Re: Suspicious "set display name via email" events

 

Drew,

Today, according to the activity log, in the span of 10 minutes
fourteen members in our group "set display name via email". Typically
there are two or three in an entire day. Any idea why the very
unlikely coincidence?
There was another incident like this reported recently.

Speculation included continued activity by the transfer agent (which is reported as "via email") or some trigger to coincident first-time posting.

I agree. I think it's very, very high on his priorities.

Were there any members today that started bouncing and then unbounced? If they unbounced by responding to a bounce probe, the names from those email addresses would all have been harvested automatically and plopped into the display names of those members.

I suspect Mark is trying several different approaches to getting the transfer agent onto different groups. I was assisting transfer three different groups a couple weeks ago. The Yahoo invitations never did go through, but I asked Mark about the old Yahoo request membership link. Mark was able to get transfer onto those groups using that and the group transfers were set in motion that way.

I'm confused because Mark posted that he'd completely changed the transfer process:

"I spent a good part of this week completely redoing how I do Yahoo Group transfers. No longer do you initiate transfers by inviting the transfer user to join your group. Instead, you go to?/yahootransfer?and fill out a form, with your Yahoo Group, your Groups.io group and what you'd like to transfer. You can then track the progress of the transfer through the website."

He says "no longer do you initiate transfers by inviting the transfer user to join your group" etc., but when you click on the link, it still instructs people to do that. I think this is creating some confusion. Possibly he posted the wrong link here?

Re: Questions on Transfer Form

 

Shal,
Because no one in this group knew which choice to make, I sent a message to Support. It turned out to be a bug and has been corrected. I looked at the form just now and it has been fixed.

Stan,

In the Wine example I gave the drop down list of group.io

Which one do I choose?


None of my transfers were into groups that had subgroups, so I don't know. I'd probably choose the second as it seems less ambiguous (all of the subgroups are part of Wine.groups.io <>, whereas Wine alone seems to uniquely designate the primary group by its name).

In the list of group names you get by dropping the "Your Groups" list the indentation and the icons make it clearer. In that list choosing the Wine.groups.io <> entry is a synonym for choosing "Wine".

Also, I'm confused about the sequence. The instructions say send
the invite and then uncheck all moderation privilages, if desired.

There's an implied "wait for the transfer agent to accept the invitation" in there.

Then it goes to the


Your message seems to have cut off at that point.

Furthermore, after being admitted and also receiving the welcome message, it still shows "no email deliveries."

Re: trouble with transfer from yahoogroups

 

My bad, all. I was trying to invite [email protected] to my groups.io group, not my YahooGroup.
It always helps to actually READ the instructions, not skim!

And I would say, "maybe not". A current pending member, who has received both the confirmation email and pending member notice, shows "no email deliveries" in their email delivery history, right now, in my group.

Re: trouble with transfer from yahoogroups

Let's see how it goes when I follow instructions.
Thanks for your help. It is now PLUGGED IN. 8^)

Caroljoy,

I have invited [email protected] to be a member, but get a message that this email address has errors.

Can you elaborate on that? What kind of errors?

Just to check the "is it plugged in" box, you are using the Manage Invitations page in your Yahoo Group, right?
?
I can't seem to find any help for this. The instructions say that there could be a delay of several days, but it's been more than a week and it doesn't seem like the process is even getting to the point of [email protected] being a member of my group, let alone making them a moderator to make the transfer.

Does the In Process page for this transfer have any information about your status? You can use that page before Step 4 just to see where Groups.io thinks you are in the process. It won't tell you where you are in line, but I think it shows whether or not the invitation has been received and/or whether the transfer agent has joined your group.

Nice. I like not having to track down one of their messages first.
I haven't been able to find the "All Posts by This Member".
Where is it?

J,

He says "no longer do you initiate transfers by inviting the transfer user to join your group" etc., but when you click on the link, it still instructs people to do that.

"CHANGE: More updates to the Yahoo Group transfer process after I learned that many groups do not accept -subscribe email requests."
Site Updates for 3/2

I got a little whiplash myself from that about-face.
