Linda,

Once I give the go ahead to transfer my group, what notices will be
sent to my group and when?

There are two: "You have been added ..." sent by Groups.io, and a Welcome type of Member Notice sent by your group.

Do I prepare these notices or are they standard notices Mark sends
out? Can they be edited?

The one sent by Groups.io is standard. You can't edit it but you can omit it by unchecking the bottom checkbox in the list of things to transfer. There's an example, the second message shown here:
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/5497

The one sent by your group is it's Welcome message, if you have one marked as Active. Some samples posted here:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Welcome-Message-for-Yahoo-Group-transfer

See also:
/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/14617965

That page is linked from the transfer advice page (under construction):
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

Can the invite notice be edited for all invite notices?

In the Member Notice page of your group you can have one or more versions of the Invite text you may want to use. The one marked Active will be pre-filled in the Customize Message box on the Invite page.

But as you discovered, that only controls the included portion of the message; you cannot alter the rest of the message. What I do is make my included content complete unto itself:
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/5779

On my home page, instead of my member scrolling down to the join this
group button, can I just do a link further up to say click on here to
join now.

Interesting question. You probably can; see the Promote page for the things you can put in other web pages, maybe that can be adapted for home page use.

If I have a member on moderation and I reject their posting and give
them the reason why, is that message or my reply saved anywhere on the
group

It is recorded in the Moderator Activity log. I thought it a bit peculiar that the log entry includes the text of my reply, but better there than it not being anywhere.

or do I need to send the e-mail from my e-mail account to keep a
record of it?

The reject page has checkboxes to bcc the message to yourself or to all the moderators (self included). I normally use the latter.

Shal
