Doug,

1. Is it correct we could import exiting Yahoo groups into this site
to get started.

Yes. You can simply start a group here and invite your former YG members to join it. You would have to re-upload any other content that you wish to copy from your YG.

Or (for a fee) you can use the Easy Group Transfer. See:
/static/transfer
and GMF's notes:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

Note that the Easy Group Transfer doesn't actually create the new group for you - you set up your Groups.io group first and then start the transfer when you're ready.

2. Can someone added by step 1 to this group opt out at anytime?

Yes.

They'll receive a notification during the transfer, and the notice will have an opt-out link.

3. As we collect more members/guest email address and add them to
this group can they opt out if desired?

Members can unsubscribe at any time, by email or by web.

If yours is a Basic (free) Groups.io group you can only Invite people to join. To Direct Add them you must upgrade to a Premium group.

Someone said today "You use Yahoo Groups, that's so 1980s", I said
maybe more like '1990s'.

Heh. Yup, that's why Groups.io exists.

#1, yes, you can, if you pay for a premium group for one year.
Otherwise, you don't get to transfer the group messages, pictures,
etc. If you do it yourself, you will have to transfer everything
manually. I don't know how you could export/import your messages but I
know how to archive them using PG Offline. I just don't know how to
convert them to a useful format to upload into GIO. If you had done
this before February of this year, group transfers were free.

#2, yes, they can. In fact, some will do so, especially if they are
against the move. And some will ask that you don't transfer their
messages as it is their personal information. Most won't give you any
trouble and will just opt-out if they don't want to be part of the new
group.

#3, you won't be adding people against their will, will you? That
could get you into some trouble. I assume that you'd get their
permission and send out an invitation rather than do a direct add. I
believe you have to have a premium group anyway to do a direct add,
otherwise you only can invite people to join.

If it is not marked 'PTU' or 'Do Not Share,' there is no way to know that it is a 'Pay To Use' item.

The best approach is to request permission first before sharing. It
might seem like too much trouble, but it can prevent issues like this
from happening.

That said, I know of many groups that copy/paste things from various
web sites and post them, or paste them into a document and put them in
the files section. They should request permission first even for
those, but they get away with it. While it's not videos, some of it is
copyrighted material and they might get takedown notices at some point
in the future, especially if the message archives are viewable by
non-members.

Could the person join someone's premium group just to do that,
assuming that the owner is willing to help?

Or maybe Mark can change the address?

Charlie,

They no longer have access to their old email account, and they have
never signed in to the GIO website (and hence no saved authentication
cookie).

Nor a password to log in with, if they never set one up.

... is there any way they can change the email address associated
with their GIO account?

Not if they can't log in to Groups.io, nor receive any messages sent to the old address. To log in you need one or the other: a password in your Groups.io account or access to your email inbox.

Assume that at least one of the groups to which they are subscribed is
a free (non-premium) group.

As Bruce mentioned, the more useful question is whether he/she is subscribed to one or more Premium groups. If so a premium group owner/mod can change the email address for him/her. That will switch all of his/her subscriptions to the new address.

You need to read the site Terms of Service, as you should have before creating your group.? Specifically, the User Conduct section under Conditions of Use.

Account information cannot be changed without logging in. However, it is not necessary to have an active cookie. If the person has set an account password, (s)he should be able to log in even without access to his/her old email address. Just enter the old address and password in the login page (/login), followed by clicking on the blue "Change Email" button.

The better question to ask is whether the person involved IS subscribed to a Premium group. If so, a group Owner (or Moderator with the "Set Member Subscription Options" permission) should be able to edit the email address (see?/static/pricing).

As you might imagine, those who do own Premium groups must use this feature with discretion.

What happens to abandoned GIO accounts (not subscribed to any group)?? Are they removed after a certain period of inactivity?

I'm pretty sure that unused accounts just hang around in limbo, as there is no way for groups.io to tell objectively whether they are really defunct, or simply not subscribed to anything. Perhaps this very old message in beta will provide more insight (), but only Mark knows for sure.

Bruce?

The system Help is your friend.??/static/help

I have a subscriber who changed email providers and then realized they had neglected to change the address associated with their GIO account.? They no longer have access to their old email account, and they have never signed in to the GIO website (and hence no saved authentication cookie).

Two questions (my apologies for asking something that has been answered before, but my searches have been unfruitful):

Other than resubscribing to their GIO group(s) with their new email address, is there any way they can change the email address associated with their GIO account?? Assume that at least one of the groups to which they are subscribed is a free (non-premium) group.

Thanks.

Why is my group being removed?

Please read below to see what l wrote back.

Why can't I fight it before they remove it?

It seems unfair and one sided.

Thankyou all for the very helpful comments - I am now more aware of some of the features available.

I think what I was wanting to address is actually outside of the main system.? It is the reject message sent when a non subscriber tries to post a topic via email.

Example reject message:
(highlighted text should ideally be removed/changed)

If you're an owner or sufficient level moderator go to your group/Admin/Integrations
The first option is for an email input (integration) point and then Facebook, etc follow further down the page.
As you? set up the email point, you will receive an email address that you can send to
BUT, each message sent to that point is automatically moderated and must be individually approved

[mod note: Moderation is optional when you create or edit an Email Integration.]

Hi everyone,

On the webpage of groups.io I have found the information, that it is possible to create a receive-only email address that posts to a group.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance. Best,
Linda

There is no "Invitation Only" group setting.

However the work around is:
Admin-> Settings: scroll down to:
"Privacy-> Visibility": set to: "Group not listed in Directory, private messages"
"Spam Control": check "Restricted Membership" (Members require approval before being allowed to join the group.)
Scoll to bottom of page and click on "Update Group"

In Admin-> Settings: click on "Member Notice"
create a "Pending Subscription" notice that says:
"This is an invitation only group"
or
"This is an invitation only group - DO NOT TRY TO JOIN IT"
You could also say:
"send an email to: <[email protected]> and tell us why you want to be invited"
or
"reply to this message and tell us why you want to be invited"
Scoll to bottom of page and click on "Add Notice"

If you ignore subscription / "Join Group" requests they expire in 14 days.


Additionally to 'help' each Owner or Moderator ignore subscription / "Join Group" requests:
Admin-> Members
use the Members drop down menu to select Moderators
click anywhere on each Owner or Moderator's row (do not check the box)
scroll to "Notifications"
and be sure the box is unchecked for "Email when there are members needing approval."
Scoll to bottom of page and click on "Save"

When a non-group members tries to send an email to the group it is rejected (correctly) but the rejection email contains a couple of links/emails saying theses can be used to join the group.

If it were my group, I wouldn't have it listed in the Groups.io directory.? That would minimize the chances of anyone finding it, so there should be little to deal with.? You could also have a (nicely worded) rejection notice for the few, if any, that manage to get into the pending list.

BTW, no one from Groups.io management is on this group.? To make a suggestion for the site, you need to join beta, the official suggestion box group.? There have been threads there in the past about invitation only groups.? You could join in one of those, if they're not locked, or start one of your own.

My thanks to all who have responded - time to consider!

Thanks Judy - yes we can stop non members from posting, but they receive an email saying their message has been rejected and, in that email, there is information telling them what to do in order to become a member.? It is the use of these links that cause further work as the non member becomes a pending member awaiting authorisation and we have to delete them.

It would be better for the rejection email to not contain these links.

Tony

In the normal course of events a Subscriber sets or edits their own Display Name, and of course any such action appears in the Activity Log.

Very occasionally a Moderator may have to intervene and set / edit the Display Name on the Subscriber's behalf; the reasons for this do not need to be described here.

However, a Moderator setting or editing someone else's D/N does not appear in the activity log, or if it does I have been unable to find the search heading for it. It certainly does not appear under Changed Display Name or Moderator Changed.

The question is... should it?

Chris

When a new file is uploaded we are given the option of sending a notice to
members, but not when an existing file is updated. Can anyone see a reason why
this option should not also be available (as a separate option)? It would be
very useful on one of my groups, where updates to existing files are much more
frequent than uploading new ones. If no one here can see an objection, I'll
raise it on Beta.
