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

I am having a terrible time finding the page that gives us the status of our transfer. Could someone step me through this again? I didn¡¯t have trouble earlier this week but I must have forgotten something, We are at stage 3 waiting to be transferred into our premium group.

Thank you!

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...

It's a little harsh-sounding: "Your message was not approved", especially if the message was a note to the moderators.
Sounds better than "Your message was rejected."?

Suggestions for system enhancements should be posted to -- the official "suggestion box" for groups.io. Be sure to word it as a proposal. Saying you don't like something without providing an alternative is not a proposal.?

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

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.

Re: Transferring Yahoo group after October 28

 

Thanks for the response, Bruce. I am the sole owner of the Yahoo group and have full permissions. It appears that after October 28, Yahoo is not allowing new invitations.


Re: Joining and Login Issues #addmembers #membershiprequest

 

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.

Gmail can be weird.? It somehow recognizes that you're the one that sent the message, so won't put it in your inbox.? If you send it from another email address, it will.? This has been discussed in previous topics, so you might find additional guidance there.

Re: Emails response from groups.io not working

 

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.? ?

Re: Making members' email addresses invisible

 

There is a setting to hide your members' email addresses in the archives.

Admin -> Settings -> in the Privacy area -> Hide Email Addresses In Archives

You can change it to "Mask all email addresses in the web archives"

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.

We'll need more information to make an educated guess on the 2nd issue.

This is surely not a good nor a safe policy for a group, ?because:
1. email addresses can be harvested by those with malign intentions (that is already a pretty risky thing to allow in view of GDPR regulations)
2. group discussions and contacts can be sidetracked into offline or private channels, while the whole idea of the group is 'public' / open discussion and contact.
Therefore, how can I ?suppress or make members' email addresses invisible by default to all except Moderators and above?
Grateful for any help.

Even YG did this, it's the nature of email lists (forums are a different animal.)? 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.

I'm not sure if the addresses are visible "by default" because I don't know what the default setting is. 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.

1. I think I know the answer, but is it possible to exclude emails once the transfer has started?

2. At what stage in the transfer process will I begin to see progress notes like this? (I got this from another e-mail here on [GMF].)
1.? No, once the group is exported from YG, no changes can be made.

2.? 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.

The only way to keep system hashtags from showing up is to NOT use any feature that creates them.
