Re: Direct Add without Email to User #addmembers

Correct. The ability to Direct Add someone without at least including a message and a link to immediately opt out is something that would get groups.io in trouble very quickly.

Hi Martin

I trust you are trying to transfer Yahoo group and I hope you have followed the steps 0, 1 and 2 sequentially as given on the page? If you send the invite (step 2) before you completed the step 1 then your invite will not get recognized.?

Hi Sarah
?
Login to groups.io account and then go all the way to the bottom of the page (any page). Click "Easy Group Transfer" button. In the next page again go all the way to the bottom and click the "Yahoo Group Instructions" button. This opens the page listing the steps you need to take in the numbered sequence. At the bottom of this page you will see the "Start a New Transfer" button.?
?
Good luck

Multiple invites have no more effect than one invite, and only fill up the queue. Have you checked out the recent messages on the topic of Y! Group transfer in this group? Recently they have indicated the delay has been up to two weeks, due to a back log. How long have you been waiting?

I've issued the invite to [email protected] several times now an still no acknowledgement.

I tried email [email protected] but it just says 'non-deliverable'.

Could anyone help me please by sending the support my email address?and telling them I can't get through.

Most grateful if you could help me.

The irony is that I could easily create this member myself and make them a moderator, but that would be no use if they don't know my group on Yahoo exists!

Sounds like you haven't followed the instructions. If you had then the transfer agent would know your Y!Group's name. Pay attention to the text in the red box at the top. The green box too, for that matter.

I tried email [email protected] but it just says 'non-deliverable'.

?

I don't know what the problem is there. Maybe double-check that you're not accidentally selecting an address book entry (or auto-complete) for support that has a typo in it. If that's not the problem feel free to send me (off-list) the non-delivery message that you get and I'll forward it for you.

Sarah,

Maybe I¡¯m misunderstanding the problem. It¡¯s not a button. ¡°Easy Group Transfer¡± is a link. Is that not what you¡¯re looking for?

[mod note: the link at the bottom of each page takes you to a page to select Yahoo or Google group, which takes you to the Yahoo Instructions page, which has the previously mentioned green button.]

I just mailed [email protected] yesterday and got the message received acknowledgement. Are you sure you used the right address?
If not sounds like there could be an issue with your isp.

Re: Direct Add without Email to User #addmembers

 

Dan,

Yes,? it's in the 2nd set of check boxes you get when you actually start the trasnsfer process which is after the user is annointed moderator in the Yahoo group

Good to know, thanks.
?
I think you can edit the boiler plate - at least that is the implicaqtion.? In the Group Settings page, the top menu has a button for "Member Notices".? where you can apparently add or modify the boiler plate messages.?

Nope. The text there (for a Direct Add notice type) is only the inserted portion, the remainder of the Direct Add message is outside your control. This is also true for Invite type of member notice.
?
There is a check box there also for "Active" which I don't understand and it seems that if the "active" box is unchecked you get a default message and if it is checked but the text box for the message is empty you also get the default.?

Both those statements are true.

You can have more than one saved notice of type Direct Add, the one marked Active becomes the default inclusion on the Direct Add page. There ought to be (IMO), but isn't, a drop-list on the Direct Add page to pick one of the saved texts on the spot. That would be more convenient than having to pre-plan which one to make Active before clicking on Direct Add.
?
I just don't see a way to not send a message at all and based on replies I've gotten here it seems you can't turn it off completely.

I believe that not being able to eliminate it is by design.

Are you receiving emails from a Groups.io group but have never visited the Groups.io website? You probably don't have a password set up yet. Use the Email me a link to log in button above to log into the website.



Perhaps also emphasize Yahoo on this statement there:

We will accept the invite and then send you an email directing you to
make the [email protected] member a moderator *of your Yahoo group*.

Hi Prasad,
I'm feeling really dense, but where is the "Start a New Transfer" button. I started a group, and the group page does not seem to have it. I started it yesterday, so if there's a waiting period that may be it, but there was nothing I saw to indicate that.

What happens if you attempt to post a message to the group via your email interface?
?
Go to the Groups.io home page. In the list of your groups, what badges are showing next to the group name NB6GC?

We could be more helpful to you if you would answer Frances' question directly, rather than making an unrelated statement.

Following up on Duane's comment, what does the page show you in the location where Reply should be in the bar under the message? Refer to the screenshot below for an example:

If you could provide a screenshot of what you are seeing in your group's messages that might be most helpful in figuring out why you see no Reply.

What does it show for your EMAIL ADDRESS? Is it the same email address that's subscribed to the group?

In groups.io, your name means nothing...your email address is your user ID.

Also, be advised that logins expire after 30 days or whenever you delete your browser cookies.?My guess is that if you log out and then log back in using the email address that's actually subscribed to the group then this problem will go away.

Hope this helps,

You can add content to the message, but you can't eliminate the message entirely nor even edit the boilerplate that surrounds the customized section.
