Lis ~ If you mean the ones listed under "Top Hashtags" you'd probably need to remove/not use hashtags in your group. Agree it would be nice to not have them displayed. Patti in AZ

Why not just send out a post as a special notice with a description and link to the home page, a note to click the "join" button (with screen shot if needed) and include the subscribe address Subscrib

This has been a discussion point for some time. It seems "old timers" on GIO see this as a necessity while others consider it, as you do, a privacy violation. There is also some difference in opinion

On one hand, it’s already recognized that members can select a “no email” or “special notices only” option, but group owners can’t do that for the group. But something I didn’t realize until after a h

I just realized we could set default subscription settings for the group for email delivery fo all to go to Summary email. I assume that an individual member can change it to another option in their o

Raphael ~ I’ve seen something similar when replying on my iPad - I click the “reply to group” button and nothing seems to happen. BUT - if I go into the web page in a new window my reply shows up so t

I set my groups to not allow “no email” so the closest option becomes “special notices only”. I wouldn’t want to have to send out a bunch of personal emails if there is something Important the entire

I got the impression the OP is looking for a way for basic groups to “contribute” to GIO, not obtain features. I have thought about this also. In a similar vein would others be interested in a “Basic

I find the hashtags extremely useful for searches. For example in a thyroid group searching on “RAI” returns every post where RAI is even mentioned in passing while a hashtag of #RAI can be applied mo
