Mark Thanks. Yes, that works. Not ideal, as you say, because how is anyone to know to scroll down unless they're told to do so, but once one knows, it's fine. I note # of messages to reply to at my

That makes sense. But how will you deal with the message list? -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human

Replying to wasn't the focus, but of course, options could be "to sender" or "no replies" or to the "sent-to group" only. subgroups seem too clunky/restrictive to simply send msgs to admins or the

Not clear how this would work. What would happen when one of those people replies to the message? Suggest using a subgroup instead. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the

Suggest a function, such that adding a #TAG such as #admin_only; or #Alist_only -- that would limit/control to whom the message would be turned around (posting on the website is not addressed here.)

Oh, gotcha. I misunderstood because you mentioned that you were not using the Pending Notice until recently. Since the Pending Notice only exists in a restricted group, I figured you had a restricted

I'm not talking about the "Subscription Approval Notice" for restricted groups, I'm talking about the notice I get when someone joins a group that's not restricted. Duane

The information is included in the "Subscription Approval Notice" that you receive, regardless of whether or not you have an active "Pending Subscription Notice." -- J Messages are the sole opinion

Mark et al, Sorry, late to the huddle here, but I wanted to hopefully contribute something as well, as I really like this live experiment we are participating in. Regarding unnecessary time spent on

Whew, glad to finally see something to prove that you're only human! ;>) I still have a lot of admiration for you, and probably always will. Duane

Yes, I believe I said so in my post. This is consistent with how many online forums work -- for example, on forums where my picture is displayed next to my post, on most forums it always shows my

Still inconvenient, but rather than scrolling, try: 5. Use your browser's Find function (Command / Control and F keys) to again search for the the message number, i.e. 23876

Samuel, What Chris said, create two separate email accounts, one of the Group Owner the other for the Group Moderator, join them to your group, elevate them to owner and mod (or both owners), which

This is a bit jarring for me the way I use Message # also. When there are a lot of messages to read in a single group online, I like to switch to Expanded mode in Date Ascending order, so I can just

I know that this isn't quite what you were saying but there is a catch if an owner uses a temporary change in their Display Name for something like this. Samuel; in your case if you changed your D/N

Sure.

I received the email and after re-reading it and understanding what it said, I was trying to figure out why I got it! I don’t think any of my groups were set that way (but my test group might have

Last week I changed how we fetched messages from the database, to make it more efficient. This changed how the Message # function worked. Previously, if you typed in a message number, that message

I just realized this morning (yeah, I'm slow sometimes) that it would be useful to include this information in the subscription application when a person joins via web. I wasn't using the Pending

Hello As group owner, I uploaded some files to my group's Files section, and now it says (when looking at the list of files), "Uploaded By", with my own name in that column. I don't mind that people
