Re: Inviting Members
I am also having problems with folks getting subscribed.
1)? Can I actually send them a second invitation from the group ... if I already invited them? 2) Also I wrote a "Second invitation" post thinking it would be saved as a different post from the original.? Uh, no.? Can someone either send me the "regular" invitation (which will generate correct subscriber links) or tell me where I can find that here, please? THANKS! |

Re: Problem with the way Groups.io sends group messages
? Jim,I use Tbird for my email client. It does allow wildcards.? The yahoo groups that ?Thunderbird's filters are very flexible. You should have no trouble changing your filter to use the Sender field instead of the From field. In the field list click on Customize and under New message header type in Sender, then click Add and OK. That will work with both Y!Groups and Groups.io groups, individual and digest (and summary). If you're uncomfortable with that, use To instead. ? ?Shal? -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: Hi, I just started a group, and am ready to learn!
You need to go to your subscription for that group and check your Owner Email settings.? You can decide which messages should be sent to you.

Re: Hi, I just started a group, and am ready to learn!
I should explain that more. My owner email that subscribers get is:
[email protected] But I've sent myself a test email to that, and it's not coming to me. Where can I specific where that will be directed? Thanks! Alicia |

Incomplete transfer
#wiki
I've added a section on incomplete Yahoo transfers to the GMF wiki.??
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Incomplete-transfer Please review and edit as needed. In particular, I am unclear on how inviting the transfer agent will be handled when it is probably already a Moderator of the Y!G. Does one have to delete that membership and send a new invitation?

Profile Photo, and Display vs User Name?
So far as Owner I've transferred 7 of my 10 YahooGroups to Groups.io and all seems to have gone well. I expect to OK the transfer of the other 3 after group meetings this week.
?
The Groups.io Help section is pretty good, but doesn't cover everything.
?
?
Subscription: Group Profile: Edit Group Profile
?
?
Profile Photo:
I see a picture that I didn't select. It happens to be my current Facebook and YahooGroups Profile Picture. I do like it, but how did it get to Groups.io? as part of the transfer?
?
BTW I never sign in with my profile from one thing into another (e.g. Facebook profile to sign in to YahooGroups) - as I do not wish to cross-contaminate.
?
?
Display vs User Name:
?
There is a "User Name": @mjp?
Those are my initials, but what is this?
What is this for?
How did it get here on Groups.io? I do use my middle initial in one of my email addresses, but not this one and never in my name attached any of my email addresses?
Is this a Twit handle? I never did Twitter. I barely text, and only if I have to.
Shouldn't this be my actual name?
I can't see how to get rid of or change it.
I haven't found a User Name for any member, including the only other one with a Profile Picture or my 4 other email addresses; nor for a Moderator or the other Owner (yet another email address of mine) - they all say: "User name is not set."
?
I see "Display Name (The name listed with your posts.)"
I presume it got here because I do use my email address in the form of My Actual Name <username@domain>
I can change it, and as Owner (in Admin: Members) I've been putting member's actual names here that didn't have it, which also puts them in the Directory making it more usable.
While typing actual names as Display Name, sometimes 'auto fill' options show up - if I choose the bottom choice the member's name is entered, however if I choose the top choice my name is entered with a temporary yellow background (a warning?).
?
The Help section's Definitions does not define or explain these, nor can I find that information anywhere else. |

Re: Files moved but are empty
Shal, I had the same exact problem with my two large groups.? Files did not transfer at all.? I tried to re-transfer both groups again, but just checking off the Files section.? I don't see any "pending" notice when I go back and check my submission, though, on the Easy Transfer page.? It just shows both groups as "completed".? The transfer agent ID is still set on both groups as "moderator".? So, not sure what this process will look like?? Has anyone tried to transfer their list(s) again, but just one section??

Re: Problem with the way Groups.io sends group messages
Shal,
? I agree - sort of - with Peter R. on this one.? The real difference between what users were getting from ("used to") yahoo groups and groups.io is related to the difference between Individual Messages and Digests. ? My email sorting filters for Digests?work just fine - but in order for me to sort my email from groups that I have set to Individual they don't ... unless I put a filter in that is more specific/selective than the one I used before I changed from Individual to Digest ... because -my- email client doesn't recognize them with respect to my existing sorting filters. ? I use Tbird for my email client. It does allow wildcards.? The yahoo groups that I run on Digest did not require changes to my filters ... as long as the group? name was essentially the same.? *G* ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?- Jim B.? |
