Re: my yahoo group was transferred, but nothing seems to be happening. What am I missing #access

Probably simple human factors rather than anything technical. Our group went quiet for a few days post-transfer. We spent a lot of time pre transfer trying to keep folk aware of what was happening, but it was a little odd. As well as Jeremy's comments on the Y! side, try sending a special notice to the group (this overrides most email subscription settings) asking them to simply reply to that one message. And/or contact your normally most active members with a direct message askibg then to confirm. You should also be checking the group activity, and in particular the email delivery history. Y! used to get away with a lot of stuff simply by being an 800lb gorilla, GIO are at pains to play by the rules for email which can have consequences for some email addresses.? Also, we've found that quite a few members changed their email addresses over the years on Y! without necessarily removing the old addresses, or rejoined the group with a new id 'cos they forgot the old one etc., all of which have been carried over to GIO. Looking at the email delivery history, and members with bouncing email can be quite enlightening...

I would suggest you send a message to it (the Yahoo group) saying that it has been transferred to Gio, and posts should now be made there (give new group details); and enforce this by setting the Yahoo group to moderated - you can than reject all or most posts, with an appropriate message. |
