Re: Notice of Pricing Change
I can understand your situation, but I think the real bad guy here is Yahoo. Yahoo has caused all this commotion, and Groups.io is trying to offer you a way to keep your group. If there was no place to transfer to like Groups.io you would lose your group anyway, so can I suggest you pass the collection plate around to your membership if you can¡¯t personally afford it, and ask your membership to help you out this time. You would be surprised how many people will offer to chip in, just as I found out last year when I transferred my group. ? Don ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Susan B

They surely knew before this afternoon. I am helping a group with an absentee owner and have to ask Yahoo to make one of us a moderator so we can issue an invite! There is NO time to get that done! We are going to lose our group over this, I¡¯m afraid. Several people offered to donate toward the $110 but we haven¡¯t done anything toward collecting the donations because we wanted to give the owner a chance to respond. If I pay the $110 myself just to get it done, I will lose that money if we can¡¯t send an invite to the transfer agent. |

Members can have an alias to send emails from. There is no email received at the other secondary address. So, unlike Yahoo, in we can send emails from both primary and secondary addresses, but group emails are only delivered to the primary email address. Do I have that right? deborah

Re: "Eligibility to join" pop-up for potential new members
Do you just not want spammers? ? Or is your group hosting content that you would rather keep private? For my part, I just leave them moderated until they post their first message, which is generally an on-topic message if they are ¡°genuine.¡± ? I like the auto-moderation in GIO better than manually doing it.? Going to love it here. If my group ever gets transferred.? LOL ?

"Eligibility to join" pop-up for potential new members
Our Yahoo group confirms eligibility to join our group when a potential new member clicks the join button. A message box pops up asking them to write a few sentences on why they want to join.
We are worried that our new group will not have this function when the join button is clicked. If not, how do we assess the eligibility of these potential new members? Due to time constraints for our volunteers, we hope we don¡¯t have to send each an individual request for information, even if that request is just a copy/paste into a new email addressed to the new person. Is there a workaround for this if no request for eligibility information pops up when the join button is clicked? Is it possible to post a standing message next to the join button telling them they have to email us with their explanation of why they want to join? This is really important to us. Thank you Susan B |

Need a little information for our "welcome to our new home" message that groups.io sends to our members
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI understand that the transfer agent copies all our members over to our group here. In our ¡°we¡¯ve moved!¡± welcome message that ?sends out to our members, is there anything we need to tell them about their first visit to our groups here? Will they have to set up an account here after they get into our new group here? Also, I assume that we just have to include the link to our group here in our welcome message and when they click it they will be taken right into the group here without a password. Do they need to add a password for future visits?I¡¯m sorry I¡¯m so confused about this. Thank you? Susan B |
