I sent the invite, it's been accepted, and I've made the transfer address a moderator in my groups. When I go to the transfer page to click to give it the go ahead I get this message:I suspect this message means that the transfer agent has not yet received email confirmation from Yahoo stating that its membership application has been accepted. You might be able to see that it has in the group itself, but if Yahoo is having their usual server problems... The "integrations" line on your home page is for RSS feeds, linking with Facebook, etc (see Admin->Integrations). It has no bearing on the transfer process. Thoughts? I tried this last night and again this morning. I know, I know, patience is a virtue, lol. I just want to be sure I'm not adding the same request a hundred times when it went through and I didn't know it.I suggest waiting a couple of days. Given dash's recent report and yours, I suspect something may be up with Y!G again and it may take at least that long for things to sort themselves out. Good luck, Bruce |

Editing message problem
#issue
A group member sent a message with an incomplete URL. I had received the message through my mail.
I went to my group home and edited the message and fixed the URL. Then saved it. I had second thoughts and decided to go back and edit the message - actually just changed the reason for the change - and chose the other option: save and send it to the group members. When I received the revised message in my email, the URL was not hyperlinked. And oddly, neither were the footers. Any explanation? Expected behaviour? Frances |

WHAT?????? now????Are you sure you are logged in, at either Yahoo or here? Try logging out and logging back in again. Did groups.io email you a summary? It should have told you how many members, messages, etc were transferred along with a list of those that it wasn't able to move. If you haven't received this transfer summary then the move is probably still underway. Another possibility is that Yahoo itself had a massive system crash that lost all that information before the transfer agent even got there. In that case it's not surprising that nothing got moved. Based on your description of the symptoms, this seems like the most plausible explanation. I am assuming here that you made the transfer agent a Moderator (NOT an Owner), and with view-only permissions (per the transfer instructions). With those permissions it is not possible for the agent to delete your Yahoo group content.? If I were you, I would contact Yahoo and ask them where your group went. If they can restore it from a backup you should be able to submit your request to the transfer agent again. Just some ideas, Bruce |

Re: I am ALONE HELP! [after transfer from YahooGroups]
dash,
I moved my genealogy group.? I got notice it was moved.? I went to the members section and I am the only one that was moved.? I have NO pictures, NO files, nothing.? Are you sure you targeted the correct Groups.io group? Another member of GMF reported that his transfer went to the wrong Groups.io group. I suspect user error, but maybe there's something more to it than that. Have a look at other Groups.io group which you own and see if the content landed in the wrong group. ? I went back to Yahoo and my group is gone......all the hundreds of pictures I worked hours and hours and hours are gone, as are all my contacts.? I don't know what to tell you about the Yahoo Group. The transfer agent makes no changes to your Yahoo Group, so maybe that's just a glitch on Yahoo's end and your content will reappear. Or maybe you're signed out of Yahoo, or signed in with the wrong account? Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: Using BCC to Moderators
Bruce,
I thought that the "BCC Moderators" checkbox (when sending a message from the Member Notices page) sent a copy of your note to all Moderators regardless of these settings. That's what it says, right? However, I just made my test account a Moderator and tried it...and it didn't work. I set up the same test account to receive all +owner emails and that didn't work, either. I even made that account an Owner, and it?still?didn't work. This sounds like a serious bug that should be reported to [email protected] --? I depend on BCC: All Moderators heavily and have been assuming that it reaches all of them! It is notoriously easy to fool yourself when testing email functions, but this one sounds pretty clear cut.My backup address in GMF was set to "None" for receiving +owner emails, so I hadn't really thought about the fact that it hasn't been getting those BCCs. But come to think of it, I don't think that selection ought to control BCCs created through the web UI, or other system messages to +owner. Or maybe "system only" needs to be a fourth choice there.

My group has noticed that our BCC to Moderators doesn't seem to work.Yvette -- As an owner, go to Admin->Members. Click on the blue pull-down menu immediately above Display Name and select "Moderators."?Select one of your Moderators and click on his/her name.? The Notifications section determines which messages the Moderator will receive in response to?system events. Depending on what responsibilities you have set up for each person, make sure he/she receives the notifications necessary to perform those functions. The Owner Email section only applies to emails sent to?[email protected]. Be sure to set this correctly, too. For example, if you have a Moderator who is responsible for handling requests for membership, it makes no sense to have their owner messages restricted to subscribers. With all that out of the way, back to your original question...

So as best I can tell, the "BCC: Me" and the "BCC: All Moderators" buttons function exactly the same. But I could still be missing something...and perhaps someone else with more experience can help shed more light on this particular problem.? I hope this helps, but it probably doesn't. Bruce |
