Thanks for doing that Duane. I've taken your text and separated it, added that mods with the Billing permission may also check the balance, and added a couple of small graphics.

For the avoidance of doubt... we cannot check what is happening in your group. The Group Managers Forum is a peer to peer group intended for those individuals who own or moderate groups; it is not a

It works OK for me. The edit is shown in the archive and I received an email copy as expected. Regards Andy

When we edit and save messages, no problem, but when after editing we click "save and send to group", they are not being sent to the group. Would you kindly check for me? Thanks again for the great

Three (3) owners plus one owner has a second email address, also as owner. Plus a few others as moderators with more limited functions. Frances -- Help available from Groups.io help and GMF wiki.

Just curious: how many owners does GMF have? tommy0421
