Yes. It's entirely possible to have different sets of moderators for each subgroup, with or without some overlap. The main group owner(s) will always have ultimate control, the subgroups cannot become wholly independent.

Hi all, i am a new user of the group. I need to understand something: Since i am trying to find the button to set a member as a moderator, i started looking for the needed option. But if I click on the member's actions i see set moderation or something like that. How can I set him as owner / moderator? cause, if i check an option, the other will be unchecked. Thanks for helping me.

Not that I know of.

I highly recommend that you leave all column widths at zero (the default) and let your browser auto-format the table to fit the page width.?

No, but you can hide that column by clicking on the ID button at the bottom of the database view.

Are you a newly migrated group?

You may have had a lot of essentially inactive members who had "no emails" set. Notwithstanding that setting they will have received notifications about the move to Groups.io. Those notifications may well have been enough to make them realise that they had lost interest in the group; they had probably forgotten that they were members and this change was just the nudge they needed to leave once and for all.

You might not have wanted the "unsubscribes" but the message you quoted makes it clear that the person concerned left of their own accord.

You might find that you suddenly get a flurry of messages advising you of subscribers being "removed because a message was marked as spam"; if that starts happening see here.

Any ideas?
If you've just transferred from YG, it's not unusual to get a lot of these.? For several years it's been difficult, if not impossible, to leave a YG.? Members have changed their subscriptions to No Email and forgotten about them.? Now when they're notified of the transfer, there's a link that makes it easy for them to unsubscribe.

If you have just moved the group, this is very common. Most of the people leaving probably didn't know they were still subscribed. Others may have not "gotten the message" and don't know what this mysterious groups.io thing is.

Appended below is an example Member Notice of type "Goodbye." This might help some people reconsider, although it hasn't had the desired effect in my own group.

You can send each one a follow-up email if you want, but there is no way to force people to remain.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce

This is the auto-responder for the GROUPNAME group on groups.io. You are receiving this message because you have chosen to unsubscribe from our collaboration group.

We're sorry to see you go! If you change your mind, please send a blank email [email protected]?. If you are still an active member your account on this group will soon be reinstated.?

If you no longer wish to be a member, we'd appreciate the courtesy a reply to this message letting us know what we could have done better. Whatever the reason, we hope to soon meet again.

Kind regards,
The GROUPNAME Moderators

Transfers to a subgroup of a paid group do not have another charge, only to a main group.

Also, can someone be made a Moderator of the subgroup without becoming a Moderator of the main group?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think they can.? I know that moderators of the main group can also moderate subgroups if they have permission.

Re: Subscriber has left [email protected]

 

After my group transferred to from Yahoo to groups.io, I had a few unsubscribes. I think what happened is that these folks were on ¡°no email¡± on the yahoo group and had forgotten they were joined. With the automated ¡°You have been added¡± email that went out, they were reminded that they had once been part of the group, and the message gave them an easy way to unsubscribe.

New subscribers issues #subscription

 

Hi!
I am the moderator of ManualExchange group and apparently the new subscribes (put in moderation with the 3 msg) do not find the button "New Topic" under "#Hashtags" button....
Indeed no new messages appeared even if more than 30 Subs joint us; I am also worried for the not moderated users as well, at this point!
Could you check and verify if I did something wrong, after yahoo migration?
Thanks and BR.

Re: Best way to follow a topic?

 

Frances,

Something to suggest (perhaps in the new year) in Beta - add a follow
button to emails when you subscribe to all messages.
What would this do? If you are set to All Messages you are effectively following everything.

About the only effect I can imagine is as preparation for a subsequent switch to Following Only.

And no way that I can see to add a post to my list of "followed"
posts.
You can do that via the web, but you have to find the topic / hashtag via the Your Groups area, accessed via the Groups.io logo. This is in the help page, but I agree it is really obscure and needs a better user interface.
/static/help#muting

And no way that I know of for tracking my "likes".
That's true. Hopefully something that will improve with the long-awaited notifications overhaul.

I realize that the mute and follow aren't for saving posts for the
future, but it could function that way. An easier way to add in that
functionality?
There has been mentioned in beta an idea for a Favorite feature. It would be similar to a Like, except the designation would be private to you. And of course there would need to be a way to browse and search your favorites.

Subgroup Addition Query

 

I have a large Yahoo group (>4000 members) in line currently for transfer.
There is an opportunity to add a smaller, existing, related, Yahoo group as a subgroup on groups.io.

Is there some way to add the smaller potential subgroup to the transfrer, without incurring another $220 fee?

Also, can someone be made a Moderator of the subgroup without becoming a Moderator of the main group?

Thanks

Steve -- My attempt to be totally clear on this:

If a subscriber of your group goes to Subscription>Group Profile, creates a profile, and changes the Profile Privacy setting to either "Public" or "Other Members of your Group," then that subscriber's profile will be visible to others in the Directory.

Group Moderators and Owners can see profile information no matter what. This can lead to some confusion if they unknowingly refer regular Subscribers to the Directory for information that is not visible to them.

Hope this helps,
Bruce


Re: Directory not showing all members

 

And even though it seems obvious, I want to be sure: If the other change it to "Other members of your group," they'll be seen be every member in the group, correct?

Re: Uploading video: get " wait for i.o --maintenace" message

 

Bruce is correct, videos aren't supported.??
The timeout also happens when loading a large database with lots of addresses that trigger google mapping.
You? don't notice that you are being sliced along with everyone else who is on line.
When your required processing runs to the end of your time slice, you are bumped off.

I hope this is a home video.

After completing the upload (so it says), I get a message saying "wait for groups io" and then 20 sec later a message that says: " group io maintenance: we apologize for the downtime and expect to be back shortly". This has happened several times.
You got timed out.

It seems to depend on server load and the speed of your internet connection.?

Any suggestions? What is the max size of a file to be uploaded?
I'm not aware of any fixed limitation.

Groups.io is not designed for cloud storage. My suggestion is to upload it to a Google Drive or some such and share the file via a link.
