I suspect this means you need to contact [email protected]??...probably because your Yahoo group has more than 1 GB of files and photos.

See?/static/pricing?, in particular, the "storage" row.

Hope this helps,

Shal,
I unchecked the box that Bruce mentioned and am sending invitations from io
The transfer took just a couple days. I will be sending out the invites to log in and start using on Sunday.
I used some of the verbage that you shared. A big thank you for your help and GMF!

This delay was added to keep unscrupulous people from adding everyone in the world to a group.? It should kick in when you add more than 20 people in a 24 hour period.? Mark usually notifies you shortly, but it can take awhile.? Some folks have noticed that the delay may not occur on subsequent add sessions.

You can just add them to the subgroup using the Admin > Subgroups menu item.? /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Why-use-a-Subgroup? If you have a Welcome Notice set up for the subgroup, each person will receive that when you add them.? You could set up a Direct Add Notice for the subgroup instead (or in addition.)

There's quite a bit of information about various parts of the site in the Wiki for this group.? Not all items are covered and improvements or additions are welcome (hint, hint).? Mark is constantly adding and 'adjusting' features, so corrections may be needed for some pages.

Go to the transfer page at?/yahootransfer

Scroll to the bottom, click in the "In Process" box, and select your group from the drop-down menu.

There should be a grey status box at the top of the resulting page. Check that and report back on what it says.

Hope this helps,

I am moving members from Yahoo Groups to groups.io and decided to use the Direct Add feature so I have some control over the display name.? After adding about 120-150 or so, I got a message saying I had reached the limit and would be notified when it was ok to resume.? Can someone tell me how long the wait is and is this triggered by the number of users or the rate at which users are added.? I have about another 200 to add.? Thanks

I am in the process of creating a subgroup for DanburyCOCWomen.? I have the dumbest question. How do you add people to the group who are already accepted the invitation.? (I know, they have to be in the main group before they can appear in the subgroup).

Does this too have be an invitation?

Is there any literature on any of this material anywhere so I don't have to bother anyone unless I can't understand what I have read.? If there is, can you point me in that direction.??

We will be using Chat and Polls very soon so I want to be prepared for those when then come up.

Thanks

I manage a group that just fled from Y!, so my experience with Gio is a little thin.? Our group requires moderator's approval to join.

Someone with a Gmail address has sent a subscription request using IMAP's "plus addressing."? The email address is in the form username+label@gmail.com.? Gmail will accept a message sent to this address and will assign a label to it named label (it's actually an IMAP folder).? This can be a handy way to arrange your incoming mail.? (A Gmail filter is probably a better approach in this case, but I'll ignore that for the moment).

My question is: Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing?? Does Gio treat a plus address in any special way or just ignore it like an ordinary non-plus address?

Thanks for any advice.

Does anyone know about how long it takes to transfer the Yahoo group files and photos to IO? ?I set up a new IO account for my club last month. ?I cannot see any way to check on the progress of it, and the files still have not transferred.

Thank you.

Yes, it's a nice feature but there is a system load to poll all the facebook pages.?
If you would like to see a new feature to configure the frequency, post a suggestion in the beta/main group.
Thanks

Outside the realm of politics there are no legal requirements for ACCEPTING donations.

Depending upon your legal jurisdiction, there are legal issues regarding
acceptance of donations.

The legal requirements applicable to a business like Groups.IO involve how they are accounted for once received.

legal opinions followed by a disclaimer saying you aren't a lawyer is to

I take it you aren't aware of the legal disclaimers required, by both
lawyers, and non-lawyers, when it comes to relaying information about
the law.

Why would it not be legally possible to accept donations nation-wide?

I'm currently using a test group to check out groups.io with a view to migrating our yahoo group later this year.?
I love the Facebook integration feature. Once a month we give our members very short notice as to whether or not a weather-dependent event is going ahead or not. I would love it if rather than having to post this news on both Facebook and our newsgroup pages, I could just post it on Facebook and the newsgroup would be automatically updated within say 10 minutes.
I gather that the Facebook page update cycle is presently twice an hour. Is there any way that we could a feature to allow newsgroup owners to configure these updates to happen more frequently?
Thanks

That might be what is happening here.
