Leroy,

If the members email address could be added to the Directory,
useless could become helpful!

If you want members to be able to look up each other's email address, make the Members list itself visible to members. That's the Members Visible option in the Privacy section of the group's Settings page.

ruthie,

... we have a premium group…how are we able to “confirm a person’s
email address”? we can confirm membership, yes, but not sure what u
mean?

I don't have that situation, but perhaps this is the answer: in a premium group approving a pending membership also confirms the email address:
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/3192

If your YG list won't invite [email protected]?to be a member,? then it is a YG thing, To prevent an exodus?

Since groups.io has temporarily halted YG list transfers, then It may be that groups.io does not want transfer at groups.io
to join any more YG lists.

Consider trying?PG Offline - Download Yahoo Groups, Messages, Files and Photos. to save what you can.

I suspect you might be able to get partial backups at least;? it seems the problem is with YG files being corrupted
which will stop typical copy and verify backups.

I set my group to announcements by mistake and now I cant figure out how to change this.

Thanks

Anita

I just tried this as well for my group BBFCL to transfer to groups.io and I get the same error message! I'm following the instructions to the letter.

That is up to the person. If they have not replied to said email sent out by to confirm the email address it will remain as suck probably for good. I wonder if you could remove those or resend the invites etc?

Okay, so I've created a database for my group. I want the members to be able to go in and add their names to certain rows, that I've already put in. I do not want them to be able to edit the table nor do I want them to be able to add rows.
So, under "View Table" I've selected "Members"
"Edit Table" I've selected "Moderators and Table Owner"
"Add Rows" I've selected "Moderators and Table Owner"
"Edit Rows" I've selected "members"

But none of my members can see the "View/Edit rows" button at the bottom. The only way they can edit the rows is if I allow them to Edit the table too. Is this a glitch that needs to be reported, or am I missing something?

Thank you all so much this group is so helpful and I am super appreciative,
Tiffany

Yep, you're right I see it aaaaaalllllllll the way down there. Would be nice if it could be immediately following my message. Oh well.
Thanks!

Let's think about this for a minute.? As more and more folks get frustrated with Yahoogroups, and more come over to groups.io, the queue for migrating will grow accordingly.? As mentioned below, because of Yahoogroups captcha process, it can't be automated, so you need to be patient.? When I transferred my first group, it was done within a couple of hours.? I transferred another group (much larger) about a week or so ago and it took a few days.? And, between the time the first transferred and the second, Yahoogroups started giving problems with files/photo transfers.? My larger group got no files at all - so I literally had to go over to yahoogroups, download all the files to my computer, and then upload them to the groups.io group.? In the process of doing that, I discovered a LOT of hiccups/problems over at Yahoogroups with ME accessing my own files, so clearly there is more to this can of worms than meets the eye.

Patience - I don't work for groups.io, but I certainly understand "demand" and also limitations on time and personnel resources.? I'm sure SOME of the yahoogroups are migrating to googlegroups or something else.? But, I'm also sure that some of the less-active groups are simply dying off due to lack of participation.? Email isn't exactly something that the current generation uses as much as some of us older folks.

Yes, you can mute hashtags: /g/GroupManagersForum/message/120? They can also be muted by using the link at the bottom of an email, /static/help#hashtags see the Uses > Muting section.

Duane

Is it possible to mute hashtags? In many cases that would be more accurate than muting subject lines, which can vary almost randomly.

For example, I live in a community that has frequent requests for dog walking for people in the hospital. I am not likely to ever walk a dog. I would like to mute the #dogwalking hashtag forever. Others want to mute #meals or #childcare.

Is this important to others?

Mark got back to me on this... as you can image he's rather crunched. Here's how it works:
The statement about who can OPEN chats is correct - it is only opening a chat.
In order for a moderator to be able to perform any other management functions on a chat that has been opened, that moderator must also have been given "Edit Archives" permission. If that is granted, then a chat may be closed, reopened or deleted. Otherwise, an owner must manage an open chat.

Mark did also include in his note back to me that "perhaps I should change this"....
I replied that I believed that it would be a good and welcomed change. In many groups chats serve entirely different purposes than email posts. Many groups do not allow editing of archives for reasons ranging from courtesy to legal. Having to allow that editing in order for a moderator to manage a chat is not something that works in many groups.

I think - hope - that Mark sees this (he was very open in our posts) - but some support about it might be helpful (once he's out from under the Yahoo mess, which could be a while...). There is a post in Beta about it...

Since the Search box isn't available until a database is opened, I would think it would only search that one.? I was able to reproduce this once I found an item that was included in more than one database.? I tend not to search, but sort by the column that will make finding things easier, so hadn't noticed it before.? It should be reported to [email protected]
