If an account is the sole Owner of a group, you cannot delete it.

Me too, as you would then have found yourself (via this email address) as sole Owner of the same group(s).

Anyway, you might want to ask her if she has ever created any groups of her own -- and if so, whether she can still gain access to them.

Never mind. I had to have her change the email address to one of mine and then I deleted it. I'm still scratching my head at this one.

I'm going nuts. One of my users created an extra account and I am walking her through deleting it. She is following my instructions to the letter and has shown me screenshots proving it. Yet the account remains. We've now been through this three times.

The problem is that I need to change the email address associated with her first account to the one associated with the second. I can't do that until she deletes the second account.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Stephanie,

So for #2, if I choose “auto follow replies” which states I
automatically follow conversations I started, what is then the
difference if I also select “all messages” versus “Following only”?

If you select "All Messages" then the "Auto Follow Replies" is moot in terms of what you receive by email (you'll be receiving them all). However, the Followed topics will still appear separately in the Followed Topics list on the web (find these site-wide pages under the Groups.io logo in the upper left corner).
/topics?f=1

3. If my ultimate goal is to receive messages from topics I start AND
receive urgent information from the group. However is there a way to
do that since it says if “special notices” is selected “advanced
notices” don’t apply?

Stick with Individual Messages -- my understanding is that Special Notices are automatically treated as being followed by everyone. But maybe that needs to be tested if no one can confirm it.

Donald,

You are so right.? In the past month our membership up-ticked with another 12% joining. Looking at the joined emails, most were from legit Yahoo accounts. a few even posted with questions.

PGO was the way to go for our tractor group(s).? We migrated 4 into 1.? And as a favor backed up nearly all the other Ag and Industrial tractor forums too as a help.? Like your Ham Radio with SKYWARN and MARS, some of the Ag tractor forums are critical in other countries to keep machines running and food supplied to America groceries stores and abroad.? Small and medium farmers can't fund websites or work computers in those countries.? But, email helps, they can do.

We were fortunate to be able to use the PGO-2-GIO program to upload
everything in several groups to a subgroup of the corresponding main
group.

Any member of the main group is welcome to join the subgroup, and they
can view, but not reply to, the entire Yahoo message archive up to the
Dec 14, 2019 cutoff. Everyone was given fair notice to move to the new
group(s) so they wouldn't miss a message. Most made the move. A few
stayed behind until very recently when Yahoo made their announcement
about sunsetting Yahoo Groups entirely.

The Internet Archive (a.k.a. archive.org) is primarily involved with archiving public internet content.? The site is the home of the Wayback Machine.? Their about page states:

Samuel,

I went into the 'Join' to see what more is there.? This gave further info on the options and abilities the site has to offer to pull the data in.

While following their link over to Archive.org, there is a [ ] Show Description box to check.? There, one can find their Yahoo Groups archived data and to use the metadata to search what dataset has the archived messages and info.

My group used PGO-4 and successfully made it to GIO.? We have the PST, SQL and MBOX formats available on our groups FILES section.? Members have access to look up the messages in the archives.

Does the platform permit private messages between individuals?

Yes...if they both create a group profile, and share them.

Once that's done, click the Email button for any individual's Directory entry to send a private email to that person.

I realize yes, if answering a post, But not clear if I can initiate a new topic that is just to a person or few?

That's not really possible. All posts to the group will appear in the message archive and are readable by every group member. The only way to restrict a topic to a subset of the whole group is to create a subgroup and subscribe them to it (note: subgroups are a Premium feature).

Bruce

I'm confused by this. I see that I can change my members' email addresses, and that this changes the address for their whole account. But I do not see a way to change my own email address in my subscription settings. Can someone point me in the right direction?

To change your email address, go to your name in the top right corner of one of your groups.

BTW, this thread is about advanced preferences for subscriptions. Not email addresses.

Hello everyone

As you may be aware, Archive.org has some old Yahoogroups archives available, here:


The archives are WARC files, zipped as GZ files. The WARC files are plain text files with records that appear to have been created by a Yahoogroups download script of some kind.

I have written a short AutoIt script that attempts to convert the WARC file to an MBOX-like file that Thunderbird accepts. Dunno, this may be useful for group who want to get access to some of the old message of "sister groups" that dealt with the same or a similar topic.



My script doesn't go further than convert the WARC file to a file that Thunderbird accepts. For example, I believe threading information is contained in the WARC file but my script doesn't attempt to parse it.

At its peak, Y!G had more than 10 million groups. Archive.org shows 8272 group retrievals, many of them several years out of date.

It shows 8000+ "results", but many results contain the data from multiple groups.

I'm not sure if there are only 8000 groups or if there are 8000 groups of groups. If I search for a keyword, it says e.g. "2 results", but those 2 results contain the data for 150 groups each.

I'm not sure if all results contain the data for 150 groups or if some results contain the data for fewer groups if they are very large groups. But if the former, then the potential number of groups is 1.2 million.

None of the groups' data that I have seen so far were from takeout requests but rather from download scripts like IgnoredAmbience's. This means that they do not contain full e-mail addresses and they often have character encoding problems.

If you select "all messages" it automatically deletes the selection "Following Only". You can't have "all messages" and "following only".

You have to select auto-follow replies to get replies from topics that you started or wrote a reply to.?

If you select Following only, you receive only the messages (individually or in digests, depending on your Email Delivery setting) posted to the group that are in topics you are specifically following or that are tagged with one or more hashtags you are specifically following.
i.e. you can choose to follow any or all topics and hashtags you are interested in.

I would opt for New Messages Also.

Is there an option or way to have an event automatically locked after the date has passed?

A member updated an old event as Not Attending and others were removed from the old event Waitlist, and put as Attending and were sent the acceptance email.? This got confusing because there was a similar upcoming event? and they did not read the date.

Thanks,
