Re: Another instance of "thread" Instead of "topic" (unfollowing)

No big deal. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones.

Re: #suggestion Allow owners more control over the Direct-Add initial email
#suggestion
John Pearce <jponsalt@...>
I don't think that's a bug. It appears to me that there is no "active" ckeckbox because it is always active. The control you have here is if you create a direct add notice it's added to the text. If you delete it or don't have one, the canned notice is sent without the additional text. I have a test member that I keep on special only just to test with. I removed it from the group then added it back direct add. It added the text (which I had never had before). A direct add notice does not show as active and there is not check box either. GIO adds the text if it's there and doesn't if one is not but the notice is still sent.

Re: Changing display name is logged as "changed moderator permissions"
#bug
Slight correction: both things are logged - "changed display name" and "changed moderator permissions" - even when only the display name has been changed.

Profile photo
#bug
Someone on GMF reported that they couldn't delete their photo in the profile for a group. I did some checking this morning and realized that the "Remove file" button doesn't work on the Profile Photo. For now, the work around is to upload a blank file.
Thanks, Duane

Very sorry your child has contracted the flu, Mark, strong hopes and wishes he will soon be better and you and your family stay well. Here is a little Gilbert and Sullivan cheer to brighten our early morning (it is early morning on the east coast of the US): Seen on face-book: I am the very model of effective social distancing! I’m very well acquainted, too, with living solitarily There’s lots of stuff to watch online while keeping safe from sinus ills Pandemics are alarming, but they aren’t insurmountable (Credit unknown) Ellen Moody

So the original sender MUST be validated before posting messages received via that original posting mbox. P.S. I don't see any way to "assign to the integration" our existing email address. The only option I see is to generate a new email address of the form groupname+int+gobbledegook@groups.io and forward our existing mbox to that. Which defeats all posting security AFAICT. If I'm missing something here please reply -- I don't understand how the "email integration" can be very useful for announce-only groups. Thanks.

Oh dear, Mark. Hopefully you can get him tested for the flu. If he's positive, he can then be prescribed an anti-viral medication. If he's negative, hopefully you can ask his doctor to test him for COVID-19. Take care, sending good thoughts your way!

Hi All,
Just a quick note that, like I'm sure with all of you, my productivity is taking a hit right now. Amongst all the craziness, our kids' school is closed for at least 3 weeks, and we're also dealing one of them having (hopefully only) the flu.

When re-sending an invite, allow changing any custom message that was sent originally
#suggestion
Our block group is organizing for the pandemic and trying to get the whole block involved. To that end, we are re-inviting many people who did not act on invites a long time ago. To to this, we are using "send again" from the Sent Invite page, but are discovering to our chagrin that the original (and now completely obsolete) custom messages sent to them years ago are going out to these people again. Hopefully I'm missing something, but I can't find a way to change it. I think the custom message should be editable when re-sending an invite.
