That depends on where you are in the process.?

Go to the transfer page at?/yahootransfer, select the group from the Existing Transfers menu, then click on the big red "Delete Transfer Request" button on the resulting page.

If this button is not present (i.e.: you've already given the go-ahead), you're too late.

Thanks for your advice, Chris. ?Our member numbers stay relatively constant, but a decent proportion of members are added and dropped every year. So a lot of past posts are from former members who will not get transferred. I assume like Duane said that just gets posted with their id/email. I just didn’t want them all looking like I wrote all those messages as a group owner.?

Sorry to add to any confusion. You guys are handling these questions so well, trying to learn as I go.

Is there a way to stop a request, as I want to put the group in a sub-group.

lolol...maybe I'll task group members to do it...
Cheers!

Hello

What is the difference between a display name and a username? Why have both?

Hi Jerry,

My understanding is @user_name is a shorthand reference to a user within Groups.io.? A clever user might set it and from there on out, add it to their signature.? This informs others how to tag them on a message.

Correction to my post:? it seems @user_name is currently a placeholder for future functionality.? ;)

I claimed pablos as pablo was already taken.? If only my parents had the foresight to name me x233? (or some such unique name)

Cheers,

Is there any facility for bulk deleting photo albums with "0" photos??

Not that I'm aware of.

I had to do a second transfer from Yahoo to get photos transferred, and the first try left dummy albums with zero photos.? Since there are over 550 of them I do not want to do it manually...I have a life!

Not anymore, it would seem. :-)

The Display Name is the name you'd like displayed when you post.

I tried to search for information about this, but I couldn't even work out how to!

Hello

I tried to search for information about this, but I couldn't even work out how to! The search facility at my group page only looks for other groups. I eventually found a way to search hashtags but neither of the responses to a #displayname search were about display names .. and like this page, has no search facility otherwise, that I could find.

I am a recent refugee from Yahoo, as I expect many new members/group owners are, and I am already finding it much better than Yahoo .. just a bit confusing!

Yes, there was a "cleansing" by Yahoo some years ago.? If anyone knows the exact date, that might help others to avoid an ulcer. ;>)

A second transfer attempt with only Photos selected has worked.? The only rub is the first attempt had populated the Photos section with empty markers for each photo...which were not deleted when the new ones were loaded.

I'm not going to complain about this at this point, at least the photos did transfer the second time.? I have started a third transfer to get the files over, hopefully that will be as successful!

Thanks guys!

Same to me. I have an old yahoo account, my login isn't an email address, its a name. PG Offline don't work with this.

I had to set up a new account at yahoo, with this account it works like a charm.

I allreaddy made a backup for myself of 5 groups without any issues.

So my panic settle to loose all this stuff...

A fast and stable internetconnection helps for my opinion.

It looks normal to me that some old attachements could not be transfered. But I talk about attachements from 2003 to 2006. This don't hurt me.

I don’t want to have two separate subscribers for one boat. ?Is there a way??

No, each account can only receive messages at one address.? You can have multiple addresses (aliases) for sending replies/messages.

Hey Tim,

Extending what Duane wrote above, if you have users who'd like to have the email sent to additional accounts, have them set up an email rule on their email client (e.g. Outlook, GMail, etc.).? The rule would also forward group.io email to one or more accounts.

Cheers!

Maybe if you give an example of what you mean, we could offer tips.

Anthony -- I have no familiarity with groupspaces, but a list of all accepted groups.io update proposals can be found on the groups.io Trello board at?

When/if these updates could occur is anyone's guess...some have been on this board for years. I do think it's safe to say that nothing like this is going to happen in the next two months.
