A couple of situations I can see offhand. One is the forwarding that's already been mentioned. To minimize that problem, the 'login' could be a one-shot with no cookie set, but could still be

Aha, gotcha. Yes, continued impersonation of the authorization would be bad. Best, Glenn -- PG&E Delenda Est

Yes, this person clicking on a vote in a forwarded message has cast a proxy vote in your name, which is bad (and which I already mentioned here). But it's not nearly as bad as having him remain

Bruce, Help me out here, because I'm not sure how your recommendation solves the problem you state. Let's say there are separate links in the email as you recommend. Let us then say I

Mark -- On first sight, I kinda like this, except for the potential for forwarding, and accidentally granting someone else access to your account. Having specifically requested a link to log in, folks

So perhaps Groups.io isn't for you or your group. It was explained to you why the feature you requested doesn't exist the way you envision it, and maybe it was a little blunt, but so is asking for a

Tom, From this user's perspective, what you wrote is spot-on, and pretty well describes where the groups I manage stand as well. The attractiveness of Groups.io for a lot of people is that it offers

The same value to the group, minus the negativity, could have been delivered with "That's not correct, Tom. Every member of a group (hosted by Groups.io, that is!) has an Account, even if they don't

Tom's users don't think they have Groups.io accounts. Whether they technically do or not is not their problem nor concern. They want to participate in a poll, and are having trouble doing so. That's

I said that because of your assertion that your members did not have accounts when in fact they do. Further on you wrote: Perhaps, technically, but they don't know that, they have not set a password,

Hi Mark, On Groups.io the mouse pointer arrow changes to a hand pointer except when selecting options from the +New button in the Files section. Can we standardise please? Thanks Andy

You may want to direct the reluctant members to https://groups.io/helpcenter/membersmanual/1/understanding-groups-io-accounts/logging-in-to-your-account, especially the part about logging in without a

No I'm not. I may have not read the user manual (thanks for the link) and may not understand the subtlies of how groups.io tracks users, but I do have a valid point about our user's experience.

Yes, I can see that too. This is what I was referring to after selecting the name/email address link on the Activity log: Andy

Tom -- As others have stated, all of your subscribers already have an account, so that's probably not the problem. The problem is that they must log in, re-find the poll after doing so, and generally

I was talking about messages that do have subject lines. BUT, if you have one without a subject line it's still going to have the quotes for the empty subject, like this - sent message "" to

Messages with a blank subject link show up on the +owner messages list but as there is no subject, there is no link to click on to open them. I'm not sure what was there before in this case but I

Yep, I rechecked and was just logging back in to post again. You're right. It's blank. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. I'm not arguing. I'm just

I checked in two different groups with Firefox and Chrome and it's not working for me.

I can't reproduce this. It's working fine for me. I think that would be unacceptable. People need to be able to freely send messages to the owner. It's their way of trying to communicate, sometimes by
