Re: Yahoo Groups shutdown commences
#yahoo
In our YG group, I'm going in the "manage members" area and making sure everyone is set to
individual emails and then I'll send an email and everyone will get it.
What I sent so far did not go to those who were set no
no email which we technically dont allow but do have ? # members set that way
And it did not go out to those set to special notices because that feature was disabled by YG before I was aware of that so I missed out on notifying those members of our change.
I was able to send 1 notice before they turned off? daily digest.? But anything sent from now on will
not go out to them either.? (Tried and verified)
So the only way to go to anyone now is to make sure they are set to
individual emails and then send out my notice.? So I'm going through and changing anyone who is not set to individual emails and changing them that way.? Slowly with 9,000 members to crawl through and check and change where necessary.
Then 1 email will go to everyone.? And repeated a couple of times over a given period of time as a reminder, members might not care as much about all of this around the holidays as much as we are in setting it up properly.? And working so frantically
for the past couple of days.? They will get a couple of reminders and then I'm done with YG!!!
Our group is moderated so I'm not going to let anyone post on YG anymore.? Those who try to post will get an individual email reply telling them to join our group on groups.io, if not already, and post there.? It will basically say what I've
already sent out? to the YG but it will be a response to their specific post.? We've had 61 new members sign up in our groups.io since our message went out a couple of days ago.
That way those members I've changed from special notices and no email wont get anything from anyone else and get mad.? Then when I'm done my changes, they will only get the message from the mod/owner discussing the move and how to sign up.?
But it will go out to not just them but to all in our YG via email, everyone will be set to
individual emails.
(Sorry, again a YG aggravated rant....? but wanted to give detail if anyone cared to know.? I have all my ranting out now I think, ha ha.? Unless they just do shut down.? Then I'll just be mad and have nothing else to say....)

You can make en masse changes to regular email delivery settings (Individual Emails, Digest, Special, etc) via the Actions menu, but not the Advanced Subscription Settings.? Bruce

Re: Yahoo Groups shutdown commences

Send an email to the groups email address, i.e. GroupManagersForum@...
Speaking of which. Is it possible to keep the conversations about Yahoo groups in the Yahoo group managers' list? That would seem to be the more appropriate place to ask about how to send an email to all the members in a Yahoo group.

Re: Global change to Subscription option?
I'm changing this option individually as there's an urgency. There's only 170 members.
But I'd like to know if changes can be made globally for the whole group.

Yes Yahoo Groups is dead. I get nothing now.

"Yahoo servers appear to be offline or your IP has been temporarily locked out."?

And the pages I did have up, I click on the links, get redirects to the groups ABOUT page only. Nothing else exists there.? Even the group's min page graphic is gone.? bummer.? I liked that.? YG looks cold and gray now.

Looks like I have more work to do getting the data saved from there posted once again here on GIO.

Re: My Yahoo Group already exists on groups.io
On number 2::
Log int your group on the web
On the toolbar to the right of "About", click on "Management"
Go down to "Manage Members" and click
Click on Members, Moderators, Bouncing, or Banned to select what you
want
Click on "Actions" on far right end of toolbar
Go down to "Bulk Operations" and click on "Export"
Select "CSV Format" and click.
That will Export up to 1000 members to Excel.

Re: Yahoo Groups shutdown commences
#yahoo
Some quiet group owners may not have known. I'd say that's unlikely. I haven't had an account on Yahoo
for 6 years and I got the email notifications they sent out
to group owners, so anyone that's still an owner would
have gotten them. I think they sent them to anyone that
had ever owned a group.
Like so many people, I created an email address on Yahoo, which was required when Yahoo took over groups. I never really used that address and had little reason to check it unless word got out that Yahoo was purging inactive accounts. Owner or moderator messages went to my primary email account through my independent ISP. When word of the impending closure appeared on here, I went and checked my groups and found the notice on the group pages there. I never received messages to my primary email address. I even requested a backup from the dashboard and logged in to Yahoo to get that. But it wasn't until I started looking for the response that said my transfer was ready that I had occasion to look at my Yahoo mail. And finally, at that time, I found the messages to owners and moderators. So it is possible that some owners and moderators who operated almost entirely by email may have missed them, or found them too late. This is just my experience. Dano

Re: My Yahoo Group already exists on groups.io
There are two ways to get the membership info that I know worked:
?? In YG, export the membership (and other member lists, like
bouncing and banned) as CSV's using the remaining functions unde the
"Management" tab. This works for <1000 members.
?? Use PGO. I've not checked this still eworks

I think that is EXACTLY what happened.? I have created a new group
called REALGroupName.
I never received any email from Yahoo! about this and while I saw
the message on the page, it was referring to content, not that
Yahoo! Groups was effectively going away (saying it is still an
email list is SO disingenuous).
Is there a simple way to still extract the membership list from
the Yahoo! group?? I am still owner on that list.
Thanks to ALL of you for your help.? It is sincerely appreciated.

I know but it is we owners that get yelled at . This is true many are on no mail and unless you email each one. or set those to individual email they may never know? Don't mind me I am just cranky.?

Some quiet group owners may not have known.? And in many groups, a
lot of people are no mail or digest; if they haven't checked the site
recently, the owner had no way of letting them know.
No one can expect an owner, who after all is unpaid, to send out
1,000 emails just in case someone didn't know Yahoo was bailing.

How do I download my Yahoo Group's Members list?
If your group has 1000 or fewer members:
?
To obtain a list of your Yahoo Group members you can go to the Manage Members page and in the Actions menu Export (download) a CSV or TSV format file. It is best to open the file in a spreadsheet like Excel, then you can easily copy the Email column to paste into the Direct Add or Invite page. Note: this is only for groups with 1000 or fewer members, due to Yahoo's Export restriction.
I am hoping that someone may give any up-to-date info on this.
On this wiki page - see about uploading member names to Groups.io
Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)
