If I'm honest I am now wondering about the wisdom of that idea, for reasons triggered by Shal's comment. I simply cannot work out in my own head what the optimum (for which read least annoying)

Seems to me that the hashtag's "lock topic" mechanism is best reserved to address Chris's concern about people replying to the notification (ref: https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/25438). For that

Suppose I want to get web/app notifications for the tag #fixed in beta, to see when bugs (including ones I might have reported) are marked as #fixed. I don't think this would work because as I

Another thing I have noticed (testing some file uploads) is that if you lock the file upload topic in the archive and then do another upload: a) the upload completes OK b) a message is placed in the

I ran into this bug this morning. A member was Moderated. I changed him to NMM, but the badge hasn't changed. I've gone back in to verify that his page actually says NMM. Thanks, Duane

For the record, I am loving the new push notification functionality. No longer do I have to go into the site, or check my email, to see that there's a message pending approval, etc. It just alerts me,

I've just discovered a serious problem with these notifications. They all bypass the group setting of moderating all messages. It's causing mayhem for several group owners. Thanks, Duane

Dave, just to avoid misunderstandings: The above citations are Duane´s words. I cited them twice unintentionally and I fully underline them. In my message I then tried to specify the requirements of

And there has been a flurry of postings on here as well, most of which I deleted.... The only notifications I NEED are new membership requests for approval and the linked 'new member' one. I don't

I did an informal survey of some of my members. No one wants any/all these notifications sent to them. They don't care what goes on behind the scenes, they just want useful information that is

Sandi, It's not perfect, but as a stopgap you can set the Wiki notifications to No Email, or put them on moderation and delete them in Pending.

Michael, I never thought you did. I was applying that label to my own statement, not to anything you said. On the contrary, if a member doesn't know how to use the available features, then they can

I called no names. My intent was to be anything but impudent, impertinent, insolent, cheeky, audacious, or in any way rude. I was acknowledging that some people might like these Notifications. I do

I was so late to this party that the above just struck me. I didn't realize, until looking more closely at my group's hashtag page just now, where I was at first perplexed to see that they ALL have

Bob, Of course! I certainly wasn't advocating that anyone respond impudently to their membership. That label was intended as mark that statement as having a point, but one that would probably not

Hi All, I've made a couple small changes. The following notification hashtags have been changed: #file is now #file-notice #photo is now #photo-notice #chat is now #chat-notice #wiki is now
