Re: Need some help new here
I believe you said you were using an iPad.?
If you have pinched to zoom, you might not be able to see it. Try 2 finger scrolling to see if there is anything off the edge. I looked at the screenshots you sent to the mods.? It could also be a hiccup and you should try to change your member's status again.

Re: Need some help new here
Go to:
Admin > Members Use the "Members, Moderators, Pending Approval, Bouncing, Banned" dropdown menu to select "Moderators" you should see all Moderators and Owner there. I just promoted one of my other email address to Owner and also could not see the Owner badge, but when I horizontally 'stretched' my browser window, or reduced (or magnified) my browser window I was able to see the Owner badge. |
Re: Need some help new here
Please go to Admin, Members and see how many email addresses are there.
You said you have 3 members. Including yourself?? Then there should only be 3 email addresses there. Perhaps your member has two email addresses in your group. Or perhaps you have two email addresses in your group. I asked whether you are still owner, because if you promote someone to owner, they can remove your ownership.

Re: Need some help new here
So you logged in (owner) and you made a member an owner too. You saved the change.
But there is no badge showing that this other member is an owner? Or is your owner "badge" missing? Frances -- FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers |

It's supposed to be retained, and Mark has stated that if this was so, it's unintentional (i.e.: a bug). For what it's worth, there are mechanisms in place to reassign the ownership of photos, but not of files. Hope this helps, Bruce |

It is easy to delete just a few. Frances |
Member Switchover Timing
Hello,
All of my groups/subgroups are in the "Stage 3 of 4" import queue but with expected completion times of about a month. AIUI, "Stage 1 of 4" exported a snapshot of all the available Yahoo group content and has safely saved it on Groups.io storage so there is no danger of loss of any historical content up to the point of export. The content is primarily just messages and static files - no photos, attachments, databases or such. Additional Yahoo group content subsequent to the GIO export will not be captured by GIO and will require manual transfer to GIO groups. Is this correct? I am really only concerned about messages. Assuming the above is correct, what is the recommended path to follow regarding the timing of the member switch overs? I don't relish the prospect of manually importing volumes of messages to the GIO subgroups even if it is possible to correctly set dates and ownerships. Should I send out invites, block further posts to Yahoo groups and force an immediate switch over to the target GIO subgroups? Should I create temporary GIO subgroups for immediate usage and move the messages to the true target GIO subgroups subsequent to import completion? Is it even possible to move messages among subgroups and retain dates and ownerships connections? Is it possible for a group owner to edit / reset posted message dates and ownership? Will threads be preserved (indexed?) across the import - subsequent posts divide? I expect that the GIO import process will preserve all Yahoo content attributes such as dates and ownership as related to the imported member lists. If a member subscribes to a GIO subgroup prior to the GIO import with the identical email address will that mess up any ownership or attribute connections? Any insights regarding these topics will be appreciated. Namaste', Art |
Re: Need some help new here
Do you have two email accounts with Groups.io?
