Re: Comments on photos
Our group, also, would like to be able to comment on photos.? We would also like to be notified when a new photo is posted and would like the ability to rearrange photos within an album.? These were all feature that we had in Yahoo that we miss very much (although that's about the only thing about Yahoo that we miss).

Re: moving a message to a different subgroup
John,
Concern is someone will ask 'too general 'a question in a subgroup,You didn't say if you mean while the message is pending, or after it has posted. The former case has been requested in the beta group (the Groups.io official "suggestion box"): That topic is now locked, but you might start a new one to see if you can "bump" the idea. Redirecting the posting while pending, and specifically from a subgroup to the parent group, seems like the easiest case to implement and understand. In this case you know that the posting member is a member of the parent group. Redirecting a pending message to a subgroup, from either the parent or another subgroup, might require that the poster be a member of the destination subgroup. Moving or copying a message after it has posted (if that's what you had in mind) poses some of the same issues as editing a message. One big question is whether the message is sent by email to the destination group members, or whether that should be the moderator's choice when moving/copying the message. Shal |

question about banning a member for all of your groups
Hello. Is there a way to add an email address to your ban list for all of your groups without having to click into each group and or subgroup, then click admin then members, then toggle the list to show the band ones? I have 2 groups and a few subgroups and I want to ban this person from ever joining all of them with one single action but having to do this 4 times is not at all fun. If there is no way to do this I will suggest this on the beta groups list.
Take care all. |

If you choose to invite some people then yes, bad addresses and ignored invites are pretty much a no-op for you. I think you'll be told by the invite page if the address is actually bad (rejected by the receiving service), and the ignored addresses may hang around on the Invite page for your convenience in sending a re-try later.

Re: Transfering members
We only had about 200 users and moved them all. Based on someone or some app marking the welcome message as spam, we lost some users. The ones who want to be in group came back right away after I sent out message to both groups telling them we moved and would not be sending any more emails or posts to yahoo group.

The one tool missing from Yahoo and would be nice here is a active rating of users based on posts, logins or something done on the group. Would be nice to be able to send out bulk email to users who got to zero and tell them to post or click on this link to stay active. Dain On 1/7/2018 10:02 AM, Janet Smith wrote:

Re: #integration new io group question
#integration
Nancy,
My original Yahoo groups were Camp and another (which in io terms is aYou could make a primary "Camp" group at Groups.io and transfer both Camp and Camp2 into it. It won't matter that some of the same addresses are in both. For the "another" group, you could make an independent group at Groups.io, just as you had at Yahoo, or you could make "another" be a subgroup of Camp. One factor in your decision should be whether the members of "another" are also members of Camp (or ought to be). That's because at Groups.io, every member of a subgroup must also be a member of the primary group. If you transfer the "another" group at Yahoo into a subgroup of Camp at Groups.io, all the email addresses will be copied into both "Camp" and "another" at Groups.io. Again, excluding any that are already there. After the fiasco of the new group trials & errors I have 370, I¡¯mThe good news is that the Groups.io transfer agent copies all the email addresses from your Yahoo Group(s) straight into your Groups.io group. You don't need to invite the members, and they don't need to accept or join anything in order to receive group messages and post by email. To access Files, Photos or other web features they will need to log in to Groups.io, but that's pretty easy - nothing like all the rigamarole they had to go through with Yahoo. The only members you are likely to lose in the process are those whose email address had bouncing status in Yahoo Groups - those don't get copied. And then, even some which weren't marked as bouncing at Yahoo may turn out to be obsolete addresses and will end up bouncing at Groups.io. But you shouldn't lose any "good" email addresses. Shal |

Transfering members
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI have transferred a small Yahoo group over here for testing purposes and we're pretty happy, so I'm setting up a test group for a large Yahoo group.? I would like some input on the user transfer part of things.? ? We have some 1400+ members on the rolls, but I know that several have passed on and families haven't removed their email addresses.? And I have many in my community who are not computer literate, so many will simply rejoin if they change email addresses, so they are on the rolls multiple times.? And we have members who joined years ago never to be heard from again.? So I am thinking this is a good time to clear the slate and had been thinking of requiring that people rejoin on their own or email me and request to be invited.? Either of these options is more work for me, so I am wondering what the downside is to simply inviting all 1400+ to move with us.? ? If they don't get the invite and aren't using their email address any longer for any reason, is this just a no-op for me?? I won't ever see them on the new group.? Their invites will simply go into cyberspace somewhere?? Or if they get the invite and opt not to opt-in, that, too, is a no-op from my perspective?? ? Was wondering what others' experiences have been along these lines.? ? Thanks. ? Janet Smith ? ? |
