I have followed all of the steps to transfer a group from Yahoo to Io, but have not had the invitation accepted yet. I sent to invitation back around the July 4 Holiday and again yesterday. I understand it can take 2-3 days, but this seems to be taking a bit longer than that. I'd just like to get a status update if possible.

Thank you

Karen

Dang, I guess I should have researched this before I joined. I’m looking for a platform to substitute for Yahoo. I need to communicate with my music group but we also need an archive for images, and video and music files. I’m guessing with the memory constraints, this is not the place! If you have a suitable suggestion, I’d love to hear it. ?Yahoo and Google Groups both seem to be subpar.?

I just got my yahoo group transfered to gio.
I am receiving numerous messages that members are leaving the gio -unsubscribing?
Is there some automatic culling of emails going on?
I cannot believe so many would be leaving on the first day.

Is there anything in the GDPR that points towards the above being a requirement?

I think I would argue that your committee has made a rod for its own back and is now looking for someone else (ultimately Mark) to provide a technical solution. Groups.io has its own Privacy Policy and Mark has taken / is taking specialised advice about what is necessary to keep Groups.io in compliance with the requirements of the GDPR, and AFAIK renewals every other year don't feature.

I'm far from certain that it is in any way reasonable for your committee to more or less mandate that Groups.io finds a technical solution to a problem that it itself has generated, particularly so given that there is no clear legal requirement behind your request.

I have found what I think is your group's website, and I notice that there is no sign of a "Privacy Policy" statement anywhere on it! What I did notice is that there are several photographs of people who I assume to be some of your members; did each and every one of them give you permission in writing to use their image(s) on your website, and how long does that permission remain valid?

TIF files will not render in most browsers and, when uncompressed, run into tens of MB, eating up group storage.

I ask my subscribers to stick with JPG, GIF and PNG.?

Even in Thunderbird, TIF files show up as attachments and have to be opened using an external viewer.? Not recommended.

All,

Apologies if this has already been discussed or indeed this is the incorrect place for new feature requests. But I managed a groups io list where the committee have decided that in order to comply with GDRP every member must re-subscribe every 2 years.

After the issues getting people to subscribe in the first place I can see this being a nightmare!

My idea of a feature request is to have an extra field with a date that the acceptance with GDRP was declared for each member. Then have a function where the list sends a URL to each member and by clicking on this the field is updated.

Then have a feature where members people with out of date acceptances can be emailed to remind them to do so. (Allow for specific text to be entered).

Finally a feature to remove all members with out of date acceptances from the list.

Apologies if this has already been raised or indeed it's the incorrect place. The list was created December 2016 so time left!

Thanks,

Chris

The messages don't use any of the available storage.? The list of the items that do is at /static/pricing#what-is-counted-towards-the-storage-limits-for-my-group.? Attachments aren't copied.? Mark recently introduced a 100,000 message limit for transfers to free groups.? For more than than, you'd have to upgrade to a Premium group for a year, but could downgrade after that.

I have a Yahoo group going since 2007, probably about 30,000 messages, most of them without attachments.? Is it feasible for the groups.io folks to transfer these to a new groups.io group?? Any sense of how much storage space that would require, for example greater than one GB?

Thank you
Peter

Shawn,

It is showing up in the calendar at the correct time, there is simply
no reminder in email or in the messages list.

I'm out of ideas.

Note that I am having the exact same problem in 2 different groups.

If you want to try for three you can set one up identically in my test group, maybe that way we can spot what's different.

Claire,

Can I add .tif and .png files? Is there someplace that has guidelines
for what types of files can be uploaded?

I'm not aware of any restrictions on the types of files that can be uploaded to the group's Photos or Files sections.

In Photos .png files definitely work, but .tif is a very flexible format so while the file will likely upload, it may not be viewable without downloading.

Sandra,

The Spectrum tech:

1) Is lying thru his/her teeth
or
2) Was too lazy to check to see if the problem really exists.
or
3) Checked for a block ONLY on [email protected] rather than everything from Groups.io.

The tech I called confirmed a system wide issue. The issue is with Spectrum, not with Groups.io. In short, Spectrum is being stupid.

So I just spent an hour on the phone with spectrum (triad.rr.com) who tells me they are not blocking <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]. So 72 members of my group are getting bounced and not receiving or able to send a message to this group. I really do not want to move back to yahoogroups but it worked until I moved here.

I was probably the first to contact Groups.io support because a pending subscription notice wasn't received at home. It was several days old when I found it via the web.

Not sure where most of the problem is, but @sc.rr.com is affected and the RR/Spectrum tech I spoke with suggested it was system-wide.

It would probably be good for folks to call RR/Spectrum (877) 566-4892 if for no other reason than to get their attention about doing something stupid. If "too much mail" is causing them a problem they need to upgrade their servers.

They told me Groups.io needed to call them and request removal of the block/delay and I sent the number to do that to Mark via the "Support" email address.

Meanwhile, we should be getting the mail in question, but it's probably going to come in in big batches because they're delaying the mail by telling Groups.io to try again later, then finally accepting the backlog later. That business of delaying and creating a big backlog that's finally accepted doesn't make much sense to me, but that's what RR/Spectrum are doing.

I think it's a case of Google and Yahoogroups are "too big to block" and Groups.io isn't... yet.
