Re: The impossibility of transplanting multiple yahoo groups #askmembers #yahoo #upgrade #transfer

 

To avoid the fee, you can create a new io group and do the "transfer" yourself,
inviting members to join or else just sending a message with instructions on how to join.
Users can ask to subscribe on the web site? /g/[yourgroupname]
or by sending an email to [yourgroupname][email protected]

Re: NoMail setting not right in Description

 

Group Settings - the first four have cute icons, but the last three have a circle with a slash, which I assume is can't be done.
It's true that Members cannot edit their messages, so the slash-in-circle is correct, but the other two are not right.
It is TRUE that archives are visible to subscribers only
and it is TRUE that members can set subscription to NoMail.
  • All subscribers can post to the group.
  • Posts to this group require approval from the moderators.
  • Messages are set to reply to group.
  • Subscriptions to this group do not require approval from the moderators.
  • Archives are visible to subscribers only.
  • Members can edit their messages.
  • Members can set their subscriptions to no email.

Thanks Bruce and others for the quick reply.? I've let the group know and made the setting changes.? Looking forward to a seamless transfer in the coming days / weeks.

Sarah -- Say what? That's a lot of negatives. I really cannot tell what you did.

When I leave the "Disable No Email" box unchecked (meaning "no email" is enabled), it says this: "Members can set their subscriptions to no email." So far, so good.
When I go back and check the box (and click Update Group), the home page says nothing about this.

So I have been unable to get the home page description to say what you said it said. Can you send us a screenshot?

Members should be able to access Files without having to receive messages.
If you leave the box UNchecked, and they do choose to set their individual subscription to "No Email," then members should indeed be able to do this, assuming Files>Permissions is set correctly.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
NoMail setting not right in Description

 

In anticipation of moving a Yahoogroup to io, I established a new io group. In Settings, I did not check that NoMail is not permitted, but the Group Description says that NoMail cannot be selected.? Yes, it can!? What might I have done wrong?? Members should be able to access Files without having to receive messages.

Highly unlikely.? This price setup has existed since February, so it wouldn't be fair to those that paid since then.? Before that it was only paid if you wanted more than 100,000 messages transferred.? And before that, everything was free.? You could always contact [email protected] to ask about it, but with all that's going on, it may take awhile to get an answer, if any.

To the best of my knowledge, it is.? I don't believe anyone has reported doing this recently though.

The impossibility of transplanting multiple yahoo groups #askmembers #yahoo #upgrade #transfer

 

So, as the title suggest I have a fair number of groups that I'd ideally love to save the history of. However it appears that at US$110 (so rather more for this poor Australian) per group that's never going to happen.

It seems particularly unfair that in the face of this Armageddon I'd be staring bankruptcy in the face just because until the Yahoo announcement came down I'd never heard of groups.io (and thus completely missed the ability to conduct the shift for free). Is there any chance of groups.io having some sort of mercy here, even if if it's changing the basis of cost from per group to some sort of fair-go premium user account?

How did you request the backup?

Transferring old "Fookes software" Y-groups (NoteTab et all) #transfer #subgroups

AL Guevara
 

Trying to verify if a single paid $110 "Group" in Groups.io is allowed to use "Easy Yahoo Group Transfer" to transfer multiple "Yahoo! Groups" to sub-groups of the single "Group" in Groups.io.?
?
We are looking at having the main "NoteTab" group (in Groups.io) that then has sub-groups such as "General", "Clips", "HTML" and so forth.?
?
We found the following discussion from Groups.io from 2016 that would seem to verify this is possible if nothing has changed since then:?
?
?
Is this still possible at $110?
?
Best Regards

Thanks. Will look into it. Hopefully they have another payment option.

Mick -- As was clearly stated, you have to select the completed transfer from the "Existing Transfers" menu. There is no way for to know which transfer to delete if you don't select one.

Natalie or anyone else if you want to still keep the yahoo group and not get mail there you can do that. I did.

There are settings where the only mail activity is from the owner.? It is under management and settings. Then there is no mail unless you write something and no one will see it but you.

Re: How To Make i.o. Cover Photo Banner Sized

 


Success. I found a photo with an already relatively narrow subject and then cropped it to be as short vertically and wide horizontally as possible. When I made it my cover photo it worked out perfectly as a banner:? /g/EvanstonPFWatch. Of course, that's not to say that a photo I may want to use in the future will be likewise workable.

Many thanks.
