When I edit old messages and save the edit, it works fine. However, when I edit and click the "save and send to group" option, the messages are not being sent to the group.

Please could someone check this and this if there is a glitch that needs to be fixed.

Very grateful for the wonderful io groups every day!

When you say not being sent to the group, does your edited message appear in the Archive? Did you check your Activity Log as suggested by Chris when you raised this on GMF? Also, have you checked your email delivery history just after you did the "Save and Send"?  If details of that message are in the "Most Recent Successful Delivery" section then Groups.io has delivered the message to your mail provider and it's between you and them to sort out.  If a reference to the message appears in either Unsuccessful or Bounces section, the the details there will guide your next steps.  As I mentioned on GMF, I tested this on one of my groups and it worked OK for me.

Works fine for me.

Is this the same problem that you raised on the GMF or a subtly different one? I ask because here you talk of edit old messages while your GMF query related to When we edit and save messages, with no mention of their being "old". In practice it might make no difference, but I'm curious about which it is.

Haven't seen the GMF post (I'm not in there), but what's the difference? If you're editing and saving, that kinda implies the message already exists, i.e., is "old."

It can also imply editing during moderation...  sometimes required unfortunately.

But in that case you wouldn't refer to "save and send."

Thx for your reply.

In answer to your qus below:

1.  Yes, my edited message appears (edited) in the archive, still under it's original # no. 

2. Yes, it shows on the activity log as "edited message" via web

3. Just after I did the "save and send" twice for the edited message, I sent other messages (also via web) which showed up immediately. Only the "send" part of the edited "save and send" isn't going through.

4. In the activity log it just shows edit, not send.

5. I can't find a separate "most recent successful delivery" section of the Groups.

6. I've just tried again using a different day and different browser but have just the same problem still. I edit the old post, click "save and send". It gets saved but not sent. When you tested it out, are you sure you did exactly the same? If so, it's a really annoying mystery and I need to use this function a lot in the next few weeks. (I had never tried it before).

Thx for your help. Yes, after posting here I wrote to GMF as I thought I might have posted to the wrong group!

Same. Editing and sending old messages.

Did that edited message have a hashtag with the 'No email' attribute set?  If so, Groups.io would not email it.

I can't find a separate "most recent successful delivery" section of the Groups.

It's not a separate section for the group as a whole, it is your individual information and can be found via your subscription settings for that group:



You can also see a full list of bounces that may have occurred for your account and all the groups you are subscribed to via your Account details:

GMF (and Group_Help) can be used for general queries and discussions that people have about the Groups.io system and is a good place to start. If there's a bug or a suggestion that may help improve Groups.io it can be posted here on Beta. There are separate subgroups on Beta for the Groups.io app, API and documentation.
