Re: Caution: "Content flagged as objectionable" message
Is there a reason given in the email you got?? Could have been someone that got transferred trying to figure out what the Flag icon meant.? It's very difficult to relate the id=xxxxx because I haven't found a way to translate that to a file name.? You might check the Files area (or activity log) to see if any files were recently uploaded, but it my have been there for some time.

The first that comes to mind is whether the fact that we've already completed the main group transfer would still allow us to move the newly created sub-group at no additional cost. The second is the process. Do we simply set up "sub-group.io" and then task the move of the Yahoo group to the new sub-group.There should be no problem creating the subgroup, then transferring the information from YG into it.? Even if you'd done it initially, it would have been 2 separate transfers.? Make sure you understand the changes that will be made in addressing the original (main) group before creating the subgroup, /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Subgroups? There's a slight delay after creating the subgroup before you can access the main or subgroup again, usually only a few minutes, while the DNS information is propagated throughout the world.

Re: What is my "profile" exactly? If set to "public" how can I see what the public version looks like?

The page at:Yes. [BTW, no need to click HOME before going to /myname/.] Many pages on Groups.io either do not have titles or do not have titles that reflect which page it is. (In this comment of mine, "title" can mean both/either the text that appears in the taskbar or in the window bar and/or some sort of heading near the top of the page itself.) Breadcrumbs are also broken on many pages. To fix this, I imagine each instance should be reported individually to the bug tracking system. The bug tracking system at this time, I believe, is simply to send an e-mail to [email protected] (no further instructions are given on how to report bugs, except that the bug report should be well-formed). I'm not sure if users who submit bugs, can follow their progress, but I know of no way that *other* users can. It also doesn't tell you whether you're editing the "Account Profile" (really the Global Account Profile defaults), or the account profile for a specific group.Yes. The only way that a user can know where he is is if he knows how the global setting's page differs from the group-specific settings pages. 1. The global page has this warning near the top: 'Changes made to this profile will also be made to each group profile, with the exception of those fields that you have previously customized in each group profile. To edit those customized fields please go to the specific group profile and click "edit".' 2. On the global page, you can change your user name (the @name). Of course, this is only a problem for users who open links in multiple tabs simultaneously or who use browsers where pressing the back button and then the forward button again deletes content previously entered. Also, if editing the account profile for a specific group, there should be a link to the very nice page you pointed me to.Yes, I fully agree. RFEs should be posted to the beta list... but not right now. Due to the Yahoogroups thing, the beta list is temporarily closed for non-transfer related discussions until about the end of the year (see ). We should remember to revisit the issue after that.

Re: Message Numbering Query
John,
In the other case, message sequence from Yahoo ended and messagesInteresting. I'm going to guess that those low message numbers were posted to the Groups.io group before the transfer got to stage 4. Otherwise, I think you may want to report this to [email protected] because the message numbering should only increase as messages are posted or imported.

Re: transferring Yahoo message archive to an active group
Emma,
Yahoo message history. Can we transfer over our Yahoo archive withoutYes. Any member email addresses already present in the Groups.io group will be skipped when the transfer is copying the Yahoo Group's Membership list. Or, when you set up the transfer you can uncheck the Transfer Members box if you've already brought over the members and the transfer would only add back "deadwood" addresses. For messages, the Yahoo Group messages will post at message numbers sequential from the existing messages. Possibly intermingling, if there are people actively posting during the transfer. This normally isn't a big problem, as the Messages/Topics lists are sorted by date, not number.

Re: Second group to move
Eric,
Our "management" is so impressed with the process and with the productIs this "management" directly related to the first group? That is, are all 20 members of the management also members of the first group? If so, then Duane's suggestion of transferring the management Yahoo group into a management subgroup of the first Groups.io group might be perfectly appropriate. And it would allow you to use the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer to copy the messages without paying an additional upgrade fee. The Setings page of the management subgroup can be configured to fully hide that subgroup from the primary group members. They would would be able to infer that there is or was a subgroup, owing to the changed address (web and email) format for groups with subgroups.

transferring Yahoo message archive to an active group
Our organization created a new group last month without transferring any data from our old Yahoo group. Now we've decided we want to preserve our Yahoo message history. Can we transfer over our Yahoo archive without wiping out the messages and member info already posted to the new group? Thanks! Emma |

Re: different emails for different groups
Steve,
I belong to several groups and I have several email addresses. I wantGroups.io has no facility to selectively move subscriptions between accounts (like Yahoo Group's Membership Wizard). You can only change the email address for your whole account, which takes all group subscriptions with it. So the only way to achieve what you want is to re-join the subset of groups with the alternate address, and unsubscribe with the main address.

Re: owner vs subscribed email
Alan,
I wanted to change my email that I receive emails as, and it asked meThe operation is to merge this account (the one where you initiate the action) into the other account. So yes, when completed this account would not exist. of which I am the owner of several lists. I do not want that deleted,So perhaps you wanted to delete the other account before attempting to change this account's address. Or perhaps do the merge the other direction first. I can't seem to find a way to "undo" the merge.There seems to be some ambiguity as to whether you actually did the merge. The other account would have to "accept" the merge in order to complete it. On the merged account it shows me as only a regular member and not theSo apparently you joined the group with this other address, as well as your "original" one. Going back to the above, you could either unsub this other address, then delete its account. Or do the merge from it into your owner account. I can still login to my owner account but it told me it was going toIf you can still log in to your owner account then the merge did not actually take place. please do not delete it.That's all in the mechanism, no human intervention involved. And especially not by anyone in GMF (no Groups.io employees here). So if it hasn't been deleted then it won't be. Unless you take some further action to do so. Like confirm the pending merge in your other address's account. If there is one. it would be nice if we could setup an email address to have messagesSounds like you have that with your two subscriptions. You can receive and reply to group messages using the other address, and set your "owner" subscription to No Email (or the limited delivery of your choice). Or, promote the other address to moderator and do it the other way around: in its Subscription set it to No Email then turn on all of its Moderator Notices and Owner Email. Then do the opposite in your "owner" email's Subscription. What you can't do, but might have been wishing for, is use a single log-in session to manage both subscriptions. As mentioned in other recent threads, Groups.io has a strictly one to one correspondence between subscription addresses and accounts.

Re: different emails for different groups
If you just wanted to send from another email address, I would suggest an email alias. However you want to receive email with different email addresses.
Ideally, you would set up rules in your email account so that your email is automatically sorted. That's what I do. If you don't want to do that, you will need to create another account. Direct Add yourself if you have a Premium account. Or use the invite mechanism. Keep the old email address as a group member but put it as No Mail or Special Notices only. However you will lose some of the convenience of one place to look.? Frances -- FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers |
