moderated Bug in hashtags - Online only messages appear in summaries and save and send to group sends to group - even though tags set as "online only" #bug
Mo
Hi,
I have created a tag that is for "online only" I created a confidential post that needed to stay online only, its needed to stay inside the group. I was editing and saving loads. The last save I did was "save and send to group" as I was to lazy to click "Save and not send to group". As the tags are configure to not email - I expected it to not be sent. But it did and now its appearing in daily summeries on further edits. Is that a "known" behaviour that I have interupted wrong? Or something owners can do. Just worried users could edit - then send post outside which are marked online only. Regards Mo

In fact, "Save and Send to Group" is the only option available. So this does seem like a bug, but I don't know how best to squash it. For now I'll just throw out idea of prohibiting Members from editing messages associated with a No Email hashtag. Regards, Bruce

Thank you Bruce. Your thoughts solved my dilemma. I'll lock the post, so only I can edit. Prevent mishaps. I know only click the other button from now on. People can private message me changes instead. Regards Mo
