Maria, Most of your examples are from social media. Most of mine are not. I do not look for social media as an example for anything else. What your, or my, feelings are about this are not relevant to

And, just for the record here: I stopped at four, but "the beat goes on" as they say. I also think that these all demonstrate why a single sticky/pinned post is not something that most people would wa

Maria, I'm not trying to start an argument here, nor to sound snarky even though I know the following will: You need to get out more. Multiple pinned/sticky posts are the norm, not the exception, on f

Maria, We're largely in agreement. I do believe that you are wildly optimistic in your belief that the preview length has any real correspondence to member willingness to read. Sticky/pinned messages

Maria, I can certainly support the idea of a fixed number of pinned posts, that's for sure, but 1 seems a bit strict, particularly if the 5-lines-of-text display were to be reversed. If you go down to

The problem here is that many, many groups that use pinned/sticky posts have absolutely no discipline about the number of those nor anyone going back and reviewing what's there over time to decide whe

Well, then, when it is selected the options not supported should not be available. It is a big mistake to give what anyone would expect is a WYSIWYG text editing mechanism only to have most of what th

If this is to be a permanent feature on groups.io then I also suggest that you take all formatting out of the signature creation dialog that will not be supported by WYSIWYG when the signature goes li

All of a sudden most (possibly all, but I haven't posted in a couple of groups for a couple of days) are being converted to Helvetica font and Black color no matter what they're formatted like in the

Since others have chimed in, on both "sides," I'm for making pinned (since the pushpin is what gets used on Groups.io) messages have the standard preview appearance in Topics view (and probably messag

On one of the groups I frequent an admin notice went up today and, for the first time, I'm seeing one get a lot more screen real estate than any I've seen before. In all other cases they've had the #A

You know, there are people who consistently despise thread drift with a burning passion. Drift of this type is why, at times, I love it and feel it's genuinely valuable.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one, Ro. I am still having to manage all the folders, filters, etc. It's just so much simpler to keep myself logged in on the various forums I'm currently

And here, again, it's flip sides of the same coin. I use e-mail for three purposes and with separate accounts: personal correspondence, business communications, and online commerce (order confirmation

Not that you are not correct, but this is an e-mail list-centric view (not that there's anything wrong with that). I take a far more web forum-centric view based on having spent much more time interac

No mess. Try it for yourself. Membership is not required to browse the website much like most of Groups.io. There is a slight difference on the main page as far as it not presenting the subgroups, but

#suggestion

Several different groups I frequent on Groups.io have tried out subgroups, which could be a great idea, but every blessed one of them has invariably died due to lack of awareness and/or ease of access

I'll be the contrarian (surprise, surprise): No. I have never seen the amount of what I call thread splitting that I've seen on Groups.io on other groups, most of which is caused by someone either int

James, No, actually. If what you describe is what indeed occurs then Mark has essentially maintained a "fully parallel" aliasing system that allows anyone familiar with any of the e-mail address conve

Hello All, A question was just raised on the Group_Help group that I suspect can be more quickly and definitively answered here. Over time the e-mail address format for Groups.io has been evolving. Th
