No fees are added to the amount the person chooses to sponsor. That is, if someone chooses to sponsor the group for $10, then $10 will be charged to their credit card. The credit card processing fees

I checked your Lancsgen group, and the button shows up for me. It will not show up if you are logged out of Groups.io completely. Mark

Thank you Duane. So the funds accumulated stay in the group account. What happens to them if a group closes? Nancy

The options on the hamburger menu are a completely different order to those when viewed from the left-side menu. It would be really helpful if they were at least in the same order and even better if

Hi Mark, the sponsorship facility is available on subgroups so I tested it with a $5 amount. An entry appears in the activity log and I received a notification email. There is no Billing page for

Oh thanks Mark, I think that this will be a definite good deal.

A message created by anyone but a Moderator cannot be sent as "Special Notice". And, in many Groups, some members only want to receive/know about Special Notices - they aren't really interested in
