Hello Frances, Bruce, etc. ¨C Thanx for that reply.
So while we ARE able to email to individuals using group.io, we cannot however send email to several people at once using group.io?
Or can we?? And if we are able to then we can select 'privete' to do so? Or how???
Just wanting some further clarification on that second (multiple) option.
Paul M.

Great Frances.. Thank you I will try them out and let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the help.. This is my first go around with Group.io and I am sure the group will have some question so I want to be able to answer a few questions.

It is easy to reply privately (off list) to just one person.? If you are replying through your email, reply by clicking on reply to sender in the footer.? (I believe that doesn't work if you are set to plain text. Recent discussion about this.) I do it through the home page. I click on reply and type and then click on Private (bottom right corner) instead of the green Reply to Group. Question 2 -?
2. If you receive an email in your personal email and you want to email to the group.io distribution list?are you able to do so.?If you can how will this be done?
That's easy! Just start an email. The only tricky part is that you have to use the email address you are using as a member. Except you can set an email alias that allows you to use another email address instead. Set that up on your group site - go to your name in the top right corner. In Account, scroll down and click to open Advanced Settings for Email Aliases. This is useful if you wanted to email to a group from your work computer. Your group email address is on the homepage of your group.? Frances

Re: Smooth migration of ~18,500 accounts and ~10,700 messages
Oh Duh! That makes perfect sense! And Groups.io would have no idea they were deleted so there is no way to accommodate for that. Thanks for making that clear!

Re: Smooth migration of ~18,500 accounts and ~10,700 messages
The transition from Yahoo to .io was immediately done with neither issues, nor problems.? Thanks, David

The agent cannot transfer messages that have previously been deleted on Yahoo. Thus the total number transferred will be somewhat less than the message number assigned to the last message. I hope that made sense. Glad to hear your transfer went well. Bruce ? -- The system Help is your friend.?? /static/help

Re: Smooth migration of ~18,500 accounts and ~10,700 messages
R Joe,
Isn't it lovely when some thing works well.
Have a look at Attachments in your YG site , those do not get transfered. These are thing that
were attached to emails, most are icons and parts of signatures but in my case some are
valuable assets.
I haven't done this yet but plan to copy each attachment and paste into the Groups.io group into?
Files. The new file name should include the new message number for correlation with the old
attachment name if possible.
OK,
Tony?

Subject : [GMF] Smooth migration of ~18,500 a
The migration process was a little slow to start. And it was not until I sent a second one that
Groups.io acknowledged receipt. The only problems I ran into was after the invitation was
accepted I went to make the transfer account a moderator...and that was not an option! I was
logged in on my owner account and even reloaded the page, still nothing. But Groups.io support
was responding quickly to my questions. I had to leave for a bit and when I came back I tried to
see I could make a random account moderator and the option was there. So I went back to the
Transfer account and now it showed up. I made them a moderator, notified support, clicked
"start transfer". It was late EST but I thought I should compose a messsge to my community
about what was going to happen, hopefully, in the next 72 hours, so they were not surprised by
the message from Groups.io.
I finally finished my email sent it out via YahooGroups and then almost flipped out when I saw a
"Welcome to your new group" message! I clicked through and sure enough while I was writing
they were transferring! The timing was such that my message actually did not make the transfer!
There is some good irony in that I believe.
My community of 18,500+ (Yahoo numbers) establishes on Onelist.com in 1999 transferred over
~11,000 active members and ~6,000 were considered bouncing so my "new" number is
~11,000. I always suspected the Yahoo number wasn't counting properly anyway and this new
number seems solid.
Of the ~10,700 messages on my board it looks like ~10,500 transferred (even though what I
recalled reading in the report was only a few messages did not transfer). But I am satisfied with
that level of success in transfer. My *only* quibble is that I wish they would insert a "message not
successfully transferred" in the sequence so that the message tally total was the same. I use the
message number as my invoice number so I will have to use a temporary unique is until I get
back out of my already used numbers :-) Small inconvenience and not an issue.
The best part? I have received ZERO complaints here in the first 24 hours. And considering
Archaeologists can be a bit cranky about "change" (it comes with the territory lol!) I consider that
absolutely amazing.
This morning, like any other day, a posting came in, I approved it and seconds later saw the
email come in. I checked my observation accounts and the same result, something
YahooGroups was no longer delivering on consistently and which had forced my had to make
the "Jump".
I have been dreading this inevitable move for years and feared my archive of messages would
be lost and of course trying to scrape all the user accounts has been a major challenge for
years. I wish I had made this move sooner.
My hats off to the Groups.io staff who made this work. And a nod to the old staff at Yahoo (&
Onelist & eGroups) who made it work as well as it has for my 19 years.
Best,
R. Joe

I went to change my Groips.io password.? I logged in and found an area with the log in data and a change password button, I clicked on it, and it did nothing.
Huh?

Re: prevent people from joining subgroups?
Jan,
1.? How do you moderate one person all there posts?? Is that override moderates?
Yes. The "Override" options for a member's Posting Privileges override the group setting for just that one member.
2.? I ha e a member of sub group that cannot add files.? How do I allow a non moderate to add files to subgroup
In the Settings page for the subgroup (each subgroup has its own), in the Features section at the bottom, you need to set the Permissions option for Files to Subscribers can view and upload. Don't forget the Update Group button at the bottom of the page before you leave the page.

Re: Problem uploading files
You nailed it, Ken!? I knew it had to be a simple permissions issue, but I just couldn't find it where to go to set re-set it.? Once I did went to the location you pinpointed for me??Admin->Settings->Features->Files->Permissions and set it to "Subscribers and view and upload", and saw that my group was not set to that, it was very clear why I was having the problem.??
Many thanks,

prevent people from joining subgroups?
The default group is for everyone, but I want to prevent people adding themselves to subgroups. How can I do this please?

Thanks Jim: I'll start composing my begging letter to the abuse address now. ;-)
For info, "domains.in.question" was my placeholder for the domains in question, as I didn't think the identity of the establishment was relevant here.

Writing to the abuse address is the solution, but the domain given -
domains.in.question - isn't routable over the Internet. It may be a domain
local to the academic institution's network... which means your prospective
members should complain... and if that complaint address doesn't work, then
they can try
postmaster(at)the_academic_domain and/or abuse(at)the_academic_domain .

Re: list subgroup members
For an admin, use the Admin > Members page while in the SG.? It only shows those that are actual members of the SG, not any implied members, such as moderators of the main group.? Regular members could see the list if you make the Members page visible in the Settings for the SG.? This includes email addresses, so may not be suitable for some groups.
