Re: Small Group Awaiting Transfer Since October 28th
#transfer
I am assuming you sent the invitation FROM YahooGroups.
You should check your status. Pay attention to (a). You probably have to resend your invitation. (There had been some problems with YahooGroups, but solved a few days ago.) Here's how: 8. How do I check the transfer status?
?
Transfers are queued up when you first set it up and processed in that order until you get to Step 5.?
?
At that point they are re-ordered based on when the transfer go-ahead is given and uploaded to groups.io in that order (unless you pay $200 for priority service).
?
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.
?
(a) If you've already started a transfer:
?
Go to the Yahoo transfer page at /yahootransfer
?
Select the transfer you want to check status on from "Existing Transfers" at lower right (i.e.: click on the name)
?
The box at the top of the resulting page will tell you the status of that transfer.
?
Repeat for any other transfers you may have in progress.
?
?- if the status is the message that starts "Make sure you have sent an invite to your group":
?
This means that Groups.io has not received your invite yet and that you should send another one. They will send you an email once they have received and accepted an invite. If this message hasn't been updated within 6 hours of you sending your invite, please send another one. This notice will be updated when they ?have received your invite.?
?
(b) For transfers that are actually approved and in progress, see where you are in the queue:
?
When you go to edit your transfer, if it's been submitted for transfer, you'll now see one of these 4 status lines:
?
Your group is awaiting export from Yahoo. [Stage 1 of 4]
Your group is being exported from Yahoo right now. [Stage 2 of 4]
Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io. There are about N groups ahead of it in the queue. [Stage 3 of 4] **
Your group is being imported into Groups.io right now. [Stage 4 of 4]
?
** Where N in Stage 3 is an estimate as to where you are in the queue. i.e. Your group is about 70th in the queue right now.
?
Stage 4 is the biggest bottleneck, as I can only import so many groups at a time without overloading the system. I can't give an estimate as to how long each group takes to be imported, because each group is different (how many photos, how many messages, etc). Also it's dependent on how many groups have requested expedited processing at the time.
?

Re: How to change date format
Date format is in your own account.
On your group homepage, go to your name in the top right corner, to account. Choose preferences. A dropdown menu with three choices. Be sure to save. Frances -- FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers |

Re: Yahoo member having trouble subscribing to my groups.io group
Has she tried to login?
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Logging-In And have you checked her activity?? Go to Admin, Members, her name/email address - click anywhere in it - not the check box. Several buttons - activity history, email delivery (to see bounces). Frances -- FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers |

Re: Welcome Message Not Sent After Transition

Shal You may be on to something. I extensively customized each of the default boilerplate Welcome Notices. I did not create brand new notices of the type Welcome and make them active. Since I have a few groups in the queue waiting to be transferred, I have created a new notice of the type Welcome, copied my customized text into it, and made it active. I have deactivated the default message, the one that I customized. I will report what happens. At a more leisurely moment I may quibble about the possible interpretations of "created a customized welcome message for your group." Thanks for bringing this up. Robert R. |

Re: Directory not showing all members
Directory vs the Members List
There are two places with group member names:
?
one that has all members (the Members List in the Admin area) and
the Directory. However, not all members are in the Directory - you can opt out.
?
The Directory is an index of member profiles.
?
A Subscriber's profile will be visible in the Directory only if:
?
-- (s)he creates a Profile and chooses to share it (Subscription->Group Profile->Edit Group Profile->Profile Privacy*), and,
-- group settings under Privacy->Member Directory is set to Subscribers, OR
-- the person viewing the Directory has Owner/Moderator privileges.?
?
The content of a user's profile can be anything they choose to put in it. Group Owners and Moderators cannot edit user profiles.
?
The Members List is an index of subscriptions.?
Its visibility is set by Admin->Settings->Privacy->Members Visible.?
Content is restricted by the system to designated fields (email address, display name, join date, mail delivery, etc) that are necessary to perform system functions.?
?
For privacy reasons, the members list will usually be visible only to Owners and Moderators, who can also "click through" each member record to send +owner messages, view activity, save notes about this subscription, or generally manage subscription settings.?
?
If you as an Owner want Subscribers to be able to "see" every other Subscriber in the group without forcing everyone to jump through the profile hoop, you must make the Members List visible. Doing so will not give Subscribers access to the underlying information, however -- only the "stuff" that appears in the main index (Display Name, Message Delivery, Email Address, and Join Date).
?
*Account and group profiles may also be edited via Account->Identity

Re: Welcome Message Not Sent After Transition
Robert, ... but not the customized Welcome Notice. Did you actually customize (edit) the Welcome Notice text? The Note says:
(Yellow highlighter mine) The way I read it is that if you simply left the boilerplate Welcome notice in place and active, that would not be sent. I think mostly because the boilerplate content is largely redundant with the You've been added... notice.

Robert -- Is it possible that the people you're conferring with were already members of the destination group? If so, it stands to reason those people would not have received a Welcome notice.Bruce The only Member (prior to the transfer) for most of the groups was my staff Gmail account (Owner). In a couple of groups I did Direct Add three accounts for our Moderators, including a different address that comes to me. That's how I know that the Welcome Notice is working properly for members subscribed by the Owner/Moderator, just not the ones added by [email protected] in the course of a group transfer. I have checked with several people whose addresses were added as the group was transferred, and all of them report that they received the Groups.io "You have been added" message, but not the customized Welcome Notice. I've checked the settings pretty thoroughly, so this does seem to be a bug. It would help to confirm it if even a few more members of this group report the same problem. It seems unlikely that Jesse and I are the only ones affected. if the problem is widespread, it seems to impact some very basic functionality. Thanks for your interest in this, Bruce. Robert R. |

As with Jesse, Groups.io did send a Welcome Notice to users (including my Non-Owner/Moderator accounts) when I Direct Added them both before and after the transfer took place. The notices came from the group owner's address. If it is at all relevant, this is a main group with 10 subgroups, 7 of which have now been transferred.Robert -- Is it possible that the people you're conferring with were already members of the destination group?

Otherwise, what you're telling me is in direct contradiction to the Notes section of?/yahootransfer, and I'm inclined to report it to support as a bug. Regards, Bruce |
