Might this not be something that should show up in each and every group in groups.io? It seems like it's something that every user should be aware of. I have seen this notice, and the related post abo

I can't and won't argue with anyone's personal preferences, they are what they are. That being said, there are users from all over the world who use Groups.io, and a number of them could very well be

At first I liked the idea, but a status banner works better for me. Plus I hate to think about what the spam filters would do if the messages were sent to all the groups.... J Sent from my iPhone

I can fairly confidently state that if I were to send a message unilaterally to all groups, I would have a mutiny on my hands. I like the banner idea; I'll put one up this afternoon. Thanks, Mark

Good heavens, people are fussy then, aren't they?! There are several systems I use that routinely send me e-mail messages about planned outages, and that's the reason I suggested it. They might come t

I learned long ago that group owners are very possessive of their groups and members, and do not like anything happening with their groups that they don't know about or control. Note, this is not a cr

Mark, I appreciate entirely that what you offered is not a criticism. I hope then, when complaints come in (and they probably will) that you explain it as you have here. I cannot, for the life of me,

Hello, what is Lee had a message that went out to each individual subscriber when they attempted to try to post to the group. Town like something that they would get, if they were trying to send a mes

Hi Brian and others, For Win10 forum: hashtag has been added for archival purposes. I considered putting Win10 in lock-down mode starting tomorrow evening until an all-clear is sounded, but… Cheers, J

Right. It can be a cultural thing. Some groups might simply forward your message verbatim (as i did today, modulo screwing up the date and having to correct it lol). Sometimes I will preface it with "

I like Joseph's idea.

Meaning: you go to the site designated to find out whether the system is down.

Which is a perfectly reasonable, preferable I'd say, alternative to a broadcast message. That way no one but someone who might be directly affected/confused by a previously unexplained outage would ha

I figured you might like it, that's why put it out there thanks Jay.

#downtime #cal-invite

I agree, and if it doesn't satisfy dust fuzzy group owners then oh well. You can't find a much better site to run your group on other than this one. Especially with everything being very accessible, a

Banner works great for us. We can send an announcement to our groups if we think the time/outage will interfere. Don't think an auto-reply back message via email is necessary for us - we moderate post
