I'm owner/admin of a free legacy group that I started a few years ago. I recently started experiencing a strange problem when trying to manage the group using my iPad. When I log in, my group shows me as an ordinary member & there is no Admin area shown (yes, I am logged in with the correct username & password). I have the same problem in both Firefox or Safari. Clearing the history in either browser and logging out and back in does not correct the problem. When I first ran into this, I noticed the option on my group's home page asking me if I "Wanted to Join". I clicked on that and then it indicated that I was a member. At that point I received a new member welcome message. I also received a message on my phone (as Admin) showing my username as a "new subscriber" that had just joined my own group! While logged in on my PC or Android phone, everything looks normal as a group owner. I have access to the usual Admin functions, but my username now shows up under "Members" as a "New Member Moderated". I'm afraid to delete this, or even log out on my phone or PC, as I'm concerned that I might become locked out of my group as owner/admin. Does anyone know what's going on ????

If a member's delivery method is "Single" but he is not receiving group email, what can be done? Thanks & Merry Christmas! Marc DeLorenzo, Admin. CapeDX South Dennis, Cape Cod, Mass. > > >

A member of our forum has contacted me to ask whether there is likely to be any problem for us, or others like us, under the UK's new Online Safety Act, due to come into force next year https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-safety-act-explainer/online-safety-act-explainer (more info at https://www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/resources/documents/online-safety/information-for-industry/illegal-harms/overview-of-regulated-services.pdf?v=387540 ) He's anxious because he's seen other hobby/fan groups talking about closing down because they think it will be too difficult to comply, or prove that they comply, with its terms. I doubt a bunch of ageing cricket statisticians is the primary target of the Act, but as far as I can make out we fall under the category of a user-to-user service with user-generated content. Has anybody looked into the implications of the Act for forums on groups.io? All the best Harriet Monkhouse

Can I have step by step instructions on how to search photos? Thank you.

Has anyone else seen this? I've had a number of members who were somehow unsubscribed through no intervention of their own, nor by any of the moderators. Yesterday it happened again. I asked the member if she had gone to her settings page on the web and she said no. Yet the activity log entry says "name <email address> left via web." She received a message saying You have been unsubscribed from main@woodmoor.groups.io. You will receive no more emails from that group. If this was a mistake, you can resume your subscription within the next 7 days by clicking the following link: Resume Subscription Regards, The main@woodmoor.groups.io Moderator I am mystified. Pete

Hello, I just changed the email on my account. During this process it stated that the accounts would be merged. I now have lost all my groups that I subscribe to except for one and the Groups I started under the old email. How can I recover my subscritptions and owenrship of groups? Thank You, Burt Wizeman

Although receiving an invitation and simply replying to the invite is embarrassingly easy to do, I have some wanna be subscribers who just cannot seem to master it. Is there a way to direct subscribe new members?

Azure Standard is an organic food supplier that makes monthly drops all over. I set up the group AzureTivoliDrop list so that Drop member can talk together. I have build other groups and did this for the drop organizer, Mary. Having created the drop, I am its owner, and I made Mary also owner. How do I change the invitation message create when I created the group so that it denotes Mary TD <tivolidrop@...> as the person sending the invitation message.

Good Evening, I have ask to delete a group. I am the soul owner. It is Not being deleted. Can any One help me sure thew group Is deleted. Thank You ! Submitted Respectfully, Beck

Friends, I am certain that I used to be able to amend the blurb which describes my Group. I have looked high and low on the left hand menus. No mention of edit. Is this a new thing? I cannot imagine that I am the only group owner who wants to tweak the blurb describing the group. Any help would be welcomed, Dan (owner of mwmasts)

Hello Groups.io Managers Forum! Could someone suggest a fix for this problem? I don’t know if iCogroups Admin is a groups.io reference or for her server admin? I recently changed my preference from the individual messages coming through to a daily summary and since then, on my iPhone, I am prompted to enter my password and email for ICOgroups every time. I can open up the individual messages in the daily summary on my Mac fine without having to enter my password and email address. I have also checked my settings on my phone. I have changed my settings so that my log info is saved however, a prompt still pops up and I still have to click in the email field and then click autofill, before I can access any individual messages in the summary list. My Safari browser Block All Cookies is toggled off as another possible cause listed in the things to check guidance. For the final point to check, it states: 5. Contact iCogroups Admin • If none of the above work, the email list might have specific security settings requiring frequent re-authentication on mobile devices. Reach out to their support team to see if they can adjust settings for your account. I wondered if this could be the cause since I changed the way I receive the messages? I know you are a very busy lady but I would be so grateful if you could please check for me as it is a little frustrating. Many thanks, Erica (Hastings Creatives moderator)

Didn't the Groups view previously display an indicator (bullet?) on the Group(s) that have unread messages? Each group Feed view does, but it requires opening up each Group to see if there are unread messages. Kinda inefficient/PITA to do that and I **thoughr** I recalled that my Groups page indicated which Group(s) had new posts waiting. Am I misremembering about that? Ken

Is it possible to allow new members to only see and have access to new messages after they join? Currently new members who join have access to the history of messages and I would like to limit it to only new messages. Thanks in advance.

A member of one on my groups is having a problem: Some members (but not others) who post to the group have their sender addresses change from abc@... to abc@.... This causes them to go to his spam folder. It's impractical for folks to have to whitelist every member, and in fact, they might not know that that they're not seeing all the posts to a group (which is what happened with the member). I presume that this a holdover from some earlier situation and that groups.io is doing this mangling. When I post, it doesn't change my address. I have a some questions: - What was the original reason this was done? - What determines which members get this "treatment"? - Does this still need to be happening? Cal
