Regarding the last sentence:? You won't be able to use the group's Conversations section to post a New Topic or Reply, but you will still be able to post or reply to the group from your email interface. Hint: be sure your membership is set to receive Individual Emails.

Hi. You could use the ¡°pending subscription¡± notice as a way to do it.
Thanks.

Hi, I'm not exactly how to phrase this question, so I hope I can make it clear.
I want to move a yahoo group (doesn't everybody, now?)? We actually looked at moving a while ago, but could not find a feature we depend on, namely, the ability to vet an application for entry.? ?We ask people who would like to join to share a sentence or two
about what qualifies them to join us.? We are a support group where sensitive things are shared and don't really want looky-loos or researchers, and while we can't be sure they are not lying, our experience is that asking people to state their qualifications
tends to keep out a lot of the riff-raff.
On Yahoo, that statement appears next to the applicant's name on a page available to all moderators, so it's a simple matter of checking the approve button if the statement passes muster, or sending a followup email if the person failed to provide any info
or if they say something like "I'm a student of this thing"
I manage a neighborhood list here on Groups.io, and have seen that all I get is a notification email that somebody wants in, there doesn't seem to be a place for them to put anything but their email.? I wind up blindly approving new folks there, as we are hardly
a magnet for anybody not in the neighborhood.
Is there a way we can do this sort of vetting on Groups.io?

Yes; set up a Pending Subscription Message; this will automatically be sent to anyone who applies to join, and you can ask them to explain their interest in your group and admit them (or otherwise) depending on their reply. Chris

Email messages/posts will 'pass-through' but NOT be saved/stored nor able to be read 'on-site' (as some of us preferred, who used email only as a backup or as email search is sometimes better the YahOop's searches.)
Digests will not exist, so if you are in 12 lists that generate 12 emails daily you might want rmto create 12 Folders in your email to separate them.
BillSF9c I am confused, but maybe someone here can clarify.? What content will exist if all user-generated content is deleted? Emails are user generated. I understand that all downloads are going away - photos, links, attachments, files, etc., but will conversations also be gone? If they are being deleted, then what does "the ability to post and receive by email" mean? Will we be able to post to the site, but then, after some specific amount of time, the posts will disappear?

Pretty much nothing. See?

No, you will not be able to post to the site. You *will* be able to post to the group via email and receive group messages via email.?On the web, group owners will have access to limited administrative functions. The only web functions remaining for subscribers will be associated with searching for available groups and maintaining their group subscriptions. Regards, Bruce

Su -- My experience suggests that locking overrides moderating...meaning that if the topic is locked, incoming posts on that topic get waylaid by the lock before they ever land in moderation.
Also, regarding how to handle this type of thing in the future. If I change the topic to reply to sender, will replies to the original email go to the group or to the sender?
It depends. Replies entered via the web interface should respect the change. However, there is no way to retrieve sent emails and change the reply-to fields...so replies people send via their email client will be routed according to the original header content. Hope this helps, Bruce

We have a group for Transfer but have a crippling issue; Only 1.Moderator remains and he cannot make the io.transfer (name?) also a Moderator.

I believe content "ownership" still gets assigned correctly, though.
It might do now but it certainly didn't when "we" migrated at the end of 2017. I "lost" ownership of material I had uploaded on to the Yahoo group because at the request of the ultimate owner I had signed up to the new Groups.io group prior to the migration. Chris

YahooGroups to groups.io > should have done it sooner!
#transfer
Hi everyone, For the most part our migration from Yahoo Groups to groups.io has been seamless.? We had about 1,000 members on YG. I've made some errors ... :p ... but it's a breath of fresh air to have software that rocks:??
- Hyperlinked?Table of Contents - you bet!
- HTML? - check
- Inline images? - damn right!
- Attachments? - mais oui (French for:??but of course!)
I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool to have per Group, a funding thermometer to collect donations.? In the end, I will probably end up with 700 members.? If our Group's goal was a measly 10 USD, we could raise 120 USD a year.? 120 USD is more than zero (Basic)! Thx! -pablo

Re: Transferring Small Yahoo Groups
The files and photos definitely aren't gone. I've been downloading all afternoon. That said, the files are much easier to access than the photos. I get errors frequently when trying to download photos. I expect Yahoo is a bit overwhelmed at the demand right now, since so many of us are doing the same thing.?

Re: Yahoo Files and Photos
?
does anyone know if the files and photos are gone on the Yahoo side.?
I don't think they are actually gone from Yahoo's servers, yet, simply inaccessible. That's based on prior similar incidents where Y!GMF members reported their photos missing, but they later returned. This has happened several times over the last few years for some groups.
?
I have signed up for a migration just wandered if I just spent $110 for nothing.
If they don't come through in your first transfer attempt, but you see them return to your Yahoo Group, you can try another transfer, selecting only the Photos (or Files). The fly in the ointment is the limited time span before they are actually removed - there's no way to guess whether Yahoo will fix them first.

I also disabled nomail on my new list but see the nomails were switched to special.
If people prefer to read their messages online, I believe it it best to respect that; forcing them to receive unwanted emails will only chase them away. However, it's nice to be able to contact everyone if unusual circumstances (like this one) arise. The "Special Notices" option provides that functionality, and is the default if a "no email" person is transferred into a groups.io group that does not permit the "no email" message delivery option.

Browser crash when uploading a file
I have reported this to support and am waiting a reply.
But thought maybe someone here might have some additional insight.
When we upload a binary file to our forum's Files section, Chrome crashes with the "Aw, snap" message and some of the file's header text shown in a thumbnail.
Firefox just locks up completely on the "Upload File" screen when we upload it.
This is a binary file (in the astronomy FITS format).? The site is apparently noticing the file's text header and trying to show a thumbnail.?
We are not using any File storage, so our quota isn't exceeded.? And, the file is just 16 MB, which from what I've read shouldn't be a problem.
Here's a sample file that shows the problem:?.?
Is there a way to turn off File and Photo previews?
Any other suggestions?
Admins should feel free to delete this post if it's too user-specific.
TIA
