There's no way to send the contents of a file.? You could create a Monthly Reminder Notice to be sent and include the correct formatting in it.? You can also send a link to a file.

Re: How to make edits without emailing everyone in the group #messages

Chuck Palmer
 

I recently ran into the same issue where a regular member did 5 or 6 edits on his post before getting it right. Everyone whose Email Delivery setting was Individual Messages got emailed all his changes.? So I was wondering 3 things:

1) If those whose notification is set for a daily summary rather than Individual Messages, would they also get all those emails?

2) If the original poster deleted then reposted the message rather than editing it, would the original message still go out to all, including those set for Summary?

3) Is there some legal requirement for this?? It seems like we're not allowing them to put lipstick on the pig but we're allowing them to kill it-;)

Thanks!

FYI, any Links pages on YG were transferred as databases when transfers were available last year.? You may want to use a database for them.

There is no such function on GIO.? It's been suggested before (on the beta group), but I'm not going to wait for it to show up.? I can create such a file in Notepad and upload it easily enough.

Not directly.? There can be NO formatting or extraneous characters included in the information used for invites (or Direct Adds).? See /helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/inviting-people-to-join-a-group/sending-invitations-to-join-the-group

Groups I was in used these very often.
Others may reply differently, but our travel group had a large links library in YG. When we moved, I moved the links to the wiki.
You can see GMF's wiki - albeit used for a different function. But you can extrapolate.

click the list of emails and hit ctrl & C
I tried doing this, but I can't use the ctrl&C or ctrl&V since it automatically creates an Excel file. Can I open and copy the addresses from this file to an invite? Thanks for any help! Marie
Re: member unsubscribe

This is what appeared when a new member (who never logged in ever on any device) clicked the unsubscribe link.?

Both obvious options seemed like they would lead to more confusion: (a) display an error describing why the unsubscribe can't be done right now, or (b) log out the different address and then perform the unsubscribe. I don't recall whether one of those or some other approach was settled on.
This screenshot shows what actually happens (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wzrUeNMwY561yq95ojcoFnGQpGKKafUx/view?usp=sharing). I still think an mailto link to the +unsubscribe address may be more straightforward.

Re: member unsubscribe

 

FYI, yes, I was on my computer and already logged in under my owner account when I hit the unsubscribe link in an email for a different account. So to test the below, I signed up my daughter from her device (she has never logged in) and when tried the unsubscribe link from her email/device she also got the same request to login. Before convert my entire yahoo group over any chance this is a setting I can fix? Otherwise I will have to tell folks about +unsubscribe in the welcome email, which is not something I want to highlight in a welcome. Thanks.

This was in the wake of the third option, which of course was unacceptable: (c) unsubscribe whatever address happened to be logged in. This had happened during testing of a simpler version of the unsubscribe link.

What Shal said.

To be clear, the only thing you can export is your member list. Files, photos, your message archive, and everything else was removed a year ago.??

John,

I can¡¯t export my group. I have no management button. I even went to
all my groups list and clicked on the group name with crown next to
it.

Do I need to use a computer?
Yes, I think so.

As I recall the mobile version of Yahoo Groups included only approval of pending messages, none of the other moderator/owner functions.

And now, presumably not even that.

Re: Creating New Topic in a subgroup for main group members

 

Green,

Is it possible to create a New Topic in a Sub Group to send to the
main group ...
No.

To send a new topic to the primary group, create it in the primary group. New Topics and Replies created in a subgroup will be sent only to members of that subgroup.

When she creates a New Topic in the Main Group the members see here
personal email address and she would like it to be something like
Activitie.Director.
In the primary group she can edit her Profile so have "Activities Director" as her display name. But that sort of assumes she never posts to the primary group as herself or for other purposes. Switching her Display Name at need would be possible, but tedious (and error-prone).

Nor does it change the fact that her personal email address will be in the From field of messages received by email. However, many email interfaces will show the Display Name instead of or together with the actual email address, so that may not be so bad.

I thought about creating an email address for Activities but then the
members of her group could not share that address.
There are only six members in her group.
The shared address could be a member of the primary group, separate from each of those six people's personal addresses, which would be members of the Activities subgroup (and perforce the primary group as well).

I'm not a big fan of creating "shared" email addresses - it can lead to problems when one of the people doesn't play nice, or just generally in terms of accountability. I haven't looked recently, but it may also be against the terms of service for many email services.

Maybe the best answer is for each of the six to have their own second email address, for use when acting as Activity Director. Then at least you (the managers of the primary group) always know who's saying what.

You might find a workaround.
Remember that subgroup members are also members of the main group.

?Ronaldo,

It isn't as simple as whoever you quoted said. Groups.io does not understand either CSV or TSV format.

After copying the list from Yahoo, you have to simplify it: remove all the extraneous information and commas or tabs. Pay attention to the formatting examples on the Invite page:

| Emails can be of the form:
|
| email@...
| Name <email@...>
|
| One email address per line.
|
| Upload Addresses
| Upload a file containing the email addresses to invite, one per line

I'll add to that: "no leading or trailing spaces, tabs, or commas".

In the correct format you can (and should) paste or upload as many addresses as you have. If that's more than 20 (in 24 hours) then there will be a delay before groups.io sends them out, but breaking the list into smaller chunks just incurs more delay.
