Go to the transfer page at?/yahootransfer

Scroll to the bottom, click in the "In Process" box, and select your group from the drop-down menu.

There should be a grey status box at the top of the resulting page. Check that and report back on what it says.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I am moving members from Yahoo Groups to groups.io and decided to use the Direct Add feature so I have some control over the display name.? After adding about 120-150 or so, I got a message saying I had reached the limit and would be notified when it was ok to resume.? Can someone tell me how long the wait is and is this triggered by the number of users or the rate at which users are added.? I have about another 200 to add.? Thanks

I am in the process of creating a subgroup for DanburyCOCWomen.? I have the dumbest question. How do you add people to the group who are already accepted the invitation.? (I know, they have to be in the main group before they can appear in the subgroup).

Does this too have be an invitation?

Is there any literature on any of this material anywhere so I don't have to bother anyone unless I can't understand what I have read.? If there is, can you point me in that direction.??

We will be using Chat and Polls very soon so I want to be prepared for those when then come up.

Thanks

I manage a group that just fled from Y!, so my experience with Gio is a little thin.? Our group requires moderator's approval to join.

Someone with a Gmail address has sent a subscription request using IMAP's "plus addressing."? The email address is in the form username+label@gmail.com.? Gmail will accept a message sent to this address and will assign a label to it named label (it's actually an IMAP folder).? This can be a handy way to arrange your incoming mail.? (A Gmail filter is probably a better approach in this case, but I'll ignore that for the moment).

My question is: Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing?? Does Gio treat a plus address in any special way or just ignore it like an ordinary non-plus address?

Thanks for any advice.

Does anyone know about how long it takes to transfer the Yahoo group files and photos to IO? ?I set up a new IO account for my club last month. ?I cannot see any way to check on the progress of it, and the files still have not transferred.

Thank you.

Yes, it's a nice feature but there is a system load to poll all the facebook pages.?
If you would like to see a new feature to configure the frequency, post a suggestion in the beta/main group.
Thanks

Outside the realm of politics there are no legal requirements for ACCEPTING donations.

Depending upon your legal jurisdiction, there are legal issues regarding
acceptance of donations.

The legal requirements applicable to a business like Groups.IO involve how they are accounted for once received.

legal opinions followed by a disclaimer saying you aren't a lawyer is to

I take it you aren't aware of the legal disclaimers required, by both
lawyers, and non-lawyers, when it comes to relaying information about
the law.

Why would it not be legally possible to accept donations nation-wide?

Because literally every possible legal jurisdiction within the United
States, has its own rules on both soliciting, and accepting donations.

They aren't taxable by the states the donors live in like payments for

I'm currently using a test group to check out groups.io with a view to migrating our yahoo group later this year.?
I love the Facebook integration feature. Once a month we give our members very short notice as to whether or not a weather-dependent event is going ahead or not. I would love it if rather than having to post this news on both Facebook and our newsgroup pages, I could just post it on Facebook and the newsgroup would be automatically updated within say 10 minutes.
I gather that the Facebook page update cycle is presently twice an hour. Is there any way that we could a feature to allow newsgroup owners to configure these updates to happen more frequently?
Thanks

I have a member who is not receiving his own posts to the group.

Some email providers, such as GMail, don't send listmail that originated
with the recipients email address.

That might be what is happening here.

My suggestion is to _not_ uncheck that box.

For those who unsubscribed from your list, by writing a filter to toss
it into the spam box, that notice from Groups.IO is the only indicator
they will have that something has changed.

Don't be surprised to:
* get a flood of message from people who haven't sent a message in
years, accusing you of spamming them. (They unsubscribed, by sending
list-mail to spam.);
* see a number of very upset list contributors being automatically
unsubscribed, due to the list being perceived as spam;

I would rather them receive an email from me rather than groups first
but don’t want to delay.

I concur with Jim that they should hear about it from you in advance,
via a Special Notice in your Yahoo Group. That way you could tell them
to expect the system message and your Welcome notice.

On one list that I thought was dormant, the only notification that the
list-owner made, was on a YouTube video. I didn't even know that there
was a YouTube channel affiliated with that list.

Our transfer just went through today!

I'm offline for five or six days, and come back to my email, discovering
half a dozen lists I subscribe to on YahooGroups, are now at Groups.io.

Did Mark manage to automate the entire process, or are more groups
migrating from YahooGroups now, than back in April?

Has anyone had any experience or legal advice on whether we can transfer their info to the Groups.io forum without first obtaining there express permission to do so?

This is where you need to have a discussion with both a solicitor that
specializes in Privacy Law, especially the GDPR, and a lawyer that
specialises in copyright law, in whichever legal jurisdiction you are
in. It would also be helpful is the latter was also well-versed in US
Copyright law.

Almost a decade ago, I migrated most of my lists from YahooGroups, to
another platform. At that point in time, the big issue was copyright.
According to one lawyer I talked with, because I didn't have explicit
permission to migrate individual messages to their new home, doing so
might be a copyright violation. However, the same lawyer continued that
I had implicit permission, if the only thing that was changing, was the
domain name of the list: list@... migrating to list@....
Furthermore, regardless of technical legalities, I probably wouldn't be
sued, due to a combination of how expensive court cases are, and my low
net-worth.
IOW, if I contested it, I could run up court costs, such that regardless
of judgement amount, the only winners would be the lawyers.
This is not be the type of case a US based lawyer would take on
contingency. I would also be encumbered with fairly high legal bills,
even if I won.

#####

In terms of GDPR compliance, the big issue is "the right to be
forgotten". Technically, the list-owner is supposed to delete the
messages, upon request. As a practical matter, if one gives the user the
tools to delete their own messages, then the list-owner can request the
individual to delete their messages.

#####

I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.

Look at the message online. Is there a blue tag at upper right that says "Edited?" An example can be found here.

If present, this would suggest that the message has been modified since it was originally posted to the group, and perhaps the attachment was removed at that time. Click on the tag to see the revision history.
