The requirements in relation to structuring links will vary enormously from one group to another. I would suggest simple links with associated (limited) explanatory text, but with the addition of an

This feature would make groups consultable. Of course messages from non-member should always be moderated. Ideally, the entire thread that results should be sent to the person who started it (unless

I do agree that email-commands are vital and practical, but because of the existence of (those darned) auto-responders we shouldn't make it TOO easy. Could you make it so that people would need a

Here's my idea for an improved links section layout. I was going to post it to the Yahoo! suggestion board, but I suspect it would gain more traction here. Back when Yahoo! Groups was created, people

I think the use of tags would be excellent, especially if they are searchable by search engines, which would in itself give publicity to Groups.io every time someone searched for a word used as a

Mark, I'll agree with this one on top. Reminders are useful in most of my types of groups. Assuming the existence of general Files storage (not on your list), if a reminder can have attached files

Mark, Without moderation I'd agree. But my Yahoo Groups that operate this way in fact receive very few non-member attempted postings (sometimes months between them), either spam or valid. In Yahoo's

Hi Mark, The top priorities for my groups are Scheduled Files and a Links Library. Thanks, Linda

Hi Mark, Here's a rundown of our needs. My groups are animal rescue related, so for our purposes we need links, files and spreadsheets. We are storing specific links to articles/blogs/etc related to

I like the reroute-to-owner idea. Then at that point give the owner the opportunity to flag them as spam. I'm all for avoiding those festering pits. Trish

Perhaps it'd be useful to share and talk about the feature roadmap for Groups.io, especially in light of the recent conversation. Here's what I've been thinking, please let me know your thoughts. -

Hmm, I have always been against allowing non-subscribers to post to groups, because that leads to dead groups that are festering pits of spam. I had not considered making it an option that those

Chris, I've no problem with it being opt-out, in the sense of having a place during the join and invite mechanisms where the option is pre-checked. But I believe that the option must be fairly

Mark, Ah, I was wondering how that differed from the group's posting address. Very important that messages to that address be moderated (at least optionally) - which I think you said has or will be

Hah. I literally LOLed at this. My wife and I have 13 month old twins, so, yeah, we generally are weary these days... Mark

Welcome to the group Trish! We already support the full list of email commands, just like Yahoo, except that we use a '+' instead of '-' before the commands (so groupname+join@groups.io, etc). You

There is not. But you can create an email integration, which is a unique email address, that can be used to send messages to the group. Yep. Mark

There should definitely be a mechanism for users to delete all of their content in a group on Groups.io. The question is whether it should be opt in or opt out. If someone needs to opt into the

walkraft, That's what the Invite mechanism does: sends the person an email. Their reply to that message adds them to the group's mailing list. Providing the person with the group's +subscribe address

markf@corp.groups.io sendis: I disagree with you. It doesn't have to be "new, modern and fresh". Just because english doesn't have a word for it (in dutch:degelijk), doesn't mean people can't
