Mark, if we cannot all understand and accept that life is upended for everyone no and for the foreseeable future, we're in trouble. I do believe that at the end of this, there will be some good that

Jim -- I'm not aware of a system message that contains anything of this nature. Are you sure it's not a problem with one of your own Member Notices? Could you please send us a copy of what you're

I just Direct Added a block of subscribers from our old system, and received several emails from distressed people saying, e.g. "I have no idea what my password is and didn’t see this until the 120

And the additional confirmation message adds another order of magnitude to the issue. It’s bad enough with just the pending questionnaire issues, but that seems like a necessary evil. The NC makes

I agree entirely with that... the only problem is that it is quite common to get no response to the Pending Subscription message; even a couple of reminders can fail to get a response. Chris

Exactly! I've complained about the text of the confirmation email many times before. It says to click to "complete your membership." In the case of a restricted group with a questionnaire, it does not

The text of the Groups.io Confirmation message leads many applicants to believe they only need to respond to 1 email. | Hello, | | Thank you for your interest in Groups.io and the group

[Mod note: One way to solve this is to put everyone on digest and then for really important messages, send them out as special notices. I approved this message as a start to a discussion as to whether

The system doesn't have to keep track of whether or not a member returned a questionnaire. I use a pending membership questionnaire in my groups and I, the owner keeps track to see if one was

My preference as well but may not really be doable, since it would require the system to keep track of whether or not a member returned a questionnaire. I think, though, that the group approving a

This would be my preference for a change to the system. Duane

In fact, maybe this has been discussed before but it seems that in a restricted basic group, if the group requires a response to a questionnaire and receives a response, that should be sufficient to

My understanding is that NC members can't receive or send group messages until they are confirmed, even if their membership has been approved. Yet according to the logs, NC approved members are

Premium restricted groups have a "confirm" button for new members who have applied by email and have not found and clicked on the confirmation email. But basic groups do not. My block group, which is

The request is written up as a specific requirement but, in reality, this is a universal issue. A more general way to summarize this request is as follows: If I edit "xxx" and do not "Save" but do

This is in response to the GMF thread topic Pricing Too High, Storage Too Low, for groups.io I am a very small operator with a couple small free groups (33 and 15 members) and can't afford $20 ...
