Best,
Glenn
The URL of each message on the Yahoo website contains the message number (same at io, I see), so just check the most recent one.

If you look at the sequence number on the latest message that will provide an upper limit.

Visit your YahooGroup
Click on ¡°Conversations¡±
The most recent messages will be displayed.
The message # is in the lower right corner
The message # of the top (most recent) message is the total # of messages in your YahooGroup

There's a section on this in the GMF wiki:??/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Afterward

I suggest you put the Yahoo group on moderation. This serves as a reminder to subscribers that the group has moved and also helps the Moderators/Owner identify people who haven't gotten the message yet. Those who feel the need to unsub from the Y!G will do so on their own.

For myself, after about two months of no activity I then deleted the Y!G.

Hope this helps,

Re: In Process?

 

My 950-member YahooGroup was successfully transferred!

Now, then, should I start un-subscribing members from YahooGroups? All, apparently, have received both messages from groups.io.

(One member said he couldn¡¯t locate my group on groups.io ... yet that email to me was written from the new group ... (g).)

The few subscribers who had a photo in their sig-line in my Group have been asked to remove the photo, because I find a blurry replica in the Photos section and have to delete it. So far all have complied.

Re: In Process?

 

Clint,

Is there any way to see if progress is being made on my transfer from YahooGroups?

Latest word is that the transfer agent (Mark) is "woefully behind". No specifics on what that means, but he begs patience. .

Also a new twist: the most recent 100,000 messages transfer free - which should be accommodate most groups - but to get more messages an upgrade to Premium for at least one year is required ($110).

A statement to this effect has apparently been on the Transfer instruction page for over a week. But it isn't boxed (it is above the green and red boxes) .

I read that thread, and it didn¡¯t look like that idea never got off the ground. I think a way to tell how many of a group¡¯s members are using their site would be very useful, more useful in a way than what an owner/moderator has now.

Don,

Is there a way for an owner/moderator to tell how many people have logged into a group site they are members of?


No.

It is unfortunate that the person responded to you this way, but if those messages were sent outside of Groups.io (from his email to yours) then there's nothing Groups.io would do about it, regardless of that person being a group owner. The TOS is only violated if the offending material goes through Groups.io.
?

So have blocked these couple of people.

That's the best answer. Let their angry or offensive words be their own burden, not yours.

No. Each subscriber has to explicitly share their profile.

Re: Member receiving daily summaries when "NO EMAIL" selected

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi Shal,

?

Thanks for the suggestion. He was a "unique" member of our old Yahoo group and may very well have had a hidden membership under another name. I have sent a message questioning this.

We do have over 50 members receiving Summaries, so I checked for similar addresses and his e-mail address does not have a similar one nor does it have any indications of a message being sent to him.

He has sent the suggested email to +nomail and that toggled my setting from summary to NO MAIL.

Again, thanks,

Ken

Subject: Re: [GMF] Member receiving daily summaries when "NO EMAIL" selected

?

Ken,

?

And I've double checked the individual's Email Delivery setting has "NO EMAIL" checked.

?

Is it possible the individual has two subscriptions?

You could go to the group's Members list and click on the Delivery column heading to sort by Delivery. You may need to click twice to flip the sort to reverse order, that will bring the "Summary" subscriptions to the top. If there are relatively few Summary subscriptions you might be able to spot an alternate subscription by the same individual, if his/her two email addresses are similar.

?

I will try experimenting and changing his Email Delivery setting to Daily Summary for a day and then back to NO EMAIL to see if toggling the setting fixes it.

?

If it does, that fact should be reported to [email protected] - that would be a bug.

If that doesn't work and no one else is seeing this, I'll be at a loss.

?

I'd try to get the individual to forward me a copy of such a Summary email, with the full header included (if that's practical in his/her email interface); or examine the header him/herself. Near the top of the header is an X-Original-To: field that shows the address to which it was sent. The ordinary To: field might give the answer, but might instead have been modified if he/she has one email address forwarding messages to another.

Setting default profile privacy options

 

Is there a way to set the default for members?Profile Privacy?to "Other members in your group" so they show up in the directory? ?This would still allow them to change it but start out with them displayed in the directory.
