Re: auto-subscribe member to subgroup
#subscription
#subgroups
Derek,
Can I have a new member automatically subscribed to a sub group (orIt depends: The direct answer is no, if the person joins the primary group there's no mechanism to automatically join them to a subgroup. However: When you use Direct Add in the primary group there will checkboxes for the subgroups to include them in. If you Invite them to a subgroup, and they accept, I think they will automatically be added to the primary group as well. If they issue a +subscribe email to the subgroup, or click the Join/Request button on its home page, I think also they will automatically be added to the Primary group. I'm not sure about this one, I seem to recall there being cases where they'd get an error about needing to join the primary group first, but I think Mark fixed that. Maybe. I'm also not exactly sure what happens if the primary group has restricted membership and the subgroup does not. You probably need to approve them before they're added to either (I should hope).

Re: Growing a group
#promotion
I figured out how the text was done, and it was like Duane said. Before I figured how the text was done, it didn't occur to me to try and highlight the blank looking areas. I'm using Chrome as my browser, so I tried using the Find function to see if it would reveal any hidden text. I typed in 'keyword' in Find, and low and behold there was the text! I like that idea, so used that little trick on my home page.

Re: Managing Direct Add Membership Query
John,
Does this mean that the Moderation status becomes the group default,What I've done in the past is temporarily change the Default Sub Settings to be what I want for the added members just before doing the Direct Add. And then put it back after. A bit clumsy, I admit, and you could get a misfire if someone joins on their own (or via another moderator) at the same time.

Re: Identifying Missing Messages after YahooGroups Transfer?
Ron,
toggle quoted message

You can also compare the Message History grid on your groups.io ¡°Home¡± page for your group with the equivalent on the Yahoo site. It¡¯s a bit tedious, but you should be able to determine which months have discrepencies. I did this for my group (11 years, 1300 messages) and found the discrepencies. All were spam that was removed, duplicates, or mismatches in Date sent versus Date received which caused them to appear in a different month. Although, it¡¯s odd since you¡¯re the only poster, but you should be able to figure it out. Gilbert On Nov 7, 2019, at 6:15 PM, Bruce Bowman <bruce.bowman@...> wrote: |

Re: Personalgroupware (PG Offline)
Larry,
Our group prefers to use the messages in one large Excel file.? About 9Mb for a mere 32,000 messages. This way, exported from PGOffline as a CVS file, and then into OpenOffice, and excel file can be made.? This file than can be saved in a files location on Groups.io to download.? The file is easy to search for topics or words or just about anything really. I have 3 groups merging into 1 here.? PGOffline give the flexibility, but a person must do the leg work to make it all happen.? Reading how these other group are doing direct transfers and their problems, I believe our actions are working better in the long run. Next to the John Deere tractor group, our tractor group is the second largest at 4,294 members.? ? |

Scott,
How exactly do I tell Groups.io that I am ready? Do I click UpdateNo, the green "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button. See the screenshot at the bottom of Step 3 here: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups Step 4 you've accomplished, and when you click that button you should advance to the next screen, as shown in Step 5. Note that the status message shown at the top of screenshot in Step 5 has been updated to be more informative, but I haven't run another transfer in order to get a fresh screen shot. If anyone out there is running a transfer and would like to send me off-list new screen shots (of any step in that page) I'll be happy to update the page.

Re: Refund
Dennis,
How easy is it to get a refund if yahoo continues to change the rulesEasy. Just contact [email protected] At this point it seems about the only thing that's likely to stand in your way is if you are unable to invite or promote the transfer agent in your Yahoo Group. See the "Test your ability to promote members in your Yahoo Group" in the Preparation section of GMF's transfer notes: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups The queue of groups waiting to be exported from Yahoo seems to be relatively short, and once past that stage the content that could be read from Yahoo is secure at Groups.io. So you should still have plenty of time before the Yahoo cutoff. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Important to know...for those who have recently transferred, the attachments were not transferred with your messages. Sort the messages in inverse date order by clicking the Date link at upper right, then see?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/22411?for instructions on how to delete messages and/or entire topics. It is tedious. If most of your attachments consist of photos, they might be more efficiently deleted from the Emailed Photos folder.

Re: deleting messages
(Will this happen, or will the attachments stay in storage even though the corresponding message is no longer there?)I just tested and deleting a topic (or message) deletes the attachment. In Photos, I can see the amount of storage going down after I delete some. Just go to Photos - menu on the left in your group home. As far a jumping down a list, you can't jump ahead except the small amount displayed but you can change the number of items displayed on the screen. Go to your name in the top right corner. Choose Account, Preferences, change the number for Items per Page. (Some reported problems with infinite scroll.) Be sure to Update Preferences at the bottom of the page. I can¡¯t find any way to jump to the oldest message other than change the date order ¡ is that correct?Just by using the toggle beside word date - the little blue triangle.

Re: Multiple copies of the same message

Is there a way to tell the groups.io system to keep only the latestWell, that's kinda what happens anyway. In the online message archive, only the most recent version of a message will display. But if it's been edited, you can click on the blue Edited tag at upper right to show what changes have been made, and when. As far as emails are concerned, every time a regular subscriber edits a message, it is sent out again to those who are on Individual Emails delivery. If that is objectionable, you need to train people to get their edits right the first time, or simply disable message editing entirely in your settings (Admin>Settings>Message Policies>Disable Editing Messages).
