Re: Detailed Instructions on How to Conduct a Yahoo Transfer
Hi Bruce,

Thank you for keep this up-to-date and distributing it. Would it be prudent to state near the top the prerequisite that you must be either an owner of the Yahoo group, or a moderator with both the ¡°Invite and add members¡± and ¡°Add, remove, and change moderator privileges¡± privileges? This might save a few folks from spending the $220 only to find out they can¡¯t do the invite. (And then save groups.io from having to process a refund) Gilbert On Nov 14, 2019, at 3:26 PM, Bruce Bowman <bruce.bowman@...> wrote: |

The only thing I can think of that would cause the symptoms you describe is that she is subscribed to your group under a different email address, with the msn.com address set up as a posting alias.? Have her try to log in under one of her other email addresses. If she's successful, she should be able to find her alias in the "Advanced Settings for Email Aliases" block at?/account. If the msn.com address is indeed present as an alias and she deletes it, you should then be able to subscribe that address to your group. Unfortunately, as a group Owner you cannot look this up for her. Hope this helps, Bruce |

However I believe that there have been problems with MSN with email delivery. But she should be able to login.

How are "Links" represented in Groups.io after migrating my group from Yahoo! Groups?
#links
#transfer
#migration
#yahoo
Hello. I and my group 'darklands' are a recent immigrant from Yahoo! Groups. We are all extremely thankful to have been openly received on friendly shores. Thank you so much!
My question here is about the data category "Links". In our Easy Groups Transfer request to Groups.io the "Transfer Links" option was selected, and in the final transfer confirmation "Transfer Links" was acknowledged as one of the operations with an associated message further down in the report, "42 links were transferred. WARNING: Some links were not able to be transferred because of a bug in Yahoo's export system. You will need to manually review the links." The thing is, In my Groups.io group UI, I don't even see anywhere where Links might be kept or copied to. I have searched in Group_Help, GMF_Help, the transfer FAQ and the online Help for the keyword "link", but nowhere in any of the returns have I found any clue about the final relative endpoint for transferred Links to be placed. I apologize if this is right under my nose. But can anyone help point me in the right direction? Source Y! group:? Links data source path: ? Destination group:?/g/darklands? Links data destination path:? ??? Thanks for your time and assistance. - Matt Wirkkala, Darklands group owner |

Can you tell me how to check on a group transfer that is not showing up.Go to?/yahootransfer. There should be a link for it below the "View Existing Transfer Status" label at lower right.

If I click to buy a Premium account for 1 year, the only option I'm given is to [Start a Group]It sounds like you're making a mistake or not logged into your group.? You should be able to get to the Upgrade page by using /g/GROUPNAME/upgrade?plan=1&yearly=1 and filling in the name of your group where it says GROUPNAME Whatever you do, DON'T delete your group!? That will cause endless headaches.? You can only transfer to the group you upgrade, so don't use a fake one.? The Premium payment is per group, not account.

Re: Can I Send Group Guidelines as an Attachment

Frances, I see how the Guidelines appear under Home (and above Subscription) on the GMF page, but how can I insert Guidelines under Home on my group's Home page?? I like that idea as a way to keep the Guidelines up-front to members. The file I have under Files is a PDF.? I just don't understand how to get them on the Home page.? Think I would also still send them privately to new group members.If you create the Guidelines document in Admin, Settings, Member Notices, it will be in your sidebar, Click Add Notice, scroll down on the list of notices. Choose Guidelines. Paste your notice. Activate it. Save.? As I said, Guidelines is different. It will automatically populate that field in your sidebar. From the wiki - I won't bother to hyperlink the URLs - you can visit and see. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Member-Notices Extra options for the "Group Guidelines" notification:
?
The "Group Guidelines" type of member notice operates differently and has the following features and options:
?
When you set a "Group Guidelines" notice, a new tab appears on the left called "Guidelines" with the notice's content in it
You can make the "Group Guidelines" notice visible only to members (this relates to the Guidelines tab on the left)
You can set two different subject lines (see the official help pages for more details)
You can set the "Group Guidelines" notice to be sent when people join as members
You can set the "Group Guidelines" notice to be be sent every month
If you set it to be sent every month, you can choose to send it as a special notice, to ensure that members who are subscribed as "Special Notices Only" will also receive it
You can only set one "Group Guidelines" member notice at a time (it will disappear from the dropdown list when one such notice has been created)
Also:
?
Since you can use hashtags in the subject line, you can the hashtag functionality to do certain things, e.g.:
delete the previous guidelines post from the group automatically by setting the hashtag's duration as "one month".
set the hashtag to "locked" so that no-one can reply to the guidelines post.
The guidelines can be sent manually by a moderator to a group member at any time, in case the member needs a review of the guidelines

Tip:
If you want to send a message on a regular schedule you can use a calendar event for that.?
