Moving database from one IO group to another

mrfixit82852
 

I found how to easily move a database from yahoo group to IO group.

But how can I move a database from a IO group to another IO group.

When exporting the yahoo database it was exported as a Xcel? file, but when exporting a IO database it exports as a text file with no columns

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Joe

Sharon,

If a main group member is deleted, are they automatically (and
reliably) deleted from a subgroup?
Yes.

I didn’t think about what you said about no being able to see a button. Now I need to log out and look for it.

No, seriously: they all have either a "Join this group" or "apply for membership in this group" button. If yours doesn't have one, it's because you're already in the group and are not seeing it. It probably says "you are a member of this group" instead.

If you are looking to add the feature to a webpage. There is HTML code ready to cut and paste into a website when you click on the "Promote" button the side. It is the button that looks like a megaphone

Re: Photo album sorting - revisiting?

 

Mike, my group is asked to name their photo album with their name. Groups.io sorts them alphabetically for us and that works. Yahoo did most recent, but then after those few it was a hodge podge to find any album but one's own.

I think that has been mentioned before and there's been no change, but is that any way to sort photo albums "alphabetically" or by "most recent?"? Even a listing like the "Files" area has would be helpful in finding the most recent photos.

Re: Question About Transferring a Large Yahoo Groups List #transfer

One group I am having transferred has about 3 GB of photos and files, so I opted for the $10/month (actually, $110/year) cost.? Asked for donations and got $5, $10 and $20 donations (via PayPal) to cover the cost, and that's a group of about 50 people.? It is a friendly group, we pretty much know each other.

So with a large group like you have, you might ask for a little cash to cover the cost and I bet you'd be surprised how generous people can be.? Plus it's a LOT more fair to the IO guys and will help keep them in business.

Re: Managing bouncers #membership

 

The problem I see with your plan is that if their email is bouncing they won't receive your mass email to them. I agree with you about cleaning out non-working addresses. Here is the plan I have devised.

- If the bouncing address is for someone I know and/or I have an alternate means of contacting them, then check with them about the issue.

- Otherwise wait until they are changed to Bounced (a red B) from Bouncing (a blue B).

- At that point send an email directly to their address.

- If this email bounces remove them from the list.

- If it doesn't bounce then leave them on the list and wait for their response.

- If more than 15 days have passed and the address hasn't been changed to Bounced (a red B), but is still marked as Bouncing (a blue B), send an email to try to figure out what the problem might be. (Sometimes it takes a bit more than 15 days for the change to happen.)

When I first moved my lists to Groups.io there were several bouncing members. Probably close to 10%. Almost all had a reason for bouncing of "invalid address" or something similar. My impression is that Yahoo hadn't been marking bouncing subscribers for some time and so quite a few had accumulated. All of them eventually turned red and I made a special attempt to contact them which failed and they have been removed. Now things have settled down with only the very occasional bouncing address.

·Blue Bouncers with digest or single email delivery are not receiving the service they signed up for, although they may still be reading online and not be aware that they should be receiving email.
·Red Bouncers of any stripe are unreachable, but they might still be reading online.
Plan:
·Blue Bouncers with digest or single email delivery have first priority for me.
oSend out a mass email by checking them on the membership list and using the send message activity to ask them to check their spam folders and their spam blacklist. If they still want to participate, but our group address on their spam whitelist by adding us to their address book or explicitly to their whitelist. If they are no longer interested in the group, invite them to unsubscribe. Note that this message may not make it through their spam filter, but it’s easy so why not try?
oPost a message to the list that requests members who think they ought to be receiving emails to check spam as above. This may hit a few more bouncers. This may also help address blue bouncing no-emailers and red bouncers.
oFollow up by forcing a probe in a few days.
oFollow up in a few days by downloading the remaining blue bouncers list to a spreadsheet and doing a mailmerge. Send the mailmerge from a non-groups io address in hope that it will make it through the spam filters.
·Blue bouncer with no-email. Second priority.
oThey are handled by posting a message to the list.
·Red bouncers
oPosting to the list might help.
Questions
·When, if ever, to start unsubscribing non-responsive bouncers? List hygiene says bouncers are an untidiness and inflate and confuse metrics, but there is still a chance that they are receiving service.
·I understand the system will eventually automatically unsubscribe red bouncers. If we have reason to believe a member is receiving service and is still reading the site, can this be prevented?
Thank you. I appreciate your experience and knowledge if you comment.

Except that to read messages on line they must have set up a password,
which involves email confirmation.

As far as I know, the only people that get automatically unsubscribed are those that mark a message as spam.? A red-bounce won't get any emails until they clear the problem, but they shouldn't get unsubscribed.

Question - are there any stationery/script groups at IO? - solving separator and text problem

 

开云体育

Dear forum members,

We’re thinking of migrating our script and tag group to IO-groups.
I have set up the group already and my moderator and I are still the only members. I’m sending try-out scripts to the group.
However, when I send a script, I get the separator and Groups.io links/text below across the top of it.
(see below)
io_groupsFooter_remove
Did any of you members that have stationery/script groups find a solution to this problem?
I would like us to be able to send and view our stationeries without the text across our creations.
It would be ok if it really shows up at the footer of our script. We have a snippet that we use at Yahoo to move their divider and text to the bottom of our script, but that does not work in IO.groups. I have sent several try-out scripts but it still shows up.
?
I hope I phrased this request correctly as English is not my native tongue.

Thank you so much in advance!

Re: Can't create a group, but e-mail says it doesn't exist

 

Barb,

So, I created a group with a certain name (same as on Yahoo), but now I am thinking I want that group to be a subgroup of another group.? Can I still use the name as the name of the subgroup?

The name of a subgroup has two components. One is the name in common with its primary group (the "subdomain" name), which was the primary group's name before it had any subgroups. See for example the beta group - it's primary is now "main", and "beta" is in common with its subgroups.

The "subdomain" or primary name must be unique system-wide, but the subgroup names only need to be unique with respect to each other.

If the existing group has no (important) content, and you want to simply start it over as a subgroup, that I think you can just do using the same name without first needing to rename or delete the existing group. Because that subgroup name will be "inside" the primary group name, in a way like one folder inside another.

If the existing group does have important content it would take an action by support to pick it up and make it a subgroup of another group. Same answer, no name conflict (and that would likely leave the original group name unreserved).

?

I see where you said even if a group is deleted the name is reserved indefinitely - would that mean I can't switch it?? Let me know, thanks!

Delete reserves, rename does not. So if you want to delete a group and later re-use its name, rename it before you delete it.

What about Pinterest?? That seems very photobased and it's free (I think).? If you're concerned about privacy, they have something called "secret boards" which sounds like you can control who sees it.? Just an idea.

Barb, that is a very good question.? I don't know, but I suspect folks do peruse through them, because we're a crafting group, so photos are kind of key in getting inspiration for your own sewing, quilting, machine embroidery projects.? So, thinking that maybe we could create a Flicker account for the old photos.? Just have to see if that is also free, based on the huge number of photos we have.? That might be a rather daunting task, though - moving ALL those photos to a Flicker page.? Have to look into that this weekend when I have some time.?

Thanks, Shal, good to know Flicker may be an option, as well as PG Offline.? Or, Adobe Lightroom.? Lots to think about!
