Yes, you can definitely do that.? You can set it for "Not listed in the directory, private archives".? You'd want to make sure that all members must be approved to join.? If you set up a Group Guidelines notice, you'd also need to set that so only group members could see it.? You may need to go to some of the other sections of the Settings page to make sure nothing is set for public view, Calendar and Wiki come to mind.

What I could also use is a page of videos on how to post messages and calendar events. Otherwise, I'll be sitting with 30 group leaders. We have a group for each interest group--fishing, reading, movies, and lots of eating activities. ;)

Thanks, Duane.

It really would help me get this moving. My group is so old, they want to 'vote' on leaving Yahoo for greener pastures.

Some YG moderators can add another moderator (not all YG moderators have this authority).

Barring that, you can down load the list of members e-mail addresses.? Groups.io lets you invite new members a 100 at a time. I considered that option for 1800 members but then the transfer went through.? PG Offline may be able to let a moderator back up the databases, it seems more for list owners; I asked if moderators could download but didn't get a reply.? My backup plan was to have a couple of fellow members back up the files and photos sections to upload to groups.io.

The big concern for some is the archived messages.? Some lists purge messages after a few weeks.? Do you need the messages archive?

[mod note: I don't believe Groups.io invites are limited in number, but over a certain number (20?) the invites will be temporarily held pending for review by Groups.io.]

?

I am seriously considering migrating my Yahoo Group, but, and its a big one.? Can all access be limited to only members?

Our group is a Sheriff's volunteers with some sensitive postings, data base items (phone numbers), calendar (location of DUI checkpoints), etc.

The access must be limited for the site to be useful to us, we have had a private Yahoo group for over 11 years.? Just not listing in the directory is not

enough security.? Looking through the settings and messages on this forum I can't seem to figure out if this is possible.

Thanks in advance,

Pete

Do the following:

Click on Settings
Then scroll down to Message Formatting
Under Attachments select Strip
Scroll down and click on Update Group button

Attachments will then be stripped from e-mails.

Do you pay for this?

It may be the culprit of the delays.

I followed your instructions and added the domain groups.io to my whitelist on Aruba (my hosting provider).

However, I receive all messages sent to my @biblit.it address through Gmail. Maybe that's another cause of delay.

Thank you for your help!

Go to the Settings page for your group.? Scroll down to the Message Formatting area.? In the Attachments selection, you can choose Allow, Bounce, or Strip.? For minimal interference, you could choose Strip so the message would go through without the attachment.

I believe that's a FB group, not a page, since it asks me to sign in.? I'm not very familiar with FB though.

If you can create an account that is also a moderator you are halfway there.

The same for me. I sent an invite from my Yahoo group because I kept receiving an error message, but the activity log does not show any invite and there is no pending subscription (in my Yahoo group membership requires approval).

More fool me :-(

Thanks, Debbie.

Mine is a page I'm trying to integrate that tells me: The name does not appear to be part of a Facebook page.???Any thoughts?? Tammi

When I put our facebook page url in the url field, it says:? That name does not appear to be the name of a Facebook page.? Our page is?

Any thoughts?? Thanks so much, Tammi

Sharon,

How do you?set your Groups.io group to no attachments?? I don't see that option under settings, and it looks like the default (only?) option is to allow attachments.,

I'm just beginning the transition of a 750-member group from Yahoo Groups to Groups.io and am trying to understand attachment options.? Our group has many yachts at? sea or in locations where bandwidth is severely limited, so a no-attachment policy (as we have on YG) is what we need.

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks,

Milt

Over ten years ago, the owner of our group died unexpectedly. ?He left no information about accessing his account. ?I am one of two moderators who serve as owners but don’t have the title. ?We would like to transfer our group to GroupsIO but doubt we have the authority. ?Any suggestions before we begin this new journey?

To save a bit of time you can go to the "Members" pull down menu at the top of the Members list page and select "Bouncing". This will display all of the Bouncing or Bounced members in your group so you don't have to scroll through the entire list.
