It's unnecessary for the members to see the message archives. ?We're sending out one-time volunteer opportunities via email, they respond via email if they're interested and, once the opportunity is "taken", there's no need for anyone to see it further. ?

Result of my test of "Bcc Me" :? I wrote a simple message to the main group (all of our messages are moderated) that did not contain any word about trials or testing just in case.? I then Rejected the message and clicked on "Bcc Me" and "Bcc all Moderators".? I got the original notification that my message had been rejected but no others.? By clicking on "Bcc Me" and "Bcc all Moderators" I should get 3 messages about this, shouldn't I since it was my own message that was rejected???

In the Moderators section, under Notifications, I already have "email when someone reports a message" checked so I guess that doesn't help either.

Bruce, I have gone into the members section and clicked on moderators as requested.? Under notifications, what choice might allow the "BCC to moderators" through?? I am thinking "Email when someone reports a message" ?? ?None of the other choices look like they might help.

To answer the question about whether I used the "BCC to moderators" online or through my own email - it was online.? I never do anything through my own email and always go to the group website when dealing with anything to do with the group.

One choice I have never tried is "BCC to myself" because I was trying to notify the rest of the moderators of my actions regarding a member's message so I don't know if that feature works on our site. I felt that "BCC to Moderators" would be enough to send me a message as well but it didn't send a message to myself or any of the other moderators.? I will try rejecting one of my own messages and send a "BCC to myself" and see if I get anything.? I won't put the word "Test" in it so that there are no chances of rejection through using the word (as was suggested in one of the replies).

If this is a bug,, I can understand it not working correctly and hope it can be fixed soon.? If it isn't, I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to fix it for my group and possibly others that are experiencing the same issue.
Thanks,

please i want to know how much time untille i got approval for groups io

?

This group has not yet been approved. Once it has been approved, you will be able to post to it.

Have you made the link for posting in Groups.IO for your list(s) available to your members and explained the reasons for this change to them? You may also ask members to send posts to your email personally, they may be having trouble posting and you can then forward these to the new list.

Members are less likely to understand or care about the differences between list providers as they do not have to deal with their benefits or drawbacks which may make their view of this change different than yours.

Michael,

Are all group members automatically added to updates group?

During a transfer from a Y!Group, yes.

"CHANGE: With yahoo group transfers, add a note saying members have been
added to the updates group."

I know one can just unsubscribe, but can this default setting be
disabled?

Not that I know of.

I thought I saw a checkbox somewhere, but I am unable to
locate it now. Did I imagine it?

It is on the Sign Up form if you create a new account via the Groups.io web site. I think that may have also been somewhere when a person accepts an invitation.

Sharon,

On YahooGroups, if people subscribe from 2+ email addresses, yahoo
will group them under one account. When you subscribe to a list, you
choose the address to subscribe from.

If you jump through the correct set of hoops to add those addresses to the same Yahoo account.

You could also jump through a different set to add each to its own Yahoo Account. The latter is the natural result if they are two or more Yahoo Mail addresses.

Since Groups.io only has an email address, a name, and preferences —
no other account information — aren’t the two email addresses treated
as independent subscriptions?

Correct. Each subscribed email address is the ID for its own account.

There's some hope that Groups.io will someday allow multiple subscription addresses to be managed under a single account.


There is an advanced setting for your account that allows for an Email Alias, but that address is not subscribed to any groups, and won't receive any group's messages - it is strictly a send-only alternative to posting from your account address.

Nancy,

We're using a group only to send notices out to our volunteers via
email, and there's no need for anyone (other than moderators) to see
all the postings. Is there some setting that would accomplish that?

There isn't a setting that restricts the Messages section any tighter than members-only. I think the idea generally is that it is up to the member whether they prefer to receive messages by email or read the group on the web.

Is there really some reason they /shouldn't/ be able to do that, or were you merely saying that it is unnecessary?

Tammi,

After I setup the group, I went to create subgroup. When I hit add, a
subgroup is not created. I've refreshed. Logged out and back in.
Does there need to be more members than just me on the main group
before setting up subs?

No, but if it is a brand-new group the parent group may need to be approved first. Some functions are disabled until the group is approved, and it may be that subgroup creation is one of them.

That's just a grasping-at-straws guess.

dash,

I have one group that was moved some time ago and was ok.... now I
lost 2 genealogy groups and a group I had for many years. I am so
upset.

I understand that when you're in a panic it may be difficult to slow down and work things through carefully. But to help you figure this out we really need more information from you.

Are you sure you targeted the correct Groups.io group?

Or maybe you're signed out of Yahoo, or signed in with the wrong
account?

Nancy,

I just want to know ... what is a subject tag?

Just a bit of text you can add to the Subject line of every outbound email message from your group. They don't show up (generally) in your group's Messages section.

I've been assuming it is [my group’s name] but don’t know the purpose.

The idea is to give the email user some visual indication of which group this message came from, and also to allow them to make simple email filters based on the group tag in the subject. If you imagine your email inbox full of messages from various groups and individuals you can see where this may be handy.

They don't have to be the group name in full, that's why they're editable. I shortened the tag for this group to [GMF] because the full name [GroupManagersForum] takes up a lot of room in a list view of one's Inbox. The [square brackets] around the tag are technically optional, but they are very traditional and serve to separate the tag visually from the actual message topic.

I've just had a large group transferred and most of it looks really good. I added myself as a test member and found that the new account was already subscribed to 2 groups. The other group was "updates" with 527,000 members and single message delivery.

The last thing in the world I want is for all the group members I'm soon going to be adding to be getting single messages (even just once a week) for a very technical group that they didn't explicitly join.

I know one can just unsubscribe, but can this default setting be disabled? I thought I saw a checkbox somewhere, but I am unable to locate it now. Did I imagine it?

i reported this bug to both Mark & support a few days ago.

More explanation needed to understand? what you want. You don't want members to see the message archive on the website? You want a one way notification system to which members cannot reply?

Thanks Shal! Right now I'm getting a whole lot of silence from my group that transferred over today, so I have been sending the same email to both groups. Still a lot of silence. One thing I noticed. The emails that I sent through my IO group were lightening fast and they went through the group and I got my copy back before my email client was even done sending and receiving. The ones sent to my yahoo groups are taking over an hour to get there and some not at all. I had to resend. Very frustrating! My members are really dragging their feet, but they are not the ones trying to get email to people. I am! And I don't understand why they would want to stay there! It's absolutely terrible there! I guess some people just don't like change.

Marie,

So how do they access their account in my group?

Their subscription to your group is separate from their account; they may have subscriptions to other groups within their account.

To access their account info they'd have to log in to the site, then click on their name in the extreme upper right, and select Account from the drop-menu.

How do they connect to their membership in the directory?

Their address and their account are already connected to your group, the transfer agent set that up.

If you're asking how they visit your group's web pages they can follow any of the links to your group that were sent in the various emails they've received, or go to the groups.io home page and click on your group from the list of their subscriptions.

Gerald,

Would Email Delivery set to "No email" prevent the BCC getting
through?

Not unless there's some real confusion in the code.

Distribution of +owner email to the group's owners and mods is governed by its own setting in each admin's Subscription page. That shouldn't be affected by the delivery selection for group messages.

Marie,

Are you doing a BCC directly from the group or from your own email
program?

This started with an observation about the BCC: Moderators option when rejecting a pending message, using the web site.

Whenever I BCC someone at the groups, like send an email to my main
group and BCC several other groups, I get mailer daemon notices and my
mail may or may not get to the ones I sent with BCC.

As I recall Y!Groups doesn't allow BCC sending to a group's -owner address, but I think the posting address would be ok. You might be encountering a problem with Y!Groups which is unrelated to BCC, or maybe there's something new afoot over there.

This is the first I have heard anyone mention this, so I wonder if
it might be the same or similar issue?

Nope, not in the least. Other than "BCC" being used.
