Re: Searching member list
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMark,One think I miss though is the ability to search the members list. Or am I just missing something? Possibly: On the other hand if you're talking about the group Directory, then no. It is sorely lacking a search box. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

?About what you should do - well, if you saw the posts today and yesterday, whether Mark can copy your group to Groups.io depends on whether Yahoo Groups is running properly. You could try to rescue your posts and even more importantly your member list. And keep hoping that things will be sorted out on YG so that you will have everything transferred.

Re: Detailed Instructions on How to Conduct a Yahoo Transfer
I realize there is now a holdup for transfers from Yahoogroups and I have been reading the GMF and other Group.io forums as diligently as possible. But I am concerned that I have a problem with transfers to two new group.io groups I have set up. I started the process more than a month ago for one group and at least 2 weeks ago for the other (3? maybe). I have gone to check my transfer status and at the top of the page for each of my groups, it says "We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite." I have been waiting patiently for several weeks now, but none of the other 4 next steps are visible on my page. I have invited the Transfer Agent to both my old Yahoo and new Groups.io sites, but that address is not showing up in my member list for either. I reinvited the transfer agent yet again today. I am worried that I have missed something or need to do something else or...? And today is the Dec. 1 deadline. Do I need to start manually inviting my 450+ members (and conversations since 1998) or should I just keep being patient? I did pay the Premium yearly when I first started this process in late October/early November, so I am confident that is not the problem. Now, I am worried that I had better start manually moving everything, but that seems overwhelming, especially when i paid for 2 premium memberships already.?Any advice or reassurances?

I know the country field is a pull-down menu, and I have put in addresses in my database using that menu to enter the countries. There are a few other fields in the database entry, like a text field in which I can add a date at some point. But when I later on update one of the (non-address) fields in a database record, like a date in a text field, and I want to save the changes I made, I get an error message saying that I have to enter the country name. Again...Ah, I see. Yes, that is annoying. So to me this feels like a bug, the country name should be saved permanently just like the rest of the address, shouldn't it?Seems like it. Bug reports should be sent to [email protected]. Be sure to include the above details. Bruce |

You can also send a "note to member" with just the group owner email address.
(Just tested it.) Go to Members. Select the member. Go to +Owner Messages button. Click Reply. If Note To Member doesn't come up, change to that from the dropdown list. BCC herself or all mods. Send. When the message came to me, it only had the group owner email address. Frances -- FAQ on Moving from Yahoo Groups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers |

She can sign my name to the message---I just wouldn't have to send it myself, which would be a big help.If it is to reject a message, any owner or moderator can do that. It doesn't give the name of the sender or group email address of the actual sender - just the email address. [email protected] GMF is very organized and has created several messages to be used for rejecting messages. Use member notices. Plus they can be tweaked before sending. Or do one freeform. BTW, I would NOT have the owner sign your name. There is no reason to do so and good reasons why not. Just sign your group name.?

Re: Export database with images

I also would like to hear of a success in this area.It's probably not what you're looking for, but I was able to get the db including images.? I had to use the Export Group Data on the Settings page and choose Databases.? Then wait for the email with the download link to the ZIP file, get that, extract it.? The images are not in the data section, but in their own folder under the database name.? Rather convoluted, but will do for a backup.? It wouldn't allow members to do it though.

Sorry for the late response Bruce, I thought I would receive a message when someone had replied to my entry but apparently not. Thank you for responding! Winnie, I see (as a mod) that you are Special Notices only. Hence no message.

Re: Members unable to add photos to new messages
The only way I can determine that anyone would be missing the contents of the format bar is if their Editor Preference is set to something other than HTML. Setting it to Markdown or Plain Text would remove everything on the bar except for the attachment icon.
I would advise them to visit?/account?page=prefs?to check their setting.? Jim |
