Hi All, It looks like the subscribe by email approach is working well for non-Google users which is great news. Unfortunately all it's not yet perfect, a few subscriptions are failing when I attempt to confirm the pending request with the googlegroup server reporting that it can't confirm the

Good day Robert, The message is correct in how I joined this email subscription group without using a Gmail address. Is there an email subscription group for VSG? Rizzen On 06/04/2021 13:31, Robert Osfield wrote: Hi All, I have feedback that the email subscription route is working for non

Hi All, I have feedback that the email subscription route is working for non google account users, so I have updated the introduction message for the osg-users googlegroup. Could folks review what I've written and let me know if it's clear, links look correct etc. Thanks, Robert -- New welcome

There appears to be a perception that you can only join the osg-users group using a Google account. This isn't correct, plenty of folk have already joined using non google email addresses. I did a search online about subscribing and came across the suggestion of using a url in the form:

Hi Robert, I followed your suggestion by replacing "myid" by my mail address, which isn't registered for a Google account. There was no error message and I was forwarded to the Login page. But logging in with the mail address failed with the message: "Your Google account could not be found"

I have come across a trick to ban all addresses except ones for a specified domain, I've applied this, and will see if that fixes the deluge of subscription requests. This will however reject all new subscription attempts. At best it might provide a short term breather to give folks more time to

Hi Werner, I am aware that google groups is far from ideal, falling back to at all is really a sign of how poorly the developer world is served on the support front. Hopefully, one day there will be robust and easy to use/support alternatively for forum/mailing list support so we can migrate

Hi Robert, you have my full understanding. It's a pity with bots, spam, hate etc. in the Internet. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to escape the data octopus Google. I refrain from using Google Mail, Office, Calendar, Addressbook and others.  If you use it, you have to agree in taking
