I'm currently logged in using IE11, so if this message shows up after I hit the Reply to Group button then that means the web interface is working from IE11 here.

Can you fix the subject line. I keep opening these messages to see if there is anything new about Earthlink.

Re: EarthLink
Totally agree with Bruce. It was a nice thought, but the only solutions to make it really work seem too convoluted.

Re: EarthLink
Making the available Actions based on what checkboxes you check is doable, but more complicated, and perhaps not very intuitive. Please consider the situation where you accidentally select one person who *isn't* in a Bouncing condition and end up struggling to understand why "Send Bounce Probe" isn't showing up. I find the condition of the pull-down menu easier to wrap my head around than trying to sort through a litany of status badges.
Regards, Bruce

It does seem doable, but it *would* have to be done to prevent users from sending bounce probes to non-bouncing members. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones.

So if you mean you want to make the action available on only the 3 who are bouncing, then I think that would be great. But I think to accomplish that you'd have to do something like have the system gray out the action if you select any non-bouncing members. It seems doable. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones.

If I sort members by Bouncing one of the Actions I have available is Send Bounce Probe.What do you mean by "sort members by Bouncing"? Is that even possible? I know you can find the list of Bouncing members by using the Members dropdown. But that provides a list members all of whom are known to be bouncing, and where "send bounce probe" makes sense if you select any or all of them; whereas if you filter ( or "sort") the members list by any criterion, then you don't know that all the members returned are bouncing. So I'm not sure the "send bounce probe" should be available in that context, because you would want the system to preclude the possibility of the "send bounce probe" action on members who are not bouncing. Providing that action in that context provides the ability to do that and relies on you, the user, to be careful not to. So I don't know if this addition would be a good or a bad thing. I suppose you could get complicated about it, and make sure the system grays out the "Send Bounce Probe" action (if made available in this context) if you've selected any non-bouncing members. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones.

I've been trying to get Earthlink to unblock us.Mark; Having carried out some investigation within the group I moderate I have identified a possible gap in Groups.io functionality. If I sort members by Bouncing one of the Actions I have available is Send Bounce Probe. If, however, I sort by email provider (i.e. by putting something like earthlink in the Search box) I can find all those members with (in this case) earthlink email addresses. This returned 6 members, 3 of whom are Bouncing and 3 not. However, because I sorted by something other than Bouncing, Send Bounce Probe is not one of the available actions. Would it be possible to make Send Bounce Probe an available action based on whether or not the member concerned has a Bouncing flag, rather than the search route used to find them? When ISP - specific delivery problems are an issue having the ability to do this might prove very useful and less time - consuming. Chris.

Re: (from beta) Bulk reminders for NCs
#suggestion
J,
So I guess I'm not wrapping my head around your suggestion here:In retrospect I'm not so sure that made sense. It certainly wouldn't for a +subscribe, as the Pending Subscription notice isn't sent until after the confirmation has been acted upon. I was thinking about the web Request flow, but even there I'm not certain exactly when it is sent. Anybody can easily go to the site and apply with various people'sSo far at least one uses the site manually, one application at a time. Whereas crooks have long had the automation to send emails by the millions, each with an address to and spoofed from their long lists of collected victim addresses. That catastrophe happened about a decade ago on Yahoo Groups. Some crooks put together the web automation to create new accounts and new groups by the millions, abusing Yahoo Groups servers to blast out spam. Shal

Re: remove "compare revisions" button when there's only one version of message
#suggestion
Mark,
I think that showing the buttons, but disabled, is a better indicatorFor cases like this, where the inability is circumstantial, I concur with J that disabled (and desaturated, or "greyed out") is preferable. Especially in a case like this where the reason it is disabled is manifest on the page: you can see that there's nothing to compare with. (I wonder if that's a good design rule: ensure that the reason why a control is disabled is visible. Either implicitly, as with the Compare button, or explicitly when needed.) The opposite case are things like the Admin pages not being present at all for a Member (as opposed to mod or owner). The change of Role is a major change in the semantics of the site, and for most users something that never happens. Leaving something completely out of their control visible but disabled would be pointless and would generate needless questions. In between are things controlled by moderator permissions. I think these are more like member/mod distinctions (except possibly for mods with the permission to Set Moderator Permissions). If those are currently hidden (I haven't checked) I'd probably leave them that way. Shal

Re: EarthLink
I have a charter.net person too and I can not seem to get her to understand that she has to complain to Charter. I am gathering that Spectrum and Charter are related some how.
Wish I could get her to complain. She is now using a Gmail email, but I think it is still coming through Charter, not sure.

I meant disabling it is best. I assume that means you grayed it out. As long as it’s disabled, no matter how. 😊
