Re: questions about transferring a yahoo group to groups.io
Olivia, Either with the email +subscribe command (listed on the group's home page), or by clicking the "Join This Group" button on the group's home page. If they use the email command they are not

Big sigh of relief! Thanks, Shal! Olivia_J -- Olivia_J *On the internet, nobody knows you're a cat*

Re: how to limit visibility of archives?
Olivia, Yes it is. I didn't mean to imply that setting isn't available. Yet now reading what I wrote I see I needed to be clearer. Correct. -- Shal

Re: how to limit visibility of archives?
Olivia, As you've already discovered, that setting is available in the drop-list. I realize now that my description implied otherwise (that both must be public or neither). Sorry for the

Re: how to limit visibility of archives?
Shal, I just went there and found the three options. I'm trying to understand this better, because the word "private" seems to mean something different in yahoo from in groups.io. Here are the three

Re: how to limit visibility of archives?
Thanks, Shal. Darn. This is a deal-breaker. I absolutely must have the group listed in the directory, but I absolutely can't have the archives be public. DARN. This would be so simple to change. Can

Re: how to limit visibility of archives?
(I'm clarifying my wording here as an opportunity to demonstrate a feature of groups.io not found in Yahoo Groups: the ability to edit a message that's already posted.) Olivia, On the Settings page
how to limit visibility of archives?
In my new group here, I see that archives are "visible to anyone." I would like archives to be visible to subscribers only, as I see is the case in at least one other group I belong to. But I can't

Re: questions about transferring a yahoo group to groups.io
Thanks, Shal!!! One more question or potential stumbling block: Once I've established the group, suppose a friend recommends it to someone without a groups.io account. I understand that people don't

Re: questions about transferring a yahoo group to groups.io
Olivia, Hmm... It might have parsed better if I had used a couple of commas: But what I really meant is "read the whole thread". The first message in it has paragraphs marked "good news" and "bad

Re: questions about transferring a yahoo group to groups.io
Thanks, Shal. I'm not sure what you mean by the statement below, and am wondering whether there's a typo in it. Even after changing "in that message" to "is that message" (?), I've tried and still

Re: questions about transferring a yahoo group to groups.io
Olivia, There almost is. It is a work in progress, and for now you have to download the messages yourself and then ask [email protected] to do the import

Re: questions about transferring a yahoo group to groups.io
Hi Olivia, Nothing happens to the Yahoo Group. The only thing the transfer agent does is read the email addresses out of the Manage Members list. Perfect. When and if you want to close down access

I forgot to ask: is there a way to transfer the posts (archives)? I'm guessing there is not. Sent from my iPhone

Hi Shai, Nice to see you over on this end.:-) I'm on the verge of transferring my yahoo group over here. I've already created the group and I've discovered the email to [email protected], etc. I

Re: settings up a group
You can also have things checked on the Settings page to send you an email when there are memberships pending and a few other things. Each will have instructions on what you can do by email, if

Re: settings up a group
Marvin, The top banner of Groups.io pages has a link to "Find or Create a Group". Click that. Then in the left column will be a "Create A Group" link. Click that, fill in the fields, and click the

Hi. Want to set up a couple of groups. So how do I go about it. And also need some trusted people, as co-owners, co-moderators. Any one want to help me out. Also what are the e-mail commands for

Re: Download Archives
Duane, I've not done it, that assertion was based on the use of standard .mbx format for the messages. I'm pretty sure that's the format Thunderbird itself uses - each mailbox is represented by two

Download Archives
Shal, You mentioned in a post on Beta that it should be possible to import the downloaded archives into Thunderbird. I haven't checked into it much yet, but thought maybe you could offer a little
