I grant that that's the current motivating example, but the rest of the things that Chuck and Duane were discussing are perfectly achievable without the disappearing effect.

Drew -- If you allow (or maybe even force) html messages and do not click the "remove other reply options" box in settings there should be a "Reply to Sender" link in the message footer. Why is it

That will not work for us. We would like to have both options available to individual subscribers: most replies will go to the group by default; less often individuals will want to go off-list. For

That idea seems like a good, pragmatic solution. It does not involve a lot of heavy lifting and would definitely help minimize confusion. -chuck

Hi Mark, I sent a possible blurb for the text. It’s a few posts downstream. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up in yours, for we

Hi All, I'm not inclined to remove the tab. If you have suggestions for improvements to text on that page, I'd definitely consider that. Thanks, Mark

Because I don’t like the ultimate effect. Billing info appearing and disappearing. Not being able to enter my billing info when ^I* want to do it (even if I want to do thst before joining or

No sir. The act of setting an existing topic to `Reply To Followers Only` automatically sets up follow topic records for the person who started the topic as well as everyone who replied. Mark

Why? Best, Glenn -- PG&E Delenda Est

I'm reminded of a prior suggestion I made here about a "Like" automatically creating a follow record. Can that be done? If the person Unlikes, I don't think you'd have to worry about unfollowing. (Or

Mark -- I'm starting to get more than a little confused. Are "follow topic" records now being created for the originator of a topic (and those who reply to it) regardless of the topic/group/hashtag

Yes it can be done, but should it? I say no. -- 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 together. -

Something else that might occur is I join groups.io before I join any groups (I actually did that) and know thst im going to be creating some paid groups and want to enter my billing info at thst

So, I'm a software engineer for Second Life. We have over 2.6 million resident groups in our system and we provide realtime group information, include roles for a member. The simple db

Just refreshed my memory by looking back at the old topics addressing this. I have a suggestion. You can use the new `Reply To Followers Only` topic setting to move discussions `off-list` (that is,

Let's see... Let's say 100,000 groups, 5,000,000 accounts, at least 3 possible roles per account. True, a computer can figure all that out, but it takes computing cycles to do it. It would have to

This is not a simple piece of data in the account. The monitoring required to maintain it would be nontrivial. Any time a group changed the Donations toggle, all the group members would have to be

I still disagree with the basic premise. Suppose I am the owner of a premium group and have entered my billing info. Should that simply disappear when I downgrade or delete the group? I'm not talking

Exactly! I'm thinking that I should have been more explicit/precise in my original suggestion. I would think that somewhere in the back-end of groups.io is my profile that says what groups I am a

And that's not even mentioning that any member of your group can be the owner of some other group and needs to able to pay for it. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the
