I’m confused. I gave the go-ahead to transfer my group Mon 10/21st and as of 11:25 AM, Sat 10/26th my group is on step 3, 101st in the queue. I don’t get how your group can be 24 places ahead of me.

same thing, nothing happened.

Can you confirm that you are still the Group Owner; please don't assume, check!

Assuming that you are still listed as the Owner have your attempts to post been from your own (registered) email address?

Now this is a very long shot; check your settings; under Spam Control make sure that Announcement Group is not checked. (As an Owner or Moderator this should not make any difference, but things seem to be getting desparate!)

I tried posting to the group from a NON-subscribed email address, it was properly rejected, and got a rejection message back.

Just for some reason, valid posts are not getting in.

I tried posting as the new added member (alternate email), and same thing, nothing happened. The post just disappeared, not acknowledged, not rejected and not forwarded.

The advice that the experienced are saying - go step by step!

Someone in my Yahoo group?
What is step 4?
I already have a moderator in that group.

While I agree with you wholeheartedly the concept of a Sticky Topic only has meaning to members who use the web UI as a matter of routine. (FWIW that is my own personal preference.)

Subscribers who work mainly or exclusively by email (and anecdotal evidence points to this being the widespread preference) won't have sticky topics permanently at the top of their Inboxes; they will either slide into oblivion off the bottom or simply be deleted.

I certainly wouldn't argue against the topic being sticky in Messages view, but seriously doubt if it would greatly increase members' awareness of them, unless you have managed to get your members to work mainly or solely from the web UI. (If you did, please tell me how because I might try to copy it!)

I can add a member, so some functions work.

* Orest

I checked the Activity page.

There is no activity listed, since the import.

I think more like 9-9-9!

Hmm.

Would it help if someone else joined your group? Sent a message or two to your group to see what is happening??
If you are moderating messages, you could make sure it had Test in the subject line.

In trying to post a message to the group, once the message is sent, nothing happens. There is no bounced message back. There is no acknowledgement on the site. There is no echo of that message to the group. it just disappears as if it had never been sent.

I have sent several test messages. They are just gone. I scoured the various settings, to see if something was turned "OFF", but it doesn't seem so. A little frustrating!

The odd thing, is that the group was all working fine before the auto-transfer from YG. I posted a bunch of test messages, and they were all sent out fine.

I'll try adding another member, to see if that wakes up the software, or see if I can actually do that.

A Group_Management hashtag can help, but that is much less obvious in an email delivery than it is on the web UI.

Apologies! You are right.?

Victoria is not doing that anyway; look at the screenshots; she composed "Test" using the web UI with her "owner" address selected, but when it was eventually posted it just appeared as being from Victoria with the white cat displayed. No sign that it was a Group Owner message whatsoever. (FWIW her subscribers will see it as having come from the Group Owner address, but only if they look for it.)

Many people like to read messages as they come in and have the group?s functions set correspondently.

Victoria

Agreed. That would be a useful improvement. Both are standalone messages - both are currently locked so no new messages can accumulate.
Something to request on Beta when things quiet down?
