Re: Hotmail/Outlook email

 

Ken,

from [email protected]
Note that most members' email addresses are sent unmodified in the From field, so a test on the From field won't work for them. (Unless you list them all).

If possible, use another field, like Sender, List-ID, or even a match on the group's Subject tag ("[GMF]" here).

Re: Suddenly Not Receiving Owner Messages #bug

 

Ann,

Starting late this afternoon EDT, I stopped receiving owner messages.
Check your Subscription settings, Owner Email section, down at the bottom of the page. You might not be set to receive All (owner) Emails.

Otherwise, check your email service for an errant Spam filter.

Re: Files section folder hierarchy preserved when group transferred?

Martin Best
 

Cal,

If you click on the Move (scissors) icon in Files, it will show you the folder structure in your Groups.io group.


Re: How to find status page for transfer

 

I figured out my problem. My transfer was blocked because of a 2018 request to transfer the same Yahoo group. It was still pending and I had to ask the person who requested the prior transfer to remove the request

Thanks?for everyone's help here

See /g/GroupManagersForum/message/20965 on how to show more.? I would recommend 100 for this.? Select all using the upper left box, scroll to the bottom, select Change Moderation from the Action box, select Use Group Moderation Setting from the pop up, click Change.? You'd need to repeat this for each page of 100 people.? Infinite Scroll is also possible, but you'd need to scroll top to bottom to top to bottom to get them to all show on the page, selected, and changed. (It won't select the ones not showing.)

Re: My little group's transfer saga #transfer

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Just a note that the download from Y! groups takes place much faster that the upload to groups.io. Mark has indicated that downloads from Y! were recently?completing within?about 24 hours after getting the go ahead to move. Uploading, on the other hand,?takes much longer to weave all the data together on the groups.io side.
?
So when your group seems to be out a long way and keeps falling back by people paying the premium for immediate transfer, keep in mind that all?your data has likely already been saved, and you're just waiting for the upload process. When Mark asked for all transfer requests to be in by December 1, I suspect he's trying to give the system a cushion in case Yahoo starts to hang up and get glitchy.

How to Bulk UnModerate all 3000 Transfered Members #moderation

Dale Dreher
 

my group was number 466 to transfer.? today I paid the $200 and got transfered within an hour.. go figure.

anysays How do I Bulk Un-Moderate... when all 3000 members were entered into the new Groups.IO group the are all set to NuM or ( Moderated till 1st Message approved).. I don't want to approve the first message of 3000 people.. so..

Is there a way to Bulk UnModerate all 3000 members?? I see a window showing 20 members at a time... nooooooooo can't do that, will take days..?

how to bulk UnModerate.. I want to give Every Existing member a clean slate.

Pleaase.? ? ? ?dale@...m


Re: My little group's transfer saga #transfer

Timeline is about the same for my 3 groups.? It's a bit disappointing that it takes so long, but I'm not sure they promised any faster.

Yes, the first step after the invite is accepted, and [email protected]?is made a moderator, is to copy the group off from Yahoo.? That is the only step which really needs to complete by Dec. 14.? Most of us are waiting for the content to be written to the new site (so called Step 3), which is pretty much independent of Yahoo, and has no hard schedule.

Re: My little group's transfer saga #transfer

 

Yes, the header on the GIO's Yahoo transfer page says "Due to the pending discontinuation of many parts of Yahoo Groups, we ask that all transfer requests be given the go ahead no later than December 1, 2019."? That's less than two weeks before Yahoo pulls the plug, and current transfers are taking much longer.

I'm no technical expert, and don't know exactly how this works.? Does GIO take a snapshot of the Yahoo group once it accepts the transfer invitation, sort of like the Wayback machine, so that content is preserved?


Re: WIKI: is it possible to create an folder hierachy?

 

My experience with Wiki is, it is a text editor. I would use the Files section to do folders.

Re: Transferring Yahoo group after October 28

 

Larry, do you mean that you no longer have any privileges on your YAHOO Group or on your Groups.io group?

If it is your Groups.io group, are you logging in with your right email address??

Re: When you are in Stage 3

The killer is that I started at 801 and went to 904 in 36 hours. That was yesterday morning - but hey I¡¯m finally under 850 now!

I can¡¯t find anyone else admitting they had such a huge pushback and fear it will only get worse as we get closer to the end of the year.

Susan,

Any member of a group can post, unless the group is an announcement group. Owners can always post.
If you can't post, you must be using your wrong email address to try to log into your group or email your group. Your email address is your account ID.

See this on logging into your group without a password -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Logging-In

Or please reply and clarify your problem.

It occurs to me that perhaps you haven't fully set up your Groups.io group - see this on Settings -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation

Re: My little group's transfer saga #transfer

 

I'm terribly afraid all the groups won't get transferred before yahoo deletes everything on December 14th.? I'm trying to transfer four groups....and only one has actually made it into the queue and it's at something like #853.? At the rate things are moving, there's no way groups.io will be caught up by December 14th.? I'm hoping yahoo will have a little pity and wait a bit longer.

Re: Transferring Yahoo group after October 28

 

Apparently I no longer have any privileges on my own group. I don't understand since I started the group and am the only owner and have no moderators. I don't see anywhere where I can recover from this, and Yahoo is no help.

I was going to change the settings to group listed in the public, messages private, but I wonder if I'm missing something? We have a restricted membership if that makes any difference.

Admin > Setting > Privacy > "Group listed in directory, private messages"
makes your messages only visible to your subscribers

AND I also recommend:
