Does this mean I must upload each picture to the new groups.io group website one picture at a time or is there a way to upload whole folders?

And, do you mean it is not possible to upload files? PG Offline can download files from Yahoo Groups. Once downloaded, how can those files be uploaded to the new groups.io group? One file at a time or in folders?

Has anyone successfully used PF Offline for this function?

To clarify, I have only small groups with picture and file storage well under the 1 GB free limit. With only about 100 members in each group, I will just send invitations to join the new groups.io group using the membership list I exported from the Yahoo Group.

These are important issues for owners with only small groups. Please try to answer fully as I expect there is wide interest.

If you have checked only the "Restricted Membership" checkbox under Spam Control, and you later send someone an invitation, that person can accept the invite and begin posting immediately.?

HOWEVER...they *must* click on the link in the emailed invitation for that to work. If instead of accepting the invitation they click the "Join This Group" button or send a +subscribe message, their subscription will land in Pending, and you'll have to approve them manually.

I hope that made sense.

Apologies for the beginner questions.

That's why we're here!

Rhoda,

If you invite them, then no further approval is needed. Except if your group is unmoderated, you have to select something in Spam Control.

See this about invitations -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Inviting-new-members

See also about Welcome notices, etc. #4.

Thanks Bruce,

Apologies for the beginner questions.

By member supplied content, do you mean the stuff in the group's Files area on the web?

As for "website will remain as will the ability to post and receive by email" I?assume that is with the caveat that "unless they later change their mind about that, too. ;-)

Hi, Bruce,

In your above line, "disable it" refers to disabling?what?!? ?

I actually said, in full:? Every subscriber who was transferred will receive a "transfer success" notification and given the opportunity to opt out of their membership in the new group unless you choose to disable it.

The final "it" means the transfer notification, which is disabled via a checkbox. The subscription setting that a subscriber may have in the Y!G -- "no email" or otherwise -- has absolutely no bearing on whether they receive this notification.

I hope that's more clear.

Bruce

I see the several ways to use third-party software to download pictures and files. Once downloaded, how can these be uploaded to the groups.io groups?

You'd need to do it manually if you're not paying for a transfer.? It can be time consuming and "ownership" of all the items will be in your name.? If the person that originally uploaded a picture is on the new group, you can manually assign ownership to them (if you know who it was.)? There's currently not a similar function for Files.

Alternately, you could take the route of having the users that uploaded the pictures and files in the first place be responsible for transferring their own files. In other words, share the responsibility. By the way, this is also an excellent way to purge storage space.

Are there any resources one can use on one's own web site In connection with groups.io

Initially I'm looking for a suitably sized image I can use on a button which will take people from my own web site to my groups.io group.

Dave -- If you go to Admin>Promote from within your group, there are a few customizable tools to provide a subscription link on your personal web site. Choose the Form Option radio buttons on the left until the Preview looks the way you want it, then copy and paste the HTML below into your site wherever you want the button to appear.

You can also right-click on the (admittedly nondescript) groups.io logo at top left of any page and save a copy to use for your own purposes.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

When groups.io does a Yahoo transfer of members:

Every subscriber who was transferred will receive a "transfer success" notification and given the opportunity to opt out of their membership in the new group unless you choose to disable it. There is a checkbox for this in the transfer menus, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/12241?for details.

The "no email" setting in the Y!G has no effect on this, but whatever setting they had in the Y!G will be retained for regular group messages in the new group unless you disable "no email" in the group settings (look in the Message Policies block).

Hope this helps,

I have 10 years of important email in my yahoo group that i need saved.? I do not care about the cost - I just need to save them in some way.?

If cost is no object, you can have your messages -- and most other accessible Yahoo?Group content -- transferred to your groups.io group in return for a year of Premium ($110). Subscribers are also transferred, maintaining ownership of each message and other group content.

Any attachments to messages will be lost, though.

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/8697?for step-by-step instructions.

I also sent email to tech support asking how to do this.? No replay yet, but it has been less then 24 hours since my email.

I'm sure he is busy doing transfers for his paying customers at the moment. Generally, support redirects routine questions like this to GMF.?

Anyone here know how or where I can get help saving the past yahoo email?? Even if I can not attach it to I/O, I need to save it.

If you are unwilling to pay the $110 for a transfer -- and you have a lot of spare time on your hands -- there are other options to download and save content from Yahoo Groups. Shal has previously mentioned three options in the following post:??/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19204?. I have used PG Offline successfully in the past, and Robert has given detailed instructions on how to use the Chrome browser add-on in?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19222?.

The problem is what to do with the message archive once downloaded; as there is really no good way to re-upload it to groups.io, to re-link individual messages to their owners, or to provide online message search capability. Perhaps the best option is simply to print the collection of old messages to a PDF file; at which point you can upload that to the files area of your group. That will give you something, even if it isn't conveniently indexed and searchable.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Probably followed by a lesser wave of people joining this group and beta, doubtless with a large number of queries in common but all individually sent.

It's not just Groups.io HQ and Mark that are going to be stress tested, it's GMF & beta as well.
