Re: Backlog

 

No problem. Status is shown as acceptance is pending. Suppose there is some backlog.

Do you use a PP credit/debit card?? On the Upgrade page, there's only a place to enter CC information, nothing about PP.

As of this morning, we've completely worked through the backlog of Yahoo Group transfer requests. It took 29 days, but we did it. :-)

I've removed the option to pay for a priority transfer.

I'm still only responding to support emails from premium group owners right now. There's just too much otherwise. Also, the beta group is still moderated.

A reminder: please get your transfer requests in by the end of the month.

Have her change the setting for her Profile Privacy to "Only group owners & moderators".? That will keep it from showing in the Directory that other members see.? You can't do it for her.

Backlog

 

Any info on backlog? Wondering anyone knows?
Some transfer requests made yesterday are still in invite acceptance stage.
Picture Attributions Again

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

A comment was made that if you make an error in attributing a picture to a member incorrectly from the pull-down list, you have to go back to the beginning and start afresh.
That is not the case.

In the pull-down list, you type the first letter of the member you want, then type the same letter again for the next member with the same starting letter.
If you keep typing the same letter repeatedly, the list cycles through all the members with that starting letter, and then goes to the top and starts over.

Hiding contact info from others

 

We have a very shy member who doesn't want anyone else in the group to know her contact info.? I'd like to hide her completely from the directory listing members can access.? Is there any way to do that?

While I can see Bruce Wilson's point I do agree that the title serves little or no real purpose. If I was told "it has to stay" I would then ask that could it - and the Group Name above it - at least be centre justified rather than left justified; the overall appearance would be much better. Even Introduction as per Bruce's post just "feels" better; a simple "About Us..." wouldn't look too bad either.?

Re: Visibility of Directory

Have you created a dummy member (an ordinary member) for yourself yet, to log into the group with, so that you can see what an "ordinary" member would ordinarily see?
That raises an interesting point; where the Directory is available to Subscribers an Owner / Moderator has no clue when looking at the Directory about whether any given individual's profile is publicly visible or not. Even logging in as an ordinary member may not help much because the Directory is not searchable and a manual search through (perhaps) many pages to find out if a given Subscriber is visible or not would almost certainly be rather tedious.

So... should the Directory provide a simple means for a Owner/Moderator to see if an entry is public or not? Or does it not really matter?

Even if it should now is probably not the time to ask...

Re: How can I add an image to show in the groups list?

 

Frances,

I did find how to find the Feed page after I followed your explanation, and now I know what the icon discussion is about. I did add an image a while back, but had forgotten I did that. When I read at the place where the icon is added "The group icon is displayed on the mobile home page.", for some reason I thought this icon was for mobile devices like Smartphones and the like. I'm guessing now the word "mobile", must mean something else than I thought.

Re: #suggestion Front Page Format #suggestion

 

I respectfully disagree.? The group description title points one to exactly where the group description is without having to give it much thought.? Same as in a paper the title Introduction lets one know what follows is the introduction.

Re: #suggestion Front Page Format #suggestion

 

When things have calmed down, you can post this suggestion to Beta that Mark (Groups.io) monitors. GMF is a peer-to-peer forum only.
That being said, good to start a discussion about such things here first.

Re: Upgrading to Premium

 

Please review this FAQ:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups

Especially important;
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.

Scroll down any page and you will see a link to easy group transfer.

However, read the FAQ first.?

About PayPal - Groups.io uses Stripe to pay. I believe you *may* be able to pay with PayPal if you have a Stripe account. However you don't need a Stripe account to pay.

Yes, but it can be a bit tedious, so you wouldn't want to do it too often.
Richard -- Keep in mind that your changes will only affect the online message archive. The emails have already gone out; if anyone replies, you'll end up doing a split-and-merge all over again. Consider putting both topics on moderation so you can head off any incoming posts with the wrong subject line and redirect them.
