Re: Are Yahoo Group Transfers No Longer Accepted #transfer #yahoo

 

You have to invite the transfer agent to your Yahoo group, not your groups.io group.

Re: Topics vs Messages

 

Topic = Subject around which a discussion ensues and is set by the first message.

Discussion = the series of messages replying to the first or subsequent messages under that Topic.

Thread = a series of consecutive replies, e.g., A replies, B replies to A, C replies to B,... Threads can branch, e.g., D also replies to A, A to D, X to D,...

Discussions can be presented as threaded (indent for each reply) or flat ( unthreaded). Groups.io is flat. More explanation?.


Are Yahoo Group Transfers No Longer Accepted #transfer #yahoo

I want to transfer a small (20 user) group from Yahoo to Groups.io. I attempted to send a group invitation to [email protected] and received an invalid address error. Are group transfer requests no longer being accepted?

?Haha.

I wanted to use "Threads" so many times, but deleted the word, not knowing what terminology is common to others here. So, I ended up with that lame sounding explanation instead.

Re: Automatic Deletion of Members If Message Marked As Spam #poll

Following up with a "removed" member might be a reasonable course of action on small lists.

Due to some erratic behavior by Yahoo Mail, *some* incoming mails are automatically but inappropriately dumped into users' SPAM folders, thus marking the messages as SPAM even when they are not, even when the user has not so marked them, and doesn't even know about this.

I got booted from a IO Group for marking messages as SPAM, though I'd never done so and it came as news to me.?

I don't think it's a bug with Yahoo Mail, it seems to be a feature.? If a user deletes an email message without reading it, Yahoo Mail concludes that it was SPAM and so marks some or all additional incoming messages from that source as SPAM.? Even if the source is Yahoo Groups.? At least with my account - and I am betting that's the case with many other Yahoo Mail accounts as well.?

Re: Automatic Deletion of Members If Message Marked As Spam #poll

 

Hi Robert,
I didn't realize that this was a feature of a paid group. I took a paid group for the expanded storage but now have two features that have come in real handy:
  • Ability to add members
  • Past Member List

Oh... where is it? I can find "banned" members but no sign of past members.

Hi Chris,
I didn't realize that this was a paid group feature. I just looked in an unpaid group and no "Past" member list.
Sorry about that but am very glad to have this feature, it is really handy. Oddly, Banned members appear in the Member List but not Past.

Being able to add members, more storage and other features like this IMHO are worth the money, I've attached an image of the list.

Re: Directory #directory

 

Is a moderator able to set this for all members of the group so they can all see each other in the directory, or must each individual member make that setting in their Group Profile?

This is only available on premium groups.

There are a couple of features that were introduced, then moved to premium groups.? Mark has said several times that he would never remove a feature once introduced, so some early groups are grandfathered in to features that are no longer included in a free group.? How many other services would offer that? ;>)

Hi Mary Ellen,

Groups.io has a couple of nice features, not available in Yahoo Groups, that help with the Spam issue.

  1. The first is the message sent to the owner has the member's email address so you can contact them.
  2. The second is a list of past members, including why they are no longer members.
  3. The last is the ability to download a member list not limited to 1000.

Thanks for the info.? We are planning to move to Groups.IO soon.

Re: Download of member list as admin #issue

 

In Chrome, you can right-click on the page and select Save As...
In Edge, I didn't find a Save function - right-click, Select-All, open Notepad, paste, save as members.csv (or whatever name you like with .csv extension)


Re: Download of member list as admin #issue

 

At that point, you Save Page (or whatever your browser calls it) and you're done.? Because I own several groups, I rename it to [groupname].csv before saving so I can keep a copy of each one.

Re: Need to be able to customize Invite message.

 

The Google Groups invitation is a good model:
Short standard sentence invitation
Custom paragraph from administrator
Group description
Boiler plate about Groups
Boiler plate about spam, abuse reporting, help...
ACCEPT button
Opt out of all future invitations from Groups

Being Google, I expect the mandatory stuff is in the designated language of the Group.


Download of member list as admin #issue

Southenders Admin
 

Perhaps this was questioned before, but searching for download member information, I can't find it.

When I try to download my list of members, a new page opens up on my Chrome browser ending with
"memberlist.csv"

But nothing downloads.

How do I save this as a csv file?

Re: Unusable e-mail address for reply

 

I think I understand. Since I usually use my e-mail (A ghost of Yahoo) to reply I can just Reply All and if the original
Sender does not get the reply, he will get it on the Group. The worst offender has been combative and refuses to do anything about his address. Perhaps there is no solution but he denies any problem. I put him on Moderate.
Thanks, Richard

At Settings > Message Formatting put a check mark at Plain Text Only.

Now your members can enter their information without affecting the layout if you put each item on a new line, with space in between and ask everyone to type replies into the blank lines.
Result, Headers the way you want them and replies beneath.
Clarity without attachments.

Shal, J, Bruce or the other seniority posters would know if incoming messages from HTML only poster are turned to TXT at GIO or if the setting only applies to the web.
Most eMail systems set for HTML are sending mail out in plain text simultaneously.
