Obviously some very different views on this issue. Of the three groups I am owner of: A national amateur radio group (with plenty of international members) which has annual subs. 900 members of

Of course not. I would want it for my cats group but not my neighborhood block group, for example. This suggestion, at least the initial one I made, for this feature is that it would be optional, both

The problem that Mark has, and is endeavouring to solve, is one that is - essentially - common to all (or at least most) internet based operations: how do you charge for - monetise if you will - a

I co-own a group for a motorbike club. I Direct Add new members when they join and have paid their membership fee, and remove them when they leave or don't pay their membership fee. I wouldn't want

Hello, Apologies as I haven’t read through the entire thread. I manage a group that I migrated from Yahoo Groups last year. We upgraded to a Premium subscription for 12 months to ensure we were

Sorry about the extra messages... but for extra clarity, there are also lots of existing Forums, which are basically bulletin-boards, people log in and post and read the topics all online, no email.

Ok, I'm going to answer my question because I thought of something, though my particular GIO group would absolutely not go for it any way whatsoever ;-) If the email archives themselves can be handled

A LISTSERV list that I'm a member of tells me once a year to confirm my subscription by replying to the mail. If I don't confirm, I get unsubscribed. This may be an idea for a Groups.io feature to

Hello everyone I just created a link to a Box.net folder in our Files section, but the link doesn't work, because a UTF-8 BOM is added to the end of the URL. This was not visible when I pasted the

Looks ok, thanks

Not on its own. On all except one of the groups I inhabit I have "Special" set; effectively "no mail". However, I look at the them all from time to time during the day so any No Email setting would

The only practical definition of "inactive" that I can think of for members in an announcement-only group is (a) they're email-only and (b) their delivery is set to "no email." Pete
