi All,
I've been testing virus/phishing scanning the last few weeks and I'm pretty
confident that it's catching what it should. In testing, it's scanning all
emails, all uploaded files and photos. And right now, if the sender is not a
subscriber, it drops any emails it finds has a virus or phishing attack.
My default implementation would be to turn it on so that it blocks all
emails, files and photos that it finds has a virus or phishing attempt. Do you
see any reason to not do it this way?
The scanner I'm using is here: http://www.clamav.net/
Thanks,
Mark

Re: Virus scanning
I have mixed feelings on this. Will it be possible to disable the virus
scanning on individual groups. Yahoogroups had virus scanning (probably a far inferior system to what you are proposing) and we always disabled it. Apart from the odd occasion when members had their Yahoo emails hacked we never had any issues with viruses getting through. But my groups are private groups with membership needing to be approved. Maybe different for public groups. Likewise with my email, I have disabled the server side filtering and do it all myself with Mailwasher.

Log direct-add message just as invite message is logged
#suggestion
Invites are logged as "invited xyz with message pqr." Yet direct-adds are just logged as "invited xyz," without logging the message sent.
It would be helpful to log the message in that case as well. -- J

Re: override user posts
Steve,
... cant find Settings -> etc.It is in the Admin pages, on the left below Subscription and above Messages. If you don't see the Admin pages then you do not moderate the group (or do not have the needed permission); in which case sorry - that's a group setting and you can't change it. So I guess in that case what you're asking for is the equivalent function, but as a Subscription setting for each individual member. Shal

Re: Site updates

OTOH I guess you could keep counting the (non-operational) tags even when hashtags are disabled, and do everything else you'd normally do to them, just in case they're enabled again. It seems like more trouble than it's worth IMO.

Re: Site updates
#changelog
So do you want any messages created between the time that hashtags are disabled and then re-enabled to be counted in the stats (etc.)for the hashtag(s) that had been temporarily disabled?
You have, say, 48 topics with #tagX. You disable hashtags, time goes by, and 50 more messages are created with #tagX and the tags are treated as plain text. Then you enable hashtags again. Does the count for #tagX still show as 48, or do you want all of those 50 topics to be added to it? If so, it's a PITA for the system. If not, then the hashtag count is incorrect. I think there are other issues but that's the first one that comes to mind. -- J

Re: Site updates
#changelog
As I said in my suggestions, "When selected, "#anything" would be treated as plain text." So if hashtags already exist in your group and hashtags are disabled, they just become plain text. They are not removed, not invisible, they are just text. If hashtags are enabled again, then they are processed as hashtags.
I know this is a very simplistic view, but conceptionally processing the subject line would work like this: Are hashtags disabled? No - proceed with current processing (no change) Yes - go X, where X bypasses the hashtag processing routine The same would happen when displaying the sidebar. If disabled, no Hashtag tab is displayed. So the hashtag page does not "go away" but is just not displayed. If enabled, they would again display. New hashtags would be processed according to the group settings. Hope that makes it clearer. Peace, Tom
