Mbox imports
Mark just posted this on the API subgroup of beta.? Since it's not a group that many would pay attention to (52 members), I thought I should repost it here for clarification of some previous messages:

Re: Messages Display Default
Thanks, Duane ...? That does the trick ... but since my groups (only 2) are already displayed on the screen of the overview page, my inclination is to just double-click on the desired group instead of going through the extra step of using the "Your Groups" drop-down.? Oh, well ...

Re: After transfer from yahoo, hundreds of emails listed in "direct add" in each subgroup

Questions:Parent groups members are NOT automatically added to subgroups. The people already there now are those that were added via the transfer operation. 2. Is there a way to clear all these emails out of the "Direct Add" so that it's blank and I can directly add people myself? (Perhaps that'll be fixed by question 1...)No. All members of a subgroup must be members of the parent group, too. As a corollary to this, there is no way to Direct Add someone from outside your group directly into a subgroup. You have to Direct Add them to the parent group first...after that's completed, you can then Direct Add them to the subgroup.? You can, however, Invite someone directly to a subgroup. When that person accepts the invitation, he will automatically be added to BOTH the primary group and the subgroup. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Why-use-a-Subgroup Bruce |

Re: [SOLVED]Catch-22: Can't Transfer Yahoo Group
Doug, I've actually had and solved this problem. Yahoo sent out a message several months ago that some people ignored. It stated that if you owned or moderated a group with an ID other than *@yahoo.com, many of your privileges would soon be disabled. At that I was owning the group with "marks@..." which was a Yahoo service, but slightly different mail agent.? AT&T validates the login password, too. Fearing future difficulties (but not anticipating the shutdown), I created a second ID, lvmarks2000@.... I subscribed it. Then with my original ID, I made the second ID also a moderator. Never touched the second ID for months. It was just insurance. Then, when I needed to do a PG Offline download, the original ID wouldn't work. BUT THE SECOND ONE DID! There is no reason to think that this same procedure won't work for you: 1) Create a real, native Yahoo ID 2) Give it Moderator privileges using your original ID 3) Give that ID to GIO and ask them to try again. BTW, the founder of GIO seems to be an honorable person. If the group doesn't upload, I have every reason to believe that he will refund your money. Larry |

That's been a common Yahoo error ever since the 2013 Neo redesign. The "browser ritual" might help: Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Tried all flavors, Derek -- with and without < > and "? " Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content.
You can invite 100 more members today.
Send email to invite people to join your
group. Enter email addresses or Yahoo IDs separated by commas.You can
add first name and last name of the members you are inviting.? Example:
firstname lastname <emailid@...> Invited users need to accept the invitation, sign-in with their Yahoo ID to become members.

Re: Catch-22: Can't Transfer Yahoo Group
Doug, To invite new members, Yahoo requires that they have a "Yahoo ID" [account] with a valid Yahoo email address.
The text on the Invite Members page says you can enter an email address.
See the screen shot at Step 3 here: SHAME on IO for not knowing this, and simply providing <[email protected]>. Yeah, like you're the first person to ever try this. And stupid of me to have pre-paid $220 (in STEP 1) without being able to execute Step 3. Well, that may be true. On that same wiki page see the section Test your ability to promote members in your Yahoo Group -- In Step 4 you have one more requirement beyond simply inviting the transfer address.

Catch-22: Can't Transfer Yahoo Group
Unable to "invite" <[email protected]> to become a member of my existing Yahoo group, which is Step 3 in the transfer process.
To invite new members, Yahoo requires that they have a "Yahoo ID" [account] with a valid Yahoo email address. SHAME on IO for not knowing this, and simply providing <[email protected]>. And stupid of me to have pre-paid $220 (in STEP 1) without being able to execute Step 3. I seek a way out of this, either: 1) Finding a way to invite a valid Yahoo-ID equivalent of <[email protected]> or 2) Getting my money back, for blatant misrepresentation on the part of IO |
