Re: premium -- not premium
J Forester,
I've sent [email protected] two invitations to join each group.You don't say if you've followed the steps that lead up to inviting the transfer agent to your Yahoo Groups. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups If you haven't then the invitations have been discarded. If you have then you know where to look to see the status of each of your transfers.

Well actually you DO have a status, and it would tell you whether the transfer agent had received the request or not. But since you already know otherwise . . .
?
What I don't understand is how the moderators here ever find the patience to deal with people who already know the answers. Then again, that's why I only post occasionally and am NOT a moderator here. These folks help everyone out a sense of support for the groups.io system, and there are times they deserve the recognition that they = do = know more than most.

It should read "However, anyone who is a member of the subgroup has to be a member of the main group."Okay, that makes more sense :-) However... does that also apply when groups are being transferred from Yahoogroups? I mean, if you try to transfer a Yahoogroup whose membership does not overlap with the IO group at all, into a subgroup of that IO group, does that mean that none of the Yahoogroup's members will be transferred? Or does transferring into a subgroup simply automatically make those users also members of the main group? [It's not necessarily a problem if they're not transferred along with all the group's content, because one can always direct-add or invite them manually to the main group later, right?] Samuel |

Re: How much time does it take to manage a group?
Well, the members don't have very many options and they are familiar with some already. Posting messages Members can post messages in two ways:
Posting photos or files Traditionally, this used to be done by sending files to a file storage directory and photos to an album directory and then posting a message with a link to the file object or photo object. This requires some learning. However, everyone has become so used to attaching files and photos to email that it has largely supplanted the previous means in many venues. (Photo albums still serve a useful purpose in that it's useful to have photos on the same topic from many users all populating the same album. Receiving messages Set the default message delivery to "Individual messages" so the users get an individual email for every posted message. Informed users who wish to have a digest (collection of messages sent less frequently) can change this setting for themselves. Informed users can also select no mail and visit the website periodically to catch up. Searching the old messages People forget (or never learn) this valuable approach. It's straightforward once you attempt it. Larry |
