Re: Newly Transferred Members Accessing the Group's Site
Thanks, Shal! Something was going on with the e-mail receipt but it worked today and I've got the process now worked out so I can describe it to my members. Thanks so much for confirming that I was on the right track!

Re: When exactly do notifications go out to members that they've been transferred?
Dave D., Do email notifications go out to members when their profile has been
transferred, or only after the entire transfer process of the whole
group is complete? It used to go out as each member copied, now they go out at completion. Shal -- Help: /static/helpMore Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wikiEven More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list

My current status (unrelated to Mark's above). I think my export from Yahoo happened overnight (Sat26 into Sunday27).

approving members and subgroup/naming question
I have my group settings as: Restricted Membership Members require approval before being allowed to join the group. Announcement Group Only moderators are allowed to post. Moderated All messages require approval before being sent to the group. New Users Moderated Messages from new subscribers require approval. And there is a message to be sent to members upon applying (to ask who they are, etc). Which is "Active". A member just applied to join using the?+subscribe command She got the request, replied to it I got the request as mod She then got the application form but ALSO got a "Thank you for joining " email. She shows as pending on the member list.?
So: 1) how is it that she is showing as pending AND got the email saying she has joined? 2) how do I prevent people from joining before we can vet them?
ALSO - I created a subgroup then we decided we didn't need it so deleted it today. Will the name of the group go back to " [email protected]" instead of " [email protected]"? Hasn't happened yet, will it reset itself on its own?
Thank you!? Sally

Re: groups.io - language selection
It would take time and effort but you could use the WIKI pages in your IO Group to write tuturials in German, including screen shot captures of the screens with Germain language markups.?
It seems the most important things in English would be IO registration (email verification), accepting the group invitation and unsubscribing.?
If you membership is small enough, personally known to you or have friends/family to assist that may be doable.?
Once in your group, they can read the posts written in German.?
I had a lady from Italy join an "English language" IO group I am in last week. She introduced herself and said she was surprised to see IO in "Italian". I don't know what interface she was using, but obviously something translated our English into the Italian lanuague. Her post displayed in "broken (but highly readble) English" an obvious sign that she wrote her post in Italian while I read it in English.?
When I lived in Japan, I often used translation software while surfing. So there are a few options even for those you don't read English.?

Does "Expedite for $200" include subgroups
I'm transferring a main group and a few subgroups from Yahoo! to Groups.io. All of them are now in process, although only the main group is far enough along to display where it is in the queue: "Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io. There are about 337 groups ahead of it in the queue. [Step 3 of 4]." That number goes up about as often as it goes down, due to people paying the $200 fee to expedite the transfer. I'm considering doing that myself.
The "Expedite for $200" option was not available when I started the transfers last week, but the button is now there for the subgroups as well as the main group. Has anyone who is transferring subgroups along with a main group successfully expedited the transfer(s) after the process is under way? If so, can you tell if the subgroups got the benefit of expediting the main group?

Groups.io to become moderator for yahoogroup
Our Yahoogroup has been glitching for some time including trying to add new members.? In order to transfer our files, databases and members, I need to make Groups.io join our Yayoogroup, then be made moderator for the data transfer.? I sent the e-vite mail over a week ago but Groups.io hasn't responded which probably means Yahoogroup did not let the invitation to join go through. The only way we've been able to make this work is by sending an email for the person to subscribe.
Who or where can I get Groups.io to go this route so we can transfer the data?? Thank you in advance!

Are the two groups I manage still free?
Hi
I manage two groups and hope we are small enough to remain free.? One group has 85 people and the other is currently 20.
If I have not received any notices, are we able to continue as we have been?
Thank you for your help

I wrote and Mark did it again.? Same thing until I got up this morning? LOL? overnight the messages changes to? 197000 and everything worked!? This takes a lot of patience.? LOL? I think I totally turned fray this week.? Haha Good luck ¨C oh, I also found out they are only indexing everything once per night.? That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t see anything new until this morning. Suz ?

Re: Only moderators can use hashtags?
On Sun, Oct 27, 2019 at 01:40 PM, I wrote:
Having set it out fairly comprehensively
...but not comprehensively enough, because I did not check behaviour when posts are submitted by email. Woe is me. If a Special hashtag is applied to a message sent by email (by a member, not a moderator) then the email is bounced and the originator is provided with a link to a page where they can edit the message, i.e. remove the offending hashtag. However, to edit the message the member has to log in. If the Special hashtag also has Moderated checked then the message is accepted and presented for moderation as described previously. Now I think it's fairly comprehensive! Chris PS: Is this of sufficient value to include in the Hashtags section of the GMF wiki?

When I resend an invitation from the "Sent Invitations" list is the original message re-sent?

Seems to me it is very dangerous to have only one owner of any group.? If that person dies suddenly, there is nobody left who can do some important things.? I've seen that in Yahoo groups and also in groups.io.? At least it is possible to get help in groups.io which it never was in Yahoo.
I was a member of a yahoo group that lost its only owner and then no new members could be approved or taken off moderation.? In the end someone had to set up a completely new group.? When I wanted to transfer the Yahoo group belonging to our local astronomical society, I found that the corresponding group in groups.io existed because a member, who had since died, had created it just in case.? After contacting Mark and explaining the issue, he made me the owner so that we could move our group over.
The pending death of Yahoo groups is evidently giving the owners of groups.io an enormous amount of work to do, so it isn't surprising that things are taking time.? This is reflected in the activity of this group.? I had 162 messages downloaded overnight last night.? I can't hope to read them all, but a huge Thank You to all those helpful people who answer all those questions.? This is the most helpful group I know.

When exactly do notifications go out to members that they've been transferred?
Sorry, I couldn't find this anywhere. Do email notifications go out to members when their profile has been transferred, or only after the entire transfer process of the whole group is complete? Thanks.

Re: Narrow formatting in Digests?
Phil Smith III <lists@...> wrote: I¡¯ve attached a Digest, sent to list and to you directly, Bruce,

It looks like the formatting design is contained in the HTML code, to fit nicely under the Groups IO graphic, which will be a fixed size. It's not difficult to change this, but it's something Groups IO codewriters will have to do. A post in [email protected] would probably be more productive (or at least, more likely to be seen by the right people). I have not tried plaintext Digest, but I assume it wouldn¡¯t be
formatted narrow, since it won¡¯t be formatted at all. You assume correctly. If a post isn't formatted by the sender, it won't be formatted anywhere else until it reaches the reader. -- rgds LAurence <><
