Contact via the directory - access to notices query
Hi,
I'm trying to understand the rationale behind this - perhaps someone could explain... When sending an email directly to someone via the Directory, you can select a predefined notice as the message subject and text. On this group for example, there seems to be just one Member Notice defined and that is the group guidelines. So, anyone could send customised versions.of that to someone else (I accept that on this group that would probably be picked up by the moderators first).? On groups without moderation however... If groups owners have gone to the trouble of defining Member Notices for specific events, what is the purpose of allowing anyone to send a private customised version? Andy |

Re: Yahoo transfer
#transfer
Ken,
So I could understand the change as a way to recoup that workingI think this is the correct surmise. The transfer activity already involved at least one manual step (a CAPTCHA to solve). I don't know there were others, or additional time taken by the latest work-around, but Mark has clearly put a lot of time into the transfer capability. I don't begrudge him trying to recoup some of that effort. There's a hint in this direction from the earlier change that required a year's upfront Premium purchase to copy more than 100,000 messages from the Yahoo Group. And I suspect that the transfer feature also is a source of additional support requests generally. Now I don't have any idea if he would come out and explain the issuesNor do I. You could always ask on beta, or through support. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: MSG restoration

Phil,
I have a copy of the orig msg but rather than reposting and have itYou can create a hashtag with the "No Email" box checked. Then repost the message with that hashtag in its subject. The posting will go into the group's Messages section without being emailed to the members. Not quite as handy as a true undelete, but perhaps workable.

Re: Photos - Is it possible to Move Albums to other Albums
Photo albums can only be one layer deep, so no way to have one within another.? There are times when I think that might be useful, but I haven't followed up on making the suggestion in the beta group.

This is terrible news for small groups. I have three Yahoo groups of 10-15 members each waiting to convert from Yahoo to Groups.io. That would now cost us $330, making the conversion cost prohibitive.I can understand why paying $7-10/subscriber might be prohibitive. We are faced with abandoning message histories on Yahoo dating back a number of years, or looking for a solution other than Groups.io.If you can export your message base using PGOffline, you may be able to print it to a PDF and upload that to the target group's files area. It won't be indexed or anything, but would still be searchable using Acrobat Reader. All depends on how often subscribers read past posts, which in my experience they rarely do. ? I'm not aware of any other service that will transfer your message archive for you. You can of course look for other solutions, but it seems to me that this problem will remain.?

My PREMIUM level group was transferred this morning. I purchased the annual PREMIUM package, which is an incredibly small price to pay for the transfer. |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWhy not just export the yahoo grupsstuff to I think it's MBox iles and email them to mark? I did that for a mailman group and everything was seemless, everything but one month, but out of the 15 years, that was not too bad. Take care On 12 Feb 2019, at 8:22, Shal Farley wrote:
