locked Inbox, Archive and muting
Hi Mark,
I have a question or two about the way Groups.io works. There seems to be two views for messages - an Inbox for all groups I belong to (Home), and a screen for each group I belong to. (from Home, choose Your Groups). These operate quite differently and I find it confusing. I like that I can see all recent posts for ALL my groups at once in one place (the Inbox). But sometimes, I just want to see messages from one specific group. The All-groups (Home) screen has an Inbox. The specific groups screen only has an Archive and the Top Posters list. No Inbox. However there is a Messages label which seems to be for moderation purposes at some point. If I want to mute a thread, I can only mute a thread through the website if I go to all threads for ALL groups I belong to, i.e. to the Inbox. However, I cannot mute a thread from the specific group - from Archives. I can see a link to examine muted threads, but cannot not mute another one. If I select Thread View (not Message View) in Archives, I can edit a thread - close a thread or make it a sticky. This might be a logical place to mute a thread. Also, I see I can also edit a thread from an email - there is an option at the bottom of the email to mute the thread - at the bottom of the Digest email. I was also wondering where / how I can un-mute a thread. For example, I might want to mute a thread if someone is becoming tedious! But later, I might want to hear any new discussion on the topic. Or am I missing something? Frances

Frances, I agree that it is a little confusing right now. And you are correct, right now in the Group view, there is no way to mute a thread. I will add that to the TODO list. Right now the only place to unmute a thread is going to the home page/Inbox view, and clicking on Muted Threads. I use Inbox view to refer to all the messages from all the groups you're subscribed to. And I use Archives to refer to messages from a particular group. Do you (or anyone here) have any suggestions for better words for these? Thanks, Mark
