A new pending member of my group was just able to join one of my group's non-private subgroups. I was expecting that they would not be able to join subgroups until their subscription had been

Brenda, Nope. Your browser did that. Only deleting the browser's history would cause them to be forgotten. I'm not entirely sure. It may be the color choices made for the site makes visited and

Sue, Getting a Groups.io account is very low-ceremony, about all you have to do is mention an email address and one is created. But yes, you do have to confirm your email address (account) before you

I think a preview button would be a great feature in general. More work for Mark, but it would be a definite enhancement. I belong to another forum where the posts tend to be complicated and sometimes

Janice, Ouch. As they say: been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Good idea. (#6058): https://groups.io/g/beta/message/6058 ;-) Another good idea, on the wish

J, Hmm... Maybe what's needed is a "Preview" button, so the member can accomplish tweaks privately before sending the final version. I'm not sure what that preview would look like - that is, how it

I had a member contact me because she had spent about an hour composing a complicated message containing some how-to directions. Before she sent the post, she wanted to check some previous messages

Shal, Many thanks for your responses to my questions. Your explanations are very sucinct. The confusion over the log-in process concerned getting my head around the creation of a Groups IO account

Shal,>>>>Yes, OK >>>>Still, I'd like the ability to easily search for prior messages from a poster even in groups I don't own or moderator; even when that poster isn't one of the "Top Posters". I

Hi, OK, this is a bit weird. Digest #308 was perfectly readable so I wondered if Mark had tweaked something behind the scenes. However the next two digests were again too wide for my phone screen and

Joseph, Perhaps instead of outright banning addresses that match the pattern, those addresses could be "Restricted" - put into the Pending Member queue when they attempt to join. That would avoid

Vickie, Yes, Duane mentioned it. Still, I'd like the ability to easily search for prior messages from a poster even in groups I don't own or moderator; even when that poster isn't one of the "Top

Good idea. I run 2 lists myself. One list is when I have to approve every message because of some email addresses on my list belongs to a school email address, and I have a chat group only for blind

Hi Mark, beta testers and list admins, There is a certain individual who used to be a moderator of several lists with a history of disruptive behavior on other mailing lists, including subscribing

Shal...I wish I could go to either their profile or their posts that way, or some way. At present I don't see a way to see the posts of anyone other than the Top Posters. Not sure if this has been

yes! a disable button for the editing posts for those that want to use it, leaving the settings available for those who dont. I delete edited post after edited post unread in the CKD group simply

Just reporting back that this turned out to be a case of a user who didn't realize that each edit created a new email, and was trying to be meticulous by continuing to tweak her post. Something was

I thought the "sorry to see you go message" was not sent out if it was not filled in. However, today I left an inactive group and received a blank message with subject "sorry to see you go," no

Great. Thank you, Mark. J
