Re: Multiple addresses for members?
Chris,
You cannot, as moderator, but they can set an Email Alias in their Account settings. Tell them to go to their Account page and open up the Advanced Settings For Email Aliases section on that page. The Email Alias address will not show up with its own entry in your Members list, nor will it receive any notices or email from the group. But if the member uses an Email Alias address to post to the group that message will be handled as a message from that member (same as if they sent from their subscription address).

Invitation questions
I sent an invitation to a new free email address of mine. This is the Invitation message it received:
| Subject: Invitation to join the <groupname>@groups.io email group Shouldn't this be "<groupname>.groups.io"? (and again in the message body)? Message body: | Hello <emailaddress>@outlook.com, | | You have been invited by <me> to join the Groups.io group <groupname>@groups.io. | | The following message was included by <me>: | | <my custom message> | | If you have questions about this invitation, send them to <groupname>[email protected]. | | To accept the invitation, please reply to this email, or you may accept the invitation on the website. | | If you are not interested, or if <emailaddress>@outlook.com is not your email address, please ignore this email. | | Cheers, | The Groups.io Team "accept the invitation" was a clickable link to the <groupname>.groups.io website which make sense, however at the bottom of the Invitation there were 3 confusing and unexplained 'buttons': "Thank you for the invite." , "Thank you for the invitation." , and "Can you please add me?" What are these 3 unexplained 'buttons', what is the difference between them, and where do they go? |

Multiple addresses for members?
I have several group members who use >1 email address, and the one they signed up with is not the default their email uses to send. Is there any mechanism by which I can associate multiple email addresses with their membership? Chris R. ====== Not to be taken literally, internally, or seriously. Twitter: |

Re: bouncing
I hope this replies to the group. It was confusing h ow to do that.
I wanted to just say I had to unsub them and then sub them again. It seemed it was att and a server called hughes. You are right if you are bouncing then you are not getting the letter and the link on how to unbounce. Anita? |

Re: Is there a manual method of Migrating Messages from Yahoo Groups

I just finished migrating our group to Groups.io and NOT A SINGLE message was migrated. This kind of defeats the point.Yes, it does. Are you sure the transfer is actually done? If you haven't yet received a completion email, then it's probably still working. Also remember that you cannot transfer more than 100,000 messages without paying for a one-year upgrade, so you might want to check on that. Is there a way to manually migrate messages over. Or is there a way to get to try again?Yes...you can start a new transfer to retrieve those areas that were left behind, but you will first have to delete the existing one.? Go to the transfer page at?/yahootransfer?. Pull down the "In Process" menu and select your group.?On the ensuing page:
Keep in mind that the ability of the transfer agent to move your group content depends on the accessibility of Yahoo's servers. If for some reason you can't get to your Yahoo group content, the agent won't be able to, either. ? Good luck! Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

By default, subscribers will be displayed in inverse order by join date. Click any of the column headers to change sort order, and click on the next/previous buttons ( < > ) to page through. You can also use the Search box at upper right. Enter part of the email address and click on the Search button. This is a substring search, so partial matches should work. ?

I just wanted to know if something is going on that is making them bounce like this. It is hard to explain to this older members how to unbounce themselves.To clear bouncing status with groups.io, subscribers can click on a link in either a bounce probe, or in the banner that shows up when they log on. Be advised that this does nothing to resolve the underlying problem. Bouncing can have many origins, including a full mailbox, mail servers that occasionally act up, or providers that throttle back on message delivery. There is a great deal of information on this in the system help at /static/help#bouncing....but in my experience sharing it with your subscribers will only confuse them further. As for what's actually going on with your subscribers at the moment, open their member record[s], click the Email Delivery History button, and tell us what you find. If they are all from cox.net, that seems to be a persistent problem with that provider right now. Regards, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

did he say when this was done?First change was on Wednesday, then tweaked yesterday.? The description area is now almost all the way across the banner for me.?

I've contacted the posters and asked them to cut down the description some.? BTW, these are continuous lines.? Not sure what happens if there are several short lines used.

Re: Photo Albums
I got a reply from Mark yesterday and the available text area has been expanded.? Through some testing, it appears that about 800-1000 characters (5 lines) can be made visible, depending on the size of the monitor, so one of mine still doesn't fit.? My group is plain text, so not sure if it would be the same for groups that allow html.? I suggested that he limit the amount of text that can be entered, but that may be down the road, if at all.

Re: bouncing
I noticed yesterday that a lot of pacbell, att, bellsouth, and sbcglobal addresses were bouncing, all with some variation of the "550 5.2.1 <email address>... Addressee unknown, relay=[66.175.222.12]"? Today they seem to be starting to get through.? There are still a few cox addresses that intermittently bounce.? Hopefully it will all sort itself out.
