Re: Newly Transferred Members Accessing the Group's Site

 

Linda,

The e-mail from groups.io to the transferees provides a link to the
group site. I gather that they're supposed to click that link ...
Correct. Or find their way by any other means to your group's Home page. Then scroll ...

to the bottom of that site page and click the green "Log In If You're
Already a Member" link. That will take them to the please log in page,
from which they should click on the "Forgot your password, or don't
have one yet" link.
Correct.

Then on the next page they can click on the "Send Log In Link" to
get their password e-mailed to them.
Close. The email contains a link, not a password. They click on that link and it logs them into the site.

At that point they can access the group's pages as a member. If they want, they can go to their Account page and set a password and/or various account preferences.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Logging-In

Is that right? I've tried it out though with a spare account that was
transferred over and no e-mail came to that account (or its spam
folder).
I'm not sure why not. One relatively common problem is making a typo in one's own email address when requesting a Log In Link. But other than that it should get to you.

Re: you have reached the limit

 

I think he is talking about processing of invites.
When a large number of invites are sent, after 20, there is a manual review and rest are released. This is mechanism to control spam. The delay can be couple of minutes or couple of hours. After submitting, stay patient. When rest are released, you will get a msg.

Re: Is there a need for two owners?

 

Perhaps a new feature request (the request to be submitted to beta, probably in 2020) would be to promote a designated Moderator (or Moderators) to Owner, if no Owner has logged in 30 days (or some other defined time)...

There are pros and cons for more than one. I see it all; the time in yahoo groups. PROS-The owner leaves ,dies,is hospitalized for a length of time whatever and who is left?

It is best to have at least one more owner that has all the tools you have . BUT there has to be a trust . And a moderator .
CONS- they take your group from you
Re: Obtaining your group data from Yahoo!Groups

 

It appears to contain files, pictures, messages, links and attachments sent by all members. Definitely worth a try to gather as much historical data as you can. I was the owner of the group. I also received files, links and messages from other groups in which I was a member, not an owner. It did not provide me with photos from these other groups.
Re: Invitations to subgroups

 

It appears to work. Several of the folks I invited were able to join the subgroup directly - and of course also got added to the parent group.

A couple for some reason didn't accept the invite and asked to join - but those came through as requests to join the parent group. After I approved those, I was able to direct-add them to the subgroup.

Re: Hashtag search has no results

Hi,

How long is "a bit" ?
I'm searching for messages sent more than 1h1/2 from now, either with the search or by #hashtag without success :
The search produced no results.

It's a pretty weird behavior, you click on the #hashtag next to a message and it can't find the message itself !
Re: yG Privacy Dashboard download #yahooprivacydashboard #ioimportpl

 


In response to my noting that Yahoo advised that it would be 30 days before
Dashboard download would take place, Don suggested:

You can use PG Offline to do that.

Well, not exactly.? I used PGO to download the 14 Links of a small group, and got only
the names of the links, not even the URLs.? I did it only to see what happened before
I tried PGO for a much larger group.? Copy and paste will serve my needs far better!
Re: Is there a uitlity/test/browse/practice group?

Christos -
One risk to this is that members may set up an account with a totally different email address than their Y! account. Then, after the transfer has duplicated their account names from Yahoo, they may try to sign in with their new accounts?and be confused with having to sign on as their old Y! identities instead?and then change them. Those that are members of groups.io already will hopefully understand, but it might be simpler for the new folks without identities to use their original account and then modify it after the transfer.
?
Just something to ponder. I found that a lot of people never changed anything - they used the group from email and didn't use the web interface. All they had to do was change the address they sent messages to.?Making them use the web to 'familiarize' themselves might have simply pushed them away.

Re: Ripped off or not downunder

 
Edited

There was a message from Mark that he would refund to anyone not happy. No one is trying to rip off and Mark is working hard to keep up with the onslaught of requests to move groups from Y!G to GIO. It is taking time no matter where you are in the universe. Keep patient and the move will take place.

Re: Is there a need for two owners?

 
Edited

It is good insurance to have multiple owners so that in worst case scenario the list does not become an orphan.
Giving ownership rights is a critical decision and you need to have 100% trust in the person. I am a moderator
of a group from 1995 and we always had at least two owners. After moving the list to GIO we know have three
owners and your can trust your life with each. Every group should address this issue now and make sure multiple
backup owners are there to protect long term survivability of the group.

With the demise of YahooGroups many lists are discovering how much a missing owner impacts the future of a list.

To transfer a list from YG at least a full moderator or an owner is needed.? However YG had changed moderator levels and responsibilities.

Last year I tried to transfer a list with an absent owner but found that even though I had been a moderator for 17 years I did not have the authority.

My moderator status had not been upgraded during YG changes.? The list had 1800 members, an absentee owner and two moderators on YG.

The other moderator and I moved the list to January 2018, and then this summer the other moderator was killed in a traffic accident.? It is a very active list

so I have added two full moderators so the list can continue without me.? If you have a large, active, popular list; a co-owner or a full feature moderator

is a wise precaution.? But I know of other list owners who prefer the list to die with them.? Your call...

Re: ... dealing with Groups.io

 

Hi All,
When I heard from Mark about a payment issue the reference number in his reply was numbered well over 10,000.

I don't know how long this support reference number count has been running but its probable the number of messages to [email protected] has ticked up a bit in the last week and IO is triaging in some sort of order.

My 10K+ numbered inquiry will require follow-up with Mark or his staff but I consider it lower priority than the other issues many are experiencing thanks to Verizon pulling the rug out from under our collective feet last week.

I hope this turns out well for all of us, only time and (lots of hard work will tell :-)

Charlie

FYI, no one from Groups.io management is on this group, but it's certainly refreshing to hear some good news now and then.? Once all the dust settles, I think there will be many people that share your appreciation.

Any way to get hold of "Mark"?

Perhaps he can fix my problem with the inoperative group. Still no contact from support@

You know I wonder if there was a delay with the initial transfer request that I deleted.
Now I have [email protected] as a member and was able to make the agent a moderator; but now my transfer status page shows the following.

We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite

I think I should have waited cause there probably was a delay with the backlog.
I hope the status will change so I can start my transfer.

By that time I hope to have made progress on my own in copying my important group's files!

You can use PG Offline to do that. It takes a little setup but once
you do, it will automatically download files and the folders in your
files section, links, photos, and if you set it up right from the
start, the messages.

As of right now there is no facility to upload those messages to your
GIO group but that might be available shortly.

If you invited before paying, your invitation was likely ignored.? You have to follow the steps in the EXACT order given. See /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673

Re: using email only

 

If your Yahoogroup is email-only, why not just stay with Yahoogroups?? It seems to me the only reason to leave
is if you need website content.? Also, of course, being pissed off with Yahoo/Verizon, but you could wait until
the crisis is over and move later.
