Thanks all for the information!? Very helpful.

Given the (now understandable) delay and the issues our group is having communicating on the Yahoo Group, I went ahead and sent out invitations to the new Groups.io group. ?

If I understand correctly based on reading elsewhere in this forum, when the Yahoo Group transfer finally happens, it shouldn't impact those already signed up at Groups.io.? Am I correct?

Thanks,

- Pete

?I thought (and hoped) that was the way it worked, but was proven wrong.? It's a total of # approvals, regardless of rejections/deletions.

Click the blue "date" button at the top to change search order. I believe search hits are returned in whatever message ordering you are using at the time.?

It seems that our new members _may_ not be removed from moderation and having trouble finding out if they have sent more than 2 messages yet. I can’t search on email addresses since the email addresses are hidden. We have 20 Jessica’s. And not everyone signs their last name.

I don't know if this applies to your situation, but...

...to be removed from "new-user moderation,"?consecutive messages must be approved by the moderators. If any are rejected/deleted, the countdown starts over.?

If you can find a single message, pull down the More menu at bottom right and select "All Posts by this Member." You should also be able to find posts in their Activity History.

Yes. Go to Admin->Settings and click on the "Member Notices" button at the top of the page. Create a new notice of type "Pending Subscription" and make it active. This message will now be sent instead of the canned version that groups.io uses by default.

Hope this helps,

I recently re-joined one of my groups, and it may have applied that to my others.

If so, does that constitute "rejoining" this one?

You managed to post, so you must still be subscribed. In exactly what way does your membership need to be updated? Did you recently change email addresses or something like that?

There was a recent post on this very thing:

/g/GroupManagersForum/message/7610

Kinda handy. I might put it in the wiki.

Bruce

I don't let subscribers create hashtags lest things get out of control. They way I see it, flagging everything as important is the same as flagging nothing as important, only noisier.

Many of my members feel the same way and have asked me not to tell anyone about them.

Now for owners and moderators, you can use them to automatically restrict topic duration, put topics on moderated status from the outset, etc. I've found such things useful for system notices, general administrative messages, etc. Bright colors, if selected, make such notices stand out in the topics display page. I encourage you to give this particular aspect of hashtags a test drive.

At the point where someone discovers them and wants to use them, I think they would be more useful than threads by subject line — which can be helpful too. And certainly useful for the things you mention.

Can the moderator edit hashtags to consolidate them? If I change #minutes2000” to #minutes will the #minutes2000 be changed to #minutes on the messages where it was used. I do think hashtags are only helpful in broad subject areas — not things like #dogwalkerneededSunday

Hash. ·?tag: A word or phrase preceded by a?hash?mark (#), used within a message to identify a keyword or topic of interest and facilitate a search for it. Whenever a user adds a hashtag to their post, it's able to be indexed by the social network and becomes searchable/discoverable by other users.Jul 11, 2017? ? ? ? ?

Greetings,

Is there access to the initial email text (the one that starts "Thank you for your interest")?so it can be changed to meet who we use the system?

Thank you, I’ve made the changes. So much to learn in groups io, but all of it is better than before!

Now if I could figure out how to stop Yahoo from sending our outdated guidelines, lol.

When you make someone a moderator, there's a list of Moderator Permissions that you can assign.? If you don't select Modify Group Settings, they won't have the Settings option in the menu.

Is there a difference in the permissions in owner and moderator?

My mod is missing menu items (Settings) I’ve been asking her to use:

Last week I seeded my new groups.io group by exporting the Y! group member list, converting it for Direct Add, and uploading the file.? I am seeing evidence that in some cases with multiple email addresses known to the Y! group, the email address that Y! gave me in the export was not the email address that the Y! group was set to deliver group messages to.?
Is this a known "feature" of the Y! group export function?
If so, is there any chance that the "Easy Group Transfer" function will be able to transfer the Y! group email addresses that were active delivery addresses in cases of multiple addresses known to the Y! group?

Also, FYI, yesterday a large number of @yahoo.com email addresses were listed in Activity as "bouncing", when quite a few messages had seemingly been delivered to them properly prior to that. I'm assuming this is further evidence of Y! mail issues.

Neither. As Chris mentioned, each member sees the group site displayed
in that member's own time zone.
?

A minor clarification to question 7:

As per Chris's original answer, the member can choose whatever timezone they wish on the Account / Preferences / Timezone setting if they don't like what it is currently set to. There is also the option for showing the time as absolute or relative to the current time, such as "10 minutes ago".

My group has been in the queue for about two weeks and we are also still waiting. I suspect the backlog is pretty large so we can expect to see another week or two wait before the logjam gets cleared out.
