This is being worked on and will likely resolve within a few days. But the best advice you can give them is to get rid of Norton. I tried it once, and it was such a resource hog that I decided I'd prefer have a virus.

Thanks, Bill, but that’s not an issue. No copy/paste, clean new entry, no dummy blanks (intended or otherwise). I’ve sent a support request to Mark. It’s only this one particular group (thanks to you guys replying to my question). I own other groups and they are having no problems.?

It does seem to have started, we think, around the outage the other day (can’t sweat to it but had no prior complaints). Everything else in this particular wiki is working: links, creating, editing, deleting. Tried creating a new page, that didn’t return either. Tried adding an edit to existing page, nada.

I’ve logged out, closed programs, cleared all temp cache files, cookies, powered down, started over - and on multiple devices. Can’t think of anything else to try (even as quirkycrazy as it may seem).?

Just plain stumped (and frustrated).

Judy -- One of the biggest pitfalls we encountered were Yahoo group members who were set to "no email." We had a difficult time notifying them of the migration, and despite our best efforts some of them were blind-sided. Since there's no reliable way to contact them via the Yahoo group, you may have to capture their email address and send them a note manually. To mitigate this, I wanted to put up a new banner (i.e.: "cover image") that notifies anyone visiting the Yahoo group of our move, giving the new groups.io URL. Yahoo has repeatedly frustrated my efforts to do this.

You can also plan to have a number of members start to bounce emails after the transfer completes, due either to dead email addresses among your Yahoo records or recipient mail servers that for some reason think mail coming from groups.io as spam. The latter can be a particular problem as some will be automatically unsubbed from the group and have to be re-added. Anyone who had to "white list" Yahoo to get their group mail will likely have to do so with groups.io as well. Hotmail in particular seems troublesome in this regard.

That said, this can also be useful to eliminate some of the deadwood users that seem to accumulate over time.

In our two migrations, members, files and messages seemed to transfer well. Photos are more troublesome and you can expect to lose a third to a half of them...for no other reason than the Yahoo servers are balky. Be advised the files attachments to messages -- photos or otherwise -- are NOT migrated. This includes any photos appearing in the "Photostream."

Finally, be advised that many groups are abandoning Yahoo right now and it may take awhile (a week or more) for the transfer agent to get around to you. The inability to provide a firm date to your members as to when the migration will actually take place can also be mildly frustrating.

That's my experience. Hope this helps!

Hi,

I'm about to use the Direct Add feature to add a large list of members. I understand the required format for the name, email address, and subscription preference.

What file types can I use for the document upload? I assume a text file works, but can I upload an Excel file? A CSV? A rich text document? How about a PDF?

Thanks for any guidance :-)

I am bringing up this topic again, just to know if anyone else has the same problem.
My group description in Group Directory is truncated, which makes it difficult to understand what the groups is about.
I haven't been able to understand the reason.
Should I report this as a bug in Beta?

Be aware that this will cause Groups.io to send a confirmation email message to that address. The recipient will need to confirm their desire to subscribe before they will be made a member of the group.

At which point, wouldn't an Invite be easier?

In our 'get together' group there is one member who only sends one on one eMail He never did join the Yahoo group befote.

Is there a way to add him on so that messages to him do not have to be CC'ed any longer?

Is this 'track the progress of transfers' available ONLY to new transfers or in my case--I requested the transfer of my group on the 20th--can I check the progress of my transfer? If so, where do I go to CHECK the progress. Thanks.

To my knowledge, there are no variables/fields available.? That would be a good suggestion for the beta group.

Hallo ,

I would like to personalise some of my group Member Notices.

For instance, in a Pending Subscription Notice I would like to include something like

" A request for membership has been received from "names" <em@...> . "

How to add coding for some of the fields?
What fields are available?

OK,
Tony

Are you typing your search terms or copying and pasting them? If you have a space character before or after the search term it can cause problems. That is most likely to occur when copying and pasting. Not nearly so likely with typing.

Hi all,

This week's change log:


Feel free to reply to this topic if you'd like to comment on the
changes. Or better yet, if you expect a lot of discussion start a new
topic (or rejoin an existing one) about a specific change.

CHANGE: Completely revamped how Yahoo groups are transfered, adding a
new web-based system to specify the groups to transfer and to track
the progress of the transfers.

This is the headliner, at least for anyone getting ready to transfer a Yahoo Group. I happened across it shortly after it went live, and "you heard it here first"!

Alas, it doesn't tell you where you are in the queue, which may still be several days long, but at least you have confirmation that your request was entered and your "Go" was received.

NEW: There's now a status page for the service, at

This is nice. Hopefully we'll never need it again ;-)


Comments about these others are also welcome:

CHANGE: Added meta headers to the maintenance page to hopefully
prevent caching.
CHANGE: Reduce the max size of a group name to 32 characters to avoid
potential DNS issues.
BUGFIX: For a specific PDF, pdftotext would hang during processing.
This would cause our search ingestion to time out. Now we kill that
process if it takes too long.
BUGFIX: If someone is logged into an enterprise group's domain, but
they are not subscribed to any groups, and the enterprise group is
set to only allow access to subscribed members, that created an
endless redirect loop. Now we automatically log out the person in
this situation.

Please call out any you find significant.

Dain,

What can be done for my users?

Groups.io is investigating. From the Groups.io status page:

"Erroneous phishing warnings

Investigating - Some users are seeing erroneous phishing warnings when
visiting the site on Windows. We have contacted Microsoft, Norton and
Avast to work to clear this up. To the best of our knowledge, there is
no real issue with the Groups.io site.
