John,
Out of our 2783 members, I was able to pluck out about 1,600 from the membership list by sorting the column methods and exporting each one.?
As for the non-disclosed, I was able to snag just a few.? How is this possible?? Well, the member chose to use their EMAIL as their user ID.? That was one way to hunt thru the non-disclosed listings.? The other way was a little more inventive.? When a SPECIAL notice on YG is sent out, those with non-disclosed emails can reply to the mod or owner.? When they do, your home email GETS their EMAIL ADDRESS when they reply to the the message.? Otherwise, it's not been noticed beyond these two methods.? On Geocities, we had the ability to keep emails totally anonymous and when moved to Yahoo, Yahoo kept that feature for us folks.
Glad you can be creative to snag all the members with the methods.?? Making the listing in EXCEL is easy with 'sort for duplicates' and 'filter' out the non-disclosed.? Before doing the sort and filter, make a backup of the file.?? Once done, the GroupsIO INVITE feature will work really nicely with the listing.? The cut-n-paste does take a moment for the paste buffer to load into the GroupsIO field.? It's not spontaneously instant.? Basically, that paste is coming from your computer, over the internet and filling in the INVITE field.?
With that many loaded INVITES, you will get a noticed that a GroupsIO system level moderator has to review and approve your INVITE request.? It didn't take long for that to happen.? 1/2 day.? But I wasn't in no instant hurray.? Glad it works. :) :) :)
