I have just discovered that a group member who is not a moderator or owner of our group has deleted all but 7 rows of the above mentioned database. How can this happen??? I have written to her asking

What's unusual is that in the Past Members list, the member shows up as "Rejected," which you can click on to see their Notes and Activity Log. However, if you Direct Add the same email address, all

I had a very important database with our Charity Calendar for the year - consisting of 49 entries This morning when I went to check something there are only 7 entries ???? There is nothing in my

As I said, the obvious "workaround" is to do nothing until everything is complete, which is what you're suggesting here. And in our case, it's more convenient to start setting up the membership as

That's entirely up to the group owner(s). If they change the setting for the group, you'd see them online. If they have a concern, they can read all about the settings in the Owners Manual. Duane

It should make no difference if I receive an email containing addresses using my email client or the website so long as I am the member of the list. I would understand your privacy concern if I wasn't

I can see the logic. In my group we reject join requests if the person doesn't respond to our questionnaire within 12 hours, but many of them reapply and are ultimately accepted. We don't do any

Is that an "active" rejection by moderator action or an auto - rejection by 14 day time - out? If the former then why start setting things up for them? If the latter why not use the "Claim" capability

Noah, email address visibility in the archive is a privacy setting, and the ability to change privacy settings is by design available only to owners and moderators. I personally would be 100% against

Sometimes we reject a pending member because they fail to complete our questionnaire either in time, or in enough detail, etc. Meanwhile, we usually tentatively set up other aspects of their page -

Wouldn't this have to override the group setting? Though not quite as easy, you also have the option of using the Email button on the person's Profile, assuming they're group members, in the

To Whom it May Concern, I am a member of several groups, however I elect not to receive emails to my email address. Instead, I manage all groups via the website so that I can keep my inbox clean while

Yes, I remember that. And did not much like it. But -- Does it actually give someone else access to your GIO account? Or does it just unsubscribe you, or prompt GIO to send you a confirmation

Oh no. Thanks for correcting me... that's not optimal and I begin to understand the concerns others have. I think MFA is the solution to these problems. If the link holder can't

You could assume that, but that's not the way it works with the existing unsubscribe link. Anyone with the link can unsubscribe you. My own preference would be to somehow divorce the voting function

I would assume that if someone forwarded such a link to someone not in the group the link referenced, that the latter person's clicking on the link would not cause any changes to the group and

That's a common practice, and not just on this site. There's usually a warning not to forward the link to anyone. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My

That's already the case with the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email. Mark

Thanks, Mark! And Happy New Year, everyone! -- 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. -
