a member of our group says " I cannot pull up pictures that people send(img) it tells me I am not subscribed to the group with this email address".Ullman -- The error message itself is a pretty big clue. The subscriber may be logged in, but the email address he is logged in with is not the one that's subscribed to your group. Have the subscriber look at a group message. In the message footer, at bottom right, there will be an email address in square brackets [like this]. If he logs out, then logs back in using that email address, then he should be able to see the photos. See also?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Group-Content-Is-Missing Regards, Bruce |

Re: Starting off with a Basic account
#howto
For your first question, yes, you can just pay for 1 month of premium.
See #8 Moving members in: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-YahooGroups For your second question, you can move messages yourself. If you don't have many, I guess you could forward them from YG. Or download them and save them outside Groups.io. Possibly you could upload them in some format in Files (say, as a PDF).

Starting off with a Basic account
#howto
[If these questions have been answered already please forgive my asking again; I searched but didn't locate them, specifically.]
For those Ygroups with a relatively few members, say 200 or fewer, would setting up a Basic IO.group first, then upgrading it to Premium for one month be permissible if one were wanting to manually direct-add the members 20 at a time? And in the event that a particular group only has a few hundred messages (e.g., 4- or 500) would they be able to manually move the messages a batch at a time while their one-month Premium upgrade is still active? Or does moving messages over ¨Ceven manually DIY¨C require a Premium account for one year? Just curious . . . . Paul M. CostaRicaLiving https: //groups.io/g/CostaRicaLiving == |

Re: Account [for upgrading to a premium group]
Susan,
But I don't do it until transfer is set up,You upgrade before starting the transfer. Stay Calm Don't Panic Just Read the Instructions (print them out if needed). ... and any other calming, reassuring phrases I can think of. Take it step by step and you'll do fine. Lots of hints from other users and step-by-step instructions: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups The official step-by-step instructions: /yahootransfer Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: Account [for upgrading to a premium group]
You must pay ahead of time or your site won't be moved.
2. How do I move my messages, photos, etc. to Groups.io?
You must subscribe to Premium for 1 year and use the Transfer Agent if you want the Groups.io transfer agent to move your Yahoo group for you.
?
3. How much does it cost for a premium account?
The cost is $110 USD per year for a Premium account. This allows you to use the groups.io transfer agent. You can change back to Basic after the year if you wish.
FAQ on Moving from YahooGroupsSource: And in /yahootransfer Premium Group Required
For the transfer, we ask that you sign up for the Premium Yearly plan (you can downgrade to free after a year if you wish).
?
Steps To Transfer Your Group
These steps must be done in this order otherwise the group transfer process will not happen.
Create your new Groups.io group and upgrade it to premium for a year.

Laura, I don't know of anyway to put emails in a folder or organize by subject.
All messages are kept on the site in the Messages archive so they remain available. This is a bonus for committee work. There is a search engine as well. The only way to easily organize them is by hashtags. As owner, you can preset some hashtags so that members can't create new ones.?I tend to tidy up and add hashtags after the fact because you can actually find posts through the hashtags. And I merge messages after the "conversation" is over for future reference. Easy to do. You could copy and paste some important posts in the wiki. There are files and databases. I use files for important documents - upload them.? And of course, you can create subgroups to focus discussions a bit.

Re: Question about fees
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýBefore I transferred my group in 2018, I briefly thought about the money I was going to have to pay out of my own pocket. Yahoo had spoiled the owners of groups by offering large amounts of storage, and decent functionality for free. Then the Neo upgrade came along, and it was downhill from there for Yahoo Groups. When I finally came to the conclusion the Yahoo Groups platform was falling apart, and worried I could lose my group altogether, the only thing that was important to me was finding another place I could move my group too. It had to be someplace that offered what I had gotten to need on Yahoo, like archived posts, databases, photo albums, etc., but I didn¡¯t find that to be an easy task. After I found out about Groups.io, and what it offered, I jumped on moving my group almost immediately. I knew I was going to be paying $10.00 a month for what I got for free before, but I realized those days of free are gone, and if I want to save my group from a certain demise I needed to pay. Thinking about the $10.00 per month I was going to be paying out, it hit me I can spend that much money easily going out for coffee in a week, and that surely would never break the bank for me. I thought myself what is more important to me, saving the group or coffee. It was a no brainer for me, the group won out. Members have offered to pay me to offset my personal costs, but I don¡¯t really need the help, and I enjoy my group¡It¡¯s like a hobby. Now, if I was paying $200.00 per month for the Enterprise plan that would be a much different matter. ? Don ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of rich hurd ? I¡¯m debating about the donation thing. I funded our 4700-member-strong group (in existence for 10 years) out of my own pocket and people are randomly sending me PayPal payments to offset it. I also have a single nonprofit that has said that his group would bankroll the whole thing going forward.? I figure I¡¯ll let the dust of the transfer settle and then I have a year to make up my mind what to do next.? ? On Sat, Oct 19, 2019 at 15:15 Frances <frances@...> wrote:

Re: Account [for upgrading to a premium group]
Susan,
When you have an account, do you put your credit card information inNot in your account. You enter your CC info when you upgrade the target group (to Premium Yearly). Each Groups.io group must be upgraded separately, paying its own fee. See the Upgrade page (in the Admin list for the group) and click on the View/Change Plan button.

Re: Problem replying in Thunderbird using message footer link

The footer is just a Mailto: link that fills in the address and subject.? You'd need to use the reply function within TB to do what you want.? A quick way to do that is highlight what you're responding to before clicking Reply.Thanks for the useful comments, Duane. I see now that the Groups.io "Reply to" links in the message footer do what they're supposed to do. The bug in TB 60.x is a separate issue and it's not really a problem given the other Reply features that are available. I regularly use that trick of highlighting the text that I want included in my reply, but sometimes the text needs major surgery and that's when I start with the whole message in my reply and then pare it down to the bare bones.
