Re: How to find status page for transfer
I am having a similar problem. I follow the instructions to go to?
/yahootransfer? but there isn't a dropdown box next to View Existing Transfer Status - it is just bare text I only initiated the request 2 days ago, so that could be the problem John Ladd (John Muir Trail owner - [email protected]) On Thu, Oct 31, 2019 at 10:07 AM Susan B <doggiesmail@...> wrote: I am having a terrible time finding the page that gives us the status of our transfer.

Re: Transferring Yahoo group after October 28
Larry,
I was experimenting a little earlier today with a little test group I've had on Y! since, well, forever it seems like. I was able to send an invite to join the group to a non-Yahoo email account, so I think Duane's comment about the Yahoo functionality is correct. Unless they're deliberately blocking groups.io, of course... |

Able to edit reject message heading?
Our group is finally up and running yay! Still marvelling at the instantaneous message delivery :) Also the ability to message members from the pending post page is great. One question - is there a way to change the subject which appears when a message is rejected? It's a little harsh-sounding: "Your message was not approved", especially if the message was a note to the moderators. If not, has this been suggested before? Thanks, Sally |

Here's one other bit of info from the potential member.Well, clearly he already has an account, as Duane suggested earlier. He's probably already logged in, too.? I suggest telling him to quit fiddling around with his account stuff and instead just go to your group home page and click the "Join This Group" button. You might want to give him the URL, too. I did my level best to find your "LA Producers" group myself and was unable to do so. Bruce |

Duane,
Here's one other bit of info from the potential member.
I asked if he registered with that email "rhys@..." and if he had checked his SPAM folder.? "yes" to both questions. Thanks, Peter
That notice means that the person has a Groups.io account, not that they've joined any groups.? He should go to your group homepage and click on the Join button down the page. |

Thanks, Duane,
I've asked for a screen shot of the "Big Cheap" page.? After I asked this question, I realized that there are indeed groups that can remain private.? So for all I know "Big Cheap" exists. Peter |

Frances, I did receive both your emails.? ?After that, about one hour ago, I sent another email to +owners, and it is still not appearing in my Gmail account.? (I've checked spam and did a search on groups.io) Weird.
Any other thoughts as to what is causing this problem.? ? |

Groups.io has had lawyers investigate GDPR and they believe that it's in full compliance. You can minimize the harvesting by vetting members before allowing them in the group. The only way to prevent members from seeing the email address of others is to not allow posting.? If you have the Directory enabled, they can always use that though.? And make sure you don't have the Members list viewable by subscribers.

It is something you should perhaps have checked when setting up your group. However, go to Admin > Settings >scroll> Privacy and set Members Visible to something other than Subscribers. Don't forget to scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Update Group. Chris |

You won't get them formatted like that.? It will just update the top line on the transfer page.? This message was created using a record of that information.
