Re: 2nd transfer of messages
Andrew -- If you don't get your requested download (and I never have), I've had pretty good luck with the Chrome browser app found at . It isolates a range of messages by message number, not by date; but if you go to your Yahoo group and browse through your Conversations you should be able to correlate one to the other.BTW, I did eventually get my Yahoo download. They confirmed my request Nov 3, and on Nov 16 they said it was ready, and I downloaded the 950 Mb zip file. Inside were smaller zip files of the messages, links, and files of the groups I was a member of. There were no photos or attachments included, not even of the groups I was a moderator on. Gilbert |

Re: Testing -- question about restricted groups
If you want to join a restricted group, you can join my test group. Restricted and I have a pending subscription notice for it as well.

Re: Fix NC members email addy?
Frances, Here are instructions you can email your member (at the correct email address). In this case the would-be member won't be able to change the erroneous address. There would be no way for him/her to log in to an invalid email address (can't receive the link to log in, can't ever have set a password for the same reason). The only thing the would-be member can do is try again, and hopefully not typo his/her email address. Or if Chuck sends an invite to the corrected address the would-be member could receive and respond to that.

Re: Fix NC members email addy?
Chuck, Tks Bruce, but this one is in a FREE group Then your only option is what Duane said: delete the erroneous address. You can send an Invitation to the corrected address, If they receive and accept it that will resolve the issue (responding to the invitation also confirms the email address).

Re: Fix NC members email addy?
Chuck,?
Here are instructions you can email your member (at the correct email address). Changing Your Email Address
Log into Groups.io.?
Note: If you don't have a password already, you can create one from the main Groups.io page or use one of the other options (email me a link, or log in with Facebook or Google).?
On the home page for your group, click on your name in the top right corner.
Click Account.
On the login page that appears, enter your new email address in the Email field (overwriting what is already there).
Click the Change Email button.
Look for the email message sent to the destination email address.
Click on the link in that email to complete the change.

Re: Would like to create a collection of valuable postings / threads
#wiki
Groups.io uses hashtags.
You can search by hashtag and you can see all the hashtags. Search (use dropdown menu). and /g/GroupManagersForum/hashtags If you click on Topics in this display, it will show you all posts tagged with that hashtag. If you click on Edit, lots of options. And you can stop others from creating new hashtags, In Admin, Settings, Message Policies. - Hashtag Permissions

Re: Would like to create a collection of valuable postings / threads
#wiki
Thanks for all the continued input!
I didn't initially like the idea of using tags, because I was ideally hoping for a summary page that is easily reviewed / searched.? But Tags might actually work well.? I have to have a talk with some other board members and gauge their feeling.? And also see who in the group might be willing to create / manage the wiki page. When I went looking for the tag function, all I see is Hashtags... https://cas.groups.io/g/groupname/createhashtag Just wanted to make sure whether or not they are one in the same. |

I was unclear on my use case, though.? I have some users who only want to receive email when we published a new song list for our music group.?

Perhaps the group members could have the main group as Special Notices and the subgroup where the song lists are published with a broader subscription.

Okay, the best subscription option for them would be Advanced Preferences. The user gets only the first email in a thread. If they choose, they can click on follow in the email footer. I have actually set that as Default Sub Settings so anyone who joins my group is set up this way. They can change their subscription preferences, of course. See?/static/help#subscription-options And Muting and Following: /static/help#muting /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Managing-Muted-and-Followed-Topics This works best if people actually reply to threads properly. I don't think you can subscribe to hashtags only. An interesting idea. But then people would have to hashtag properly!

Delay in giving the go-ahead for transfer
Just to close the loop on this, appended below is some feedback from Mark. I believe this may explain much of what folks have reported today, but not all.
Anyway, glad to hear that things seem to be proceeding as expected for most of you again. FYI, Bruce Mark Fletcher?(Groups.io) Nov 27, 15:03 MST |
Gilbert Coville
Frances
Shal Farley
Bruce
Chris Hart, MyMacTech
I think the issue was a delay from the time that we accepted the invite to join the Yahoo Group till the time that we sent the message telling them we've accepted the invite. Someone else accepts the invites, and I send the messages, so sometimes there can be a delay of up to 12 hours between that.
Hope this helps.
Mark
