Yep, a bug. You shouldn't be able to allow sponsorship of subgroups. I've fixed this and refunded your $5 charge. It should appear on your statement in 5-10 days. Thanks, Mark [When your kid has

Hi Mark, the sponsorship facility is available on subgroups so I tested it with a $5 amount. An entry appears in the activity log and I received a notification email. There is no Billing page for

Oh thanks Mark, I think that this will be a definite good deal.

A message created by anyone but a Moderator cannot be sent as "Special Notice". And, in many Groups, some members only want to receive/know about Special Notices - they aren't really interested in

It would be nice if people without a credit-card could contribute as well. For instance by "Ideal" as in sent to nameofthegroup+owner@groups.io ?

Mark, Thanks. I like your solution. It is a well thought-out and useful feature. I have no issues. I think it will help influence some of us on the fence to convert from a Free/Basic Group to

We don't know that group owners will be informed in any way by GIO if a member of their group is a paid GIO account holder or not. Everyone seems to be assuming that group owners and members will be

What is your concern/downside of allowing "full" groups to accept more members? -- Sandi Dickenson

They could. But if only Mark's original plan plus this sponsorship plan are implemented, you end up with exactly what I thought was optimal, and what I'd suggested (although not the specifics),

That may be, but my other proposal (about free-member slots) was meant to be separate from this suggestion and in fact both features can complement each other. This sponsorship button makes it easier

Yes, I can see that from my test $5.00 sponsorship I received a notification email but there is currently no option in the Moderator Notification panel to control these sponsorship notifications like

Now might be a good time to reflect on and confirm what happens if insufficient sponsorship funds are 'in the bank' and there is no credit card on file so a group gets
