This means that Groups.io has not received your invite yet and that you should send another one.

Correct.

They will send you an email once they have received an invite.

I wish this were true, but it's probably too late to suggest such a tweak to the Easy Group Transfer process.

To be clear, groups.io will send you an email once they have accepted your invite. The only way to know if the Yahoo Groups invitation has gone out and been received by groups.io is to check your status page as noted above. At that point it will say "We have received your invite and will accept it soon..."

Eric, I am confused. You posted in a thread that says Invite accepted.
I thought you meant that you were well on your way. But you asked on Beta?

About how long will it take from when I sent the invite from Yahoo until the invitation is accepted and we can make Groups.io a moderator.?

When did you invite transfer to your Yahoo Group?
If it still says If the status is the message that starts "Make sure you have sent an invite to your group", do it.
Again, if it is over 6 hours. Watch for the acceptance email. Then upgrade the transfer agent to moderator of your Yahoo Group.

Aha! As it happens Groups.io does that for you because Attachments are not included in the transfer.

Problem solved...

Thanks. Just setting up a group now and trying to figure out how to keep attachments from needlessly taking up space.

Maybe use of hashtags would be one way to manage this type of e-mail attachment.

There is a checkbox of what you want transferred. See the screenshot on this page.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

Just be sure to check off in Group Admin, Settings what you want to happen with old attachments if you are over storage.
Remember that messages don't count towards storage.

Just get going or you might miss the boat!

GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

Frances-

This is really a minor issue but with the date issue and suspense . . .

I am currently logged in to both Yahoo page and also the groups.io page with the "Start Group Transfer Process" green button.

Dare I close the Groups.io page and go on with my chores? I would really hate to close it at step 4 and screw up the process.

I'm more than a bit paranoid about the transfer given the 2 weeks we spent getting the Yahoo group to accept me as a member and then owner.

If by that you mean is there a "one click" solution then no, there isn't.

They have to be looked at and (after deciding whether to delete or keep) deleted one by one. Some thought is necessary; the attachments can be deleted but this leaves an orphaned message (or lots of them!) languishing in the archives. More often than not it is likely to be better to go to the parent message and delete both it and its attached photo in one go. (Thinks; can a message be both a parent and an orphan at the same time; discuss)

There are almost certain to be some that are worth keeping, but there is no means of moving them to another location in the Photos section other than by downloading and then uploading again, which strips them of their ownership although this can be restored; be warned - it's time consuming if done at scale.

If you are running out of storage have you got the Out of Space setting set to Delete Old Attachments?

Mark -- See Admin>Settings>Message Formatting>Attachments. This allows you to handle emails containing attachments in any of the following ways:

-- Allow attachments and forward them
-- Strip them before sending
-- Block (reject) the incoming email, or
-- Put emails containing an attachment on moderation

However, there is no function that will allow you to forward the attachment via email without also storing it in the message archive. This might be a good suggestion for.

Attachments may be deleted according to the instructions found at?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Deleting%20attachments,%20files%20and%20photos. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/25046 for further guidance. It is tedious.

Now with a good and functioning Groups.io calendar it would be great if we could just use this calendar as our official calendar and get off Google. BUT we need to be able to print a month on a single sheet of paper to hand out to those who can't get online or prefer the hard copy. I hope this can be done soon as we really need this functionality.

Don -- I don't know a direct way to do this, but you can subscribe to the groups.io calendar using your favorite calendaring software and use the print function in that.

At the bottom of your groups.io calendar is a Subscribe to Calendar button. Click that and a dialog will pop up with a URL that can be used to subscribe your local calendar to your groups.io calendar (the URL ends in feed.ics).?An?ICS file?is a?calendar file?saved in a universal?calendar?format used by several desktop and web?calendaring?programs, including Microsoft Outlook, Google?Calendar, and Apple?Calendar.

Once you complete this subscription and the calendar entries have synced (can take a few hours) you can then print your calendar using the external app. The two calendars will continue to sync at regular intervals and you don't have to do it every time.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Why is it not a good idea to sign my name as owner?? Our group is restricted and all memberships must be approved.

I acted as an Email Manager for 7 years receiving and sending email for 3 different Chapter Presidents during those years. My emails reflected the philosophy/desires/words of each of the president's which at times, I was not in full agreement with because of policy interpretation.?

I signed my name at the bottom of those email and below that included in my signature "on behalf of [Name], Chapter President.?

It proved very valuable down the road and relieved me personally of the responsibility of emailing our members directives that were not supported by policy.?

Is there a process for group managers to eliminate attachments from archived e-mails?

Lets try this again. My last post never got posted for some reason in the Groups.io Beta Group so reposting it here.

First, I love Groups.io! Compared to Yahoo it is a breath of fresh air. I only have one thing I can think of that is desperately needed by our group and that is a print function from the calendar. I tried the print function in the browser (both Chrome and Firefox) but both put out ugly and essentially unusable handouts. We use groups.io for our community of some 150 or so residents but several do not have computers or just prefer to have a hard copy of the calendar. Because Yahoo was so unpredictable in its behavior, especially in regards to the calendar, we created a Google calendar to be our "official" calendar.? Unfortunately this requires a Google account to access as we want to keep the calendar private. We could only get about 1/3 of our community to sign up for it so it was not that successful either. Now with a good and functioning Groups.io calendar it would be great if we could just use this calendar as our official calendar and get off Google. BUT we need to be able to print a month on a single sheet of paper to hand out to those who can't get online or prefer the hard copy. I hope this can be done soon as we really need this functionality.

Here's my advice for a quick solution.

Thanks Jim for weighing in. That was what I first thought of but we aren't seeking?a quick solution. I will await Shal's or another GMF Owner/Mod's response.?

I think adding the alias will end up being the best resolution. That preserves her ability to log into the website from the one email that uses to log in and it allows her to send emails to the group from the other email address that is configured into her mail program.?

So, what happens to those of us who started the process to transfer, paid the upgrade, and then the transfer was blocked by issues at YG?? Over the course of several days, I was transferring 3 groups.? The first two went through just fine and the last one was blocked.?

Shelly -- As of this morning, it's been turned on again. You have three days to complete everything through Step 5 (give the go-ahead). See?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/64560840

Is the 12-1 deadline a hard deadline or will they attempt to transfer until the 12-14 date??

The new deadline of 12/5 is a hard deadline for giving the go-ahead. I'm sure Mark will do everything in his power to complete the transfers of those who meet that deadline.

I edit a club newsletter, and have?never?extended a deadline. I don't want anyone contacting me offline, asking what my "real" deadline is, when I already gave it to them. Folks here are fortunate that Mark seems to feel differently about this.

My first two were transferred quite quickly and I expect this one to be just as easy, but I have no idea how long the queue is at this point.? Getting concerned!

Do not procrastinate...get the agent invited and upgraded and give the go-ahead ASAP. You'll still be at the mercy of Yahoo server crashes or whatever but there's nothing any of us (including Mark) can do about that.
