Never had it work this way before:
Today, I (owner of a group) received the Subscription Approval Needed email. I clicked on the link to 'View Pending Member' and Chrome opened up to the prospective member's listing. I clicked on 'Approve' and was taken to the membership list page. So far, so good. BUT... that list only showed 5 members: The member I just approved, the first member that signed up with the group before the transfer which was in February, 2018, myself and two moderators. So I followed the following sequence: 'Your Groups>(my group)>Admin>Members and the list shows the 978 members I expected to see, but not the new member I just approved.?

Is this just a symptom of the overwhelmed servers or does this seem like a bug I should watch for a few days to see if it clears up and if not, report to support?

And one other thing that's not important on our group, but details of how things work always intrigue me, the actual request email came late last night (11/1) and even though I approved it today (11/2), the joined date on that new member that only showed up on the first abbreviated member list was 11/1. Is it always the case that the joined date is the date they applied and not the date they are approved?

As I said, I would like to be able to split some groups from one account and move them to another account without moving all of them.

Join all groups (or just the groups you want to 'split and move') with both email addresses (accounts).
If you are an Owner or Moderator set both email addresses with the privileges you desire.

Then, either:
-set one email address in each group to "No Mail" (or "Special Notices" if "No Mail" is not permitted).
OR
-unsubscribe one email address from each group as you desire.

I suggest the former.


ALTERNATELY
Change your email address (account) in the groups you want to 'split and move'

This is done to work with email services that require DMARC compliance.? You can read about it on the Help page, /static/help#dmarc? It won't interfere with replies if they're done with a modern browser or online.

• Emails arriving out of order

That would be the email service.? Most of the time emails from Groups.io are almost instantaneous.

Duane has done what I should have done, so I have also looked at your home page and indeed I can see your 2 test messages. No File or Photos though.

However, for the moment I stand by my theory that your members haven't actually joined. Check on your Members tab; how many are listed? There are other ways of checking but that one should be perfectly sufficient.

I am going to speculate that you have your group set such that messages are not publicly visible.

I may be wide of the mark but I am going to guess that while you invited them to join your group what they have done is gone and visit the home page but haven't actually done anything about joining. Had they done so you would have had a blizzard of notofications about them all.

Just visiting a Home Page does not make people members. They actually gave to go through the process of joining.

There's no reason they shouldn't be able to see messages.? You have the group set for Public messages/archives.? I can go to the group and read them even though I'm not a member.

For the rest of them, go to your Settings page and scroll down to the Features area.? For each feature, check the Permissions box.? You probably haven't given permission for subscribers to access those areas.

Hi – I have just started a new? group in Groups.io called Stamps of Great Britain as our Yahoo group is closing.

I found the set up process quite easy, or so I thought. Uploaded Photos, files and a welcome message etc and invited just two members to join as a test, before inviting the other one hundred or so. Unfortunately they reported back saying they could not access the messages or topics and on the left hand side the features like photo’s, files, hashtag, data base etc were not shown on the screen.

Clearly I have not set up the groups settings correctly and after spending very many hours checking and rechecking, I can not find out what I have done wrong.

Please can you help
Many thanks

John

Sorry Bruce, can you explain that again??

I am in step 3, there are now 818 groups ahead of me.
So any new messages and new subscribers won't be transferred?

Susan -- You are now in the queue for import. This means that your Yahoo group has already been exported/saved.

Anything that is subsequently posted to your Yahoo group does not appear in that exported content.

Therefore, any posts, subscribers or any other content that is added* since you went to Stage 3 (I'm calling it Stage 3 because that's a better term than Step 3) will NOT appear in your GIO group when it's eventually imported.

I hope this helps, because I don't know how to make it any more clear than that!

Regards,
Bruce

*Can't add much else but messages and subscribers now, since Oct 28 has come and gone.

You can use "special notice" feature that only goes from owner / moderator.

Just wanted to point out that Special Notices go to all group members, except those with "No Mail" subscription settings. These do go to members who have opted for Special Notices Only in their subscription. That's why I don't permit "No Mail" subscriptions in my groups. But I am careful about abusing Special Notices, sending them infrequently.

Nothing.? That's just the way it works here.? People have asked for a more graceful way to do it, but nothing has been changed yet.

Yes I suspect that you are correct. What are you trying to achieve? If you wish to download a photo from an archive it is not necessary to click on Edit first. That aside, after downloading a photo all you need do is click the back button on your browser (is that what you were referring to when you said click my back arrow at the top of my server company (AOL)) and it will return you to the view you had immediately prior to clicking on Download. Another back click will take you up a level to the Album in which the photo resides and so on.

It is perfectly straightforward.

If the status is "Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io.", then what will be copied from the YG is already done.? That was completed with the export.

I must be missing something.? When I go to a photo in an album and I click on Edit and go down to the bottom and click on download, up comes the photo (which is great).? After I right click and do the Save as, I'm at a loss as to how to get out of the photo itself.? There is no "X" to click on .? No "back".? No column on the left side to click on Photos again.? The only way I've found to get out of that state is to click my back arrow at the top of my server company (AOL).

What am I missing?? There has to be a way to get out of the photo and back to the photo picture in the album.? Or at least back out of that one download screen itself.? I even just click on the photo a second time to see if it took me out - nope.

Help!!

Sincerely,

Rli@...
