Thanks

Have you tried repeatedly? I do use the Yahoo Invitation process and in the past few weeks, while all the rest of YG has been messed up, that has, too. It always takes me at least 2 tries to get an invitation out, but they have gone out eventually when I repeated it several times. The one thing that still has not worked (since Jan 27) is the membership activity log. I only know people have gotten invites and accepted when they appear on the membership list. "Files" come and go. I'm trying to update our content in preparation for transfer and it's not easy when YG isn't functioning very well. I'm thinking I may end up just transferring members and rebuilding the Files and Photos after the fact.

Instructions for Group Members?
I am a group manager in yahoo and also a member of this corresponding forum in yahoo.? For all of the reasons that have been discussed, we are considering moving our group to io.? I am wondering if anyone has written information for their old (yahoo) group about how to use groups.io in anticipation of the transfer?? Is that something you would be able to share with me as an example?
We have members of our yahoo group who have been with us for 20 years, so making this scale of change is a BIG DEAL!
Any help appreciated!

Great, many thanks Jean?and Duane.
After close to 10 years of moderating a big Yahoo group, Groups.io is gonna be a real pleasure.? After getting over the transition!? ;-)(

Sharon, I wrote: Normalize HTML Emails is similar, but gentler. It keeps simple
formatting like italic and bold, but removes most other text
formatting (font family, size, color).
I don't recall if it passes or removes embedded images. The Normalize HTML setting does allow inline images through, had to test it to be sure. There is a separate "Attachments" setting which can be used to strip attachments, including inline images. But doing that can leave an empty box where the image had been. Thunderbird shows it that way, but Groups.io's Messages section does not. Shal

Numbering of Transferred Messages
When messages are transferred, they appear to have the same dates but to have the numbers changed. Right? Any reason why?
If two lists are combined, what happens to the numbers. Are messages always sorted by date so the number doesn¡¯t matter? We would like to combine 2 large lists and a couple of smaller lists.

I think this is likely the case when yahoo claims an error while
loading the content. One of my invites went through before the
situation cleared up at least one time.

 This is
what Mark wrote yesterday in the beta group:
" There's a large backlog of group transfer requests, and I'm
trying to work through them. But what's difficult at the moment
is that I'm getting a ton of duplicated invites to Yahoo Groups
(I have 442 sitting in my mail queue at the moment). Apparently
people are getting errors from Yahoo when submitting invite
requests, and then submitting invites again, over and over. If
you get an error, most likely the invite still went through and
you do not need to submit an invite again. "

I have had that problem repeatedly on a group I still have on
yahoo.? Usually it lasts for 3 days, and then seems to sort itself
out. I just keep going back and trying to send the invite, and
eventually it seems to get through. Just another one of the ever
growing list of hiccups on yahoo.

Debbie,
?
Last night and again
this morning I tried sending an invitation to the [email protected] from my Yahoo Group that I
want to transfer to groups.io..
?
I received the
following message response from Yahoo Groups.
?
¡°Sorry, an error
occurred while loading the content.¡±
?
I tried sending
invitations to one of my other email accounts and
received the same response as the one in red above.
?
I sent an email to the GroupManagersForum
earlier today but have not received a response.
?
My question was can I request an invitation
from in any other way other than through the standard
invitation process via Yahoo Groups.

It¡¯s a page. I did find the number for the page and it won¡¯t let me use that, either. Tammi

Re: Totally private group?
I think the guidelines could be private, or public, or for that matter, nonexistent. They could, for example, say "This is a completely private group and all content is accessible only to approved and current members," which could reasonably be made public. I think it would be up to the group owner as to whether the guidelines document is to be public or private.

You may need to go to some of the other sections of the Settings page to make sure nothing is set for public view, Calendar and Wiki come to mind.

Re: Moving database from one IO group to another
The export from group.io is a CSV file.? When saving the export, change or add the extension .csv to the file, then open it with Excel.? The first line has the column headings, followed by one line for each entry.? I use it regularly.

As I added as a moderator of our Yahoo group specifically so I could move us to Groups.io, and I didn't seem to have any problems. I told the owner he may get an email asking for approval, but I think that ended up going to all of the moderators so I replied and it was done. So as someone else said, as long as you can add the Groups.io account as a moderator and set the appropriate permissions for them I would think you're good to go.

What I could also use is a page of videos on how to post messages and calendar events. Otherwise, I'll be sitting with 30 group leaders. We have a group for each interest group--fishing, reading, movies, and lots of eating activities. ;)

Thanks, Duane.

It really would help me get this moving. My group is so old, they want to 'vote' on leaving Yahoo for greener pastures.

Some YG moderators can add another moderator (not all YG moderators have this authority).
Barring that, you can down load the list of members e-mail addresses.? Groups.io lets you invite new members a 100 at a time. I considered that option for 1800 members but then the transfer went through.? PG Offline may be able to let a moderator back up the databases, it seems more for list owners; I asked if moderators could download but didn't get a reply.? My backup plan was to have a couple of fellow members back up the files and photos sections to upload to groups.io.
The big concern for some is the archived messages.? Some lists purge messages after a few weeks.? Do you need the messages archive?

[mod note: I don't believe Groups.io invites are limited in number, but over a certain number (20?) the invites will be temporarily held pending for review by Groups.io.]

I am seriously considering migrating my Yahoo Group, but, and its a big one.? Can all access be limited to only members?
Our group is a Sheriff's volunteers with some sensitive postings, data base items (phone numbers), calendar (location of DUI checkpoints), etc.
The access must be limited for the site to be useful to us, we have had a private Yahoo group for over 11 years.? Just not listing in the directory is not
enough security.? Looking through the settings and messages on this forum I can't seem to figure out if this is possible.
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Do the following:
Click on Settings
Then scroll down to Message Formatting
Under Attachments select Strip
Scroll down and click on Update Group button
Attachments will then be stripped from e-mails.
