Can a database with images be exported and the images show up in the exported file?

Charles -- I believe the answer is "no." Exporting as CSV definitely won't work. I have exported such databases as json objects and attempted to import them into Excel, without success. It seems that the export function fails to escape the images into unicode, and the resulting file I'm getting is too small to even possibly contain the images.

If others have done a more rigorous check and met with more success I'd love to hear about it.?

Bruce

In message view, there should be a date or time at upper right. Hover your mouse cursor on that to get the full date/timestamp.

Any way to insert an image into a database if the image is in the PHOTOS section rather than in a file on my computer?

No, not even as a link. Photo URLs are not static. You have to download it from photos and re-upload it to the database.

When you send a message as owner/moderator, it's not saved on the site (yet?), so BCC is the only way to have a copy.? (Unless the person sends it back as part of a reply.)

Must I pre-size all images to be same size before inserting in database for them to appear similar size in database?

Try setting a Display Width for those two columns, and those two columns only. The value is in pixels.?Note, however, that this approach might not play nicely with some display resolutions, particularly on mobile. For that reason I normally suggest leaving Display Width at the default of zero, but for this application it might be just what the doctor ordered.?

Good luck,

Sally,

If I have paid my premium fee and invited [email protected] to my
yahoo group, is my transfer initiated?

If that's all you've done, no.

Don't miss Step 2 and steps 4 through 6.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

My guess is that mark will treat Steps 2 and 3 together as initiating the transfer, if only because Step 4 requires Groups.io to take a manual step (solve a Captcha) to accept the invitation.

But only Groups.io can give a definitive answer.

Terri,

Oh brother. so Shal could have a point, they could be overloading
Yahoo's servers and getting in Mark's way.

That was actually Duane's comment, not mine.

I'm not certain that Yahoo does rate limiting by group, in the past it has always been access from a given IP address that gets limited, regardless of how many groups that address was accessing. Rate limiting by group would be problematic, especially back when some groups had hundreds of thousands of active members.


On the other hand, most of what I "know" about Yahoo's internal workings dates from Classic groups - the team that put Neo in place has been much more opaque about the inner workings.

I'm not going to discourage anyone from trying to capture content before it is removed.

Oh brother.? so Shal could have a point, they could be overloading Yahoo's servers and getting in Mark's way.? I don't know how they archive anything at this point since it's impossible to read messages.? Do we really need their help?? We're all saving our own groups.? ?If this outage is due to their "help," they're doing more harm.? I hope Yaoho can come back long enough for people to get their groups moved here.

Thanks, Frances.

Terri

Niman,

When using the "Send message" function to email a member about a
pending post, is the message saved somewhere?

No.

Hence the Bcc checkboxes so that you can save it yourself.

The "+owner messages" tab on the member's profile ... Are these
messages FROM the member to +owner?

Correct.

There was discussion long ago in beta about adding messages from +owner to this tab, or having a more general list of messages to/from the +owner address. That was never acted on.

A volunteer organization.

Their home page says:?Archive Team is a loose collective of rogue archivists, programmers, writers and loudmouths dedicated to saving our digital heritage. Since 2009 this variant force of nature has caught wind of shutdowns, shutoffs, mergers, and plain old deletions - and done our best to save the history before it's lost forever.?

Wikipedia: ?

Looks like you can volunteer your computer! ?They also mention manual tasks:
"Yahoogroups-joiner Filling out captchas to archive Yahoo Groups. IRC Channel #yahoosucks (on EFnet)."

See?

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

What's the Archive Team?

Terri

Webchhk,

1. If Yahoo fixes the outage and transfers start again, because I've
started my process before December 1, 2019, does that mean my group
and subgroup will still be allowed to transfer?

Most likely.

Mark asked that transfer requests be in by December 1st, so that he can be reasonably sure to be able to complete them before Yahoo removes access to the content. Of course, Yahoo outages in the mean time aren't helping.

2. If Yahoo doesn't fix the outage, ... can we request a refund for
going Premium?

Yes. Mark has mentioned this on several occasions.

3. Are there any manual work arounds that anyone knows about? We don't
want to get caught out there after December 14th with all of our
data deleted.

Yes, but if Yahoo is not functioning well those work-around will likely run into the same or similar problems attempting to access the data.

See the FAQ, items 10 & 14:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups

There is also a chrome browser plug-in that is known to produce an mbox file of the correct format for import - it was written by Mark Fletcher himself during development of the transfer agent. However, recently people have reported trouble getting it to run.

(The plan is to ... leave the conversations there as an archive, ...

A rather short-lived archive, given Yahoo's plan is to remove the Conversations along with the other web content.

I've been monitoring the Archive Team's live progress of backing up the ENTIRE Yahoo Groups

Hmm, I wonder if that's part of the reason that Mark is having so much trouble?? We all know YG isn't in the best of health and this extra load sure wouldn't help.? One thing he's mentioned that he keeps running into is the rate limiter.? Basically, it's how many times a group can be accessed in a given amount of time, so having this other site backing things up will increase the number of hits.

Groups.io has been VERY clear in their communication that if your transfer wasn't initiated by December 1st, the transfer couldn't happen.

Mark hasn't decided on a "hard" date for initiation, only no promises after Dec 1.? From what I've seen him do in the last 5 years, I expect he's going to do everything he can to get as many groups transferred as possible.? He has clearly stated that if you upgrade to Premium and he's unable to do the transfer, he'll gladly refund your money and delete your group for you.
