Re: $110 transfer question about attachments.

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Assuming you want to transfer over from YG, everything you had there except attachments. The success of the transfer depends on how stable YG is, and right now it seems Y is unstable at times. I transferred my group January 2018, and I had my new group up and running in about three days.

Re: $110 transfer question about attachments.

 

Attachments don't get transferred.

Groups.io can transfer message archives (without attachments, however), photos, files, links and databases. Calendar entries are not copied at this time. Subscribers (members) are also transferred, maintaining ownership of each message and other group content.

Source:?
/yahootransfer

Subgroups - no dashboard that I know of. You can see a feed of latest posts by going to Your Groups, Manage My Subscriptions.

It's not the users I care about in as much that moving them across is comparatively trivial. It's the message archives that are my main concern.

I saw this in the FAQ, but it didn¡¯t really answer my concern.?

4. What gets transferred using the Transfer Agent?

Your messages and most other accessible YahooGroup content are transferred to your Groups.io group.?
$110 transfer question about attachments.

[email protected]
 

I¡¯m cool with the 110 cost to transfer and the yearly cost, but I have one question about the paid transition.

Will the ATTACHMENTs to each post come over during the transfer? I¡¯m asking because if a member goes to an older post, and expects to see an attachment mentioned in the post, it would be bad for that to be missing.

Also with SubGroups, is there a way to make both the main and sub visible from a dashboard?

Thanks for what you do!

Re: Question About Administrative Messages to Owners

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi,

Typically co-owners should be listed as ¡°owner¡±, and for each member, they must be given permission to get these messages (typically a series of checkboxes are present for each owner account that specifies sending messages like this to them).

Cheers,

Joseph

Success. I found a photo with an already relatively narrow subject and then cropped it to be as short vertically and wide horizontally as possible. When I made it my cover photo it worked out perfectly as a banner:? /g/EvanstonPFWatch. Of course, that's not to say that a photo I may want to use in the future will be likewise workable.

?

Many thanks.

Re: Question about accepting invitations #invitation

 

Hi again,

The Help says:

Welcome
?
Sent automatically to members who join an unrestricted group, or whose membership in a restricted group has been approved. A Welcome notice is always sent to new members. If the group has not created and activated a custom notice, we activate and send a default.

Go to Admin, Settings, Member Notices tab.

Question about accepting invitations #invitation

 

Hey all. I was wondering if I had to send the welcome message after someone accepts an invitation to join my group or is it done automatically?
Thanks.

To avoid the fee, you can create a new io group and do the "transfer" yourself,
inviting members to join or else just sending a message with instructions on how to join.
Users can ask to subscribe on the web site? /g/[yourgroupname]

Re: NoMail setting not right in Description

 

Group Settings - the first four have cute icons, but the last three have a circle with a slash, which I assume is can't be done.
It's true that Members cannot edit their messages, so the slash-in-circle is correct, but the other two are not right.
It is TRUE that archives are visible to subscribers only
and it is TRUE that members can set subscription to NoMail.
  • All subscribers can post to the group.
  • Posts to this group require approval from the moderators.
  • Messages are set to reply to group.
  • Subscriptions to this group do not require approval from the moderators.
  • Archives are visible to subscribers only.
  • Members can edit their messages.
  • Members can set their subscriptions to no email.

Lost message? If you wrote it on this group home page, check to see if it has been saved as a draft. Left hand menu.

In Settings, I did not check that NoMail is not permitted, but the Group Description says that NoMail cannot be selected. Yes, it can!? What might I have done wrong??
Sarah -- Say what? That's a lot of negatives. I really cannot tell what you did.

When I leave the "Disable No Email" box unchecked (meaning "no email" is enabled), it says this: "Members can set their subscriptions to no email." So far, so good.
When I go back and check the box (and click Update Group), the home page says nothing about this.

So I have been unable to get the home page description to say what you said it said. Can you send us a screenshot?

Members should be able to access Files without having to receive messages.
If you leave the box UNchecked, and they do choose to set their individual subscription to "No Email," then members should indeed be able to do this, assuming Files>Permissions is set correctly.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
