Mark, Is it possible to put a photo directly into the email. Or a gif of some sort .. I will try here and see if it shows up. Cherrill I've learned that being kind is more important than being

Hi Jim, Hashtags are words that start with '#'. In the case of Groups.io, they only apply to the subject of a message. So, if you send a message to your group with the subject 'This is a sample

Hello I've just joined the group and had no problems doing so, but I do have two queries: 1. I don't understand what hashtags are or what they are for. Can you explain please? 2. I don't see any

I did not have any trouble joining your group. I have not looked completely over the website as yet; but I see there are quite a few groups already there. At some point, I suspect those groups will

Hello, There have been several new subscribers to beta in the last couple of days. If you're one of them, welcome! I'm always looking for feedback about groups.io. Did you have any issues

Mark, Oh, thanks for the tips! Especially signupgenius. I've been using forms in Google Drive to organize volunteer donations (food, prizes, etc.) for PTA events. A bit awkward but it works. A

Hi All, I've just pushed to the live site the changes to the pricing model that I mentioned last week. This means that free groups can now have private archives and can be unlisted. It also means that

Hi Mark, Thanks for creating this alternative email exchange service. I created a group and asked a few friends to join so we could kick the tires. A couple of issues. Members require approval to

That's already in the system. You can track each invitation, whether it's been accepted, and you can see what the receiver's email server has sent back to us. I appreciate the advice, even when it's

Mark, Possibly. The vast majority of PTA sign-ups are during registration (mid-August) or back-to-school-night (early September), depending on the school. There's usually a trickle throughout the

Sal, Thanks for the feedback. If you need the direct add for a one time thing, to populate the group, for example, you could pay the $10 for one month, add everyone you need, and then downgrade to

Hi Mark, Ideal for my PTA groups would be Basic, with Direct Add "à la carte" at a lower fee. Something well under $100/yr, that I can get into the budget, or find a parent to donate, or donate

Hey All, After gathering a lot of feedback, and doing a lot of thinking, I've decided to make some changes. I hope you'll like them. Here's what I'm considering: there will be two types of groups,
