The reason I don't want my members to see some files is because I may be preparing to send out something in a day and need to be prepared. This particularly handy if I know I am going to be too busy

Yes, locked by default or even by constraint, I’ve suggested that in one of these threads. And I think that edit options on these notification tags should generally be restricted to what’s

Chris, I disagree. The subject text of a notification for a Wiki page includes the page's Title, and the body text contains a link to the page. Those seem perfectly adequate as discussion starters. In

I am going to take Shal's comment out of its original context to raise another related point: should Notification Hashtags be Locked by default? IMHO replies to Notifications make no sense, but at

Hi Mark, I have similar reasons to J's comments. I can upload files at various times that can be background or historical information and I don't want a notice going out for each one. I may send a

Michael, Impudent response: sounds like your members need to learn what the Mute link in the message footer is for. In fact I don't have a problem with having a group option to Mute the new system

Carol, I think "we don't use hashtags" is a different class of problem, one which has its own topics here in beta (owners requesting ways to turn them off altogether). Would a group Permissions

Oooh, I like this. I think tying this to a randomly generated hashtag would also be good. Also, the randomly generated hashtag would often be composed of swear words in the group's native language.

Please give us the option to advise our members of uploaded files. Sometimes I don't want them to know about it at the time of uploading but I am preparing for a future event in the Group. Please put

> Isn't the whole point of uploading files being that your members can then access them? I'm confused. Mark Good point, but as daid, sorta No. Point being, A nice option. Historically, YahOops had a

Hi Duane, couldn't have said it better myself. I think with the large number of groups here, changes need to be taken into consideration so all groups have options to use or not use the

Hello, The bug where a hashtag with No Email set would not generate a notification has been fixed. Thanks, Mark

For our group, yes, we want members to know when a file is uploaded, and the checkbox is preferable to nothing. But like Duane, we would actually love members to announce their file rather than just

I totally agree that it should be unchecked by default. Judy F. SW Florida - USA

While these Notifications might be informative and perhaps useful to some, the additional email traffic they generate is unwelcome for many people, especially if their Inbox is already very busy. They

On most of my groups, one of the rules is that you will NOT notify the group when a file is uploaded. After loading the file, a new topic with a link to the file and a description of what it's for

Hi Mark, I'm applying your comments about files to photos. In my group, there are times I quietly upload photos and other times I upload them and then kick out an email to share the photo. I quietly

Pleading and begging here also. We need at least a rudimentary "off" switch asap. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up in yours,

OK; I haven't done a survey but I suspect that what Duane said about nobody wanting a blizzard of notifications is entirely correct. After a member uploaded some photos to the group I moderate 2

And actually there are simply some files - a lot of them, including every cat's labwork, which constitute the vast majority of files in our group - that I simply don't want to announce to the whole
