¡°Invitation To Be Sent¡± message

 

I have changed the name of my group, so I need to edit the ¡°Invitation To Be Sent¡± message because it has the old email addresses in there. ?The message doesn¡¯t appear to be editable. ?

How do I change the wrong addresses?

I have a question/issue. When I click on a link in one of these messages, I get a warning about it being a suspicious link.
It might be worth contacting the originating member directly and get them to confirm that it was actually they who sent it and that nobody has hacked their email account.

Yes, after the year is up. (no refunds)? The other option is to try to move the group yourself.? Depending on how large the group is and how much information needs to be moved, you might find it a bargain.

There's no provision for importing data to a group here.? You can upload files and photos yourself though.? Take a peek at the instructions for doing a complete transfer at /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673

Well maybe. Taking "scottishmoths" at face value then you are a UK - based group. It is thus entirely possible that your would - be subscriber has a btinternet.com email address, or perhaps btconnect.

A problem has been identified with sending emails with a BT address from an email client, whereby something along the route ignores and strips off the "+whatever" part of the intended recipient and sends it to whatever preceded the plus sign.

This was reported to BT a few weeks ago but AFAIK there has been no resolution to it yet. If your prospective member can send an email from his mail provider's web UI then it should get to the correct recipient address; tests done hitherto by me and others who are similarly affected have all worked correct if the web UI is used.

If this suggestion works please let us know later on in this thread.

Chris. (Also in the UK with a BT email address!)


Re: Easy Transfer cost #transfer

 

As of now (Oct. 2019), premium membership costs $220 for a year. Transferring from Yahoo Groups to groups.io apparently would require that I pay for a year of premium membership. I see in this thread (and elsewhere) that I can downgrade to basic after the transfer, but will I be able to do so after just a month and receive a refund for the balance of the year ($200)? Or will I have to eat the cost of a full year of other services that I don't need (or can live without) before downgrading?


Upgrade Plan to Yearly #transfer

 

I'm trying to upgrade to Yearly Premium but the charge is not going through. It shows my plan is Yearly Premium? but it shows the next payment due on 10-20 and that is past. The only charge to my credit card is $10 for a monthly plan I chose when I first signed up. I want to transfer a Yahoo group but I'm stuck because my upgrade will not go through. Can anyone help me?

Thank you,
Alex Zaleski


Upgrade Plan to Yearly

 

I'm trying to upgrade but the charge is not going through. It's showing a payment due date that's already past. What can I do?

Re: Cover page photos

 

Use PhotoShop, merge or stitch several pics side by side so it becomes a single picture.? Post as a single picture.? Remember the aspect ratio is about 3 wide by 1 tall.

Transferring a Yahoo Group to Groups.io #yahoo #transfer #askmembers

 

I manage a small (<25) private Property Owners Association group in the Yahoo Groups.? I would like to transfer everything over to a new group in Groups.io - including member data and files, in particular.? I found that Yahoo provide tools for saving all of a groups data but I am not sure how to transfer and set it up here in Groups.io.? I have not formed the new group yet.? And to be honest, I have not done much research into this yet either.? Are there any instructions or tools to help me do this in Groups.io?

You can only have one picture there.? If you're seeing a group with more than one, they were merged into a single picture before uploading. (I did that on one of my groups.)

Yes, the price changed on Tuesday, October 22 2019 @ 9:00 am PDT.


Also, if I just pay for 1 month of premium and transfer,
You can't do a transfer by upgrading for one month, it has to be for a whole year.

He's trying to send an email to the group, [email protected], before becoming a member.? He needs to send a blank email to [email protected] and all should be well.

Could be any of them catching it, but my money would be on TrendMicro.? I would expect any program putting up a notice like that to identify itself.

I don't think it takes very long for the notice to change to "We've received the invite..." and update.? Once that happens, you make [email protected] a moderator and continue the process.? If you keep sending invites after one has been accepted, I believe it drops you to the bottom of the list.? People have been reporting that it can take almost 2 days for an invitation to actually be sent by Yahoo, so I'd (try to) be more patient.

Locked Price doubled?

 

Hi-
I just went to pay the $110 to transfer my Yahoo group and see that the price has gone from $110 to $220? Is that true??

Also, if I just pay for 1 month of premium and transfer, will I still have access to my files and archives that transferred over as long as it doesn¡¯t take up more that the allotted amount of space for the Basic plan?

Please advise.
Thanks,
Twinkle

If you make your new Groups.io group a member of the Y!G then any email sent to members will also be sent to the new Group in the normal way. Yes? Or am I wrong?
No, Groups.io will not become a member of the YahooGroup.

You invite [email protected] to become a member of the YahooGroup
when [email protected] accepts the invitation, you must promote [email protected] to become a Moderator of the YahooGroup

[email protected] does not forward YahooGroups emails to Groups.io members



Then when the transfer is done put everyone at Y!G group on moderation and /or no mail. Owner and moderators still get mail and deal with it. This should catch the stragglers and new applicants.
Yes, Owner and Moderators can reject / reply to posts sent to YahooGroup and remind them to use the new Groups.io posting email address
