ModTools issues
File sending
There are multiple known issues with Freecycle.org files.
- The option of sending files to all members of a group has been removed from the modtools menu. Suggested workaround is to send an Admin.
There are sporadic reports of problems with the following:
- File sending from the member menu.
- File sending when rejecting a post. Workaround: copy file text and paste into reject message.
- Automatic files not going out upon joining or leaving.
The cause of the problem may be certain special characters. For best results use plain text files, avoid special characters like ® and test your file before you send it out.
Invitations to join a group
Invitations are not going out to people who are not yet members of Freecycle.
