Re: How long before transfer of Yahoo Group?

 

I am having the same problem.
I created the groups.io group. ? no subgroup involved.?
I clicked the Start New Trasfer button
I sent an invite to my Yahoo group from the Yahoo group invite panel to [email protected]
4 days later [email protected]?accepted the invitation. ?That was Tuesday. ?It's now Friday.
I made [email protected] a moderator on my Yahoo group.?
I was expecting an email directing me to make the?[email protected]?member a moderator. ?That hasn't arrived. ?Perhaps I moved to early?
I expected the In Process selection to offer something other than a "-". ?
What do I do next??


Re: Help with Removal of Email IO Group Links

 

Just discovered something new!! ?Hopefully this will help you, Mystic - in the settings section, under privacy, if you choose "mask all email addresses in the web archives", it seems to remove all verbiage that you're trying to get rid of. ?This appears instead....at least for me!!!...as clickable links but the individual addresses are gone:

?Groups.io Links:
You receive all messages sent to this group.

Re: can I make a group "email only"?

You can kinda accomplish this with hashtags. Create a hashtag with the name of your choice. Click the "use by Mods only" box and set Topic Duration to one hour (or one day, or whatever appeals to you).?

After that time period each post with that hashtag will be deleted from the message archive...however, it will delete it for everybody, including the Moderators. Like Shal, I know of no way to keep it on the site while hiding it from the other subscribers.

You also have to remember to insert the hashtag every time. This can be enforced as follows:? Go to Admin->Settings->Message Policies and click on both "Require Hashtags" and "Only Moderators Can Create Hashtags." If you only have one hashtag established, then it's the only one that will be used.

Hope this helps,
Bruce


Re: Subscribers with more than one email address.

Mary Emerson
 

Sharon,


To answer your question, I'm going through a situation where someone has two accounts with the same name, but with different email addresses. I find that the older account has dominance; if I unsubscribe the older account, the newer one takes over for a few minutes, but then the older one takes over. When the older account is deleted, the newer, and preferred one, will become the permanent account.

Re: Creating a Subgroup Changes the Email Address of the Main Group? #subgroups #changing

 

Yes the old email "posting" address still works. However the messages delivered will now come from "main" or whatever you choose to rename the main group. So there is a small possibility your members will be confused or that their own email filters will need changing.?

E.g., I received a digest message from?[email protected]?<[email protected]>, where the original email was simply?[email protected]?<[email protected]>


Re: can I make a group "email only"?

 

It's unnecessary for the members to see the message archives. ?We're sending out one-time volunteer opportunities via email, they respond via email if they're interested and, once the opportunity is "taken", there's no need for anyone to see it further. ?


Re: Using BCC to Moderators

Yvette Money
 

Result of my test of "Bcc Me" :? I wrote a simple message to the main group (all of our messages are moderated) that did not contain any word about trials or testing just in case.? I then Rejected the message and clicked on "Bcc Me" and "Bcc all Moderators".? I got the original notification that my message had been rejected but no others.? By clicking on "Bcc Me" and "Bcc all Moderators" I should get 3 messages about this, shouldn't I since it was my own message that was rejected???

In the Moderators section, under Notifications, I already have "email when someone reports a message" checked so I guess that doesn't help either.

Bruce, I have gone into the members section and clicked on moderators as requested.? Under notifications, what choice might allow the "BCC to moderators" through?? I am thinking "Email when someone reports a message" ?? ?None of the other choices look like they might help.

To answer the question about whether I used the "BCC to moderators" online or through my own email - it was online.? I never do anything through my own email and always go to the group website when dealing with anything to do with the group.

One choice I have never tried is "BCC to myself" because I was trying to notify the rest of the moderators of my actions regarding a member's message so I don't know if that feature works on our site. I felt that "BCC to Moderators" would be enough to send me a message as well but it didn't send a message to myself or any of the other moderators.? I will try rejecting one of my own messages and send a "BCC to myself" and see if I get anything.? I won't put the word "Test" in it so that there are no chances of rejection through using the word (as was suggested in one of the replies).

If this is a bug,, I can understand it not working correctly and hope it can be fixed soon.? If it isn't, I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to fix it for my group and possibly others that are experiencing the same issue.
Thanks,

please i want to know how much time untille i got approval for groups io

?

This group has not yet been approved. Once it has been approved, you will be able to post to it.


Re: A whole week?

David P. Dillard
 

Have you made the link for posting in Groups.IO for your list(s) available to your members and explained the reasons for this change to them? You may also ask members to send posts to your email personally, they may be having trouble posting and you can then forward these to the new list.

Members are less likely to understand or care about the differences between list providers as they do not have to deal with their benefits or drawbacks which may make their view of this change different than yours.

Thanks Shal! Right now I'm getting a whole lot of silence from my group that transferred over today,
so I have been sending the same email to both groups. Still a lot of silence. One thing I noticed.
The emails that I sent through my IO group were lightening fast and they went through the group and
I got my copy back before my email client was even done sending and receiving. The ones sent to my
yahoo groups are taking over an hour to get there and some not at all. I had to resend. Very
frustrating! My members are really dragging their feet, but they are not the ones trying to get
email to people. I am! And I don't understand why they would want to stay there! It's absolutely
terrible there! I guess some people just don't like change.

Re: Are all group members automatically added to updates group? #addmembers

 

Michael,

Are all group members automatically added to updates group?
During a transfer from a Y!Group, yes.

"CHANGE: With yahoo group transfers, add a note saying members have been
added to the updates group."


I know one can just unsubscribe, but can this default setting be
disabled?
Not that I know of.

I thought I saw a checkbox somewhere, but I am unable to
locate it now. Did I imagine it?
It is on the Sign Up form if you create a new account via the Groups.io web site. I think that may have also been somewhere when a person accepts an invitation.

Re: Subscribers with more than one email address.

 

Sharon,

On YahooGroups, if people subscribe from 2+ email addresses, yahoo
will group them under one account. When you subscribe to a list, you
choose the address to subscribe from.
If you jump through the correct set of hoops to add those addresses to the same Yahoo account.

You could also jump through a different set to add each to its own Yahoo Account. The latter is the natural result if they are two or more Yahoo Mail addresses.

Since Groups.io only has an email address, a name, and preferences ¡ª
no other account information ¡ª aren¡¯t the two email addresses treated
as independent subscriptions?
Correct. Each subscribed email address is the ID for its own account.

There's some hope that Groups.io will someday allow multiple subscription addresses to be managed under a single account.


There is an advanced setting for your account that allows for an Email Alias, but that address is not subscribed to any groups, and won't receive any group's messages - it is strictly a send-only alternative to posting from your account address.

Re: can I make a group "email only"?

 

Nancy,

We're using a group only to send notices out to our volunteers via
email, and there's no need for anyone (other than moderators) to see
all the postings. Is there some setting that would accomplish that?
There isn't a setting that restricts the Messages section any tighter than members-only. I think the idea generally is that it is up to the member whether they prefer to receive messages by email or read the group on the web.

Is there really some reason they /shouldn't/ be able to do that, or were you merely saying that it is unnecessary?

Re: Cannot create subgroup #subgroups

 

Tammi,

After I setup the group, I went to create subgroup. When I hit add, a
subgroup is not created. I've refreshed. Logged out and back in.
Does there need to be more members than just me on the main group
before setting up subs?
No, but if it is a brand-new group the parent group may need to be approved first. Some functions are disabled until the group is approved, and it may be that subgroup creation is one of them.

That's just a grasping-at-straws guess.

Re: I am ALONE HELP! [after transfer from YahooGroups]

 

dash,

I have one group that was moved some time ago and was ok.... now I
lost 2 genealogy groups and a group I had for many years. I am so
upset.
I understand that when you're in a panic it may be difficult to slow down and work things through carefully. But to help you figure this out we really need more information from you.

Re: What is a Subject Tag?

 

Nancy,

I just want to know ... what is a subject tag?
Just a bit of text you can add to the Subject line of every outbound email message from your group. They don't show up (generally) in your group's Messages section.

I've been assuming it is [my group¡¯s name] but don¡¯t know the purpose.
The idea is to give the email user some visual indication of which group this message came from, and also to allow them to make simple email filters based on the group tag in the subject. If you imagine your email inbox full of messages from various groups and individuals you can see where this may be handy.

They don't have to be the group name in full, that's why they're editable. I shortened the tag for this group to [GMF] because the full name [GroupManagersForum] takes up a lot of room in a list view of one's Inbox. The [square brackets] around the tag are technically optional, but they are very traditional and serve to separate the tag visually from the actual message topic.

Are all group members automatically added to updates group? #addmembers

 

I've just had a large group transferred and most of it looks really good. I added myself as a test member and found that the new account was already subscribed to 2 groups. The other group was "updates" with 527,000 members and single message delivery.

The last thing in the world I want is for all the group members I'm soon going to be adding to be getting single messages (even just once a week) for a very technical group that they didn't explicitly join.

I know one can just unsubscribe, but can this default setting be disabled? I thought I saw a checkbox somewhere, but I am unable to locate it now. Did I imagine it?

Re: Another Snag

Pam
 

Thanks! I'm trying to be patient, I swear, lol. Just soooo close to being done with Yahoo forever? :D

I guess my main question is - am I gumming anything up by continuing to try to do the transfer. As in, is clicking that "Go ahead with Transfer" over and over causing a problem in the queue? I really, really don't want to do that for myself or for any others. Or do you suppose it's not going through at all and it's like I haven't clicked it?

Thanks again for so much marvelous help and advice!

Pam? :)

Before we can being the transfer, you must make the [email protected] user a moderator of your group. If you already have done so, please click the 'Give Go Ahead To Transfer' button again, as Yahoo can be flaky.
I suspect this message means that the transfer agent has not yet received email confirmation from Yahoo stating that its membership application has been accepted. You might be able to see that it has in the group itself, but if Yahoo is having their usual server problems...

I click again, and get the same message. When I check these two groups in .io I'm trying to transfer, it says "No Integrations". I don't want to click this a hundred times and muck up the works, lol. But should I keep trying until I don't get that message anymore? I'm assuming that since it says "No Integrations" that it's not going through.
The "integrations" line on your home page is for RSS feeds, linking with Facebook, etc (see Admin->Integrations). It has no bearing on the transfer process.

Thoughts? I tried this last night and again this morning. I know, I know, patience is a virtue, lol. I just want to be sure I'm not adding the same request a hundred times when it went through and I didn't know it.
I suggest waiting a couple of days. Given dash's recent report and yours, I suspect something may be up with Y!G again and it may take at least that long for things to sort themselves out.

Good luck,
Bruce



Re: can I make a group "email only"?

 

More explanation needed to understand? what you want. You don't want members to see the message archive on the website? You want a one way notification system to which members cannot reply?
