This has now been fixed. If you're an owner, you can search on all profiles now.

Is this feature supposed to ignore the email address field when doing a search?

Yes, it is designed that way, since email addresses are not visible in the directory.

I think the #cal-notice hashtag as a special notice might accomplish what I want on both counts.  I'll let you know how it works.

Following up on what Bruce said, you could do the same with the #cal-summary hashtag (set it to special notice) and get a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly list of upcoming events sent to each member.  We use a weekly cal-summary and it lists the next 10 events. I must admit I haven't tried the bi-weekly or monthly to see if the numbers differ.

Lori -- Try editing the #cal-notice hashtag and tick the Special checkbox. 

Having done so, this will apply to all calendar event notifications, not just birthdays and anniversaries. I agree it might be nice to be able to choose this for each event separately, as we already can for #cal-reminders.

I would also like it if there was a way to put in that member's email specifically so they would get an email for their birthday etc.  

A scheduled email to one subscriber (not the whole group) would indeed be a new feature.

Thank you.

When first subscribing to a group using hte "Join This Group" button on the group home page, a "Subscription Options" screen is presented with Individual/DIgest/Etc. options.  However no matter what the user selects, after clicking "Save", the subscription is set to "Individual Message" delivery as shown in the regular Subscription page.

Also, on the Subscription page, those options are called "Email Delivery", not "Subscription Options", which is confusing.

I discovered this when subscribing to beta.groups.io   Attached are screen-shots showing what I see before and after clicking "Save" on the Subscription Options page.

I have not yet figured out how often to run the process that deletes attachments. I'm thinking probably once a week, unless anyone has a reason it should be run more often.

Mark -- Weekly works for me. A couple more things (there's always at least one more thing isn't there?)...

1) When the last attachment is deleted from a message, it still displays a paperclip icon in the Messages/Topics view. This happens whether they are deleted manually or via the attachment purge job.

2) If an attachment is deleted from a message manually (either via editing the message or deleting an image from Emailed Photos), an audit trail entry is created and the message displays an Edited tag. Attachments deleted via the attachment purge job do not.

These are just observations...I'm not proposing that they need to be acted upon.

You can now search the member directory.

Cheers, Mark

Not sure if leslie from GMF posted this already as was suggested, but the "Find or Create a Group" function is currently broken.  Depending on the browser, the result is usually  "The page isn’t redirecting properly" or "groups.io redirected you too many times".  The link shown for that function is https://groups.io/search?p=SubsCount,,,20,2,0,0 so that leads me to believe it has to do with the updated search.

If there are previous reports of this, please delete this one.

Thanks,
Duane

Also, I'm going from most space used to least, so you'll be near the end of the list. 

I'm seeing two log entries now where it says "Attachments up to message #xxx were deleted to free up space via system"

However, when I go to Admin>Upgrade, it still shows this group as 9% over quota (13% as attachments), and the file and photo upload buttons remain grayed out. I expected all attachments to be deleted to get me to 96%.

So somethin' still ain't right.

Thank you, Mark! I have verified that it is working correctly for me now.

After reading the posts at GMF about many yahoo email addresses suddenly bouncing, I checked my largest group. I have about 100 bouncing, so I did a search to see how many were yahoo. That's when it got weird.

It shows that there are 60 such addresses, displayed on 3 pages of 20 each. However, pages 1, 2, and 3 show identical information, i.e. the same names, email addresses, etc. The only difference it it says "1-20 of 60" on the first page, "21-40 of 60" on the second, and "41-60 of 60" on the third.

Looking over the original bouncing list (before the search is applied) it does appear that there are around 60 yahoo addresses. It's just that they don't actually show up properly after the search. If I click on the member on the second or third page, it really does take me to the same member's record.

Thanks,
Su

I've seen some posts here about and replies (from Mark) that it was fixed by I have this problem when I post.

The fonts do not keep their size nor the text its alignment. The problem exists whether posted from email client (thunderbird) or group's UI.
