I paid for Groups IO to transfer my gorups but they are putting the Wrong group members in the wrong group.Sounds like you made a mistake when you set up the transfers. This can be verified by going to the status page for each one. If you haven't allowed anyone to post to the groups up to this point, you should be able to rename them afterward, effectively swapping the transfers around. Please consider this option. Bruce |

Re: What are the email addresses I should use?
Your group email addresses are on your group homepage.
If you are looking for the correct email address to put on your YahooGroup to tell them where to post - it is this one:?

Re: What are the email addresses I should use?
Are you talking about a monthly reminder of the group guidelines? This is sent by the calendar and is one of the Member Notices. The owner/moderator writes it.

When:
Friday, 1 November 2019

This is your monthly subscription reminder for the Group Managers Forum. We are glad you joined our group.
?
Our GMF Group's web resources are open and public. Our Messages archives and Wiki are viewable and searchable by non-members. GMF message archives are indexed by major search engines. Unfortunately, due to Groups.io restrictions, you must be a member of GMF and logged in to access our Files and Photos sections.

We expect members to post and act responsibly. Please respect your fellow members' time and attention: strive to be clear, concise and courteous. Our subject matter naturally includes matters of opinion; if you happen to disagree with another member please do so without being rude. Personal attacks are not allowed. Solicitations are off topic and will be deleted without comment. Listing your groups in your signature is perfectly acceptable, but just make sure there's also on-topic content in your post.
?
Attachments are allowed and the judicious use of screen shots and other illustrations is encouraged!
?
All messages sent to GMF are moderated. This is done to avoid malicious attachments, spam, off-topic messages, and messages from spoofed or compromised mail accounts. Despite these measures, be aware that the bad guys are clever so there's no guarantee that we'll always succeed; you are encouraged to be vigilant against any and all threats arriving via email. Your GMF moderators make no guarantees regarding the safety of emails arriving from this or any other Groups.io address.

We discuss our experiences as both group owners and moderators, share ideas for promoting and customizing the content areas, and offer various techniques for managing groups.
?
To send a message to the members of this group, simply send email to [email protected].

Re: The Hashtags feature is part of which plan?
Earlier this year Groups.io allowed hashtags and also automatically attaches them to some features, e.g. Calendar and Invite.
'Subject Line Bloat' also began earlier this year. I don't want to use them either of them, but there are no controls to turn them OFF, yet. WORKAROUND: Admin: Settings: Message Policies: Set to: "Posts by subscribers can only by tagged with existing hashtags, new hashtags will be removed." Click on "Update Group" (at bottom of page) To prevent Moderators from creating (and deleting) hashtags: Admin: Members: Use the "Members, Moderators, Pending Approval, Bouncing, Banned" dropdown menu to select "Moderators" Click on a Moderator's row (not the check box) Scroll down to "Moderator Permissions" and make sure "Create/Delete Hashtags" is unchecked Click on "Save" (at bottom of page) Repeat for each Moderator Even with that setting some Subject lines will be automatically hashtagged, e.g.: #cal-reminder, #cal-cancelled, or #cal-invite, ETC WORKAROUND: Hashtags (not Admin) Then "Edit" every (existing) hashtag to: "Moderated" Click on "Update Hashtag" (at bottom of page) Repeat for each Hashtag (current and future) Now you will have to Moderate every Message and Notice that has a hashtag, but it allows removal of any existing Hashtag AND correction of 'Subject Line Bloat', e.g. from: [CCSS] Upcoming Event: Cape Cod Scottish Session - Tue, 2019-11-05 7:00pm-9:00pm #cal-reminder to: [CCSS] Cape Cod Scottish Session - Tue, 2019-11-05 7:00pm NOTE: Any Moderator (with "Approve Pending Messages" permissions) can approve any message, so if they don't have "Create/Delete Hashtags" permission, you may also want to: WORKAROUND: Admin: Members: Use the "Members, Moderators, Pending Approval, Bouncing, Banned" dropdown menu to select "Moderators" Click on a Moderator's row (not the check box) Scroll down to "Notifications" and make sure "Email when there are messages needing approval." is unchecked Click on "Save" (at bottom of page) Repeat for each Moderator It is a PITA and better controls could fix that, perhaps after the 'great YahooGroups migration'... |

Re: "Average Pace" of transfers
Hi friends,
I don't expect you to follow my little group's transfer saga avidly...but take a look at the last few days, and keep the faith!? (A minor caveat is that I didn't consistently check at the same time of day; but today was the first time that I saw such dramatic movement.) ?
Sat 10/19/2019 Alerted members of my group about Yahoo¡¯s plans and discussed options (Google groups. Groups.io, Facebook, plain email, dissolution).? People liked my description of Groups.io especially the ability to preserve ten years¡¯ worth of content.
Sun 10/20/2019 Created group at Groups.io.? Signed up for Premium and paid $110 (which doubled two days later).? Sent invitation for [email protected] to join our Yahoo group.? Heard nothing.
Fri 10/25/2019 Invitation was finally accepted.? (Whether it was Sunday¡¯s or Thursday¡¯s, I don¡¯t know.)? I swiftly upgraded [email protected] to moderator and gave the go-ahead for transfer.
Sun 10/27/2019 Finally progressed to step 3 of 4.? Place in queue #644.
Mon 10/28/2019 #633.
Tue 10/29/2019 #618.
Wed 10/30/2019 #584.
Thur 10/31/2019 #553. "The pace does seem to be picking up but we¡¯re still looking at 2-4 more weeks if this continues."
Fri 11/1/2019 #543
Sat 11/2/2019 #521
Sun 11/3/2019 #504
Mon 11/4/2019 #455? (Wow!? Was #472 in early afternoon, rechecked at 6 p.m.)

Re: PG Offline users
#pgoffline
All of the email addresses are in the zipped file I got from Yahoo and opened with MailDex 2020. They are in the mbox files they send you.?
I am just a regular member of the group - not even a moderator and now I have all the email addresses, even though the member list is hidden from me in the Yahoo Group website. Just an FYI if you are trying to harvest email addresses for your groups. |

Re: Personalgroupware (PG Offline)
Alex,
I just need the license key... you can't just buy one off of his webI assume you included your Unique Code? Without that he can't/won't generate a license key: Trying again from a different email accountThat's probably a good idea, in case the one was blocking his replies to you.
