Groups - Change ownership? change/add administrators?


Ning To Jamroom

So I've added the Change Owner module and made it active. Now how do I actually use it? Where would I find the place where I can change a group's owner for example? How about the owner of specific discussions?

Groups - Change ownership? change/add administrators?


Ning To Jamroom

Can I change the ownership of any groups? Can we add add group administrators so we have more than one person who can be admin of a particular group?

Gmail problems
Ning To Jamroom

I found out what was happening... According to one and all, this is quite unusual but I thought I'd post the solution here in case anyone else finds themselves with the same dilemma.

Not only were we blocked from gmail, but mailgun kept trying to deliver those messages to those gmail addresses (which were our own in fact), so we were essentially spamming ourselves. I finally submitted a ticket to Mailgun and they were able to fix it. Here's what their support person said/did:

"I have adjusted your sending IP within Mailgun. What happens in these situations is as you are on a shared IP all of your email is shared with multiple other users. And if you are sending to Gmail along with a few other very noisy senders (who should be on dedicated IPs) then you can run into this issue. I have adjusted your sending IP to one that has considerably less senders on it and so you should see this throttling slow down."

So after that, everything started working again just fine... Questions? Just let me know.

Gmail problems
Ning To Jamroom

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. We've been working on making sure we have everything set for our new JR site. Yesterday we had some problems making sure we had our Mailgun set up correctly (Thanks Brian!). Now it's working fine, but apparently Gmail has decided that we've been trying to send spam to some gmail accounts (I have several I've been using for testing emails) and we are blocked from sending email to them.

Here's what our email delivery log says:

421 4.7.0 [184.173.153.207 15] Our system has detected an unusual rate of 4.7.0 unsolicited mail originating from your IP address. To protect our 4.7.0 users from spam, mail sent from your IP address has been temporarily 4.7.0 rate limited.

So what do we do now? Wait? If so, how long??? Anyone else experience this? Any and all ideas welcome.

Steps to make the final move?
Ning To Jamroom

Strumelia:
I think there is no red flag over 'spamming' as long as your mailgun invalid bounces are less than 4%... or maybe 5%.

I created a quota (cloned off of my regular member quota) called Invalid Email. In my Kickbox module, I have it set to validate/check 75 or 100 member email addresses per day (I think 100 per day is the maximum for free). I then chose the 'action' for invalid results: to Unsubscribe that member (from notifications and newsletters etc) and to MOVE them to the Invalid email Quota.
Ideally, if all this were done before you go live, you could then send out your temp password Invite to your Member Quota, which would NOT send it to the members in your Invalid Email quota. This would reduce your bounce rate whenever you send out a notice to all your members. Later on you can decide what to do with the members in that invalid email quota.
I would definitely set up that quota and pay the small fee to kickbox-validate all your member addresses right now- then you could totally avoid any spam suspension and subsequent embarrassment when trying to go live. ;)

And yeah definitely send out a test email! I asked SIX trusted members to help me test. I put them temporarily into a NEW Quota I made call TEST. I then sent my test password email notice out to ONLY that quota of six people. I watched them log in from my Dashboard...so cool. They posted and said Hi, this is cool!...lol. They knew they might need to reset their password again later. Then i put them back in the regular member quota and thanked them. This was very reassuring to me before i did the REAL thing with my 5000 members. !

Great tips! Thanks so much.

google analytics question
Using Jamroom

I've got one of those questions.... I'm trying to activate the Google Analytics module on our site and it asks for the Account ID. So looking on the Analytics site, do I use the eight digit number for the Analytics account itself? Or the tracking ID for the specific property, which looks something like this: UV-12345678-2

I'm asking because, even though it asks for the Account ID, I have several different properties under that account, so I wasn't sure how they would know how to separate them out.

thanks!
Deb

ICW:
I didn't know about Kickbox until today... Don't know how I missed that one... So I just added it after reading your previous reply. I'm adding it to my "to do" list for the next JR site I'm going to set up (I have two more to do over the next three to four months). Thanks!

Should I "Kickbox" now? Does it work now? Or before we invite our members to move?
