Re: 2 questions: Posting archive messages; how to moderate
|
I used this on Sunday:
Kinda complicated, but worked well once I got it set up. I did 1000 messages at a time.? You end up with a .TXT file for each 1000 messages.? It's very messy - each group message has all the headers.? But it could be searched?in the future.? I then uploaded these text files (1000 messages each) to the files section of my group.? Our yahoo group has been quiet of late, but there is some history that I thought needed to be preserved.? We had about 6500 messages in the old group.
I also didn't auto-add anyone to the group - I sent a message to the old group inviting them to add themselves to the new group.? I figured it was a way to clean it up (many group members were either bouncing or set to no email anyway).??
I had to manually download about 1000 pictures from the yahoo group as well, but it allowed me to get the new group set up in a matter of a couple hours, so I avoided the conversion process.
We have an absentee owner in one group that I¡¯m moving here as a free basic group.? We want to preserve a message archive that¡¯s very valuable to our members. I¡¯m thinking about posting our old messages that reside in a folder on my computer to our new group here. I know they would all post under my name. But would that work? There might be 5000 or more messages.
Also can someone point me to instructions on how to moderate and approve or reject messages? In a group that the transfer agent is working on, all our members are moderated all the time to prevent incorrect advice from being posted.
Thank you.
