This might be something of a long shot but don't sub - groups have to share their storage both with one another and with their parent group? Assuming that to be the case is the total quoted for the sub - group only or is it an aggregrate across parent and children? It just could be that a lot of material elsewhere has filled the store.

So I went and looked, and apparently you can set a hashtag to automatically lock or delete a thread after a period of time, but not moderate. Wanted to correct that statement I made before.
Also, there is a limited number of times you can select: one hour, one day, one week, .... It's not something I could specify to lock after 2 days as I wanted / thought.

So my questions are:?
1) for the first bullet?point above, how do I specify for GIO NOT to send a notice to every member?
Suzanne -- There is a checkbox for this on the transfer setup page (where you decide what areas of the group to transfer).
2) If the Welcome message is not active at the time of the transfer, does that mean it will not be sent??
Such is my understanding, although others have recently reported that it isn't sent anyway (ref:? /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/40205879#23064).
And if so, then how is it best to send a welcome message when I am ready?
You can send any existing notice to any collection of members by clicking the checkboxes in the Member List and selecting Send Message from the Actions menu. There is a pull-down menu on the subsequent page where you can select the Member Notice that you want to send. But I really think it's a whole lot simpler -- and are more likely to induce others to follow suit -- if you take whatever parts of the transfer summary that you want to share and whatever else you want to say and just post it to the group as a Special Notice.? Suzanne, I do suggest you give careful consideration to Sharon's response. If it were me, I'd just be up-front about telling everyone what's going on, and also go ahead and let the groups.io notification be sent. There are plenty of subscribers who manage to get paranoid on their own without the group Owner becoming all secretive and giving them a reason to be. Regards, Bruce

The FAQ says:
5. What gets transferred using the Transfer Agent?
?
Groups.io can transfer message archives, properly owned and properly threaded, (without attachments, however), photos, files, links and databases.
Calendar entries are not copied at this time.
Subscribers (members) are also transferred, maintaining their subscription options and ownership of each message and other group content.

Re: transferring from yahoo best practices
In one of the groups we moved to GIO, there were many who had chosen 'no email' in YG. We decided not to provide the option.
Even though some members left, most continued.
One issue some had was the message traffic. Suggested they opt for Digest. GIO Digest is nicely formatted.

Just FYI, some of my group members had were upset by the move ¡ª totally disconcerting. I had warned them and explained the why but when it happened it was like I was surreptitiously sending all messages to the CIA. That message was important because it did get their attention.
It was also a chance to clean the list because about 300 of 3,000+ members unsubscribed. I did a random check and they were either bouncing or had moved and never bothered to unsubscribe.

Su -- Interesting scenario.
So questions:
1. Is it possible to automatically add a hashtag based on a string in the topic (OT in this case)?
No. A hashtag IS a string in the topic.
2. I know you can lock or moderate a hashtag after a certain time. Is it also possible to change it over to reply to the OP or the sender at that time as well?
I'm afraid not. Even if you could, it's not possible to retrieve already-sent emails and change the reply-to field in those headers.
A girl can dream, right? :-)
Never hurts to ask. Bruce

Keep your existing address as the Owner and invite yourself as a new member using a different email address.? The other email address will just be a normal membership so you can see what normal subscribers see. You will either have to log out and log in to change accounts, or you can use a different browser and be logged in on both accounts at the same time. ? -- Gerald

transferring from yahoo best practices
I've created a new group and requested the group info at yahoo be transferred.
?
The instructions page for yahoo transfers ( /yahootransfer) says the following in the notes
- Unless you specify otherwise, we will send a notice to every member telling them about the transfer.
- If you have created a customized welcome message for your group, we will also send that to each member who is not already a member of the new group.
I understand from an email I received that if some messages or content is not transferred that will be noted in the email confirming the transfer is complete.? I'd like to be able to look at that info before I have the welcome message sent. So my questions are:?
1) for the first bullet?point above, how do I specify for GIO NOT to send a notice to every member? and?
2) If the Welcome message is not active at the time of the transfer, does that mean it will not be sent?? And if so, then how is it best to send a welcome message when I am ready?
