Re: Creating New Groups - Limit?

to move all of our groups from yahoogroups to groups.io, it means creating a total of 24 new groups.? I was able to create 12 of them yesterday and then 8 this morning.? Is there a limit as to how many groups we can create at a time?? I still have 4 more to add.Margery -- As you might imagine under the circumstances, this has been reported by others recently (ref:?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19218). The speculation is that groups.io may throttle back on how quickly you can create groups as protection against spammers. Note also that all new groups undergo an initial review to ensure that they meet the?Groups.io Terms of Service. This can also introduce delays. Since Joe M has not returned with more complaints it appears to have been a temporary condition. Please let us know if you continue to have problems along these lines tomorrow. Hope this helps, Bruce |

If we migrate to groups.io does our Yahoo group cease to function and are posts no longer get available through Yahoo?The transfer agent will do nothing to your Yahoo group. All it does is copy the content. If we use the test group (which includes the word test); can the group be renamed afterwards?Yes, but it is not recommended. Better to rename it now, prior to the transfer, or having a bunch of people join and/or post. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Renaming-a-Group Our network includes over 600 members.? Can groups.io handle that volume?Easily. If we need more than 1GB of storage, how do we obtain it.You will have to either upgrade to Premium access, or delete some of your group content.? Upgrading to Premium is achieved via Admin>Upgrade and clicking on the "View/Change Plan" button.

Re: Vetting new members

In Yahoo, if a new member wanted to join the group they had to include a little about themselves, so we knew they weren't spammers. How is this done in Groups.io?Sam -- There is no "new user questionnaire" function in groups.io. But if you are using the Restricted Membership method of Spam Control, many owners use the Pending Subscription notice to poll prospective members for desired information prior to approving them. As usual, there is more information on this in the GMF wiki. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Screening-New-Members-Using-the-Pending-Subscription-Notice Regards, Bruce |

Yahoo says "Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content."? Does anyone else get this issue?As Duane stated, you have to send an invitation...from your YAHOO group. If you've never done this before, instructions can be found at?? Having said that, it sometimes happens that Yahoo will throw the above-mentioned "ugly purple box error" when an invitation is attempted. Usually, the invitation has gone out anyway. Hmmm...are you glad you're leaving them yet? To be sure, go back to the groups.io transfer page at?/yahootransfer. Pull down the Existing Transfers menu at bottom right and select the group that you're trying to transfer. A status bar should appear at the top of the resulting page. If it says something along the lines of "we have received your invitation and will accept it soon...", then everything is fine. If not, the invitation did not go out. Return to Yahoo and try again. When the transfer agent accepts the invitation, groups.io will send you an email with further instructions. Hope this helps, Bruce |

Re: Changing from Yahoo email address
On Fri, Oct 18, 2019 at 10:45 AM, Bob Miller wrote:
A number of our members had a Yahoo ID and a Yahoo email so that they could log onto and participate in the Yahoo!Groups site.Bob -- One of the advantages of groups.io is that you don't need to have to set up a separate "account," just an email address. Now that they are transferred to groups.io, their email in their profile is the Yahoo email. Is there an issue if they log into groups.io and change their email to one they regularly use? Is this even possible.Yes. The process is fairly straightforward, but some folks seem to struggle with it anyway. As you noted, they will first have to log in. It is possible to login without a password, using the "email me a link" method. However, I do recommend that all subscribers establish a login password eventually. More detailed login instructions can be found here:??/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Logging-In Once logged in, go to your Account page. This can be done by pulling down the menu at top right and selecting Account, or simply browsing to?/account The top box of your Account page should display the email address currently associated with your login. Type in your new email address, overwriting what is already there. Click the "Change Email" button, and look for the?email that will be sent to the new email address. Click on the link in that email and you will be all set. Please note that those having Premium groups are capable of changing the email address of subscribers for them. If you want instructions for that, let us know. Hope this helps, Bruce |
