If so, you can set up a process that requires people to answer questions or whatever you set up. You decide to admit them as members. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Screening-New-Members-Using-the-Pending-Subscription-Notice

Just an important point - people who are transferred from Yahoo Groups, people you "direct add" (a premium feature), or people you invite using your group invitation process, do not get the Pending Subscription Notice.

I really don't think you can. You could how ever set it up to where you ask the question in the notice. If they respond or if they respond no reject their subscription.

Our group is for a club, and any prospective members must already be a member of that club.

In the group description text, it asks a prospective member to send a 'please add me' email to the group owner, including their membership info.

Hi Janis,

In Admin, Settings. ?(You must scroll down the menu on the left side to Settings)
Then there are tabs on that page - Member Notices is the fourth tab.

Re: NEW transfer status information

#20489

It has been impressive about how responsive Groups.io has been, but I also feel like we have been stuck in Step 1 for a while also.? We paid for premium on Saturday 10/20, but we haven't made much progress.

Hoping for a better day for the Yahoo servers so we can all get our data out!

I found the Member notices button finally!! At the top of the settings page!!

Rob,

On your group home page, there are two buttons - Apply for Membership and a green Login. You can't delete them.

I am assuming your group is a restricted one.?

How to remove the "Apply for membership" button.

#20485

Hi all,

Like the subject says...

Our group is for a club, and any prospective members must already be a member of that club.

In the group description text, it asks a prospective member to send a 'please add me' email to the group owner, including their membership info.

Lots of folks don't bother to read, and just click the button.

To alleviate this, I'd like the "Join" button gone altogether.

I couldn't find anywhere in the setup to accomplish that, so how do I get rid of the "Join" button?

Thanks a lot,

Rob

I am the member that requested a transfer. There the possibility that someone else requested a transfer as well but very unlikely and no way they requested it to the groups name I listed because I am the only member of that group.

Darci -- Could it be that someone began a transfer to groups.io months/years ago and abandoned it?

It sometimes?happens is someone without proper authority attempts to do a transfer only to get stuck when they realize they can't promote the transfer agent to a Moderator. So the agent remains a member of the group and the whole thing ends up in limbo.

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948?for instructions on how to check status. As Duane said, if your transfer status still says something like "be sure to invite [email protected]"?or something to that effect, and you find that?[email protected]?is already subscribed, you will have to delete the existing subscription and send a new invitation.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Re: #transfer #transfer

#20483

From Bruce's detailed instructions:

7.?Return to the bookmarked page (/yahootransfer). Click on the big green button at the bottom that says "Set Up New Transfer."

8. Enter the name of your Yahoo group and the name of your groups.io group in their respective boxes. Do NOT enter any domain information (i.e.: leave off @yahoogroups.com or @yahoogroups.co.uk), just the group names.

Click the big green "Start Group Transfer Process" button at the bottom of the page.?

(You have now completed Step 2 of the instructions)

?

9. Go to your YAHOO GROUP (not your groups.io group) and log in. Send a membership invitation to "[email protected]". If you've never done this before, instructions can be found at

Re: Can not get transfer request to show up in the "In Process" list

#20482

Do I just sent the invite (step 10) or do I need to go back to step 7 (Set Up New Transfer) and start there?
On a related note, does the "Existing Transfers" update at step 7 or only between steps 10 and 11 (some unknown time between the yahoo request to join and groups.io getting (and processing) that request). That could be a problem, especially with how buggy yahoo groups has been, how can we know if the request went out or if groups.io got it?
I saw the [email protected] show up:

To ask this another way, how long (or what steps need to happen) between step 7 and the "Existing Transfers" box to be updated to say ... we have received the invite...?

OK so I had to click on "Start Group Transfer Process" to get to the next page before sending the invitation.

Thank you for clarifying the mess up was on my end. I must have fixed it because now I can see, from the pull down menu, that I have one transfer in process and when I click my group I receive the message that you my invite has been received and will be accepted soon. Now I can wait easily.

Thank you Duane and to everyone who is making this transition as easy as possible for people. I know it is a lot of stress on all of you and answering the same questions over and over again. I appreciate it.

According to the steps in /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673 it only depends on how long you wait to click on the button, step 16.

No, you need to follow the steps in /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673 exactly.? The transfer is initiated before inviting [email protected] to your YG.

On a related note, what should the hangtime between setting the transfer agent as a moderator and the transfer page updating with the go-ahead button? The how-to guide makes it seem largely instantaneous.

First off a huge thank you to all behind groups.io as I am sure you are getting slammed with transfer requests like crazy. I do not want to add to the logjam if possible so I want to do a sanity check here.

I have a small group that I want to transfer from Yahoo.

--- I made a new group here on groups.io
--- I upgraded to premium.
--- I went back to Yahoo and invited [email protected] to join the group.

My question - if things are correct, will they automatically accept the invite or is that where it is a manual process of waiting a few days for acceptance by a human comes in? I totally get it taking them a few days to work through the queue and I am fine with waiting there as long as that is where the first wait is. (I just don't trust Yahoo that the invite went out.)

I appreciate whomever posted where to check the transfer status too, even though I know we won't show there yet.

Thank you.

Doug,
You don't forward a header photo to groups.io, you change it yourself.
There has been a link posted on how to do that.... maybe someone will repost it for you.

Hello.

I am unable to find the original file of my group's picture in my computer to send you, so will probably have to copy the one being used on Yahoo. No problem - I can do this with good quality.

This has my group name on it, and the second line shows the number of members (which can vary from day to day).

Should I photoshop out the text before forwarding it to Groups.io, and does Groups.io add the name of my group and members count to the new picture?

I think yahoo added this wording, but I can't remember..

My Thanks.
