I am not a hashtag user. Can someone explain what the purpose is and is it necessary for a chat list? If so why? I don't use them and I have many older, retired people on the list that I am sure would be confused. I didn't want to frustrate them so I didn't click on the hashtag permission part.

Thank you,
Susan?

I was going to buy the license... but no one there has answered any of my emails in over a week :/

Do you have recent evidence that content ownership is truly lost if someone joins the GIO group early...despite using the correct Y!G email address?

A valid question, and one I cannot answer from recent experience. I do know for sure that when the group I moderate migrated a couple of years ago although message attributions seemed to be OK the ownership of photos and files went awry. In reality that was not a major issue. It showed up after the Owner asked moderators to sign up in advance of the import of material from Yahoo.

I got the same thing when I tried. Just more crappy Yahoo system nonsense. I have a Yahoo building near me and you can see all these people in meeting rooms all day. I have no idea what they talk about in there, but it definitely isn't quality standards. I think they just live in their little isolated corporate bubble.

I just got up and running on my group early this AM and want to find a particular member and not finding out how and where to look them up.

I go to members under Admin and only have one pending approval. Tried entering info on member address in search box with and without % at the end like Yahoo but that did not bring them up.

Tried looking under Directory and get boxes for each member with picture icon, name and button to email but that is totally useless with almost 1300 members to track someone down.

All your group members are in Admin, Members.?
It would be easier if all members had a display name. Not sure how to make sure that happens.

The Directory is up to members whether or not they wish to be listed for the group to see. (And the settings in Admin the group owner has made about this.)

If you go to admin, click on members, any new book pending approvals Will be listed under pending at the very top. Then you will be able to click on their email address, and it will bring up all the different options that you can do what their membership such as approving.

I do understand the anxiety and frustration associated with having to just sit and wait, while feeling powerless to bring anything to a satisfactory conclusion.?

At the same time, one of the things I hated about my last job is whenever there was a crisis, our management would ask for daily status reports, formatted a certain way, etc. and we had to come to a meeting at the end of the day equipped with a PowerPoint presentation. This seriously obstructed progress in getting the actual work done, and I'd hope groups.io does not adopt the same business model.

This too will pass, although sometimes things pass like a kidney stone. I encourage more people who complete this Easy[?] Group Transfer process to continue to come here and report their satisfaction with how things went.?

Regards,
Bruce

On that page, click on the blue Pending Approval button to get a list of other member pages.? The one you want is Members.? FYI, when there are any pending members, that will be the default page when you choose Members under the Admin menu.

I guess it would be useful to know what are the acceptable image suffixes and it it would be useful if a fault message identified the problem on screen, rather than just show a blank page.

Magnus --?The problem with bitmaps is that only about half of readily available browsers will render them, thus leaving blanks in the slide show display and thumbnails. I'm also unsure that the automated photo resizing used by groups.io is capable of handling other formats, assuming you have that turned on in settings.

Subscribers should really be encouraged to upload their photos in standard, web-friendly formats (e.g.: JPEG, GIF and PNG). Glad you were able to figure this out, and thanks for coming back to close the loop.

Bruce

Title says it all - is there a way to migrate an existing groups.io group into another as a subgroup?
Thanks in advance.

We're a user-to-user group, so we don't have any more information than you do.? No one from groups.io management monitors this group.

I had a member join BEFORE the import. All of their messages imported correctly.... all the way back to 2003.

I would suggest moving your group while you are waiting. I would have but for the fact that we got imported before the big rush.

The vanity join date WILL be affected, however.

I was wondering, is there any mechanism to import this content into my already existing Groups.io group??

Earl -- There is no function that will allow you to import your group from groups.io's own export, much less one from a different provider. You will have to upload all the content manually, as others who have foregone the Easy Group Transfer process have been doing.

Hiya,

Thank you very much forworking so hard to help rescue so many of us Yahoogroups refugees.

A couple weeks back I signed up to save our two most important groups and there were about 800 groups ahead of us in the que. Today, there's a little under 400 people in front of us. So I guess it will take a couple more weeks?

The problem is when you go to check your status in the que it falsely claims it will take a "few days," which is not true!

Is there any way Groups.io could create a primary Yahoogroups transfer status update page that shows how many groups in the que have been processed each day, as well as how many people are currently waiting in the que, as well as notices regarding down time, processing time estimates for people waiting in the que, etc. ?

For many of us who are discussing paying way more money for way more groups to be transferred, the current status of how many are in the que and how long the wait is will likely help us decide how much money we need to give Groups.io to get the job done. Without this vital information that we have no access to, it's very hard to let people in our groups know how much funding we need to save our history.

Please make it easier for us to understand the details of what's going on so we're more willing to pay more money! Thanks!

Thanks, Deane

My question to you as PGO user is: can one export the messages to an MBOX-like format?? I have the trial version here but it seems that one can only export to HTML or to an SQL database.
Samuel

This Chrome extension, written by groups.io's very own Mark Fletcher, will retrieve and save the messages to an mbox file.
