Re: How long does it take to transfer
Ken,
In your original topic Bruce & I both gave you a link to the transfer page. Down at the bottom Click the button for the Yahoo Group Instructions. Review all of? that. The pull-down is at the bottom, over to the right. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: How long does it take to transfer
Robert,
It does depend on how much content the group has that needs to be collected, but eleven days seems extreme. ?
Are the checkboxes grey (disabled)? That would indicate that the form thinks you've given the go ahead, and the data collection should be "in process". Look for any notices you may have received after the one in Step 3 (Inbox, Spam, Trash, wherever one might have been delivered). The transfer stalled on a couple of my groups for having a larger total photo storage than would fit in my (Basic) plan. The transfer agent emailed me with a "what should we do" question. ?
I think you can reply to [email protected], or contact [email protected] and name both the Y!group and the Groups.io group. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: How long does it take to transfer
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI¡¯ve been waiting patiently until I heard the queue was running around 2-3 days...AFTER you accept the transfer agent as a group Moderator and send notification that you're ready. Well I completed steps 0 through 4 on 3/8 and still waiting. I have checked the ¡°In Process¡± pulldown and it shows my group¡¯s name. Is it possible my request has fallen through the cracks? Is there anyone I could be checking with? ========================== On 19 Mar 2018, at 1:12 PM, Bruce Bowman <bruce.bowman@...> wrote: ?

Re: Can someone explain to me... unsubscribed for marking a message as spam
At the risk of beating a dead horse, one last note for the newbies...
A little over a month ago, all of a sudden the entire groups.io domain was being flagged as a phishing site by Norton, AVG, and perhaps others. I had just transferred my group and spent a lot of time convincing my members that we hadn't made a big mistake in abandoning Y!G and all the "red banners of death" they were experiencing were just a false alarm. Mark and many others turned in reports telling these providers that groups.io was fine; nonetheless, at least one internet security provider continued to flag the groups.io web site as a source of malware for more than a week. As it turned out, a single spam report to Norton/Symantec may have been the source, which propagated through the other providers like wildfire.? This event convinced me that handling of spam reporting is not something that we can play fast and loose with.?I can't speak for other group owners, but having a member occasionally get bumped off -- and the mild annoyance of reinstating them -- is a small price to pay to avoid a repeat of that.? Is it irritating? Yes. Complaints of this nature will no doubt continue to filter in here because we're the only ones willing to listen and respond. But to have any real impact, they need to be directed to the source of the problem...one's own ESP.? Thanks for listening to my rant. Bruce |

Re: Can someone explain to me... unsubscribed for marking a message as spam
Chris,
I was going to take a small step back at this point because I don't want to risk triggering an Edit War, even by accident, although so far I haven't seen anything material that I would change anyway. Feel free to edit. I ran out of weekend and am not likely to return to the wiki much during the work week. ? However, I have added the "Notice to Member" in the space you left based on the one referred to me yesterday; having just spotted how to insert a horizontal line (I hope!) I am about to put up a copy of the current Notice to Owner & Moderators. Very nice! Thank you!

Re: Transferring UK Group

Does the automated transfer process have a way to translate underscores in the name to something else?You have to create the new group before you can initiate a transfer, so this issue with acceptable characters should be encountered upon group creation and has no bearing on the transfer agent. I suspect the underscore restriction has something to do with the subdomain addressing that one encounters in groups.io when creating subgroups. Y!G has no subgroups. Bruce |

Re: Can you move messages but not members?
Tammi,
We are preparing our yahoogroup before we make the move. Our admin is wondering if we can move messages but not members. Can we? What Bruce said: yes but don't. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: How long does it take to transfer
The transfer itself does not take long, but there is a waiting list, so it won't be done immediately. As best I can tell, groups are being transferred in order of request. Last I heard the queue was running around 2-3 days...AFTER you accept the transfer agent as a group Moderator and send notification that you're ready.

Re: Transferring member emails and archived messages
Ken,
I have just established a new Group and want to transfer the archived messages and member emails from my old Yahoo Group to the new Groups.io group. Not sure how to do this. ?

Re: Can you move messages but not members?
If the members aren't moved first, the messages cannot be linked to any existing member accounts, and will instead be linked to the group owner. Generally speaking it's unlikely that's what your group members will want.
The same goes for files and photos and all other group content. Hope this helps, Bruce |

Re: Disappearing highlighting
There are some group and member settings that might bear on this. Hopefully others have played with these settings enough that they know more about what they do than I currently do.
Group settings...check Admin->Settings->Message Formatting. Normalize HTML emails will strip colors and such. Force HTML emails will make sure it's sent out as HTML but this might not be too friendly to some email clients. Leaving both unclicked should forward whatever is received, at least to those receiving Individual Messages (more on that below). Plain text only will strip all formatting.?Pick your poison. Now click on the "Subscription" tab for your individual preferences, which contains personalized settings. "Individual emails" should receive whatever the group settings recommend. I believe the full featured digest setting is kinda like "normalize HTML emails" in that it will preserve fonts and size but strip colors, CSS, etc. Plain digest is [probably] like plain text only. I don't know about the daily summary. The good thing about some of these plain text formats is that they contain no active hyperlinks and are thus less likely to be flagged as malicious/spam. What to do depends on what you want it to do, which was not explicit in your inquiry. Hope this helps, Bruce |
