FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups
GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

Thank you, Larry, your explanation of why is probably true, but it doesn't answer my question of how to find the messages.? The group in question is busy enough that the messages have scrolled off what the home page shows.

Your original question this evening was:

I posted this under a question asking how to search for messages by author, because that is what I need to do to find out whether the multiple messages really exist in the database (and if so, I want to delete them) or it was just a hiccup by groups.io's sending system.

That earlier question is here: /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/21944638?p=,,,100,0,0,0::relevance,,%23search,100,2,0,21944638,ct=1&ct=1

The answer given there does not work.? Thus my, "And then what?"

Open one of the messages in your group homepage.?
There is a "hamburger" menu that allows you edit, view source, lock topic, etc.

If this isn't your problem, please ask again.
Since you are brand new here, you might find the wiki useful.

And then what?

I just received 8 copies of what appear to be the same message.? I've found the poster in the list of members, but there isn't any "More" menu or other useful controls.




Mod's note: subject edited. Doesn't seem to be part of a thread.

In YahooGroups (web interface), the URL of each message ends with the number of that message, and that number is incremental starting with "1" back at the beginning of the group and its first post.
In Groups.io, the upper right corner of the web interface says "1 - 20 of 13074"
That is where I am getting my numbers from.

Over the 20 years my group has been in existence, it's possible some messages have been deleted.? But 133 seems high.? I am the only one allowed to post, and I am the only owner/moderator.? If any had been deleted, I'd guess less than a dozen, not over 100!

Is there a way to export Groups.io messages in mbox format so I could 'diff' it against the YahooGroups mbox export and identify the oddities that way?

Ron -- Create a hashtag with the "no email" flag set, and add that hashtag to each such message. That will do what you want.

Kinda awkward, I admit; but seems better than temporarily changing everyone's message delivery setting and then trying to change them all back. It will also help you find all the affected messages later, if for some reason things don't go as expected.

Not directly.? You'd have to forward or copy each one as an email from you, so much of the 'envelope' would be lost.
Duane

I would like to do this.? I've got an announcement-only group. I am the only one allowed to post, and therefore have all of the original messages in my Sent mail folder on my computer that I can just forward in to Groups.io.

My question is, can I temporarily turn off the mailing out of messages from my Groups.io group, so subscribers don't see the same messages again?? And then once the missing messages are in, turn it back on, and proceed like normal?

Thanks.

The YahooGroups appeared to have 13207 messages in it at the time of export.? But the Groups.io import only has 13074 messages in it, leaving behind a mysterious 133 messages.

Is there any way to identify what messages got missed, and why?

Ron -- How did you determine the "expected number?"

You cannot count on the message number of the highest message to be the same as the total messages present. I suspect these 133 messages were deleted from your Yahoo group before the export ever occurred.?

My YahooGroups -> Groups.io transfer completed today (woooo!)? See below for the progress I experienced.

I think my export from Yahoo happened overnight (Sat26 into Sunday27).

No.

Bruce, thank you for your fast reply.? Now I know how to edit and delete individual tables.

Our imported Yahoo Group folders of links form 19 tables of links in our new Groups.io home.

Is there a way to delete all 19 tables simultaneously?

Or must one delete each table one-at-a-time?

There doesn't seem to be an option to delete all tables simultaneously in the upper-left of the Databases screen.? (I tried unsuccessfully to insert an image of the upper screen.? The only two options seem to be +Create Table and +Import Table.? But no option to delete all tables.)

Me, again. Still trying to figure it out.

The list of members seems complete.

But even some people already listed as members are "applying" and I have to approve.

Is it possible that my setting -- to require approval of new members -- is gumming up the works?

?

It looks like transfer@... (not ) has accepted the invite but this is the status message and it hasn't changed in days. When I try to resend the invite to [email protected] it gets bumped as Invalid email address. When I try to resend the invite to transfer@... I get Already subscribed. This is the message I get when I click on my existing transfer. I cannot get a bead on where this is at or what I need to do, if anything. Can someone help please??

The instructions on the transfer page at?/yahootransfer?say the following:

3. Send an invite?from your Yahoo Group?to?[email protected]?(bold text in original)

Are you trying to invite the transfer agent to your groups.io group? If so, that will not work, and it's no surprise that the status page screenshot shows that no invitation has been received.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Mr. Bowman,

You are correct Sir. I will give it more time. Thank you.

Scott.
