Oh Duh! That makes perfect sense! And Groups.io would have no idea they were deleted so there is no way to accommodate for that. Thanks for making that clear!

The transition from Yahoo to .io was immediately done with neither issues, nor problems.? Thanks, David

The agent cannot transfer messages that have previously been deleted on Yahoo. Thus the total number transferred will be somewhat less than the message number assigned to the last message. I hope that made sense.

Glad to hear your transfer went well.

R Joe,
Isn't it lovely when some thing works well.

Have a look at Attachments in your YG site , those do not get transfered. These are thing that were attached to emails, most are icons and parts of signatures but in my case some are valuable assets.

I haven't done this yet but plan to copy each attachment and paste into the Groups.io group into? Files. The new file name should include the new message number for correlation with the old attachment name if possible.

OK,
Tony?

The migration process was a little slow to start. And it was not until I sent a second one that Groups.io acknowledged receipt. The only problems I ran into was after the invitation was accepted I went to make the transfer account a moderator...and that was not an option! I was logged in on my owner account and even reloaded the page, still nothing. But Groups.io support was responding quickly to my questions. I had to leave for a bit and when I came back I tried to see I could make a random account moderator and the option was there. So I went back to the Transfer account and now it showed up. I made them a moderator, notified support, clicked "start transfer". It was late EST but I thought I should compose a messsge to my community about what was going to happen, hopefully, in the next 72 hours, so they were not surprised by the message from Groups.io.

I finally finished my email sent it out via YahooGroups and then almost flipped out when I saw a "Welcome to your new group" message! I clicked through and sure enough while I was writing they were transferring! The timing was such that my message actually did not make the transfer! There is some good irony in that I believe.

My community of 18,500+ (Yahoo numbers) establishes on Onelist.com in 1999 transferred over ~11,000 active members and ~6,000 were considered bouncing so my "new" number is ~11,000. I always suspected the Yahoo number wasn't counting properly anyway and this new number seems solid.

Of the ~10,700 messages on my board it looks like ~10,500 transferred (even though what I recalled reading in the report was only a few messages did not transfer). But I am satisfied with that level of success in transfer. My *only* quibble is that I wish they would insert a "message not successfully transferred" in the sequence so that the message tally total was the same. I use the message number as my invoice number so I will have to use a temporary unique is until I get back out of my already used numbers :-) Small inconvenience and not an issue.

The best part? I have received ZERO complaints here in the first 24 hours. And considering Archaeologists can be a bit cranky about "change" (it comes with the territory lol!) I consider that absolutely amazing.

This morning, like any other day, a posting came in, I approved it and seconds later saw the email come in. I checked my observation accounts and the same result, something YahooGroups was no longer delivering on consistently and which had forced my had to make the "Jump".

I have been dreading this inevitable move for years and feared my archive of messages would be lost and of course trying to scrape all the user accounts has been a major challenge for years. I wish I had made this move sooner.

My hats off to the Groups.io staff who made this work. And a nod to the old staff at Yahoo (& Onelist & eGroups) who made it work as well as it has for my 19 years.

Best,

R. Joe

Re: Change Password

 

Did you type the new password in the text box before clicking the Change Password button?


Change Password

 

I went to change my Groips.io password.? I logged in and found an area with the log in data and a change password button, I clicked on it, and it did nothing.

Huh?

Re: prevent people from joining subgroups?

 

Jan,

1.? How do you moderate one person all there posts?? Is that override moderates?

Yes. The "Override" options for a member's Posting Privileges override the group setting for just that one member.

2.? I ha e a member of sub group that cannot add files.? How do I allow a non moderate to add files to subgroup

In the Settings page for the subgroup (each subgroup has its own), in the Features section at the bottom, you need to set the Permissions option for Files to Subscribers can view and upload. Don't forget the Update Group button at the bottom of the page before you leave the page.

Restricted Membership is the option for this.

Re: Problem uploading files

 

You nailed it, Ken!? I knew it had to be a simple permissions issue, but I just couldn't find it where to go to set re-set it.? Once I did went to the location you pinpointed for me??Admin->Settings->Features->Files->Permissions and set it to "Subscribers and view and upload", and saw that my group was not set to that, it was very clear why I was having the problem.??

Many thanks,

prevent people from joining subgroups?

 

The default group is for everyone, but I want to prevent people adding themselves to subgroups. How can I do this please?


Re: Invitations rejected as spam #membership #bouncedemails

 

Thanks Jim: I'll start composing my begging letter to the abuse address now. ;-)

For info, "domains.in.question" was my placeholder for the domains in question, as I didn't think the identity of the establishment was relevant here.

Writing to the abuse address is the solution, but the domain given -
domains.in.question - isn't routable over the Internet. It may be a domain
local to the academic institution's network... which means your prospective
members should complain... and if that complaint address doesn't work, then
they can try
postmaster(at)the_academic_domain and/or abuse(at)the_academic_domain .

Re: list subgroup members

 

For an admin, use the Admin > Members page while in the SG.? It only shows those that are actual members of the SG, not any implied members, such as moderators of the main group.? Regular members could see the list if you make the Members page visible in the Settings for the SG.? This includes email addresses, so may not be suitable for some groups.

list subgroup members

 

Is it possible for SG members (or admin) to see a list of only those in a specific group? The page where you see it all is becoming confusing!

Hi Milt,

?

I assume you have gone to Admin->Settings->Features->Files->Permissions and set it to "Subscribers and view and upload"

Subject: [GMF] Problem uploading files

?

We're starting a new group, not migrating from Yahoo, but moving files and photos from elsewhere.? At the moment we have one owner, six moderators, and two test members who are non-moderators.? Things have been going well and we're able to import Discussions and Photos from another group but we are having difficulty with Files.

As the owner, I can upload files.? One of the moderators can also upload files.? The rest, it appears, cannot.? ?Ditto the two test members--they cannot upload files.

When they try to upload files by clicking on Files in the left side menu, the Files page pops up but the Files icon is grayed out.? I've been through Settings, but I cannot find anything there that controls permission to upload files.

For the record, the +Uprade page shows that the group is using 41MB of total storage, so it would not appear to be a problem of too much data.

I see this issue has been raised before, but I never found an answer in the archives to this particular problem.

One temporary workaround to get the files uploaded might be making one moderate into a co-owner, but it's important for us to have rank-and-file members able to upload files too, so the workaround isn't a good longterm solution.

Can anyone offer help on this?

Many thanks,

Milt Baker
