Re: Can invitations be sent by a member notice?
#invitation
To clarify, do you mean I can just create a customized member notice instead of using the option of Invitations, and it will work? Folks will be accepted by groyps.io?

Re: #members How do I put select members on Moderated message-posting status?
#members
I have a member on Summary.? What happens when I put that member back on Moderation?

Re: failure to accept invitation AND other YG issues
Well, I¡¯ve finally gotten an
acknowledgement.
?
That likely is the cause of the notice of error
in the below screenshot.

I¡¯ll keep checking as to when it arrives as a
member and make the change to moderator.

Whew.

Thanks.

Well, the plot continues to thicken.

I found it - finally. thank you for replying.? When the transfer joins as a member, I'll put them as moderator, right?? Do you know how long that usually takes before they accept my invite?? This is the weirdest thing ever. And kind of scary putting $220.00 behind it. So stressed out. And I am the soul owner/moderator of my group. I use it as a mailing list only.? I've got over 6,000 subscribers and don't want to lose them. -- ~:*:~:*:~:*:~:*:~:*:~:*:~:*:~:*:~:*:~:*:~:*:~

Now that I can't explain; perhaps someone else can. Curiously, though, when I post on beta the composition window I get lacks those as well. (It may also lack others but not having required them I haven't really noticed.) Chris

Can invitations be sent by a member notice?
#invitation
I send personal invitations. ?I know how to customize the default invite, but there is no way to save it. ?So I was wondering if, instead if using that invitation template, can I use a member notice instead. ?Will that work so the invitee is accepted into the group? ?Thanks for your help.

Searching for NC badges / digest clarification
Is there a way to search for all members in NC status at once?? And is there a way to increase the number of members showing at one time (when viewing the member list) from the 20 at a time now, to more, or infinite scroll preferred? Are attachments included on the digests? Either/or Fully featured and Plain? Assuming not on daily summary - ? I have searched but can't seem to find the answers. Thank you Sally

Re: Not all messages - but message says "transfer complete"

Good work! ?The most recent message is O ct 29???#4632, much closer to the AdcraftOwnerYahoo number.
Thanks, and you can close this thread, along with the same question I sent to Support.

Detailed Instructions on How to Conduct a Yahoo Transfer
Folks -- Appended below please find detailed instructions on how to conduct a transfer using the Easy Group Transfer method. See also the new FAQ at? /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-YahooGroupsTo check status of an ongoing transfer:??/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948Please note that the way you select an existing transfer for further processing has changed. It used to be a pull-down menu, it is now a list of links. I will be re-posting this message periodically for the benefit of all the new people that continue to flood in. My apologies for the inevitable dupes in your email inbox. Regards, Bruce
Here is the process. It is not fully automated and will take several days.? Do not do anything out of order.
The following instructions are for a full-width desktop/laptop display. This can all be done on mobile too, but it's a lot easier if you don't.
0.2 At the bottom of the page, you'll find a link that says "Easy Group Transfer." Click it.
0.3 Scroll to the bottom of the subsequent page and click on the big blue button labelled "Yahoo Group Instructions."
0.4 You should be at?/yahootransfer. Read the instructions carefully, including all the Notes. Bookmark this page, too. You will come back here several times.
1.1 Create your groups.io group and configure it according to your needs. Help with group settings can be found here:??/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation?(Note: Each new group must be reviewed to confirm that it meets the?Groups.io Terms of Service. This alone could take up to a day.)
1.2 To use the Easy Group Transfer,?you must upgrade the group to the?Premium Yearly?plan.?You can downgrade to the Basic plan later (i.e.: a year from now), if you want.
To do so, select Admin>Upgrade from the left-side menu bar and click on the blue "View/Change Plan" button. Select "Premium Yearly" (one-time cost of?$220) and make your payment.?
(You have now completed Step 1 of the instructions)
2.1 Return to the bookmarked page (/yahootransfer). Click on the big green button at the bottom that says "Set Up New Transfer."
2.2 Enter the name of your Yahoo group and the name of your groups.io group in their respective boxes. The groups.io group is conveniently selected from a pick-list of those groups that you own. Do NOT enter any domain information (i.e.:?leave off[email protected] or @yahoogroups.co.uk),?just the group name.
2.3 Click the big green "Start Group Transfer Process" button at the bottom of the page.?
(You have now completed Step 2 of the instructions)
3.1 Go to your YAHOO GROUP (not your groups.io group) and log in. Send a membership invitation to "[email protected]". If you've never done this before, instructions can be found at??
3.2 Return to the bookmarked page?(/yahootransfer) once again. Select the group you are transferring from the Existing Transfers at bottom right (click on its link). A new page will come up, with?a status box at the top. If all is well, it?should?say: "We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite."?If it?doesn't?say that, the invitation did not go through. Go back to Step 3.1 above and try again.?
(You have now completed Step 3 of the instructions)
4.1 BE PATIENT. Accepting the invitation is often?the longest step in the process, and requires human intervention (solving a CAPTCHA).?
4.2 BE EVEN MORE PATIENT.?Do?not?send additional invitations in an attempt to hurry things up.
4.3 You will eventually?receive an email from groups.io stating?that the Yahoo group invitation has been accepted, and providing you with further instructions.?Continue waiting until you receive this email.
(You have now completed Step 4 of the instructions)
5.1 Return to your YAHOO GROUP and log in. Find the "[email protected]" member record (sorting by join date is the easiest way) and promote it to a Moderator. Instructions for this can be found at?.
5.2 Return to the groups.io page that you bookmarked in #0.4 above one more time. Once again, go to the "Existing Transfers" at bottom right and select the group you're ready to transfer. On the resulting page, click the green "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button.?
(You have now completed Step 5 of the instructions)
6.1 BE PATIENT AGAIN. The ability to actually do the transfer depends on how well Yahoo's servers are operating. We all know what that means, right??(If you want to check status, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948).
6.2 You may notice some activity in your new groups.io group, which probably reflects partial completion of the process.?Do not panic.?This is what you wanted to happen!
6.3 When the transfer is done, you will receive an email from groups.io summarizing what it was able to transfer. It will also list whatever things it was?NOT?able to transfer.?Until this email is received, you aren't done yet.
6.4 Rejoice.
Most of us have "been there" with this process before and it all sounds easy in hindsight. Ironically, the same thing that's causing most people to abandon Y!G (server downtime) is exactly the same thing most likely to get in the way of completing the transfer process.?The best time to initiate a transfer is when Yahoo is performing well.?If you procrastinate until things are crashing and burning, delays, incomplete transfers, and other such frustrations can be expected.
Hope this helps,
Bruce

Re: Not all messages - but message says "transfer complete"
Duane,
The home page says 1,398 messages and, on the Messages page, upper right, it says 1 - 20 of 1.398.
Back at AdcraftOwnersYahoo, there are 4,712.
Thanks,

Is this an example of Groups.io¡¯s antivirus protection?
You haven't provided quite enough information to draw that conclusion. Is your group set up to allow non - members to post? If yes then your conclusion might be correct. If no then it is simply what happens when a non - member tries to post. Chris
