I used the contact emails, sent it to both and Wilson got back to me quickly.

But when I go to search for them as a member in my members list, nothing comes up.? Is there an easier way to find them??

Bonnie -- See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/20713?for some instructions, including screenshots.

Note that you must be the Yahoo group Owner, or a Moderator with special permissions, to do this. If you are not, find someone who is.

Or does it take some more time before they actually show up in my members list?

It shouldn't, but this *is* Yahoo Groups, so all bets are off.

Thanks for any heads up you can give. It's been a stressful week!

For a lot of people!

Bruce's answer is correct unless (a) your members have put some clue about their locations in their profiles, and (b) you are prepared to do a lot of work to look at each and every profile in the hope that the information is there and then work out which time zone that location is in.?

I'll be the first to admit that that isn't really a solution...? but you did say "some" way.

Add me to the list of not receiving Owner Messages.

[Mod Note: Anyone experiencing this problem needs to click on Subscription and check both the Notifications and Owner Emails blocks for correct settings.]

Larry,
About three years ago YahooGroups required all list? owners to have a Yahoo Mail account. AS I recall they created one for me.? Then came the OATH loyalty Pledge; in retrospect loyalty is a one way street nowadays.
When YG announced the end of stored content; I tried for two days to log in to YG using the same AOL email account as list owner that I had used for seventeen years.? All my YG lists no longer showed me as a member.
Then I remembered the Yahoo Mail account, used it to log in and all my lists reappeared with full privileges.? For transfer to groups.io I used a third, different (shastasprings.com) email account to keep the message traffic separate.
All YG list owners (and moderators, in my case) received a Yahoo mail account, like it or not.

I don't think so.

Calendar management can be a pain, not because of anything groups.io does, but just the nature of group dynamics, time zones, and even the international date line.

First, it's important to understand that time zone is an account setting, not a subscription setting. Any single group can have subscribers all over the globe. So if you were to set up a calendar entry for a meeting at noon UTC, it would show up on my calendar as occurring at 4:00 PM EDT.

Assuming all of your subscribers are local, your Default Sub Setting for time zone will be applied whenever a new subscription is set up for someone who didn't already have a groups.io account. If that person already has an account, those defaults will not be applied; and each affected subscriber will have to update his time zone manually (HINT: it's on the?/account?page=prefs?page).?

I have not actually tested every single bit of this but that's the way I understand it.

Regards,
Bruce

Apparently I no longer have any privileges on my own group. I don't understand since I started the group and am the only owner and have no moderators.

Larry -- When you look at your own membership record in this Yahoo group, do you have a green crown or a blue crown?

There are NO crowns. My other groups have blue crowns.

If it's green, you are a Moderator, not an Owner, no matter what the tool-tip might say.

I don't see anywhere where I can recover from this, and Yahoo is no help.

If for any reason you cannot send an invitation, or cannot promote the transfer agent to Moderator, you will have to find someone else to transfer this group.

There is nobody else. I can't see the membership list at the moment, but I did send an email to the "list-owner" and did not receive a reply. I expected that the message would come to my email address. I don't see how anyone else could be the owner, since I started the group 13 years ago, and have never had another owner or even a moderator besides me.

All my privileges on my Yahoo group have disappeared. Only Yahoo could do this, because I am the sole owner/moderator. It was fine a couple weeks ago.

Larry

Susan,

OK so even if it took til say Dec, 20, all my info,
database, member, etc is already saved by IO admin?

Correct.

Everything needed from Yahoo's servers was collected in step 2.

My group, like many, requires moderator approval before a member may join the list. I have set up and activated a Pending Subscription notice which asks prospective members to respond with the small bit of information we need to verify them.

I very much like this pending subscription notice. However, the prospective member gets both this pending subscription notice and the automatic confirmation notice. That seems a little messy. If there is no way to turn off the confirmation notice, then I may have to return to manually responding to each notice I get of a prospective member joining.?

Are there better approaches to this common problem?

Thanks!

Jesse

<I used PG Offline.....>

I wanted to use PG Offline.... but I sent them an email a day for a week trying to get the full license for the software - not one response back
Seems they're too busy also to ever answer their emails :(

Jim -- If you don't have the necessary permissions to promote the transfer agent, there is nothing you can do to make this work.

See??for instructions on how to reset a password. Contact the Owner again and have him go through that process. I know Y!G has been collecting cell phone numbers of late and perhaps his password can be reset through that mechanism.

Failing that, the green box at the top of that page has a link where he can sign up for priority phone support (at $4.99 per month).?

There is no way for anyone within groups.io to help you with this.?Someone on your end must give the transfer agent sufficient access. If your group's data cannot be read, it cannot be transferred.?

Bruce

As far as we know, you can't.? You could try emailing [email protected], but they're snowed under, so it may take quite awhile to get a response.

You select the text before you click Reply.? I've noticed that once in awhile nothing is automatically pasted, so I Discard that Reply and start another.
