Stuck ~Before~ Actual Transfer
Good Morniing, ? I am trying to transfer 3 Yahoo groups.? I've been following the EXCELLENT instructions in "Detailed Instructions on How to Conduct a Yahoo Transfer" but I believe maybe I made a mistake.? I invited "[email protected]" to my groups and received messages from ~Yahoo~ that I had a new member in all my groups about 1 a.m. CST.? I made [email protected] a moderator in each group.? Now I realize I never received the email from ~groups.io~ stating the Yahoo group invitation had been accepted.? Things seem to be stuck.? Did I make a mistake making [email protected] a moderator before receiving that e-mail?? I don't have the "Give Go Ahead To Transfer" button on my Transfer Setup page. ? It's been more than 10 hours.? Am I just not being patient enough? ? Linda ? ? |

Re: Changing Display Name
Absolutely, yes; go through Admin/Members, click on the member to change, update the display name and then save.
Having said that, would you not want the individual members to change their display names themselves in their group profile? I appreciate some members would be a little nervous if they're not too web-savvy, but you could put a short how-to together for them? Regards Derek |

Proposal: Sharing language help for groups in the Wiki
#translation
#wiki
There have been people saying they need translations of some of the interface and there are others who say they have created such translations.
I suggested a section of GMF wiki to store and share translations that are useful for using Groups.io.? I got this started, and now I am hoping that owners will decide to share with others through the wiki. What is ready for you: l set up a new topic on the wiki, and it is ready for you and for content.? The landing page lists separate pages for different languages?This is essentially a subsidiary table of contents for the wiki for the different language pages.
I created the first entry on the landing page, just to show style. ?
To add content or new languages:
Click on New Page to create a page for your language help page. Each language should have its own page, but if necessary, there could be more than one page for a specific language, (For example, one for Admin functions for owners or moderators, one for members.)?
?
URL: This is the style for the URL for each language page.?
?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Language---xxx
URLs are automatically generated by the title of the page. So there may be a page titled Language - French, one titled Language - German (or Deutsch - your preference). Save the page. After you save the page, copy the URL for the page. List the page on the landing page (not the main Table of Contents for the wiki).
Link it here:?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Languages%3A-Translation-Help-for-Groups.io Okay, start here!
Translation Help for Groups.io landing page (ToC) Wiki pages are easy to create - write or paste and you can change font, colour, indents, etc. in the Advanced Toolbar ("hamburger" menu). You can also link and add attachments and screenshots / photos. Special Character in the second line of the Advanced Toolbar has accents and other diacriticals. ?
And don't worry - the beauty of a wiki is that you can undo. You can compare pages and revert to an older version if necessary.?
Useful to put a brief explanatory note in the footer saying what you have changed.? ?
I hope the is clear enough!
?
The only thing you have to be careful about is not losing the page you are working on before it is linked - hooked into - the landing page menu. You can see all the pages of the wiki at the bottom of the main page - a blue button Pages. But there are lots of them.
That's why I suggest you adopt a style - languages - French, languages - Greek, etc.? There is a search box at the top of the wiki screen.
A little bit of help:

Re: Transfer NOW
Bruce,
Andrew -- You cannot *add* the [email protected] email address, youI think this advice might be hasty. Notice that Andrew said "the accepted email" - I think that indicates use of Invite. On the other hand, the green "Give Go Ahead To Transfer" should have appeared when the transfer agent accepted the invitation in Step 3. So maybe something is out of sequence. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups Or an instance of the suspected bug you reported. [In fact, I thought Yahoo's direct add function was not working.]That page was removed many years ago. However, Yahoo's help on the subject confusingly offered the "Add only to mailing list" checkbox on the invite page as its equivalent / replacement. See the Invite Members screenshot in Step 3. That terminology leads some people to refer to its use as "adding" the address, even though the function is the same as a regular invitation. The only difference is that with the checkbox the Invitation that is sent doesn't direct the invitee to sign-in / create a Yahoo account.

I need the possibility to either override, translate or turn off the "Confirm Your Groups.io Subscription" messageAt present, you have no control of this message.? Translation of the site/messages to other languages is an often requested feature, but it will be a huge task.? If you send an invitation, their email address should be confirmed when they accept the invitation.? If you have a paid group, you can Direct Add people, bypassing the confirmation step.

I started another transfer process, hopefully that won't be stuck.? Is it ok to start a yahoo group to sub group transfer while the main group transfer is still yet to start or in progress??? I have 2 small subgroups that need to go under this currently stuck transfer and I was wondering if it's ok to get those going while that one gets unstuck.? The transfer user exists in the main Yahoo group, so can I start the other 2?I don't see why not. Hopefully they will go more smoothly. Bruce |
