Re: Add the full range of photo editing tools to the Photos albums "photo edit"
#suggestion
Ken,
I’m suggesting only the full range of tools that are available underOh, you want text formatting tools for the photo's Description box. Nevermind. (is that “post” or “message” ....I get so confused) ..."Post" or "message" has been argued about here. I tend towards "post a message" - "post" is the action and "message" the object. But I'm not always consistent about it. As to "subject", that's a short text field that applies to both a "topic" and to each message in the topic. So for what you wanted to say "subject" is correct, the "topic" would be the list of messages sharing that subject text - including this one of mine. Of course, this is Groups.io usage (jargon) I'm describing. In general English usage the two are much closer to interchangeable. Shal

Brady, if you have a repeating event you can do as Andy W said and when you save the event you are updating, you have an opportunity to update only the current one or all following.

The only way to do this now is to cancel the existing event and create a new Zoom event. Brady Turner

Main group search option to include subgroups
#suggestion
Hi Mark,
there was a message from Scott back in January about this but I thought I'd ask again. It would be really helpful to have an option on a search in a main group to include all subgroups. We have 20+ subgroups so tracking something down that you know you have seen in one of them is a slow process. Thanks Andy

Provide bcc options when automatic notices to members go out
#suggestion
When you send a message to a member using the "send message" feature, you can choose to "bcc me" or "bcc all moderators." But when you do an action that causes an automatic message (notice) to go out, e.g, "reject member" (I have not taken the time to look into whether this applies to other auto-notices), there is no option for the mod who did the action to request a bcc. For example, I just rejected a pending member. Before doing so, I set the active rejection notice to be the one I wanted for this member. Then I pulled the trigger. But I have no confirmation via bcc that the right notice went out, and the other mods (not having done the rejection) have no idea in any case, since I, not they, was the one who set the notice I wanted to be the active one.
I still think there should be a way, and have requested this in the past, to choose in real-time (i.e., at the time of doing the action) which notice goes out. Instead, I have to go into Member Notices, set the notice I want to be the active one for this member, do the action, and go back into Member Notices and uncheck the Active box for the future. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones.

In the meantime, clicking on the Uploaded column on right will reverse the sort order to make it easier to get to. Not sure why, but it has to be clicked twice to get newest first. Duane

File "sort order"
#suggestion
Wayne Swearingen
Would it be possible to incorporate a default sort order in the files section?
For example, I upload our monthly newsletters in PDF form and name them: "2020_08 - Person of the Month.PDF" Which ends up putting the newest file on the last page, not the end of the world if your somewhat technical and know where to go looking. But the casual user tends to not venture that far from what I've heard from our club members. Could there be some sort of global "toggle", if you will, that would allow the default sorting option to be set? Wayne

Re: Photo Upload Notifications

Ginger Iorizzo
Thanks Bruce, but I understand how both messages are sent, one to the owner and one to the group. That’s not my issue.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The problem is that the body of the message says that XXXXXX uploaded a photo, along with a hyperlink to the photo, six times within the body of one message. And no, they are not multiple photos. It is only one photo.

It happens in the notification message I receive as the group owner and also in the notification message that is sent out to the entire group.The notification sent to the entire group is triggered when the uploader ticks the corresponding checkbox in the upload dialog. You can head off this notification by setting the "moderated" flag on the #file-notice hashtag. The notification sent to you as a Moderator/Owner is controlled by your subscription settings. Click on Subscription on the left-side menu bar and update the "Moderator Notifications" block according to your preferences. Further discussion on this topic should really be taken up in GroupManagersForum or Group_Help. Regards, Bruce

I wouldn't object if theIt probably should if it was a Select All, so there wouldn't be anything on the search results anyway. If only some of the members from the search results were removed, then it should return with the list updated, in case someone wants to remove one member, then decides to remove another member from the same search list, and so on. That's provided the search list can be updated properly after the remove, so any members just removed aren't on the list anymore. JohnF
