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.
