Re: Answers to questionnaires from pending members.

 

Duane, thank you. I¡¯m the owner and it¡¯s set up for all emails.

Does a member need to be approved before I can receive their completed questionnaire?

Possible to download YG cover photos for reuse in GIO?

 

I have transferred or recreated a number of groups from YG onto GIO. I have backed up messages/files/photos on the groups that were not full "easy transfers", via PG Offline. My question is whether there is a way to download existing cover photos from YG, which I had initially created and uploaded years ago but failed to keep the originals files accessible. It would be nice to be able to reuse some of these banner photos on the new groups rather than starting from scratch. I do not see any obvious way to download them from the YGs, nor can I see where they would be stored on the group site/settings. Any suggestions? Linda N
Re: Transfer queue wait time

Edward Borg
 

I currently have 711 groups ahead of mine.
This was because of an issue I had starting my transfer the first time.
It required me to delete my transfer request to fix it and start a new one.
Now will there be enough time to get my group transferred before Yahoo removes all of our messages?

I'd suggest printing out the Detailed Instructions at /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/detailed_instructions_on_how/39832225 to make sure you haven't overlooked something.? Once the invite is received by GIO, all you need to do is wait.

Re: Where is the "Set Up Transfer" button

In fact I have already paid. The Admin page show that my AmEx card had been charged and the payment received.

I would have expected taking the next step rather than a "Wait, we'll get back to you" message. In short, there's nothing I can do and there's nothing that Groups.io is doing. The only thing going on is that basically I've been chastised to not send anymore invitations to join my Yahoo group.

You say "Accept the invitation from the Yahoo Group". ?Do you mean TO the Yahoo Group from the groups.io Transfer email?

Have you paid for the year of Premium?

Margaret -- No, and I doubt that you have this issue, either.

Where are you looking? If looking at an individual message, hover your mouse cursor over the date/time at upper right and the entire date/timestamp will show up as a tooltip.

If you're looking at the message table/calendar on the home page, message indexing is currently lagging the transfer upload by about 17 hours. Wait at least that long and the problem should resolve itself.

2) We have 30k messages on the old Yahoo Groups.? For those of you with big sets of messages to transfer-- how long did it take you to get ALL your messages?? We did the expedite and it took a couple of days to get the first half (~16k), but I am still waiting on the other half of the messages (~16k).?

Are you sure your transfer is actually done? If you haven't received a transfer summary email, it could still be underway.

The second question concerns where you are looking to get this information. If you're looking at your home page, that displays the number of topics, not messages. Check the message number of the most recent message and I'd bet that it's a lot closer to your expected figure.

Regards,
Bruce

As good a bit of evidence that it is spam or a phishing attack as you're likely to find. As it was from a non - member address, and you don't allow non - members to post its appearance in the Activity Log is entirely normal.

I can answer #1 sort of! Only previous years have the year showing. The current year is only month and date. We transferred some time ago and the years are there for 2018 and earlier. However perhaps someone who transferred a week or so ago can chime in.

Don,

I can't tell what you are trying to imply.

The message you reference appears to be a SPAM/phishing example.

There are settings in the Group Admin section for whether or not you want to Moderate or Block messages flagged as containing a virus.

And, of course, you have options for how non-member messages should be handled.
?
All I see is a message from a non-member being rejected. What is your concern?

Hello Mark

If don't know whether you have some deeper computer knowhow - and a linux machine too.
If your outgoing mail service provider allows so called relaying, you may send messages with any "from"-header you want. You could save the mails to files, edit the "To:"-headerfield from the yahoo-address to the groups.io-address, and? send them then with
cat $FILE | /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t

If you don't have this possiblity, then you should watch out to keep the thread relations at least:
For each topic send only the hierarchically oldest mail.
groups.io will deliver it then to you as a normal groups.io-mail.
Now you can answer on this mail.
This will set you as author of all the mails, but it will keep the thread relations.

Gotcha. Thanks! It's really a short term solution. The owners and moderators skied up on us so I save what I could.

With just 50 why can't you simply manually forward to [your group name]@Groups.IO? from either the Yahoo site itself or some Yahoo group member' s email facility (perhaps yours)?

I have 22,000 messages to worry about.? We'll most likely try to use Groups.IO's transfer agent process but I note big possible delays and confusion in the process.?

Thanks for your hard work!


WIKI: is it possible to create an folder hierachy?

 

Hello,

I'd like to create a wiki with a structure like folders and subfolders and files. I remember mediawiki where you had to include the path in the filename, which then provided the wanted structure. But the groups.io wiki appearently replaces all slashes with dashes.

So it looks like all files are laying in a flat folder. Keeping a naming system extensible and having speaking URLs at the same time might become quite difficult if the file count increases.
