One member of my group cannot send an email. She says that when she hits "reply all" she gets a message that "it isn't valid." What should I do next? Thank you for all your help. I truly appreciate it. Paula |

Re: Shopping for online group to replace club's current Yahoo groups

Doug,
1. Is it correct we could import exiting Yahoo groups into this siteYes. 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 toMembers 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. /static/pricing Someone said today "You use Yahoo Groups, that's so 1980s", I saidHeh. Yup, that's why Groups.io exists.

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.

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.

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 isAs 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.

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.

What happens to inactive GIO accounts
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).

I am not sure why I am being removed.
Below is my footer on each share.
If I have shared a scrap kit or tube accidentally that is 'PTU' or 'Do Not Share,' please email me at erotoo1@... and let me know the cost. I will be glad to pay for same. If it is not marked 'PTU' or 'Do Not Share,' there is no way to know that it is a 'Pay To Use' item.
Hello,
We have continued to receive several DMCA takedown notice copyright complaints against messages in your group. As we warned one month ago, we will be disabling your group because of this. The group will be disabled in 24 hours.
Attached is one of several DMCA notices we've received recently.

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) This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: [email protected] host lb01.groups.io [45.79.81.153] SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: 510 5.1.1 Your email address, xxxxxxxxxx.co.uk, is not subscribed to that group.

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.
