There are no limits on the number of hashtags. You can set your group up such that if a hashtag isn't included in the subject, an error is returned, giving the option to edit the subject line to

Already available. Groups can be listed or unlisted in the directory. Their archives can be public or private (if the group is unlisted, the archives are private). Thanks, Mark

Okay - that would do the replacement of topics. Is there a limit to the number of hashtags a group can have? Is it in the subject line? And if someone forgets to put in a hashtag, would the default

But - Steve is right. I am owner of a couple of groups - no longer, or never, on Yahoo - where it is a closed group of people, and the only way in is for someone who is a member propose or ask about

Mine would not want to be findable. The people who qualify for membership in groups that I moderate or own learn about us through other sources. They then request membership directly. We do not wish

Ok, I flip flopped. I just pushed to the site the option for subscriptions to be set to special notices only. And there's a checkbox in the group post screen to indicate that a post is a special

DG, This is a good use of hashtags. Create a hashtag for each subject. Then set your group so that messages must include at least one hashtag, and that members cannot create new hashtags. People will

Steve, Mine would. I run a few very private (Yahoo) groups -- private in the sense that membership is rigorously restricted and the resources (messages, files, photos, etc.) are private (members

Hi If there is no special status for “private groups”, perhaps showing up in the directory of groups should be a tick box for the list-owner. I would be happy for my private group, restricted

Hi Mark, Do you need to change the label on the list of groups? Some are restricted and private archives, but show up here in “Public Groups”. I like that they show up in this list, though. Are

wouldn't most "private" groups not even want to be "findable"? They would want to simply operate on the system anonymously for the benefit of their members. They would not need or want to be

Love that it shows how active the group is - “last post”. All very useful. Frances

The thanks should be going in the other direction. THANK YOU! Cacky This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com

Hi Mark, You're welcome for any help I could offer even though I only joined recently. It is brilliant no doubt about that and one of the best email groups service in terms of accessibility and

Hey Everyone, It was a year ago this week that I started working on Groups.io. On this occasion, I wanted to say thanks for all the help that everyone here has given; Groups.io is infinitely better

Full Name is supposed to be your full name (or what you consider your full name).. User Name is a short, no spaces, username, like a twitter username. Usernames are unique in the system, full names

Good idea, easy to fix. I've just pushed the change. It now displays whether archives are public or private, and if the group has restricted membership. Thanks, Mark

Not dense at all. My initial assumption was that people would interact with their groups through email and through the 'Inbox' view on the Groups.io website, instead of visiting individual group

Someone may have already said this, but the moderator/owner might need to send important notices, regardless of the users choice like welcome, netiquette, warnings, notice the person will be blocked,
