Re: Hashtag and Topic reply to overrides

Please let me know if you see any bugs or have suggestions for improvements.Mark, I'm finally getting to looking at this. I have not yet tested it, but my biggest and most immediate question is whether the hashtag would override the group setting that disables other reply options. My group is set to "reply to group" and has disabled other reply options, but I would like a hashtag to be able to set a topic to "reply to sender" and override that. My guess is this is not possible. Right? -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones.

Sticky Wiki available for other sections
Beth Weld
I have been using the sticky wiki to provide help for our members in various subgroups, and it would be great if I could put sticky wiki pages on sections other than messages. Even if there is only one sticky wiki (and yes, if I'm greedy, it would be nice to have one available per section), at least our members could use the information to get help no matter where they are. These would explain things like in the photo album section you can click over on the right hand side to change the sort order and make the albums more user friendly. People may not see or understand that feature, and it is great for albums that are updated monthly by date.
Thanks Beth

Why not set up your WIKI as Public and put a page with all of the public sub-groups' info listed there?

help email displays public sub-groups?
#suggestion
I'd like the ability for users to get a list of public sub-groups by sending an email to a new automated email address or the existing group+help email. I use the group+help email a lot but I am constantly having to tell people what sub-groups I have and how to subscribe to them by email.

Re: Calendar start day option?
Bob Bellizzi
You can call it a bananna and be just as wrong because sorry, groups.io is not a newsgroup according to the definition of a news group, which is a server linked to many other servers, continually comparing their content to other newsgroup servers and updating their info and passing on new info they have to the other servers. You can see much more at
https://computer.howstuffworks.com/internet/social-networking/information/newsgroup3.htm groups.io is a platform for listservs that may morph into online listservs. Each of our groups is unique and standalone but they all are capable of sending and receiving email besides the ability to add messages to them and read those messages online. But you can keep calling it a bananna. -- Bob Bellizzi Founder, Fuchs Friends ®

Re: Calendar start day option?
As far I'm concerned it's a newsgroup. Yahoo called their's a newsgroup and that's good enough for me! ;-)

Yes, but there is not a way to link to the member's profile as the "By" link does. All I'm suggesting it you make the new field optional, with a default of off. Thanks for your consideration. Peace, Tom

Re: Site updates

Hi Mark,
While the idea of including the "By" on the calendar is likely a good idea for some, maybe most, it is a very bad idea in our application. We have a single person doing most of the calendar entries, but they are not the one responsible for the event. Linking to their name will only cause confusion among the troops! I would like to suggest that this be an option on the Event build page and default to "Do not show By Name." With that said, having the ability to supply another member in the "By Name" field would be helpful for us and accomplish what I believe you were trying to do originally. Thanks for all you do. Peace, Tom

NEW: When viewing an event, show the person who created the event. -Is the event organiser a new piece of information we input when we create an event, or is it just the person who created the event - ie are these the same person? I have created events on our group (in that I added them to groups.io) but I am certainly not the 'organiser' of those events and hardly want this to be stated in the reminder emails. In our case there is no organiser, the events (on-air amateur radio gatherings) just happen and who ever is around joins in. Dave http://davesergeant.com

OT: groups.io has spoiled me
This morning I was driving along and my car’s ‘wiper fluid is low’ warning appeared on the dash, with the sound of a bell ringing. Fine, but then it dinged AGAIN and continued to ding about every couple of minutes for the whole ride. My immediate and (at first) unconscious thought was just to put in a request for a feature where the driver can press a button to indicate they got the message and the warnings should stop. It took me a nanosecond to realize, oh wait, this is not Groups.io beta! I can’t request that! This has become a common occurrence for me with anything technological. I am spoiled 😊
