Re: transfer not progressing

 

I'm in the same boat.? I've followed the instructions carefully and attempted the transfer three times.? I'm at the point of entering the?[email protected]??to the yahoogroup, then waiting.? I've done this twice, waiting about 12 hours between attempts.? On the third attempt the yahoo page has given me this message:
What is it that I'm not doing correctly?? Please help.


Invites vs Applying to Join

 

I had a question and couldn't find it easily by searching. ?We sent out a large number of invitations to our organization's members today to start up discussions on groups.io. ?A small number of those invited members with the same email addresses/accounts are instead finding our groups.io page and hitting apply to join. ?I was surprised that it doesn't automatically recognize their email as an invited member. ?Is there a setting I missed in the invites? ?Or is that just how it works?

Thanks!
Linda

Apparently this is now happening to others, /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/39105930, so probably related to their changes.

Harvey -- For Premium groups, you first have to create a Database with a defined column of type "address." After populating the table, users should then be able to toggle between text and map views. Hopefully others can speak to how effective this view might be for addresses outside of the US.?

You don't.? When you create a database with an address field, a map will be automatically linked for that location.? I know that you can choose whether text or map is the default view.? I'm not familiar with the other details though as I have free groups.

Issue with Inviting Transfer Agent to Yahoo #yahoo #transfer

Douglas Park Civic Assn President
 

Hello all,

I'm in the process of trying to transfer an old Yahoo! Group to a new group.io group I've created.? I've read the instructions multiple times and have initiated the process from the groups.io side.? My issue is with the Yahoo side.? I've logged into the Yahoo! group I'm trying to transfer (I have moderator privileges) and have attempted to send an invitation to [email protected].?? However, Yahoo does NOT accept the address and returns the message 'User does not want to be invited'.(see attached screenshot)

Has anyone else encountered this error?? Is there something I'm missing here?? Any suggestions on why this is happening and how to overcome it?

Thanks in advance,

Adam Henderson

DPCA President

This is the first time I've heard of this one.? I wonder if it has something to do with the changes they made today to disable uploads?? Anyone else at the invite stage that can verify?

It depends on what you mean by that.? To have your group creation approved?? To begin a migration?? Something else?? Look over the Detailed Instructions to see if they will help, /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673

#transfer User does not want to be invited #transfer

 

When trying to invite [email protected] to my Yahoo! group, I get the error message "User does not want to be invited.¡± Is this an error on my part?

Thanks


Creating a database map view

 

After searching high and low at groups.io, I'm been unable to find anything on how to create maps.? If someone could point me to instructions or lay out how to do it, I would be most grateful.

Why a map in our case?? [email protected] is a Yahoo refugee group composed mostly of Americans who want to live in France or already do.? A map showing where our members live around the world and France would be nice.

Yes, we are at the Premium level.

It's actually "Create Hashtag," and it's the blue button at the very bottom of the hashtags page.

Is this problem occurring for anyone else? Am I missing some permissions from the admin?
If you are a Moderator (not an Owner), you must be given the "Create/Delete Hashtags" permission to do this.

Re: How long does signup take?

 

Thanks for your quick response Frances, but the answer I'm looking for is just for the initial signup experience.

I'm looking for something like "less than 10 minutes", or "about an hour or so".....I need to know how much time I must alot to spend at the computer for THAT first session.

Tks,
Chuck, CABGx3

Re: How long does signup take?

 

Considerably longer!? The setting up of your group and getting it approved might take a couple of hours.? After you set up the group, you have to invite [email protected] to be a moderator; it took them 3 days to accept my invitation.? Then you are queued up to do the migration. I am number 507 in line, yesterday I was number 519.? So, it's moving quite slowly.? ?I'm thinking 10 days at this rate.? People who pay to have it expedited have reported that it only takes a matter of minutes to migrate after the invitation is accepted.??

Because the functions of Yahoo are going away today, I added my members to the new group and it is up and running.? It's not as smooth as just migrating the whole thing, but it's working and people are using it.? We only have 650 members, so it wasn't such a big task.

Good Luck,
Sarah?

Question about creating hashtags #hashtags

 

Hi all,
According to the Wiki, I should be able to pre-create a hashtag on the "Hashtags" page in the group, by selecting the "Hashtag" section from the side menu and then clicking a "create new hashtag" button. Unfortunately, I do not see a "create new hashtag" button.
Is this problem occurring for anyone else? Am I missing some permissions from the admin?

Thanks in advance,
Roy

Re: How long does signup take?

 

Hi

I am one of the volunteer moderators here at GMF. No staff here!

The time varies for migration, partially depending on YG. You need to sit at your computer! You do have to watch out for making the transfer email address a moderator at your YahooGroup.?
See the FAQ we developed to help. And links to the instructions, the official ones and help we wrote.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups
Pay for premium. Then start the transfer.

There have been posts as well about how many days it is taking.
Of course, you can also pay a bit extra and get expedited. See the FAQ link above.

Sign up though is quick. Set up your group - and your settings.?

Re: Umm... your pay by credit card screen looks very insecure :/

 

This is a user-to-user group.? No one from Groups.io monitors it.? For questions like this you'd need to contact [email protected]

They'll be set to Special.
