Re: How to remove the "Apply for membership" button.
If you change to not private, not visible in directory, potential unwanted members cannot find your group.
If your group is closed and membership is closed, there is no reason to be visible in the directory. You can still invite your club members or, if you are a premium group you can direct add members of your club.? They need to know you plan to do that before you add everyone ib your club.? Janis |
Re: [email protected] isn't a member of my Yahoo group
I just found it by searching members with just "transf". Perhaps it would be a good idea to resend the invite? Perhaps the email was sent that the invite was accepted by mistake.

Transferring Content from Yahoo Groups to groups.io
#transfer
Doug,
You may want to review this post on detailed steps to transfer content from Yahoo to groups.? It will transfer all members, photos, files, etc, based on your preferences. You should also join the Group Managers Forum if you plan to admin the group - or have someone who volunteers to do so. Bill |
Re: after almost 24 hours, [email protected] isn't a member of my Yahoo group
I sent my invite on Tuesday and got the notice today they had joined my Yahoo Group. So that was about 3 days. However, I have not received the email that is supposed to come telling me to make the [email protected] a moderator yet. I'm waiting for that before proceeding to the next step. Need to follow the instructions from /yahootransfer verbatim.
Steps To Transfer Your GroupThese steps?must be done in this order?otherwise the group transfer process will not happen.

Re: Step 5 - no green "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button.
#transfer
Thank you, Bruce, for the quick reply. I am fine with waiting if that is what it is all about and I haven't messed up on my end. One more question - if I don't act on the green button ASAP, as in a few days, that won't affect anything, will it? We are heading into a likely power outage weekend and I am not sure how useful my phone might be at that time. So my green button might languish a few days. Susan Susan Taylor Brown?

Susan -- Thank you for the detailed description of your problem! Several people have recently reported that the status has been slow to update at this stage of the process. An email will eventually be sent to you, and the status will update (and the "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button become active) at that time. Until it does, all you can do is wait (and keep checking periodically).? Hope this helps, Bruce |

Step 5 - no green "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button.
#transfer
Okay so last night I got the email that the invitation had been accepted. I went back to Yahoo and made groups.io a moderator. In Yahoo I see the little crown so all appears to be fine there. ? I came back to groups.io and went to instructions that said, "Once again, pull down the Existing Transfers menu at bottom right and select the group you're ready to transfer. On the resulting page, click the green "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button. " I? can do the pull-down menu, choose my group, but on the resulting page I DO NO have the green "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button. " At the top of the page I still show the message "We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite." At the bottom of the page there is a blue "update transfer" button, a delete button, and an expedite button. ? Please advise. I tried last night before bed and again this morning, making sure to refresh pages. ? Thank you. ? |
Re: HTML links with thumbnail preview?
#howto
Joel -- Ah, a fellow stargazer! And only one state over, too.
A clickable image is a construct often abused by spammers. You could try to send this to the group via email instead of using the online message editor. I've occasionally seen emails get forwarded with things that the editor strips. No guarantees. Good luck, Bruce Bowman, |
Re: after almost 24 hours, [email protected] isn't a member of my Yahoo group
Rhoda, don't forget that you can check the status of the transfer.
From the FAQ -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups 11. How do I check the transfer status?
?
Tansfer requests are sorted by when the go ahead is given to transfer the group.
When you click on the green "Set Up New Transfer" button at bottom left of the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer), a new page will come up where you can enter the source and destination group names.?
?
There is also a series of checkboxes for the various areas of the group to transfer (files, photos, members, messages, etc). Simply uncheck the ones you don't want before clicking the "Start New Transfer Process" button.
?
If you've already started a transfer, return to the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer), select the transfer you've already started from the "Existing Transfers" list (pull down the menu and click on its name). On the resulting page you will see the same series of checkboxes. Uncheck the ones you don't want and then click the "Update Transfer" button. Actual transfer status for any ongoing transfer can be found in the status box at the top of the page.
?

Create the database table first, taking care to include all columns, and make sure to get all the data types right. If everything is set up correctly you can then import the CSV using the "import rows" function. Hope this helps, Bruce |
